Jerusalem posted:The company/money was made when Doc Ock was occupying his body right? I choose to believe with all my heart that Peter just has no idea how to run "his" company and is bumbling his way along while his board of directors keeps everything going in spite of him What would Newspaper Superior Spider-Man be like?

Otherkinsey Scale posted:What would Newspaper Superior Spider-Man be like? Doc Ock knocks Spidey over with a golden brick and assumes him dead. MJ keeps him at, idk, Doctor Strange's place until he can heal. In the meantime, Ock has put on a holographic doohickey to pretend he is Spider-man and opens up a computer repair store under Spidey's name, earns 100 and then gets beaten up by the real Spider-man who now owns this store. Every single strip of this six-month storyline must contain a panel of Peter sleeping while MJ, Strange and/or Wong watch over him.

I think Superior Newspaper Spider-Man would be the same except stories would resolve faster. Blazingly fast, like in one week. And it would feel wrong and people would clamour for the return of the one, true hero.

Instead of Doc Ock, NSM's "Superior" Spider-Man will be J Jonah Jameson. Naturally he will never think to unmask himself while in Pete's body but set out stalking JJ's body to figure out who Spider-Man really is.

RIP Lergnom. (this is probably way way way back in NSM's history. I havent seen Lergnom appear anytime in the last decade so they probably forgot he existed.  )

I personally thought Peter as a science teacher at a public school was the best possible status quo for him. No prestige there, not the best of salaries, but it's a reliable source of income, an "adult" kind of job and it feels like he's making a difference in the world. Pete's just never going to be a teenager again no matter how much Joe Q. wants him to, so he should be an adult we can relate to. Not some kinda embarrassing unemployed manchild or jet-setting billionaire.

Honestly, I think the best job Peter ever had was also as a teacher, but for the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, with the more troubled students. He seemed to be in his element, teaching kids lessons, but also how to be better people, and also still going on adventures. Spider-Man and the X-Men was really, really good.

That is really fun, but it's more of a Spider-man thing than a Peter thing. It's not quite grounded enough to balance out the heroics, you know?

He shouldn't be bestriding the world like a colossus in his civilian life, he should just be doing an important if largely "ordinary" job that actually does make some measurable difference in the lives of the students who he teaches. Making him a world famous multi-millionaire CEO just misses a lot of the point of the character to me - he's a guy who goes out there and tries his best to help people whether he's Peter Parker or Spider-Man.

I only ever saw a few panels of Peter Parker as a public school teacher years ago, but they stayed with me as an ideal for the character. He's a dorky guy who wants to help! Of course he'd leave photojournalism for teaching!

Of course he'd leave photojournalism for teaching! Any job where Peter has to keep to a rigid schedule and has any real responsibility is the worst possible choice for him. Being a teacher provided fun stories at times but it never made sense to me why he would ever think that was a good idea in any way because it definitely wasn't.

It makes as much sense as any job does. If you have to ask how the timing works out it's basically the same as any hero with a job and for Spider-Man "a job with real responsibility' is absolutely the best choice for the dude who doesn't shut up about power and the responsibility it carries.

Peter could run a repair shop. Keeps him tinkering rather than Tony Stark-style inventing, makes the community a supporting cast, and leaves him with time and cover to be gone when he wants assuming he has partners or employees to run the shop in his stead. And it means he gets decent money rather than playboy riches or hobo destitution. May could be the cashier. Or Hobie Brown could be his business partner. You could even include a retcon and say Uncle Ben used to run one (before he was an electrician or whatever his job was...?) And there'd be all kinds of interesting comic book science stuff for him to solve. Like people's refrigerators are floating because of some recent supervillain in the area who  discharged focused gravitons or whatever.
