For my Cap-IM Bingo square “art format: parody of a famous painting”. I chose The Astronomer by Johannes Vermeer (1668) because I love the Dutch Golden Age :)

The Spider-Man Noir show will follow “an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City” and “the main character will not be Peter Parker.”

Imagine a Phantom of the Opera style opening with an older White Widow/Felicia Hardy of Earth-90214 recounting the story of Spider-Man Noir through her perspective???

Introducing:

The Mistress -- A Spider-man Noir Mystery

I am [finally] releasing the Peter Benjamin Parker I Spider-man Noir fanfic story I have been toying with over the last 7 months.

Summary:

This is an original story set in Earth-90214, at the heart of New York city 1933. Peter Parker/Spider-man Noir. Peter is invited to the bar his friend Charlie has been running after the recent growth of his establishment after prohibition had been lifted. Upon meeting with Charlie, he learns of a plot wherein the wealthiest man in New York, owner of the bank on main street, aims to take the business away from Charlie. That same night, he meets a dame by the name of Evelyn AuClair, a French heiress sent to marry that same wealthy business man.

Can Peter Parker/Spider-man Noir save his best friend's business? Can he rescue the beautiful dame from her destined and cruel fate? Is she really all who she says she is?

Here are the long form WIPs I have going on in 2023:

- Humanity (X6-88 x Sole Survivor x Deacon) - Nick Valentine rescue/thriller piece - The Mistress -- A Spider-man Noir Mystery I did have the Thane Krios x FemShep fanfic I was writing last year, but I'm just not very motivated to finish it currently.

into the noir verse

Fun fact for people who might not know this: Spider Noir is canonically weaker than most versions of Spider-Man.

It’s pretty well known at this point that Spider-Man holds back during fights because he doesn’t actually want to seriously hurt or kill anyone. Noir is a little less inclined to that particular aspect of Spider-Man, so naturally the man really isn’t holding back. He goes 100% every fight and will still sometimes get his ass handed to him. He is almost constantly in kill or be killed survival mode. This is also part of the reason why he wears bullet proofing, wears all black, has weapons like guns, and goes for more of a stealth approach.

Baby is 𝙁𝙐𝙇𝙇 of rage.

I'm convinced that he has a lot of difficulty managing his anger issues. Reading between the pages several times I got sick, it must have been so difficult to hold back such a great anger that consumes you from within. The fact that Noir is driven by so much resentment that, as soon as he got his powers, he immediately went on the attack, without thinking about anything else, makes me shiver. How his youth prompted him to be dismissive of danger, so much so that he directly challenged it.

Baby suffered too much, I would recommend to him excellent painkillers for the stomach (stress gastritis are the worst).

I dont know if I’ve ever discussed this particular head-canon so I’m gonna do it now. As always I love to hear thoughts on my theories so don’t be afraid of reblogging with tags and the comment section!

I don’t think spider noir goes by the name Peter Parker in his universe, I think he goes by Benjamin Urich.

NOW LET ME EXPLAIN

It’s not just convenient to have a different name than Peter Parker meta wise for distinguishing the different universe’s Parkers, I have actual reasoning. But first we have to talk about universe 90214 Ben Urich, the original. (This is going to b very generalized)

This version of Urich is an investigative reporter, who was really good at his job. So good in fact he’s associated with the likes of J Jonah Jameson(in this universe the bugle is a real newspaper who reports the facts despite criminal/political threats). There’s a lot implied that he used to work a lot more closely with Jonah and Felicia Hardy to run an information network, or web, to inform the public and keep organized crime in check. This is what earned him the name the ‘Spider’. To reiterate, the spider was an anonymous identity that few knew Urich was. However, over time he became addicted to drugs and began to take cuts from the organized crime he was supposedly working against. More specifically: the Goblin, who’s basically a mob boss in this universe. He had gone dirty, which is why I suspect his previous colleagues put some distance between them.

Fast forwards: Urich takes on Peter Parker as an apprentice after getting him out of a fight with some of Goblin’s goons outside of a protest. Peter becomes largely frustrated working for Urich due to just watching and reporting instead of doing something, this is evident during the apartment fire scene. Peter wants revenge on the Goblin for the death of Ben Parker and keeps pushing for Urich to go after him, but because of Urich’s deal with Goblin he essentially gives Peter busy work. This ultimately leads to Peter getting his powers. Later on Peter finds out that Urich has been hoarding information on the Goblin but is getting drugs from the Goblin so he’s not releasing it. He’s angry, there’s a shouting match. This ultimately inspires Urich to publish the Goblin’s information but also causing him to be killed by the chameleon in retaliation. While this was happening Peter swings in in his spider gear and mask to attack the goblin. They all assume this is Urich underneath the mask, and call him the spider. And later on people assume this masked spider is the same one who ran the information web.

Now as to the why I think Peter took the name Benjamin Urich: As seen above Peter is very much taking Urich’s place. He’s already taking the Spider’s name and it’s very convenient to have another alias to use with it. Especially one that people(from the underground at least) already associate the spider with. It’s quite literally perfect, too perfect, but that’s another post and has to do with the spider god. We already know he has a lot of heavy feelings with the name Benjamin for his uncle as well as his own middle name, which could be used against this theory. With that said I also think in this universe Peter doesn’t feel a whole lot like Peter after the spider bite. And maybe it’s gradual, but it most certainly starts with the spider bite/god. He is not the same person by the end of his run to say THE LEAST. Taking on a new identity, especially the one of Ben Urich, a man who wanted to do good, to be good but fell short, who wanted a second chance and didn’t really get it, would be a fantastic way narratively for Peter to express that.

And finally, because this Peter Parker is not the Peter Parker that May wanted him to be, but he is exactly who Benjamin Urich wanted him to be.
