on earth-4342, peter parker is a figure in the public eye. due to this, he forgoes the mask entirely in his universe.
he performs stunts under the stage name ‘JOHNNY KNOXVILLE’ and is a good few years into his career.
he was originally bitten by the spider during a stunt ; he —
— ended up getting bitten after having it disappear in his jacket after being put on his arm.
it was fairly easy for people to figure out early on that peter's spider-man, he used the abilities granted to him by the spider bite during several stunts. he still uses his webs for —
“red wedding was a shame, y'know?”
he gave a sympathetic shake of his head before snorting in amusement.
“dunno. some of them are pretty decent, y'know?.”
he reached out, tapping alfie's wrist.
“organic or webshooters?”
a twinkle appeared in his eyes. “ah, yes! he did say house stark. .” alfie smiled.
“weeeell. . . what’re old ass dudes gonna do against us? they’re slow. pfft, they can’t call themselves heroes. . .”
alfie shifted, trying to use his webs as super soakers.
“like house stark from game of thrones or something like that?”
fingers tap against the surface they're both sat on, gaze shifting to the other beside him.
“oh, yeah. other types of heroes in other universes. wizards, old ass guys, aliens, gods . . .”
he listed off.
— to find a comfortable position to sit in.
“it was pretty hectic getting used to this stuff. . . now i gotta get used to more spiderlings. . what’s next? different types of heroes?”
