#hacker/netrunner peter is something that I haven't seen explored much

[edgepunk]

cooking up an AU where Peter is nudged more into the gray area where he isn't a villain nor a hero, but works for himself as a hacker/information broker who also might or might not be going for a huge database chock-full of information on New York's most powerful people that he could either sell for a huge amount of money, use for blackmail or straight up start a war between all the criminal overlords "information is power" and all that

he is just known as The Spider, but a lot of people think he's an urban legend, because he likes to work very discreetly and makes sure to cover up his tracks. it's mostly those shady people/criminals that are aware of him who hire him to get information. he also occasionally helps to track down missing people or hunts down human traffickers. he doesn't care as long as he gets paid.

he lies to his friends and family that he works as a cybersecurity guy for a company
