˜”*°•.˜”*°• demetri alexopoulos - spider-man •°*”˜.•°*”˜
childhood best friend: eli moskowitz
specializes in physics, engineering, and robotics, sights set on mit before the spider-bite
gets bit during school trip to caltech genetics lab
doesn't believe he has powers at first and the broken sink is just faulty mounting
accepts he has powers after he unintentionally gets in a fight with kyler because he wouldn't leave eli and miguel alone
configures his own suit, web formula, and web shooters to test out his powers (upgrades his suit after a lot of trial and error in what does and doesn't work)
decides that, like the heroes in his comics, he should use his powers to protect others (though this comes after a LOT of hesitation and only after miguel off-handedly said this random guy swinging around the valley at night should protect more people in need and eli agreed)
gets frustrated at the growing violence in the valley after the green goblin recruited teens as his accomplices (even after he's defeated, the rise in crime continues)
gets tempted by venom after eli joins the green goblin's ranks and forms a personal vendetta against him
venom!demetri is an absolute asshole to eli, tory, and miguel and tries to use sam's company to make them jealous (she's basically a walking status symbol) (samtory are dating and tory gets jealous that she's spending more time with demetri than her gf) (it mainly proves he's an ass to all of them)
venom!demetri also shows less restraint in how ruthless his quips are and in his fights with common criminals and other repeat offenders
he initially blames eli finding out his secret identity for how his life is falling apart (mainly losing miguel and sam's friendship) but realizes he ruined his own life and gets rid of venom
demetri always had a rivalry with tory but still tries to save her from venom with eli
decides to go to caltech with eli after the fight (initially wanted to go to mit but he feels obligated to protect california, whether in the valley or pasadena)
˜”°•.˜”°• eli moskowitz - the new goblin •°”˜.•°”˜
childhood best friend: demetri alexopoulos
grew up rich but his scar and quiet personality left him a social outcast with demetri
wants to impress miguel at the beginning (his main drive) but grows to want to prove demetri wrong about green goblin
worried about demetri at first but after he becomes more secretive and distant, he grows frustrated and falls into green goblin's trap
hates spider-man after he defeated/killed green goblin (who he viewed as a father figure, no matter how toxic)
takes up the green goblin helm after finding out demetri is spider-man
also a little asshole but just bc he's angry and frustrated from years of being picked on and the fact that demetri kept his second life a secret
helps spider-man/demetri take down venom/tory (even at his own expense)
goes to caltech with demetri
˜”°•.˜”°• hawkmetri - parksborn •°”˜.•°”˜
both are secretly jealous about miguel (don't realize their feelings are reciprocated) (demetri tries to use spider-man to distract miguel so he's less focused on eli) (eli tries to use his newfound confidence under green goblin's influence to distract miguel from spider-man/demetri; he also just wants to impress miguel bc he likes him as a friend and thinks he's cool) (neither realizes miguel is straight and interested in sam until after the venom fight)
eli finds out about spider-man's secret identity during his first attempt to kill him when he pulls his mask off, which results in demetri swinging away in panic
demetri's attempt to make eli jealous with sam also kinda works, not as well as it does on tory but eli gets jealous that they act like best friends
eli then messes with demetri outside of their super personas to make him paranoid and on edge (which doesn't take much since he seems to become more snippy with everyone, even miguel and sam)
new goblin tries to kill spider-man in the full green goblin suit but does so in the middle of his venom streak, so he fails and walks away embarrassingly injured
new goblin tries to kill spider-man a third and final time but sees, under spider-man's tattered mask, that his childhood best friend is still in there refusing to hurt him anymore—he switches sides mid-fight and helps spider-man save miguel from venom/tory and take her down
venom/tory nearly kills eli but demetri saves him at the last minute and swings him to a nearby hospital to save his life
this took up my whole afternoon oml
uhhh @binaryboyfriends encouraged me to make this 🫡 thanks bookie 🫶 i could genuinely yap about spidermetri and hawkgoblin all day
also to clarify:
green goblin - kreese
mary jane/mj - miguel
gwen stacy - sam
eddie brock - tory
j jonah jameson would probs be johnny tbh (that's a really funny visual actually, i'm giggling thinking about him calling spider-man a menace) (he probably wouldn't say menace tho, he'd call him a pussy) ("how can you trust a guy in a mask? only pussies hide behind a mask")
also ik i used one (1) pic of tom's spidey but that's just bc his amateur suit is the most technologically modified, which would be demetri's style. other than that, this is entirely based on tobey's spidey
