There’s a lot of intresting things you can do with spiderman rather than just keep him a four legged crime fighter.

Let’s travel to this more… intresting alternate reality where Peter’s bitten by a radioactive spider unlike the one’s we know.

We meet our late adolescent waking up with haste, straight out of a fever dream. His body burns and unknown to him he’s about be awash in hormones, puberty like no other. You may even call it a… Metamorphosis.

Feeling stubs and strong, thick hair on his back that defied any explanation, furry finger tips and swelling waist, our hero stumbles, rolls over trying to catch a glance at the mirror.

While his limbs flex and twitch, as his face melts into a cold, boneless stare. He looks at the mirror again, all 8 limbs to the ground, he is lost to that primal hunger.

As he pushes around stretching and contorting in new ways, we see he pauses to examine, perhaps admire his new cold and springy body, ready for his next command.

He looks down his thorax,past the pulsing tracheal system and pulls inwards causing bubbles to foam up between his pincers and several strings of web shooting out to stick to his walls. He mindlessly tries a pattern for his web.

Now the deep hunger has it’s method. He gulps his spittle and foam, and in a miserable, desperate and surly voice calls out :
