Have His Parents Be S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents
As great as Spider-Man is, he’s very different to the other heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – he’s just a kid with a “normal” life, who happens to inadvertently obtain superpowers – so he could feel somewhat removed from the rest of the franchise and the characters within it.
With that in mind, something needs to be done to connect him to the wider universe – and what better way than by giving him a direct connection to the organisation that has dominated it so far?
S.H.I.E.L.D. have been a part of the MCU since its inception and having this version of Peter Parker find out that his parents – Richard Parker and Mary Parker – were killed on duty as agents of the espionage organisation could immediately connect him to a host of existing characters (perhaps they could have known Nick Fury, Howard Stark or Phil Coulson personally).
Moreover, if S.H.I.E.L.D. have anything to do with the Civil War, Spider-Man’s alliance could be determined by which side they are a part of if he blames them for his parents’ deaths.
