#spidey 60th

[renatogpadilla]

Just read the 1000th issue of "Amazing Fantasy" (Happy 60th, Spider-Man!) and while all the stories were GREAT I gotta say Neil Gaiman's hit me square in the heart.

Sir, if you see this, I thank you for all you write. I gotta go start "Good Omens" now.

L'Uomo Ragno #399 publishing Marvel Age Spider-man #4

Outstanding cover by Mark Brooks! (That got half covered by that bulky Marvel Age band in the american edition... how could you?! 😭)

[makeminebronze]

Closing out our celebration of Spidey's 60th year, it's worth reflecting on his status as flagship character for Marvel itself and how frequently he's the representative that interacts with other universes, genres, even different mediums!

popcorn and broken bones

peter parker x gender neutral reader. 469 words. notes: in honor of spidey's sweet 60th this year, i'm excited to officially add him to this blog's roster! happy birthday to my all time number one 🤟♥️🕸 (enabled by the ever lovely @magicalbeanie for my blogiversary!) warnings: food, discussion of injury, lord of the rings references

you set the bag of popcorn on his chest, tucked against the cast on his forearm, and crawled into bed beside him.

"want some?" propped up on your elbow, you reached into the bag and grabbed a few pieces.

he hummed an affirmative, watching you with a hint of a smile on his face. "yes please."

you brought the popcorn up, rolling your eyes affectionately when he opened his mouth wide with an exaggerated aaah sound.

you fed him the pieces from your hand before turning your attention back to the tv and grabbing a few pieces for yourself just in time to see a helmet hurtling towards the screen like a soccer ball, accompanied by a gut wrenching scream from the man behind it.

"you know," peter hummed, "apparently he broke two toes kicking that."

"so i've heard."

"didn't say anything until after the cameras stopped."

"mhm," you responded, feeding him another piece of popcorn. "very dedicated."

"yeah."

after a few minutes passed, you nudged him gently, drawing his attention from the screen. "how many bones do you think you've broken?"

"hrm," he muttered thoughtfully, gaze sliding up to the ceiling. "different bones? or do repeated breaks count?"

"repeated breaks count."

"ribs... toes... fingers... multiply by the sinister six, carry the four..." he trailed off before meeting your eyes with a grim look. "a lot."

you couldn't help a resigned laugh. "too many."

"probably." he shifted so that his good arm could reach the popcorn, grabbing a handful and tossing a piece into his mouth. "definitely more than anyone would recommend."

"i think the real question is how many you broke before the whole-" you mimicked a webshooter with your hand, aiming playfully at his face- "situation."

he chuckled. "hm... just one, i think. this finger," he paused to wiggle his pointer finger, "when i was about twelve."

"so, really, the rest of 'too many' weren't you breaking them. more like they got broken."

"i do enjoy blaming supervillains for things."

"they make it pretty easy."

"yeah," he grinned, "with all those crazy abilities, and the suspicious masks, and the property damage. makes them pretty easy targets. i mean, who does that stuff?"

he earned a fond eyeroll. "i was thinking more the hostage taking and murder, actually."

"even more reason to blame my many broken bones on new york's most villainous."

"exactly." with that, you scooped the end of the popcorn out of the bag and passed it to him before moving the bag itself onto his nightstand.

you scooted downwards, resting your cheek against his chest and sighing contentedly.

"comfy?"

"mhm. for somebody that's been broken into about four million pieces, you sure do make a good pillow."

he chuckled, draping his good arm over your shoudlers. "if only i could put that on my resumé."

AU Idea: X-Spiders

Have you ever wondered what if would be like if other Marvel characters had spider powers?

No? Well too bad!

I stumbled upon this incredible artwork done by the incredibly talented Marcus the Visual, which as you can see, depicts several of the X-Men with spider powers, but done in a way that combines that with their already existing powers.

And after seeing this, this gave me the idea of make an entire AU around this concept.

And I figured now would be the best time to do so since this month not only marks the 60th anniversary of the X-Men, but also because there's been notable rise in Spider-Man AU concepts and Spidersona AUs thanks to the recent release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

So without further ado, let's jump in!

-Immediately, when fleshing out this concept, the hardest part of it was trying to figure out how the X-Men would get their powers. When it comes to power origins, Spider-Man and the X-Men are about as different as you can get. Spidey got his powers from a radioactive spider bite, whereas the X-Men (along with the entire mutant race as a whole) are born with their powers. So after some long thinking, I decided on this. In the universe of the X-Spiders, mutants sadly don't exist. But you're probably wondering, how would characters like Nightcrawler have their iconic looks? Well I decided to have this AU set in the distant future, at least several centuries from now. During that time, it would make sense that there would some physical changes to occur to the human race. I could imagine that would some type of genetic oddity developed during those centuries, causing some humans to appear….well, non-human. As for how the X-Men got their powers, first we got to discuss their standing in this world. X-Men initially ran a foster home for orphaned and abandoned children founded by Charles Xavier and Wolverine (who are longtime friends in this universe), particularly for those who were born with the genetic oddity. As for the powers. Well sometime ago, Oscorp created a species of genetically-modified spiders, with each one having their own unique abilities. But an accident caused to the spiders to get loose. And overtime, each of the X-Men would find themselves getting bitten by one of these spiders. Like how any normal person would react, the X-Men freaked out about their newfound powers and decided to hide them. But overtime, they found themselves in situations where they inadvertently used their powers, and as a result, helped someone in need. Because of this, the X-Men became superheroes and decided to use their newfound powers to help the people around them. Yeah…..their origin isn’t as shrouded in tragedy as Spidey’s.

-As for the X-Spiders themselves, the group consists of Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Beast, Rogue, Colossus, Iceman, Psylocke and Shadowcat. They all have the standard spider powers: superhuman physicality, the ability to stick to and scale any surface, Spider Sense, and the ability to shoot organic webbing from their wrists. What's unique about each X-Spider, apart from the fact they each have their own special powers, is that with some of them, their webbing is made up of different properties, to correspond with their powers.

-Cyclops (Scott Summers, 26, 6'2, 192 lbs, Scott Porter): As you would expect from him, he's the leader of the team. He was the very first kid taken in by Charles and Wolverine at age 8, alongside his younger brother Alex, after their parents died in a plane crash. Personality-wise, he's more like his iteration from X-Men Evolution, being far more outgoing and confident than most of his other iterations, while still being a disciplined and hardworking leader. His special power allows him to shoot ruby-colored beams of concussive force from his eyes. He can also combine the energy of his beams with his webbings, for an extra crunch. He's currently in relationship with Jean and when he's not doing hero-work, works as a DJ for a local radio station.

-Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett, Unknown, 5'4, 305 lbs, Steve Blum): The co-founder of the foster home and a longtime friend of Charles. Just like Cyclops, he's pretty similar to his X-Men Evolution iteration, being more laid back and a mentor to the kids. Out of all the X-Spiders, he has the best endurance and senses. His special power allows him to eject retractable bone claws from his knuckles. The bite also caused his entire skeleton to become coated in metal. He can also shoot metal webbing, which is very hard to cut through. When he's not doing hero-work, he works as a police officer.

-Storm (Ororo Munroe, 26, 5'11, 127 lbs, Danielle Nicolet): Found as an orphan on the streets of Kenya, she was taken in by Charles at age 10. Personality-wise, she's what you would expect from any version of Storm. Her special power allows her to generate bio-electricity from her body. She can also glide, shoot electrical webbing and even control her hair (which is BIG as HELL and in form of dreadlocks in this universe) as if they were spider legs. She's currently in a relationship with physician Donald Blake and when she's not doing hero-work, works as a meteorologist for the local news.

-Gambit (Remy LeBeau, 24, 6'3, 193 lbs, Troy Baker): Found as a thieving orphan on the streets of New Orleans, he was taken in by Charles at 13. Personality-wise, he's what you would expect from any version of Gambit. Out of all the X-Spiders, he's the fastest. His special power allows him to generate kinetic energy from his body and use it charge anything he touches. He can also shoot kinetic energy webbing. He's currently in a relationship with Rogue and when's not doing hero-work, he's working as a cook for a local Cajun restaurant.

-Jubilee (Jubilation Lee, 13, 5'0, 90 lbs, Haley Tju): Found living as thieving orphan in a Beverly Hills mall, she's the most recent addition to the family, having been taken by them just last year. Personality-wise, she's what you would expect from any version I of Jubilee. Her special powers allows her to shoot burst of energy that resemble fireworks. She's also able to shoot multicolored energy-charged webbing. When she's not doing hero-work, she's attending the local junior high school.

-Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner, 25, 5'9, 161 lbs, Liam O'Brien): Found as a homeless orphan in Germany, constantly on the run due to his demonic appearance, he was taken in by Xavier at age 9. Personality-wise, he's what you would expect from any version of Nightcrawler. And yes, he's still deeply religious. Out of all the X-Spiders, he's the most agile and flexible. His special power allows him to teleport. He can also become nearly invisible in shadows. He's currently in a relationship with fellow housemate Wren Worthington (a female) and when he's not doing hero-work, he works as a delivery boy for GrubHub.

-Jean Grey (26, 5'9, 122 lbs, Jennifer Hale): After her parents died in a car crash at age 9, she was taken into the foster home. Personality-wise, what you would expect from any version of Jean. Her special powers is telepathy and psionic energy manipulation. She can also glide like Storm and shoot psionic-energy webbing. She's currently in a relationship with Cyclops and when she's not doing hero-work, she works as a surgeon for the local hospital.

-Beast (Henry McCoy, 28, 6'6, 410 lbs, Fred Tatasciore): Abandoned at birth by parents due to his animalistic appearance and forced to live in the wild, he was found at age 11 and taken in by Charles. Personality-wise, what would you expect from any version of Beast. Just like Nightcrawler, he's the most agile and flexible of the X-Spiders, as well as the third strongest. His special power is a venomous bite that can paralyze his foes. He's currently in a relationship with S.W.O.R.D. agent Abigail Brand and when he's not doing hero-work, he works as a professor for the local university.

-Rogue (Marian Carlyle, 23, 5'9, 133 lbs, Melissa Disney): Having spent most of her life going from foster family to foster family, she eventually found herself at the X foster home around age 10. Personality-wise, what you would expect from the best versions of Rogue. Out of all the X-Spiders, she's the second strongest. Her special powers allows her to copy the powers and abilities of those around her. She can also climb like Storm and Jean. She's currently in a relationship with Gambit and when she's not doing hero-work, she's working on the local farms.

-Colossus (Piotr Rasputin, 22, 6'11/7'6, 265 lbs/505 lbs, Chris Cox): After his parents died due to illness, he, his older brother Mikhail, and his newborn sister Illyana, would find themselves out on the streets. They would eventually be found by Charles when Colossus was about 6. Personality-wise, what you would expect from any version of Colossus. Out of all the X-Spiders, he's the strongest. His special power allows him to convert his skin into organic steel, granting him even greater strength and durability. He can also shoot metallic webbing, similar to Wolverine. He's currently in a relationship with fellow housemate Emma Frost and when he's not doing hero-work, he's attending Empire State University, majoring in the arts.

-Iceman (Bobby Drake, 21, 5'8, 145 lbs, Robbie Daymond): After his parents died in a skiing accident at the age of 9, he and his younger brother Ronnie found themselves in the care of Xavier. Personality-wise, what you would expect from Iceman. His special power allowing himself to convert the moisture in the air into ice. He also has a strong resistance to freezing temperatures, can cover his entire body in ice, and shoots icy webbing. He's currently in a relationship with Johnny Storm and when he's not doing hero-work, he attends Empire State University, majoring in accounting.

-Psylocke (Betsy Braddock, 25, 5'11, 155 lbs, Grey Griffin): A Japanese girl who initially grew up in an abusive orphanage in England, Betsy ran away at age 14 and found her way to the states. There, she would be taken in by Charles. Personality-wise, she's a adventurous thrill-seeker with a witty attitude. Her special powers are telepathy and being able to create constructs out of psionic energy. She's also shoots psionic energy webbing just like Jean. When she's not doing hero-work, she's working as a martial arts instructor.

-Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde, 19, 5'7, 114 lbs, Danielle Judovits): After her parents were killed during a mugging at age 9, she found herself on the streets, with her only companion being her pet iguana Lockheed. She would eventually be found by Wolverine and brought into the home. Personality-wise, what you would expect from any version of Shadowcat. Her special power allows her to phase through most soldier objects. She's currently in a relationship with Doreen Green and when she's not doing hero-work, she attends training in order to become a firefighter.

Well that's all for now!

Let me know what you guys think about this AU idea and if you could, give me some ideas for some of the villains of this AU.

I'm most likely gonna make a part 2 to this and I want the villains of this AU to be a mashup between the X-Men villains and some of the iconic Spidey villains.

How can we mark Spidey’s 60th anniversary without recognizing his fathers!

AMAZING FANTASY

Though the world may mock Yu Kamori, the timid teenager, it will soon marvel at the Awesome Might of Spider-Man!!

I’ve been working on this fic idea for a while. My last Spider-Man fanfic ended up having some major issues that made me look back on the character and what I liked about him. And what makes Spider-Man one of the greatest heroes in fiction. And I found a lot of reasons, he’s funny (depending on who you ask), he’s got bad luck (well aside from his dating life) he takes care of street crime instead of just saving the world (Yeah, yeah, the avengers saved the planet from blowing up, but what have you done for me lately?) but I think most importantly?

Well.....I think it’s all important. There’s no one thing that makes Spidey such a good character, that’s why so many writers and artists have been able to take him in so many different directions over the years. I had this one idea of how Spider-Man should behave, how he should act based on how he did in my favorite eras of Spider-Man but that was too narrow, I needed to look at the whole thing. Every movie, every comic, every tv show, every interpretation that I could find.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while but I haven’t really committed to it, but that changes today on his 60th anniversary. I’m drafting up the first act, chapters, and everything up now while I’m also writing my Invincible fanfic. So it won’t be out anytime soon, but I figured since today is the webhead’s birthday? What better time to annnouce it?
