Parker could have sold his shit or used it as a basis for a job. Just as long as he didn’t plaster Spider’s on that shit no one would have assumed he was Spider-man.
He’s known in the SuperHero community and most of them worked for the government or own a company which would pay pretty fucking well, but he’s never asked or went for anything. Instead he’s Constantly broke while going “Spyder-man is SUFFERING! WHAT WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND MOM?”
btw what happened to the company that Doc ock made for parker? Did he fuck it up and cause it to go bankrupt?
In our own world someone Peter Parker’s intellect would be in the top 10 smartest people alive, but Parker at best is in the top 20 and assuredly in the bottom half of that. There are way to many mofos in the Marvel universe rocking multiple degrees, having million dollar companies and being either a hero or villain with their brains for it to be otherwise.
Stark kinda did that. When Peter joined the New Avengers Stark hooked Peter up with a luxury apartment in Stark Tower, made him his protege and made the Iron Spider costume for him. Did Peter still have his high school teaching gig at the time because I don’t remember. I do remember Aunt May hooking up with Jarvis though.
Peter will never truly be successful because the writers will always reset him back to the broke-ass superhero to keep him “relatable”.
Why did he start a company, create various inventions, and become a success recently? Because a supervillain body-jumped him and did those things. It’s the same with almost every comic character, come with an interesting dynamic that questions that particular character’s way of doing things, and have another writer come along to reset it all.
It’s only interesting if a good deal of those changes stick, but it loses steam the moment those changes are basically done away with. Peter gaining back control of his body is fine, but delve into him handling the company and being Spider-Man. Don’t have him giving that company up not too long after coming back.
Black Panther is an african booty scratcher who thinks that wearing his costume at night is any different than being butt naked. How is he one of the most intelligent people in Marvel when he doesn’t even realize that all he has to do is not smile and he’ll be invisible in the dark of night? Just think of bff Namor and he’ll never smile. It’s that simple!
