Pairing a Spider-Person with each Fantastic Four member

[Ravin' Ray]

I thought about this as I read Superior Spider-Man which sadly will end soon, and mentioned this in passing in Anya Corazon's thread. We've seen a little bit of interaction between Otto Octavius (as Elliot Tolliver) and Reed Richards, and I would like to see them develop a (grudging?) respect for each other's scientific achievements. If they can overlook any personality issues, and if Otto keeps his current body and SSM identity, this would be an interesting dynamic to visit from time to time.

Everyone's familiar with the legendary bromance between Peter and Johnny. Then we have the maternal relationship between Sue and Anya, which I want writers to revisit. So that leaves out Ben. Who among the 616 Spider-People could he bond with. Miles? If so, how would it happen?

(I'm deliberately excluding a pairing between a specific Spider-Person and a specific substitute FF member that's being shipped for years. Focusing on the original FF here.)

Kaine Parker and Ben Grim
Sue Richards and Ben Reilly
Franklin Richards and Miles Morales
Reed Richards and Spider-Man 2099
Valeria Richards and Julia Carpenter

[Güicho]

I'd pair them like this

The Spider-Fource:

Peter Parker and Johnny Storm
2099 (Miguel O'hara) and Reed Richards
Anya Sofia Corazon and Sue Storm
Eddie Brock (venom) and Ben Grim

Miles Morales and Franklin Richards

The FF relationship seems like something that's so intrinsically tied to Peter that I'm not sure the other Spiders need Spider-Connections...but with that said:

Johnny went on a date with Cindy/Silk.

I could see Sue being a good and positive influence on Gwen. Gwen is kind of a hot mess and her personality so different that it would be interesting to see what kind of effect Sue might have on her.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, it would make sense for Anya to put them in touch with each other.

Heck, it'd be interesting to see Gwen interact with the F4 in any capacity. The team doesn't even exist in her world. She's only met Reed, who's a kid and doesn't know the others.

[Spider-Chan]

I could see Kaine and Ben bonding. Both have similar tragic backstories about how they came to be. And as meanwhile Ben has learned and accepted who he is, Kaine is someone who still has problems about accepting himself.

[Grim Fandango]

Sue and Reed should adopt ultimate Jessica Drew.

[Scott Taylor]

I know Peter and Johnny are bros, but it would make sense for me to see Peter have a relationship with Sue. Similar to what he has with Betty these days.

Other than that:

Franklin - Cindy
Reed - Ben Reilly (I just got a hunch it would work)
Ben Grimm - Kaine or Gwen

[Huntsman Spider]

If Franklin's in there, what about Valeria? Personally, I'd go with Anna-May "Annie" Parker from Renew Your Vows. Still a huge missed opportunity for me that the Fantastic Four didn't appear there.

I'd pair them like this

The Spider-Fource:

Peter Parker and Johnny Storm
2099 (Miguel O'hara) and Reed Richards
Anya Sofia Corazon and Sue Storm
Eddie Brock (venom) and Ben Grim

Miles Morales and Franklin Richards

I like your pairings, it's very similar to my own:

Reed/Octavius
Sue/Anya
Ben/Venom (Brock)
Johnny/Ultimate Spider-Woman

Franklin & Valeria/Annie & Mayday
Wyatt Wingfoot/Agent Venom (Flash)
Roberta/Miguel O'Hara
Willie Lumpkin/Madame Web

If Franklin's in there, what about Valeria? Personally, I'd go with Anna-May "Annie" Parker from Renew Your Vows. Still a huge missed opportunity for me that the Fantastic Four didn't appear there.

Agreed. And I'm glad you mentioned both Valeria & Annie, I added them to my own pairings.

Sue and Reed should adopt ultimate Jessica Drew.

To the utmost, I agree. Just seeing Johnny's reaction towards her would be priceless (LOL).

[K7P5V]

I know Peter and Johnny are bros, but it would make sense for me to see Peter have a relationship with Sue. Similar to what he has with Betty these days.

Agreed. Untold Tales of Spider-Man Annual (1996) is my all-time favorite:

Other than that:

Franklin - Cindy
Reed - Ben Reilly (I just got a hunch it would work)
Ben Grimm - Kaine or Gwen

Franklin definitely needs more female friends.

Umm

Ben Grimm and Ben Reilly

obvs.

Been kind of hoping for Miles to have a teamup with Franklin and Valeria.

The ONLY Spider-Man I read is Spider-Man, 616 Peter Parker, and my favorite of the Fantastic Four is Benjamin J Grimm, so:

Spider-Man & Thing.
