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.

18yo 

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).

Peter makes a push at work and manages to go full time at the Daily Bugle, he is a staff photographer and junior reporter.

Peter gets his own apartment and MJ treats it like they both own it but also lives at home and sometimes with Aunt May.

While in a subway with his uncle spray painting.. the dead remains of Peter's OSCorp spider falls in to his hood.. as the two are leaving Miles puts his hood up, the spider falls to in-between his shoulder blades at the same time his uncle pats him on the back for the artwork.. the spider's venom stings Miles. The last of the spider turns to dust.

Peter fights Kraven for the first time and Kraven almost kills Peter, leaving him with a broken rib cage that takes longer than normal to heal due to a poison Kraven made him breathe.

Morbius bites Peter, he becomes infected with the vampire virus, But due to the friendly way he left Doc Connors, he helps cure Peter.

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.

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.
