What If Peter Parker Kept the Symbiote?
What If... Peter Parker Kept the Symbiote?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, never got rid of the black symbiote suit? Let's explore this alternate reality and see how it could have changed the course of his superhero journey.
The Discovery of the Symbiote
In the original storyline, Peter Parker discovers the symbiote during the "Secret Wars" event and eventually rejects it due to its corrupting influence. However, in this alternate reality, Peter decides to keep the symbiote after realizing its enhanced abilities and potential.
Increased Power and Aggression
With the symbiote bonded to him, Peter's powers are significantly enhanced. He becomes faster, stronger, and more agile than ever before. However, the symbiote also amplifies his aggression and thirst for vengeance, leading him to become a more ruthless and violent vigilante.
Strained Relationships
Peter's decision to keep the symbiote puts a strain on his relationships with his friends and loved ones. His increased aggression and lack of control over the symbiote cause him to push away those closest to him, including Mary Jane and Aunt May.
Confrontation with Other Heroes
As Peter's behavior becomes more erratic and dangerous, other heroes in the Marvel Universe begin to take notice. The Avengers and the Fantastic Four try to intervene and help Peter control the symbiote, but he refuses to listen, leading to confrontations between him and his fellow superheroes.
The Fall of Spider-Man
Ultimately, Peter's decision to keep the symbiote proves to be his downfall. The symbiote's corrupting influence takes over, turning him into a villain known as Venom. He becomes a threat to New York City and his former allies, forcing them to team up to bring him down and rid him of the symbiote once and for all.
