#cryptid peter parker

[awhoreintheory]

Peter convincing the batfam that he's a Literal Cryptid by using the Iron Spiders mechanical spider legs (tweaked to look more organic) and it literally driving Tim up the wall. Like. They're tweaking SO hard. There's a giant humanoid spider fighting crime.

Crack fic please 🙏

Spider-Man's Canon Cryptidization

As much as I love how Batman went from respected lawman to urban legend, I feel people fail to appreciate the Marvel equivalent. Peter Parker's alterego went from 'literally a wrestler with a gimmick' to 'he might maybe have once been human? We hope?!' in the eyes of the average civillian/mook.

Like his origin is clearly human, he's a tv performer and it's understood that his webbing is a gadget he came up with for the schtick. Then a little later when the Xmen become more popular and have more of an effect on the Marvelverse, you get the whole 'mutant scum' angle. But it eventually becomes clear that no, whatever this guy is, 'typical mutant' ain't it. (The alien suit debacle does not help with this at all.)

By the mid 80s Spider-Man is basically a cryptid, helped along by how the choreography and art style changed enough to show him moving in a way that is very inhuman, striking from the shadows, gravity optional. There's a whole arc where he adventures overseas and just straight up passes for a supernatural being so as not to compromise his secret id.

Then whenever anybody interacts with him long enough for him to start quipping they realize he's just a huge dork. Like, you know the inhumanly strong man-shaped shadow that can tell you pointed a gun at him from two blocks away without looking? He's going to give you a punny nickname while tying you up with a semi organic compound hitherto unknown to science. It's so funny.

Edit: just caught the typo in the title T-T

Bring back the black webbing 2023

[sunnythebot]

I know this is gonna be an unpopular opinion but I actually liked that they made Carnage (the symbiote) a separate character to Cletus Kasady in Venom 2, because something that's always kinda bugged me about Carnage as a whole is that fact that it feels like the symbiote itself has absolutely no personality of its own. It just feels like Cletus was given eldritch superpowers since he's the one who calls the shots, and as far as I'm aware, we never see or hear anything from the symbiote itself (please correct me if I'm wrong tho). It's like Carnage isn't even its own person, its just... Cletus, but he gets to be even more murder happy than he already was.

And while I've heard people explain it away as "oh they're just so in sync you can't even tell that Carnage is two different people", that explanation... honestly feels like an excuse not to flesh out a separate character. Like seriously, what is the Carnage symbiote thinking or feeling while Cletus uses it to do whatever the fuck he wants? Does it like the violence or does it hate being used to kill against its will? Is it okay going along with whatever Cletus wants or does it resent him for never allowing it any semblance of control? I can't help but feel like the lack of characterization of the symbiote itself is a massive amount of wasted potential.

You could have an arc about the symbiote growing to hate Cletus for robbing it of autonomy, and potentially even breaking free to find a host that won't hold it back.

You could have a bit of a reversal on the way Venom was introduced, where Carnage at first seems to be non-sentient, only for the story to slowly reveal that it is trapped by the whims of its host over time.

Hell, you could even do an arc similar to the movie where Carnage genuinely was born evil, but its goals ended up clashing with Cletus, causing them to turn on eachother!

And it's not just Carnage either, there's a good number of symbiotes who aren't actually given any characterization outside of being an extension of their host, and the fact that this is so fucking prevalent just... really bugs me.

[cakechako]

“I want to suck your blood blah blah” vampire dude keeps to himself in a gothic mansion alone for YEARS pretty sure his turn of phrase would be something along the lines of a intense anxiety and restrained hostility for disturbing his peace, or like some sad attempt at socialization like “hiiiii” or whatever

[the-lavender-room]

Imagine because of his spidey sense; he becomes really jumpy and flinches away whenever one of the Six gets too close or shouts too loud, but they all just think he has really really bad anxiety.

They think they found a small, wet possum child and not the local Cryptid

So, remember the scene where the symbiote takes down the Sinister Six piloting Peter's body? Well, what if Shocker manages to get it off of Peter and they just see this kid in boxers and a tank top who's dead asleep? And poor Peter wakes up, almost has a panic attack, and is clearly confused by what he's doing in the park when he last remembers getting into bed. The Six is like, "Oh, crap. We almost killed this random kid instead of Spider-Man." The symbiote tries to force itself back onto Peter and absolutely no one is having it.

Later, when Venom tries the "Peter Parker is Spider-Man" reveal, the supervillains call it out on trying to pin some innocent kid with being Spidey, when it's clearly just ticked that Peter didn't like getting possessed and is trying to ruin his life for no good reason.

Hi! Sorry to bother, idk if you take asks like this (if you don't feel free to ignore!) but do you know any good fics where SI employees bully/threaten/mistreat Peter and Tony comes to the rescue? Thank you so much for your time 💙💙

Hi! I absolutely do! I might just take forever to respond and take your prompt a little loosely 😃 The three under the cut are employees with (valid) security concerns. I know there are more that I can’t find, so anyone feel free to add some 😉

A Big Security Issue by FotiBrit

When Peter lost his Stark Industries Staff ID, Tony handed the kid his own. That was never an issue, until Peter had to check in at the front desk.

The Cusp of a Breath by SpaceCowboysFromMars

“That was the most stressful thing I’ve ever experienced.” Peter says as he and Tony make their way into the crowd. He wipes his sweaty palms on his thighs, cringing when he remembers how much the suit costs.

“You got shot on patrol last month.”

“This was worse.”

Or; Peter is introduced as the official heir of Stark Industries, but not everyone is completely welcoming of his presence. Luckily, he has a pretty awesome mentor to keep him on track.

the love (and other things) you inherit by ironfidus

“Which is why,” Catherine says, unblinking, as delicately as she can, “the board requires that you name a successor in the event of your untimely demise. The risk has simply become too great for us to ignore.”

Tony Stark’s spent a large portion of his life thinking about legacy: his legacy, his company’s, Iron Man’s. He’s spent a lot of time fighting to protect his legacy, too. But today, with a lawyer as his witness and FRIDAY as his one-AI cheerleading squad, he stops, takes a step back, and lets go instead—because for the first time, his legacy isn’t about him, not really.

And as FRIDAY would say: it’s about damn time.

Alternatively: Tony updates his will and gets himself an heir, Peter gets a promotion (for lack of a better word), and the rest of the world gets a wake-up call—in that order. Ft. an impatient board of directors, a Stark Industries charity gala, and a universe in which Tony Stark gets to be happy.

Security Bias by Sara (ctrsara)

Happy Hogan asks Daren Anderson to help him out with a little project.

My take on idk-bruh-20's irondad fic ideas #128: Fic where, after a security incident in which some bozo accused Peter of trespassing at Stark Tower, Happy holds an emergency briefing for the entire SI security team.

The topic of the briefing? The absolutely untouchable, vital-to-know-if-you-want-to-keep-your-job level of importance of one Peter Parker.

Five Times Tony Stark's Fabled Intern Just Showed Up + One Time He Was Invited by kingdomfaraway

While Leroy didn’t like gossip, he wasn’t immune to it and he’d heard about a young boy claiming to be Tony Stark’s intern showing up randomly throughout the building. He just figured it was some random mystery, a Stark Industries cryptid if you will.

Never did he think he’d have a sighting.

“Are you Peter Parker?” Leroy questioned, narrowing his eyes at the young boy, looking for any signs of deceit.

“Oh yeah, that’s me, hi!” Possibly Fabled Intern Peter Parker reached into his pocket and pulled out a badge and lanyard, this one with his face on it and INTERN written underneath it. “Mr. Stark got me a badge so I can get nachos whenever I want.”

Chapter 1 of 200 Park Avenue (5+1) by Sara (ctrsara)

Peter hasn't seen Mr. Stark, or been able to go out as Spider-man since he turned down his invitation to join the Avengers a few weeks ago. He ends up at Stark Tower rather randomly, finding an unlikely hero in Mr. Stark's AI, then keeps returning for different purposes.

The first chapter is a short I did for Comfortember 2022 that I've just kept thinking about. I'm building on that story and creating a 5+1 to explore the new dynamic (post-Homecoming) in another way.

Home by patrochilles_trash ((it’s less angsty than it sounds))

Tony had been out of the country for weeks on SI business, and Peter was having a hard time. He missed him, plain and simple.

Okay. Maybe not so plain and simple.

Peter had a rough time in the weeks and months that followed the final defeat of Thanos in the ruins of the Compound. Thrust back into life, only to be forced to fight for the lives of the entire universe for the second time at only sixteen-years-old, and then to be told that his last living relative died in a crash during his five year absence did wonders for his psyche.

He developed a nasty form of separation anxiety toward his mentor-turned-adoptive-father -- not that Tony fared much better himself -- and his therapist had said it was a side effect of PTSD and that it would get better over time.

OR

A small field trip fic to SI where Tony has been out of the country for a few weeks, and Peter isn't handling it well.

Don't be fooled. This garbage fluff to avoid my other fics that I'm writing

[erinwantstowrite]

hi!! first off i just want to say i love LOF and i think it really stands out in this niche genre of “spiderman in gotham”, its my absolute favourite fic rn and im loving the long chapters and dynamics between characters :)

for my question, i wanted to know if you ever considered writing any portions of peters past. specifically when he was “Parker”, an informant for the avengers. it sounds like a really interesting story and i’d love to know more about it, no pressure tho ^^

thank you so much!! I do plan on writing more about it. I honestly want to do a prequel,,,

I have some of it written actually. It was called It's called "Technically Not a Lie (Just Omitting Information)" and what is hilarious about that is it's only 27,000 words right now. I haven't touched that fic in forever because I just... had all of the information written down and the planning, and I got into Batfam and was like "Let's just write a little about this" and we can all blame @alighterwood for where we are now LMFAOOO

Thing is, I never expected LoF to get so popular, which is why it was posted first. I was like "I'll just make sure as much as I can that LoF is clear about his past so anyone who isn't me can read it and be fine." And now that we're here, I'm like "...that might be important."

I think it would be fun to have a prequel so more people can see the dynamics of Peter's world from before LoF in a much clearer light.

I kind of wanna shed a little light on how this prequel would go:

He ran from his last foster house at 12 years old, and he's year years old in this fic. In that time, he has been determined to make a life for himself all on his own, as well as help people as Spider-Man. He has no idea that his personality made people trust him so much. He's only on the street for about a year by the time the story starts, but "Parker" is very much intertwined with people. People just know him, he's the kid that the other kids go to for help. Even without Spider-Man (who, at this point, has only just gotten a proper suit and people actually realize he's not a cryptid), Parker manages to help people.

That's why the Avengers end up talking to him. Kids are going missing in Queens and show up dead- but most of them are the homeless population. They think it has something to do with people trying to make a knock-off super solider serum, and during their investigation, everything comes back to "That Parker Guy." Not in a bad way- everything has nice things to say. One kid even says they'll only talk to them if Parker vouches for them.

Turns out, Parker is a 13 year old and a fucking genius. I mentioned in LoF chapter 1 about it a little bit, and here and there it was mentioned. Peter gives the Avengers a real run for their money the way he does for the Batfam. Except it's ten times worse because he hasn't gone to therapy and is on his own, yknow?

So Bucky and Steve run across Peter (who is doing his own investigation into the missing kids as both Parker and Spider-Man) and that conversation ends with Peter going "Look behind you!" and sprinting in the opposite direction.

Sam and Banner are the ones that really track Parker down and have the first contact with him, and from there, he becomes their informant. Of course, he's also lying to their faces. Swears that he has a mother waiting for him and that he's just really good friends with these people. And people have lied several times to their faces for Peter, going with the lie, which muddies the waters about what is and isn't the truth.

From there, the rest is history. Tony thought he was just viewing Peter like he was a puzzle to figure out, and is truly shaken to his core when he realizes how much he cares about the little shit. When Peter gets kidnapped by the people making the knock off serum, they go looking for him. And Peter ends up having a home :)

Hi, my name is Liz. I'm 28 years old, and I blow the candles out on September 3rd of every year. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Art in Linguistics and I had two minors: One in German and the other in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Because I unfortunately can't afford to pursue more education, I joined the work force upon graduation! During school, I studied abroad twice: Once for a year in Germany and the second time was for a month in Ireland!

I've always loved stories, ever since I was a little girl and my dad would read the original Grimms fairytales to me. I've been telling stories ever since I could remember, but I didn't start writing them down until I was around nine years old.

My dream has always been to be an author, but I only recently started writing fanfiction in September 2023! A lot of my fics are story ideas I've had over the years that I've wanted to tell, but I always like to see how they'll do before I commit to them, so don't be shy about telling me what you think! I live for feedback of any kind, and likes just simply won't cut it for me. I want to know your thoughts! I promise you will never annoy me with them.

When I'm not writing, you can usually find me binge watching TV shows and/or movies while I cross-stitch, embroider, play video games, or paint! I also love painting pottery and reading in my spare time. If you want to know more details, feel free to check out my About Me page on my Navigation post!

Thanks for sticking around this long!

Corpse Mikey headcanon shenanigans

-@drinkinboilingcoffee

-At some point he had a peter parker-esque job under the fake name "Michel Allen" where he would give really blurry photos of himself to the local tabloids

-He is very very good with teeth hygiene since it was the only part of his body that didn't get all rotted and gross, so he wants to take care of them

-He used to smoke as a teen bc he thought it looked cool. He doesn't really breathe anymore, but he still pretends like he's smoking since somehow he still thinks it looks good

-He became a bit of a cryptid hunter, because if zombies are real, then what else is? He never really found much though.

-He indirectly became a cryptid by doing that, since random people would see him in the deep forest and freak out. He would love it, but they gave him a stupid name.

-He never really grew out of being a prankster, though his pranks are less... cruel than they were. He likes to jumpscare random drunk people at 2 AM. He got shot doing that once, though. (not like it hurt but it was annoying)

Irondad fic ideas #114

Tony has many different nicknames for Peter, and he has programmed FRIDAY to use all of them

Peter is also prone to getting stopped by security and various other employees due to the fact that he looks completely grown up and like he belongs there thank you very much

This leads to a situation in which the many different corners of Stark Industries - after inquiring of FRIDAY their own versions of "who tf is this kid?" - all know him by different names

On one floor he's Roo. On another, Crockett. Mr. Parker. Bambino. Kid. Junior...the list goes on

This only becomes a problem when employees attempt to talk about their strange new...cryptid? boss? intern?... to each other

biting & ripping thinking of ACAU Peter caring for Miles when he gets injured and isn’t healing as fast for some reason. Peter just being a mother-hen and constantly checking on him, stealing food for him, and there’s a moment where Miles is sleeping (resting his head on Peter’s lap) and Peter is massaging his scalp, and then all of a sudden Miles wakes up, frozen in fear because Peter’s so close and touching him with the same hands that tear people apart and threaten to tear him apart, the deer that’s stuck and bleeding in the wire fence doesn’t know that you’re not trying to hurt it, and you very well could, it’s just kicking and trying to break free as you get closer and closer with that knife
