But maybe Uncle Ben doesn’t have those tools. Aunt May would be all up in Peter’s face in the wake of tragedy, never letting him spiral the way we see him spiral here. And I think there can be a distance between men that would feed into Peter’s isolation. I felt like we’d seen the death of Uncle Ben so many times, that to take Aunt May from him would feel like a fresh hell for Pete to have to endure. Similarly, part of what makes Peter Peter is that hole in his life, the crater left by the loss of a loved one. One of the biggest changes to Peter’s origins is the death of his Aunt May before his Uncle Ben. The effects on Peter from the deviation of the timeline needed to feel small at first, but as time went on, those effects would deepen. He’s still that crazy-smart kid from Queens who still has problems with bullies and is still sweet on the girl next door. Yeah, it was very important for the Peter we meet at the beginning of The Amazing Shutterbug be a Peter we can all recognize. Was it important for you to keep that innovative aspect of Peter Parker alive even in this alternate take? I love that despite having no powers, Peter is still a very optimistic and intelligent character at the beginning of The Amazing Shutterbug, even creating little “spider drones” to help with work. Editor Devin Lewis had hired me to write an American Kaiju story for their “King in Black Venom” event and I guess I didn’t crap the bed too badly, because he reached out right on the heels of that to see if I wanted to take a swing at a spider-less Spidey. So first, I have to ask, tell us a little about how this story came to be? What events transpired that led to you writing essentially an alternate telling of Peter Parker’s origins?īernardin: The events are pretty simple, really.

Thankfully, we’ve got your answers right here. This is a huge change in Peter’s life, and the question soon becomes what Peter’s life would be like if he never received that fateful spider bite. Fantastic, and yes, Peter Parker never became Spider-Man.

That question has been answered in the pages of The Amazing Shutterbug #1, a one-shot connected to Marvel’s new Heroes Reborn initiative. But what happens when you don’t have great power anymore? What would Peter Parker do if he never became Spider-Man? The line has been a major part of Peter Parker’s life for years, guiding the troubled hero through his hardest moments and reminding him why he dons the suit every day. While it didn’t originate in comics, it was the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man that solidified the adage, transforming it into one of the most iconic comic book lines of all time.Įven if you haven’t ingested a single piece of Spidey content, the famous line tied heavily to Pete’s Uncle Ben has probably been ingrained in your memory by now.
