Reboot One Spider-Man Character

[Vakanai]

Let's say Marvel wants you to reboot/retool just one Spider-Man character. Could be Spider-Man himself, one of his supporting cast, or a villain. Only caveat is you can't just change them back to be like they were in a previous run/era. So, who do you change, and how? Can only be one.

Why would DC do this?

That's what I'm wondering

Edit - I'd pick Betty Brant. She desperately needs to be made relevant. I'd expand on her journalism role. I'd make her the premier investigative reporter of the Marvel Universe. She would come to be involved with a small team of misfit heroes who travel around helping solve problems involving things the cops or PIs can't - think Scooby Doo meets Heroes for Hire.

The brotherhood of Wasps from Anya's title should be connected to the Wasp.

This is the question that we’re all asking.

It’s really tough to think about, and I’m not sure that I even really understand the question but I’m gonna pick Alpha and retool him into being a rival for Miles.

Damn it! Look, I created similar threads in the Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman subforums, and I copy pasted to save time. Sometimes you miss obvious errors taking short cuts like that.

It's fixed now.

Uncle Ben was the Big Man.

Uncle Ben was the Big Man.

How long would he be in the story?

How long would he be in the story?

He dies the same way he normally does but the burglar was actually an assassin and the debut of Spider-Man coincides with the biggest gang war in history as the Crime Master, Osborn, Kingpin, Tombstone, and Hammerhead compete for power, the Bugle becomes a last stand for distorted truth in the face of a media corrupted by lies, the conflict and appearance of Spider-Man starts a local genetic arms race that leads to creation of all of the villains, and Peter has to face the dark side of his father figure's legacy, the most powerful criminals ever to hit New York, and a grand conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of government, all while trying to live something resembling a life once Ben's secrets becomes public.

the original post was a joke but now I've got this whole pitch for it, cool
