6. 1602

(Earth 311)

Peter Parquagh was a simple orphan boy in the year 1602.

After a spider became tangled in a cosmic time portal (that was used to send Captain America back to the future because comics are really confusing) it bit Peter and gave him our traditional Spider-Man power set. Of course, he called himself The Spider, but you know. The Spider fought crime across the New World and *checks notes* “let Green Goblin sell illegal dinosaur eggs to Doc Ock” … okay.

Anyway after that he met Marion Watsonne, the famous theater actress and they started dating and it was all cute and stuff. But this story has a sad ending. Because The Spider was the sacrificial lamb that kicked off the Spider-Verse event, in their Guardians of the Galaxy/Spider-Verse free comic book day issue. During a performance at the Globe Theatre, Morlun appeared and attacked The Spider, eventually killing him.

Poor Peter, kid never got the shot he deserved.
