Create your own Spider-verse Spidey...

[Huntsman Spider]

I'm surprised there isn't a "Red Hulk" version of Spider-Man with Jameson. It's such an easy (if a bit too easy) scenario to write.

Happened already in Spider-Island, though a good "What If?" would be where he had to keep his spider-powers and decided to use them to "bring Spider-Man to justice."

... how about reversing the roles of Peter and Cindy? She gets bitten first, Peter second, then Peter gets spirited away for ___ years, while Cindy becomes, well, "Spider-Woman" (or Silk-Woman? Web-Woman?), and eventually meets most of the principal spider-villains over the years. Not sure if she would have an entirely different supporting cast, though, she seemed to be off the radar of Pete's core circle of friends and frienemies. Since nobody even noticed that she went missing over the years.

Would be an interesting "What If?"

One of Spider-Man's alter-ego's from "Identity Crisis" taking to the foray, though I think that may have happened with Cyborg Spider-Man.

Up and coming reporter Eddie Brock is bitten by a radioactive spider while covering a science exhibit for the Daily Bugle and becomes Spider-man. Years later, underachiever, embittered and bullied Peter Parker, his spot on the Bugle taken by Brock, bonds with a symbiote and becomes Venom.

I don't think Peter needs to have a job at DB to be Venom, he could be just a angry bullied teen who wants revenge on the kids at school and the symbiote pulls out those dark repressed rage issues and out comes Venom and then later Uncle Ben dies sending Peter over the edge which spawns Carnage who lashes onto creepy teen Cletus.

Well if you wanted to go completely darker. The bullied Peter Parker actually gets Carnage.

Along the same lines: No Mary Jane in Amazing 122. Peter murders Norman Osborn and with nothing to live for, becomes Frank Castle with super powers.

No, it makes sense with Peter as Venom because Peter and Eddie are switching with Peter as the sympathetic villain who could go on to become Anti-Venom.

Just call him "Pete".
Sure, with great power comes great responsibility, but Pete did his time. He served two tours during the Infinity Wars. He's seen and did things he doesn't want to think about anymore. These superhero wars change a man. Let some of the young bucks be a hero. These days, Pete would rather kick back with a beer, listen to some tunes, and chill. I mean, sure if he sees something, he's going to help, but his costumed crime fighting days are over. Even if they weren't, he's put on a few pounds so the old costume might not fit that well anymore. And the mask certainly isn't going to fit over his long hair and beard.

A Peter who never lost his Other powers or found another method of getting stronger without having to resort to using tech.
