Spider-Man: origin

Post by cweed4 »

To go along with my analysis of Peter Parker's origin I have taken a detailed look at the origin of Spidey from AF 15 to ASM 1. I made a panel-to-panel comparison by looking at AAF 15, SPECSM 1/2, ASM 94, and PPTSS 60/2 along with the other various stories and flashbacks. A lot of the recommended changes just involve page/panel designations. Also, many of the additions are single panel scenes that seem to have fallen through the cracks.

The most awkward thing in looking at all these origin stories together was the burglar's first appearance. In both SPECSM 1/2 and ASM 94-FB he is shown to run past Spidey before his TV appearance. This, of course, contradicts AAF 15. It is creatively dealt with by the MCP by placing the following TV show panels in ASM 94 as a subsequent television appearance. The same thing has to be done for SPECSM 1/2. Although, given the different temporal references within the panels, its a little trickier and requires a new entry to reflect an entirely separate appearance.

The most adjustments made here involve SPECSM 1/2. This was the first(?) re-telling of Spidey's origin and the story which added new elements like Ben's funeral and the street confrontation after the spider bite. A number of scenes attributed to ASM 94-FB actually first appeared in this comic.

The scenes at Ben's funeral have been changed a lot mostly because the current chronology does not have page/panel references. So, I had to try and redo a lot of that from scratch without knowing which panels corresponded to which entries.

Currently, there is no listing for Peter's appearance from ALIAS 22. While most of it is repeated stuff I did think it deserved some notation for its minor retcon aspect. The scenes where Jessica goes to tap Peter at the science exhibit could be seen as happening simultaneously with the beginning of the demonstation so I put them alongside the current entry ASM 94 (2:4)-FB.

The FB's from ASMU 10 come from Ben Reilly so I'm not sure if they really deserve inclusion in Peter's chronology.

It should also be noted that this anlaysis does not include the recent SM:WGP mini. An issue analysis was recently made for that by newtron. If it is accepted as canon most of that series does fit in fairly easily right after AAF 15 (9:1).

I think it should. Ben has all of Peter's memories up into his college years (thanks to transplanting of RNA cells or some such science), so unless it's highly contradictive, I'd say it's as valid as a memory from the man himself.

Good job, nevertheless.
