OK HEAR ME OUT
I read spider noir a WHILE ago but,, the origin let’s discuss.
There are too many coincidences. And now I’m sure some of you will be like ‘buts it’s a comic book’ ‘it just for fluidity’ etc etc. Valid, But I don’t care, and that’s meta, anyways. There are too many coincidences but the one I’m focusing on is the name the Spiderman. Once again yes I know it’s a spiderman comic let me FINISH. But in the story Peter works for Ben Urich, who has the alias the spider/spiderman bc of his web of info on other people or whatever idk, and then Peter just happen to run into the spider god, that gives him powers? I don’t think so. (This would be a good time to read my other noir verse theories) What if it was a set up? An intended outcome?
Now we know the gods can have multiple avatars, and can even reject an avatar so what if there was an avatar to the spider god before Peter? And what if that was Urich? Hence the spider namesake. How did he come across the god though? No idea, might be similar to peters or smth. Maybe he discovered the statue to the god first and became her avatar, to deliver justice against the gangsters of nyc but over time he became tired, couldn’t deal with the curse and the darkness of the city he was fighting. He began to use drugs to numb that pain and if he ever overdosed the god would bring him back, he wasn’t afraid of dying he was just tired. Now again you can form your own opinions here but for one reason or another Urich sent the statue into peters path knowing he’d be chosen as the next avatar. He had the power and resources to do this, knew all of goblins moves, and had control over some of the lackeys. Peter also went where he and JJ said. He had all the pieces to set this up and he wanted out. But then Peter becomes the new avatar and Urich isn’t but he’s still addicted. The more he works with Peter the more he realizes how far he’s strayed from the path of good and he kind of lets go. I’m not saying his overdose was intentional but he did stop caring, or maybe he just got so used to the god bring him back every time he ODed.
To sum up Urich was the spider gods avatar before Peter and was part of the transition/reason Peter became the next avatar. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
