Dava's Hitchhiker's Guide to a Condensed Spider-Man Timeline (non canon/Fanfic but done right!)..

Hi Spider-Fans!

---------------------

DISCLAIMER:

Firstly the writing here is going to be full of imaginations,
mis-rememberings, personal retcons fanfic and all sorts of shenanigans.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

----------------------------------

We follow Peter B (Ben) Parker.. ... As per the Into The Spider-Verse movie but expounded..

There are iirc (I don't know what the middle initial/name stands for)

Peter C Parker (happiest timeline)

Peter E Parker (?)

We follow Peter B Parker.. 

15yo  10 months.

On a school trip to OSCorp; a spider escapes and bites Peter Parker, he gains spider like powers.

 16yo

Peter wins the Reed Richards grant to attend St.John's Catholic University and he meets Dr Curtis Connors for the first time. A biology professor who convinces Peter he has cancer from the spider bite. Peter begins being a lab assistant to Doc Connors. He begins wrestling/fighting for money. He begins dating MJ. Harry Osborn meets Peter for the first time as he is flunking most his classes and Peter becomes his paid study buddy but after a few lessons, he begins to refuse money saying he will take payment in  sandwiches or pizza, this begins their friendship, as Peter is Harry's first 'real' friend who isn't interested in money. They quickly become best friends. 

(for more info see  Dava's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Clone Saga

After 2 months of wrestling a robber robs the wrestling business. The robber kills Uncle Ben. After chasing him down Peter snaps and kills the robber (a crime he is never prosecuted for) in an abandoned warehouse by throwing him out of a window.

Doc Connors takes Peters blood samples. Work continues on 'curing' Peter of his fake cancer.

The University Dean threatens to end Peter's studentship due to Peter excelling in all his classes and the grant not covering more than one degree. Norman Osborn buys St. John's University and renames it 'Empire State University'. Norman Osborne is a Nietzschean supremist. After Harry's mother died, Harry would only fake laugh. Norman heard Harry's genuine laugh for the first time when the boys would hang out. Norman somewhat adopts Peter.. tells Peter he will never have need for anything ever again.

17yo

Peter decides to become a superhero to honour Uncle Ben. He designs a costume and begins wearing it and helping around Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. 

Without Uncle Ben Aunt May is often easily sick.. she has a sadness in her heart without him. She begins to struggle financially. Peter gets a job with his second cousins at 'Famous Joes Pizza;.. Joe is his great grandfather. (see Peter's Genealogy at the bottom)

Peter is a very bad pizza delivery guy.. but because he is family Famous Joes keeps him on for 8 months, this caused them to nearly go bankrupt. Only alleviated when Peter was finally fired.

Peter begins his job at the Daily Bugle as a freelance photographer. 

MJ gets abducted by Green Goblin who tries to throw her off the Brooklyn Bridge, but Peter catches her in time. Peter and MJ have a fight and break up. Peter begins dating Gwen Stacy. Gwen falls for Peter hard, Peter is lukewarm, Gwen's father is a police captain, he becomes suspicious of Peters lies/excuses and thinks Peter is cheating on Gwen. Green Goblin abducts Gwen, then throws her off the Brooklyn bridge, this time successfully killing Peter Parker's GF (Peter's web caught her in time so she didn't hit the ground, but her neck snapped from the velocity of the fall).

After Gwen's death, Peter and Cpt. Stacy have a kind of bonding moment at Gwen's funeral, Peter feels guilty as he was going to break up with Gwen before she died, he says nothing to Cpt. Stacy even though Cpt. Stacy is pouring his heart out about Gwen.This crushes Peter all the more. But coldly he still says nothing.

Two weeks before Peters 18th birthday the Clone Saga starts.

The Clone Saga takes up the whole year, near the end, as the Clone Saga is wrapping up Peter joins The Avengers. Peters finds out Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin. As Spider-Man Peter kills the Green Goblin during a fight.

Aunt May gets seriously sick, she breaks her hip and needs surgery. MJ looks after her, visiting her in hospital and when she comes home. This cements Peter and MJ as a couple. They talk about marriage, but MJ isn't keen as she says about her family and how poor they were and how Peter doesn't earn enough money, she loves him enough to marry him, but his salary isn't enough to provide for them if she gets pregnant.

MJ is a talented artist. She starts evening classes at community college for a Higher Art Diploma (hoping she can turn it into a degree with a scholarship).

The Sinister Six Saga takes up the reminder of the next two years.

27yo

Capt Stacy finds out about Peter. He is partially retired, in a wheelchair, but runs Peter over in his car and shoots him twice in the chest.

The police arrest Capt. Stacy and even though he reveals Peters identity as Spider-Man they see him as mentally unstable due to Gwen's death.

28yo 

MJ gets pregnant.. they have a scan and find out its a girl, they call her 'Penny'.. this is a split in the timeline.. one way we get Penny May Parker for Peter C Parker.. but for Peter B.. MJ loses the baby via a miscarriage. Peter is destroyed inside. He cocoons himself in the old apartment and after three days MJ comes and finds him.. she comes again three days later but nothing has changed.. on the night of the 7th day Peter emerges.. and acts like nothing happened, like before the pregnancy.

29yo

Peter and MJ's marriage breaks down.. MJ suggests fertility treatment for a second child, but Peter ignores her.. Like she didn't even say it.

Aunt May has a stroke, MJ looks after her but Peter barely visits her and instead throws himself into being Spider-Man.

Peter has a meltdown.. a mental break.. he throws a table at MJ while they are at home. He calls Ben Reilly and asks him to come back to NYC and take over the mantle of Spider-Man, which Ben does for the remaining year.

30yo

MJ files for a divorce. Peter moves into the old apartment.

Peter meets Miles for the first time. Miles's spider bite didn't kick in until he hit puberty the previous year. Peter tries to be a father figure to Miles.

Peter looks into cloning technology to clone the first child and starts Parker Tech. He becomes obsessed with alternate dimensions and cloning her believing it can bring MJ back.

Ben tries to force Peter to take the mantle back, but Peter refuses. Ben eventually just leaves and returns to Chicago.

Peter gets back close to the Avengers and tries to learn as much as he can from Tony Stark.

Kaine takes over as Spider-Man without Peters consent.. but Peter doesn't really care.

31yo

Peter's company takes off attracting the attention of Harry Osborne, who Peter hasn't spoken to in many years. On the same day Parker Tech goes global, they have an argument about Peter's DNA and who owns what.. since the spider was OSCorp property.

This relapses Harry back in to the Hobgoblin.

A few hours later they fight. Harry is not as fit as he once was and Peter unaware of this.. during the fight Peter accidentally kills Harry by beating him to death on a garbage scow.

Peter is freaked out but escapes in to the Spider-Verse. He goes looking for alternate reality Penny so he can clone her.

A reformed Doctor Octavius takes over Parker Tech in Peter's absence.

Kaine Spider-Man almost dies. Dr. Octavius takes up the mantle.  

35yo

Peter returns and MJ gets in contact with him. He tells her the full story and tells her he couldn't find another Penny. This is a lie. He has her DNA in a secure location.

MJ owns her own studio. it is very successful.

They talk about giving it another go and so long as Peter takes fertility seriously, they could in the future have another child.

Editorial

I think that's enough for now.. been writing this for many hours over many days, could use a publish and a break :)

Peter's Genealogy 

Peter is Catholic as he is from a mostly Irish Catholic background, except some of his father's family who are English Anglican. I see him as Irish-English with a little bit of Scots and Italian. Scottish maternal grandmother, Italian paternal great grandfather.

I imagine Peter's Family tree something like this:

Fitzpatrick

                William 'Jack' Fitzpatrick (Irish)                             Moira McKay (Scottish)
                                                             
                                                        Mary Fitzpatrick (Scots-Irish)
                                                            
                                                            (Mother of Peter Parker)


Parker

             Col.N. Hammond-Parker (Eng) -Vi O'Dell (Irish)              Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli (italian)        Mary Maguire (Irish)
                   Major.Tate Parker (English-Irish)                                                      Allanya 'Ally' Pozzuoli (Italian-Irish)

                                                                                         Richard Parker

                                                                                   (Father of Peter Parker)



Full disclosure; I just made 80% of that up. But I feel I was true to the sentiment of Peters history. Although Peters parents names and his maternal grandfathers are correct. I make allusion to..Joe's Pizza, known as Peter Parker's first job before he joined the Bugle. So I made his great grandfather Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli (the original 'Joe' of Joe's Pizzas). The star of the 1970s Spider-Man TV show was actor Nicholas Hammond, whose father was a colonel and is from a mostly English background.
I searched and searched for irish actor names in connection with Spider-Man. I could only find Maguire (Tobey Maguire) which I have now added. 

May Reilly is the wife of Peter's Father's older brother Ben Parker. (May Parker)

Additional Notes

WHAT IF.. What if, Leopold Fitz is second cousins with Peter Parker? What if Alistair Fitz had changed his name because he hated his father? Imagine..  this: A very young and married, with young child (Alister) at home,  William Jack Fitzpatrick stationed in Ceuta as Military Police, as a prank and for arresting a friend of theirs, some soldiers drug him and sign him up for the French Foreign Legion on the Algerian border.. two years later he returns home to Glasgow  to find out his wife and child have disappeared.. distraught he moves to America to stay with a cousin in NYC.. he meets a woman on the flight over, her name is Moira McKay. The two date for six months, fall in love and she falls pregnant, they marry but she dies in childbirth. Peter as a young boy (10yo) finds his 'Granny' McKay's journals.. 20 journals detailing her life.. he cries as he reads them, as his grandfather would never speak of Moira as it was too painful for him. Alister never finds out why his father abandoned him.. bitter he changes his name, hoping that his father wouldn't be able to find him, but leaving the possibility.. if his father was smart enough, determined enough, would get the connection of 'Fitz'.

I made his maternal Grandmother Scottish.. Peter later in life is known as a great inventor, and as it is known Scots 'Invented the modern World'.. 

The Telephone, The Television, The Refrigerator, Anesthetic, Road Foundation, The Pneumatic Tyre, The Pedal Bicycle, The Stirling Engine.. now repurposed 200 years later for deep space probes*, Print Stereotyping, Roller Printing, Logarithms, Modern Economics, The Decimal Point, Insulin, The Electric Toaster, The Flushing Toilet, The Electric Clock, First Automated Can Filling Machine, The Ghillie Suit, The ATM & PIN, Making Cast Steel from Wrought Iron, Tubular Steel, Discovering The Laws of Electrodynamics..

I myself am Scots.. it would have been nice to have one 'rogue clone' that just left.. I have done a series of Fanfic comic stories based in Europe in the time of Kobik. Complete 6 Episode arc :)

See here:

Episode 1: Euro-Avengers - Assemble!
Episode 2: Euro-Avengers 'Matter of Opinion'
Episode 3 : Euro-Avengers 'I Reality Love You'
Episode 4: Euro-Avengers 'Another Day in Paradise'
Episode 5: Euro-Avengers 'What a Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practise to Perceive.." + BONUS 'Exposition Theater'
Episode 6 : Euro-Avengers 'BOSS FIGHT!'


The 'Scottish Spider-Man'.. Widow Spider because he was the clone widowed from his life.. he feels ultimate resentment to Doc Connors, left for Scotland after the Jackal had done terrible things abominable clones of unimaginable horror .. If Scarlet Spider got Peter's darker traits (but retained Peters sense of humor).. 'Alan' got Peters anger and suspicion. And as we know.. when Peter 'loses it' his anger can be.. hulk-like.

The Legendary Movie: Primer.. how I remember it different ways..

 Hi

This is a weird one.. I don't know if there were different edits for different regions.. but more likely I either dreamt other versions or am misremembering/imaginations multiple times.. or both.

Version 1a

Everything is the same up until the mold.. which for quickness I'll call the 'mold junction'.

It takes Aaron and Abe ages to get funding.. up to 2 years. The storage unit happens as does them both going in and out.

This is pretty vanila from the last time I watched it. Aaron either betrays Abe or doesn't at the end.

Version 1.b

Mold junction. change is when they are at the funding party and Aaron's' wife suggests her father as an investor. Storage unit.

Unlike in 1a the couples vibe is a bit more stressed. She complains Aaron isn't looking after the children.

Her father thinks Aaron is cheating and begins stalking him..Aaron pulls over in the car and takes out a gun from the glove box.. a shadow falls over the back of the car he gets out and shoots his father in law thinking it is a doppelganger come to kill him. He dumps the body on his father in laws lawn.

We have a scene where he is wracked with guilt .. he keeps going in to a daze.. he talks to Abe about going back and fixing it.. Abe strongly advises against doing that.. Aaron agrees but this is a lie. Also he knows its only a short time before the police work everything out.

This is where Version 2 split happens..

but for 1b... Abe catches him before he stops his father in law and the two watch the events from a distance in another car Abe rented.

The movie ends with both of them catching a flight to Las Vegas planning to make millions. (after the party we learned that Abe had broken up with his then GF)

Version 2a

Version 2's are about time doppelgangers.. Aaron and Abe were bold enough to test a paradox. They decide to interact/kill their other younger selves. 

Abe chases Aaron's father in law away from the scene hoping he won't die this time.. a second Abe is chasing a second Aaron through back gardens.. Abe 2 comes around a corner and Aaron hits him with a shovel hoping to knock him out but instead kills him.

Aaron 2 goes home packs a bag and goes to the airport. sitting at the airport we see him before his boarding call and he gets on the flight. (we don't see that but an air stewardess checks his ticket.. she is blond and pretty) the movie ends with the airport noises getting louder and louder.

Version 2b

Aaron sees multiple Abes and him-selves around the car running past shouting. Abe covered in blood at the car and scares Aaron before he kills his father in law.

Version 2c

As 1b and 2a.. at the end though As 1b except Aarons wife leaves him due to all the fighting. The ending is; Aaron sitting alone at the airport.. and her coming to the airport and forgiving Aaron and taking him home. she lifts his brown leather bag and they kiss. (she doesn't';t know Aaron had killed her father)

Version 3 is about cheating..

Version 3a

mold junction. post party and storage unit. low tension between Aaron and his wife although Aaron wonders.. is it cheating if he goes back in time.. and there is no way she could prove it.

Aaron goes to a bar. picks up a woman. they go to a hotel room.

When he comes home, his wife is very kind and cares about him and was worried about him. Aaron goes in and hugs one the children, kisses them on the forehead and talks casually to them before bed.

Aaron later confesses this adultery to his wife and tells her about the time travel.. she is surprisingly chilled about it..

At work the next day Aaron tells Abe of these events. Abe is intrigued by the thought of this..Abe decides to try to tempt Aarons wife. after three failed attempts he goes back to the night of the party.. they begin an affair.

Version 4

Last and darkest timeline 

mold junction. storage unit.

The duo return to the storage unit after the lotto day. Abe is in the storage unit dead. seems he has been dead for three weeks.

The duo decide to investigate.. they also have a time machine.

We flick back to lotto day. The duo go to the storage unit and everything is normal. As the second duo is leaving the first duo see a third older duo taking a body loaded indian rug and take it into the building.

The duo go to Aaron's home. Aaron's wife makes them all food including the children.

The duo discuss the body. They discuss paradoxes.

The turn of events is very complicated to describe.. but the OG Abe had decided to kill all the other past doppelgangers after Aaron betrayed him.. he then died of natural causes in the storage unit. Which begins the cycle again. 

STEALER Project (Fanfic I wrote for the game back in 2012/2013)

 



i wrote a story for this a while ago.. just want to share. peace. Dava ------- Stealer project Hi  I caught your vid, amazed by your art & ShinnyMetals music. You kinda inspired me, if you will indulge me ..can I tell you a story..? in a flash I had the full Story of Stealer in my head, but y'know I'm not the writer, so relax, sit back, and please enjoy my story.. 2997, the solar system is heavily populated, ..over populated. One governmental regime rules the entire solar worlds.. they are neither a good nor bad regime, they are neither big brother nor utopian, they lack the spark that is in every human soul, and they work to work to work and every one who is born is taught from birth, 'do not be careless with resources' and on bill boards 'if leaf falls and you do not catch it.. someone dies..' We join our hero.. anti-hero..anti-villain... 'Stealer' he works in data processing in the 'Docks', the main ship port for his planet.moon.. we will never learn the name of this place, this is to keep the 'theme' of anonymity.. his best friend is 'Thief', they work in neighbouring departments, and have been friends since childhood. The Regime has been desperately trying to research faster than light travel, of which they have made 5 ships, so the people can spread out and the population can grow as 'normal', the Regime have not 'banned' childbirth but everyone knows there in that world is good reason not use resources that could save an already established life. it is social rather than law, but everyone wants children.. ref:@ 0:21 Stealer is working when he sees some VERY interesting data, it is about the new faster than light ships, the Regime has poured an entire solar systems wealth in to these ships.. and Stealer sees..The.. access..code.   ref: @ 0:56 seconds He is confused and doesn't know what to do, he wrestles his conscience.. but ultimately.. he knows he needs to leave.. he goes to 'Thief' and tells them he knows one of the ships access codes.. this is a lie ..he knows three. in the next few moments of conversation, we have a choice, that if we picked 'co-op' at the title screen, Thief is persuaded to leave.. but if we picked 'single player' Thief now is our enemy, and will do anything to get to the ship before Stealer, including killing Stealer.  While the people of this world are human they are not like us.. they are born and immediately put in to 'bio-suits' cybernetic suits that can both digitize matter and create metal body parts at will..only explosions of great magnitude or de-digitization can kill the people of this world...Thief works in internal data affairs.. and has access to such technology. for the player who picked co-op this works as a great advantage, as Thief has access to weapon tech and Stealer does not, but Stealer is a Master with computer and can hack doors, find quick routes..maybe even steal a ship.. So if in single player.. we have a race between Stealer and Thief who will get to and steal one of the ships first. They fight and Stealer loses, Thief is very strong, and a good tactician, using a 'de-digitizer weapon on Stealer and leaves him for dead.. ref: 1:31  in my mind I see a scene where, While Stealer is being de-digitized, he hacks the deconstructor weapon with his mind and forces it to reconstruct him... then teleport him. ref: @ 1:11  The teleport went well, he is in the sub-docking port, only 5 levels away from the Deck. but there he meets his female cousin 'Forget', she is maintenance supervisor for this level.. she is 'Grade 9' super genius level, Stealer is a gifted level 6, but he has 'sparks' of level 9 in him... it was his cousin who got him the job at the Docks. He needs to know things like capacity/light drive speed/system counts so he can work out how many people where supposed to crew this vessel, to fly this ship solo. What ship systems are working and online and can be set to configure automatically.. but he has to ask..her. He asks Forget casually about the ships, seeing she is already suspicious, but has to ask. She tells him the information, but asks in return, why he is here asking about the ships.. she has 1000 people under her command.. if he had access to the ships..she would like to know. NO-ONE of the staff have been inside the ships..she would like to as she puts it bluntly 'escape' too. in moment of panic and guilt he confesses he has one of the access code.. she bluntly asks for it .. he knows he shouldn't but he is afraid and confused for a second and blurts out the code. she replies meet me here in 1 hour. Stealer agrees..this is a lie.. he has no intention of doing so. he is going to leave as soon as he can get to the ship, this ship is called, 'Remember'. Stealer goes to the access panel, opens a door and enters, but once in we find Thief, they talk, Thief is shocked Stealer is still alive. they fight, Stealer is losing again but as he is losing Forget launches the ship Remember, time has passed quickly, she did not lie. Thief becomes incensed with confusion and rage, and mounts a nearby Auto Cannon and fires on 'Remember' exploding it into a thousand bits. one for each person on that ship.. Forget had took her whole crew of a Thousand people. Thief did not know any of this, but Stealer knew. Stealer escapes in the commotion and emotion of Thief's actions. ref: 1:23 and 1:39 access panel, 1:44 stealer watching the ship 'Remember' explode. After Thief stops crying, sitting on the auto cannon.. Thief wonders.. 'why is Stealer running? why did Stealer leave via a door that leads..UP!' Thief realizes Stealer has another way to get a ship! and Thief pursues Stealer again.. the final battle... Thief confronts Stealer at the door of the second ship which is called 'Betrayal'.. Thief says 'I knew YOU could LEAVE me you selfish PIG!' Thief takes of their biomask, and Thief is ..female.. they had been friends since childhood.. but never lovers.. they wanted to be so very badly.. but they knew it would risk peoples lives.. Stealer hacks the terminal quickly, blocking the access bay door.. and stopping Thief from stopping him.. he boards the ship.. and we see Thief is in tears.. as we leave her.. seeing her crying through the Dock port door. ref: @ 0:41 seconds Once Stealer has left the solar system.. he sends Thief the code for the last ship..the ship is called 'Trust' with a message join him.. if she won't kill him.. ref: 0:32 [Fade out] the gameplay understandably is missing but its just a what I was thinking watching you vid. anyway I've written enough.. hehe. Good luck with your project and thanks for reading my story. Peace Dava Sent to: Winged Doom 12/06/12 ------- the theme being anonymity.. the people of the solar system are often anonymous only because there are so very many people now. all the names are changed from 'real' names.


Star Wars Outlaws.. a review.. (TL:DR Warning)

 Hi After wringing 125+ hours out of Outlaws.. I find myself.. satisfied with my experience. With a few caveats.. The Good Mostly the experi...
