I wouldn't say the mad scientists types screw up worst of all. There's the times Thor has tried to take over the world, Legion trying to make the world better by changing the past, Onslaught, Dark Phoenix, Scarlet Witch's various things ...
There's probabaly some lesson here about having great power and needing to be responsible or something, but I can't think what it might be.
A newspaper refusing to change is definitely a dead end job, specially since Peter is paid only like a dollar for pictures.
True, but other jobs could work too, he seemed pretty happy when he was a teacher back in JMS' run at least, even if that can be considered a dead end job too lol.It's just none of Peter's science jobs have ever seemed interesting unless he's working for a Supervillain.
What the fuck? Was Stark trying to compete with Roxxon in having the scummiest company?
I mean, the League at times could talk in ways that sounds like they could become like the Justice Lords, and it's worth pointing out that having super gods with a nuke pointed at Earth, who don't answer to any government, is scary to put it lightly, even if it's obvious to point that out.
Ah yeah, sounds like something some hero says once in a while, a hero mentored by an older guy, I think it's Firestorm?
Yeah, pretty much, although I should take pains to mention that Stark's "moral inversion" in AXIS caused him to revert to the deeply amoral person he'd been before the events that led him to become Iron Man, only worse, since he had access to all the tech he'd developed since becoming Iron Man and no more qualms about using it to turn a profit. And yes, the DCAU Justice League becoming possibly no different from or better than their Justice Lord counterparts was a major point of JLU's Cadmus arc, not just with the Binary Fusion Generator that'd been mounted on the satellite Watchtower, but also dealing with Doomsday and Billy Batson/Captain Marvel quitting because, as he put it, "You don't act like heroes anymore." At least it ended better than Marvel's Civil War ultimately did.
Going to the subject of Peter's career, I wouldn't mind him having something combining the sciences and journalism. Something maybe like Renew Your Vows, using a VR-operated camera drone to record videos and take pictures of himself in action as Spider-Man, also usable to analyze things that he can't always handle or otherwise reach with his hands alone.
The spider is always on the hunt.
How about Peter working at the FEAST?
It could be a great place for Peter to help people about not just as Spider-Man, but also as Peter.
