Genuinely surprised by the lack of Unique(ish)! Readers in SuperHero Setting fics.
(Keep in mind that just because Y/N / [Reader] is a variant of the heroes that doesn't mean they act/behave or even look like their counterpart.)
Like most spiderverse fics have a Spidersona! Reader / Spider! Reader, but what if reader were a variant of a Spiderman Villain and/or Ally? Maybe a: Doc Ock! Reader, Prowler! Reader, Symbiote Host! Reader, Black Cat! Reader.Or Maybe a: Silk! Reader, Iron Suit! Reader (Maybe in a way that relates to Riri Williams more than Tony Stark)
Try copying a DC Hero/Villain-esque! Reader into that and vice versa, as in a Marvel Hero/Villain-esque! Reader in a DC fic. Like a (Black) Bumblebee! Reader or Blue Beetle! Reader, they could be related to Antman in a way, but possibly in a different team(Perfect opportunity to pair with Joaquin since Sam seems to have a mini-beef with bug heroes).
A Tamaranean! Reader in the Invincible universe(that's not Starfire coded) A (Green) Lantern! Reader teaching Captain America/Steve Rogers. A Doctor Strange! Reader(or other magic user) arguing with Doctor Fate(idk...) A Deadpool! Reader, Wolverine! Reader, Black Widow! Reader
Unique powers? What about a Reader that can manipulate gravity, shapeshifting, convert energy? ... Instead of Wanda's Powers but in a different color... Unique archetypes? A impulsive speedster faster than light? A sensitive empath that can control and sense emotions? A (mute) mime that can use imaginary/invisible powers and constructs?
Sobbing, I lost my fic a while ago and can't find it.
If anybody is willing to help be find it, the details are below:
(Keep in mind that this story was on Quotev[or maybe Wattpad??] So searching is damn near impossible)
The [Reader] in the fic is a Woman/Female, but her (single?) Toxic Mother raised her to be Masculine/Male. Reverse Nagisa ig.
Next thing you know. [Reader] is apparently one of the Knights for this Person in power(The Soon-to-be yandere), whether he was a Duke, Prince, or King, I can't remember.
Like Mulan, [Reader] is obviously keeping the secret that she's a woman, instead of a man, under wraps, otherwise, she'd be killed(if I remember correctly)
There were these side comedic-ish parts sometimes. Like how the sister of the duke/prince/king, I'm assuming younger, was into [Reader], finding her attractive without knowing she was a woman instead of a man.
Or how one of the fellow knights, also oblivious to the fact we're not a man, got a bit butthurt by this since he fancies the sister/princess until [Reader] reassured they weren't interested.
Coming from a black woman, looking for actually neutral/diverse fics on Tumblr(of all sites) is hell, besides Wattpad which is the underwold. Why you ask? Cause each category is dominated by a certain type, especially White/Caucasian as the standard/average. I'm not trying to be seen as close-minded with these statements.
Example: You search Chubby! Reader / Curvy! Reader, its mostly smut instead of fluff or angst, particularly monster smut. Or vice versa, you search for (neutral) monster smut, but mostly get Chubby! Reader / Curvy! Reader, or at the very least implied, along the lines of and I quote: 'only your fat p*ssy can take them anyway'.
Example: You search Black! Reader / POC/WOC! Reader, its mostly smut again instead of fluff or angst. And even then, its not much of a difference compared to a truly neutral reader. Though there are also too many times where everything is HEAVILY stereotyped, like the overuse of AAVE and how reader/chars acts more assertive/aggressive.
Not to mention, how items are tagged. If reader's appearance or name is described, its NOT an 'x Reader', but now an insert/OC. 'Well I wanted reader to have straight black hair, green eyes, and fair skin cause I have those traits-' NO. Cause I did NOT flush pink. Or perhaps when I read smut, but reader is coded to be on chubby side which was not labeled.
Overall, I just wish I didn't have to go out of my way to read a certain! reader type just to get the bare minimum, or worse, see none / barely any. I just find it odd how POC/WOC! Reader, Chubby/Curvy! Reader, and Diverse! Readers seem more.. sexualized. Or how it seems the only time we're included that it is indeed for smut and nothing else.
Currently craving a Comedy and 'Slice of Life' mini series about a Reader who is completely and utterly average. They don't excel in anything, but they don't suck at anything either. Everything they do, average, not outstanding, but not terrible either. Everytime they react, average, not dramatic, but not emotionless either. They're basically the perfect inbetween, if we're talking Goldilocks, but you get the gist... A true Y/N / [Name] [Last Name] / Reader
For example, being surrounded by different deres: Yanderes, Kuuderes, Tsunderes, etc. Another example could be: Werewolves, Vampires, Witches/Wizards, etc. They're surrounded by stereotypes but oblivious and ignorant to it. Like the delinquent, the nerd, the bully, the popular or rich person, etc, but on STEROIDS. In a way, it's sort-of like: 'The Truman Show'(ig) and 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K'.
BUT the reader is the ONLY average person in the 'verse while everyone else has their extreme. They're basically an NPC / background character yet somehow still attracts attention/other stereotypes or vice versa with the characters attracting more of eachother and reader, just pulling eachother in somehow, whether Platonic or Romantic.
Side Note: For extra comedy, we NEVER read in the Reader's POV, only the characters despite their obviously strange perspectives, opinions, wording/speech, etc. and especially of how they view other characters and reader cause I think it'd be hella ironic for a yandere to find a tsundere weird.
So, yall know how in SO many BatFam fics, the reader is lowk a superhero(I'm looking at you, Spidey! Reader), reincarnated/isekaied, etc. Whether this is through the reader swapping bodies with an alternate universe reader or just growing and maturing. It has become so so common.
But PLEASE HEAR ME OUT. What about a Moonknight! Reader? Think about it. The parallels between the Dark Knight and Moon Knight who is literally his child, by blood or adoption. Of course, this remains unknown to the family. How the Reader became Moonknight is also up to the writer.
I will admit and mention, I would have a small preference for the reader's appearance and background, being that they are gender-neutral(At the very least THIS since I'm a girl) and of Egyptian ethnic/descent or at least have some knowledge so they can sometimes nerd out like Steven Grant.
Whether the reader is insane, coping, and/or suffering from mental illnesses, like in the comics, can be interpreted and chosen by the writer for possible angst or building. Though if we're leaning fluff or comedy in certain moments, utilize Khonshu banter. I rebuke any and all smut though, but encourage hella gore and horror since Moonknight doesn't exactly dodge either...
HOLD ON PAUSE... batman/bruce wayne x spidernoir reader... who has a little peni parker who tags along with them the wayy robin does batman. LISTEN TO ME!!!

hello Benji , first time requesting and I wanted to ask if you could please do a peni parker from marvel rivals inspired reader in the invincible. Peni parker!reader as mark grayson superhero friend .and just anything really about her in the invincible universe.
𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍
Peni-Parker!Reader
Summary || hero friend to Invincible himself, technological genius and your this universe’s one and only spider-woman!
Note // I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Peni is very precious to me and deserves a good life. wrote it from second person this time around.
Let’s just say "Invincible" is no longer flying solo.
Ever since [Name] joined the roster, Mark's chaotic, high-stakes, punch-first-ask-later lifestyle has gained a layer of tactical brilliance and cyberpunk finesse. Together, they balance each other out—Mark brings the raw strength, emotion, and overwhelming power of a Viltrumite, while [Name] delivers methodical strategy, defensive control, and precision takedowns with her Cyber-Web tech and SP//dr.
Mark might barrel through starships, but when he’s grounded—literally or emotionally—[Name] holds the line. She doesn’t just back him up; she orchestrates the battlefield. Her Cyber-Webs control the flow of combat, slowing enemy movement and giving Mark time to strategize or recover. And when he’s overextending himself (again), she’s right there snaring enemies mid-charge or unleashing a Bionic Spider-Nest to create a killzone.
While Mark punches holes through buildings, [Name] is crawling up the walls—vertical wall-running at 90°—flanking, sniping from odd angles, and setting up Arachno-Mines in his wake. If a fight’s about to go nuclear, she pulls him out of danger using her Cyber-Bond web-strand. Mark calls it “getting yanked by Spidey-Sis,” which she rolls her eyes at but secretly finds kind of sweet.
Mark’s powers are boosted by emotion, but they also cloud his judgment. He goes too far. Pushes too hard. [Name] doesn’t just patch up the battlefield—she patches up Mark. She sees his grief. His doubt. She’s lost a father too. So when the weight of being “Invincible” nearly breaks him, she reminds him he doesn’t have to carry it alone.
During a mission against a rogue Viltrumite using echo-frequency tech, Mark was grounded, screaming in pain. [Name] singlehandedly web-snared the enemy mid-air using a trick shot with her Cyber-Web Snare, then surrounded them with a Cyber-Web zone laced with hidden Arachno-Mines. The explosion? Minimal. The impact? Lethal.
After Mark was critically injured fighting Conquest’s backup clone, [Name] activated her SP//dr’s emergency override, placed a Bionic Spider-Nest to deter enemies, and web-slung Mark out of a collapsing space station. She didn't say a word. She just saved him. And he’s never forgotten it.
During a cross-reality incursion, they defended the Web of Life and Destiny from multiversal threats. Mark, for once, wasn’t the one calling the shots—[Name] led the charge, weaving strategies like her webs. She even inspired Mark to call her the “Webwarden.” She kind of liked that one.
What Mark thinks of [Name]:
“She’s not just smart—she’s brilliant. And tough. And scary in the best way. I’ve seen her stand toe-to-toe with things that made even me flinch. She doesn’t flinch. Not for anyone. I might be ‘Invincible’... but I’m only alive ‘cause she’s got my back.”
And yeah, Atom Eve gave her the stamp of approval too. That’s not easy to get.
From a villain's perspective?---
“If you see a cyber-web at your feet, pray it's just her. If Invincible’s flying in behind it? You’re already done.”
So yeah, with [Name] Parker by his side, Mark’s not just a powerhouse anymore—he’s a tactical nightmare for anyone dumb enough to mess with Earth, the multiverse, or the people they love.
Mission Log: "Threadline Protocol"
Date: April 11th, Earth-Time
Location: Sector 019 | Interstice between Earth-616X and Webworld Prime
Subjects: Agent Invincible (Mark Grayson), Cyber-Operative [Name] Parker (SP//dr Unit Alpha)
Mission Objective: Prevent the unraveling of the Web of Life and Destiny due to a multiversal breach by rogue Viltrumite dissident factions allied with Angstrom Levy.
[MISSION START - AUDIO RECORDING]
MARK: (breathing hard) "Okay. I’m here. I got eyes on the breach. Or, uh... the ripping hole in reality the size of Texas. You seeing this too, [Name]?"
[NAME]: (calmly) "Confirmed. It’s a quantum destabilization spiral. Webline fibers are detaching. If it expands further, we’re talking multiversal collapse. And it’s not just a tear—it’s a trap."
MARK: "Of course it is."
[NAME]: (typing rapidly into SP//dr’s HUD) "Tracking three hostile Viltrumite signatures… wait—scratch that. Five.They’re masking their presence through Levy’s tech."
MARK: "He just had to show up again..."
[MISSION PHASE ONE: Breach Defense]
As Mark launches into the air, five Viltrumites emerge from the rift. Meanwhile, [Name] deploys from a vertical surface, crawling 90° up a fractured monolith, Cyber-Web Cluster primed.
[NAME]: "Mark—dive right! Now!"
A Cyber-Web Snare lashes through the air, catching the lead Viltrumite mid-charge. He’s immobilized instantly, crashing into a building-sized thread of Webline.
MARK: (grinning) "That never gets old."
[NAME]: (smirking through the comm) "Try not to get disemboweled this time."
MARK: "No promises!"
[MISSION PHASE TWO: Crowd Control / Nest Deployment]
As chaos erupts, [Name] drops a Bionic Spider-Nest at the rift perimeter. The glowing device anchors itself and spins a wide Cyber-Web dome. Hidden Arachno-Mines skitter out and vanish into the surface of the Web.
[NAME]: "Perimeter secured. Engage but pull hostiles into the web zone—I’ve turned the battlefield into a minefield."
Mark crashes two Viltrumites through the web line. Seconds later—click… boom. They vanish under a precision detonation.
MARK: (laughing over the comm) "You seriously scare me sometimes."
[NAME]: "Good."
[MISSION PHASE THREE: Mark Down]
A surprise ambush hits Mark from above—another Viltrumite, enhanced with Levy’s tech, drives him into the ground hard enough to crater the Webfield. He’s bleeding, coughing, barely conscious.
MARK: (strained) "Took… a hit. That one’s faster."
A Cyber-Bond web-line fires, latching to Mark’s armor and pulling him out of the blast radius. [Name] swings in mid-air, body spiraling like a silk thread in wind, grabbing him mid-pull.
[NAME]: "Told you: no disembowelment today."
MARK: (choking on a laugh) "I owe you… like... a thousand burgers."
[MISSION PHASE FOUR: Finale — “Threadline Protocol”]
As the rift begins destabilizing further, Angstrom Levy himself appears, surrounded by ghost-versions of Earths destroyed by alternate Marks. The Web shudders.
LEVY: "Too late. The collapse has already started. The Web of Life unravels now."
[NAME]: (voice low) "No. It won’t."
She activates the Threadline Protocol, fusing her SP//dr core with the breach’s epicenter, becoming a living conduit of cyber-web strands across realities.
[NAME]: "Mark—fly. Push the rift closed. I’ll hold the lines."
MARK: (furious) "No! You’ll be torn apart!"
[NAME]: (softly) "So were our fathers. This is our fight now."
Mark’s power surges, eyes glowing. Rage. Grief. Love. All of it. He flies harder than ever before, punching through the collapsing rift. Meanwhile, [Name] is a storm of webs, strands, code, and resolve, her SP//dr glowing like a spider-star.
[MISSION END]
Status:
Rift sealed.
SP//dr intact.
Mark sustained 2nd-degree internal trauma.
[Name] offline for 8 minutes post-merge, recovered at 93% functionality.
Final Notes (via Mark):
"She’s more than a teammate. She’s the net that keeps me from falling. You ask me what it’s like fighting beside [Name] Parker?
It’s like having a second heart. One made of steel, silk, and stubborn fire. And I’d follow her into any reality."
MISSION LOG: "Web of Stars"
Date: April 11th
Location: Earth-919 / Outer Expanse of the Life Thread Conduit
Operatives Deployed: Invincible (Mark Grayson), SP//dr Pilot [Name] Parker, Atom Eve (Samantha Eve Wilkins)
Mission Directive: Investigate and contain anomalies in the Life Thread Conduit—a cosmic artery of the Web of Life and Destiny intersecting unknown galactic ley lines. Reports indicate a hostile biosynthetic consciousness consuming molecular threads from multiversal anchors.
[MISSION START - MULTI-CHANNEL RECORDING]
[NAME]: (sliding along a sheer crystal wall with that clean 90° crawl)
"Looks like our weird thread-snake problem just got friends. I'm counting at least three biomatter distortions wrapped around the conduit… feeding off it."
EVE: (descending in a swirl of pink light, calm but sharp)
"Let’s make them choke."
[PHASE ONE: Coordinated Strike]
Eve extends both hands—matter around her vibrates, shimmers, and instantly reconstructs into massive crystalline pillars slamming through the feeding nodes of the anomaly. It shrieks, recoiling. Mark rushes in, his punch detonating shockwaves through the exposed neural core.
[NAME]: (drops a Cyber-Web Snare on the left flank)
"Snared the neural tendril! Mark—go!"
Mark shoots past Eve, launching a meteor-blitz uppercut into the core’s heart. Eve’s constructs encase it, locking it down like a glittering cage of molecular bonds. Behind them, Arachno-Mines crawl silently across the now glowing web.
[PHASE TWO: The Hive Wakes Up]
Suddenly, the conduit pulses—and the feeding anomalies split. The three become fifteen, glitching and reforming like broken digital gods. They surge toward Eve.
EVE: (calm despite the chaos)
"Yeah, no. That’s enough."
She lifts both hands—and instantly reconfigures the broken asteroid field around them into a massive energy-based ecosystem, complete with defensive flora and terrain made of restructured carbon.
[NAME]: (in awe)
"Did you just build a living terrain during a fight?"
EVE: (grinning)
"I multitask when I’m mad."
[PHASE THREE: SP//dr Unleashed]
As Mark tank-brawls the biggest hive-entity, [Name] deploys her Bionic Spider-Nest inside Eve’s crystallized environment. The entire battlefield becomes a maze of glowing cyber-webs and invisible mines.
MARK: (throwing a bleeding tendril into the web)
"[Name], now!"
The nest pulses. Dozens of mines detonate in chain precision, ripping apart the swarm. Glowing fibers snap together midair like fangs sealing a trap. Eve reorients all matter into a bio-lock cocoon, and Mark hurls the remaining core into the cage.
[FINAL PHASE: Web Singularity Detected]
Just as they begin to regroup, a deeper hum resonates. The anomalies weren’t attacking randomly—they were installingsomething. A dark sphere begins forming. Time dilates.
EVE: (a bit breathless)
"They’re seeding a singularity into the Web’s backbone. If it ruptures, this reality will fragment."
[NAME]: (focused)
"Mark, fly. Eve—back me up. I can link SP//dr to the webline. We might… rethread it. But I need you both to cover me."
SP//dr’s chest opens. The Cyber-Bond cable fires out and hits the core web—[Name] jerks as the suit lights up like a neural star.
MARK: (teeth gritted, shielding her)
"You better not die, Parker."
[NAME]: (grins through the surge)
"Only if you let anything touch me, Grayson."
EVE: (hovering behind them both, eyes glowing)
"Try and stop me."
Eve ignites. Her powers shimmer to near godhood, her constructs fractalizing space itself—redirecting gravity, rerouting energy. Mark flies loops around them, punching anomaly cores out of the air like a cosmic wrecking ball.
SP//dr floods the webline with stabilizing pulses. Slowly, the singularity folds inward, sealed beneath layers of matter-energy coding woven by Eve and solidified by [Name]’s cyber-architecture.
[MISSION END - DEBRIEF]
Status:
Conduit sealed
Singular anomaly terminated
Mark exhausted, hair singed
Eve elevated energy saturation; temporary power cooldown initiated
[Name] stable; SP//dr at 87% system load
POST-MISSION VOICE CLIP — Mark Grayson
"How did I get so lucky? Two of the smartest, strongest, most badass women in the multiverse watching my back? I don’t know. But I’m not letting either of them go. Not now. Not ever."
It was a rare moment of peace, the kind that didn’t come often for people who routinely saved cities—or timelines. The backyard of the Grayson house had become a makeshift recovery zone, with Mark flipping pancakes on a griddle that clearly wasn’t cooperating, and [Name] reclining upside-down in a lawn chair like gravity was optional. Eve hovered lazily a few inches above the grass, sipping coffee, looking as serene as ever—until the topic of conversation took a sharp turn.
“I still can’t believe you, Eve,” [Name] said, tapping her smoothie with a straw like it owed her answers. “You, of all people, Ms. Rewrite-Reality-With-Your-Brain, prefer fantasy over sci-fi?”
Eve raised an eyebrow without breaking her meditation float. “Because dragons have soul, [Name]. They have personality. You can bond with a griffin. Try having a heart-to-heart with a neural interface.”
[Name] gasped dramatically. “You take that back. Sci-fi has stakes, consequences. You build a giant spider mech and earn your victories. Fantasy just... chants gibberish and wins.”
Mark, hunched over a plate of increasingly burnt pancakes, muttered, “Still better than these pancakes obeying the laws of physics.”
“Fantasy is hope,” Eve said, now gently lowering herself to the grass to retrieve a fork. “It’s about becoming more than what you are. It defies logic on purpose.”
“Sci-fi is imagination with a brain,” [Name] countered. “It says, ‘what if?’ and actually answers it. The multiverse is real, I have a psychic bond with a radioactive spider, and you're telling me elves are cooler than that?”
Eve took a slow sip of her coffee, eyes half-lidded with amusement. “Your giant spider mech couldn’t even get us out of that web singularity without my ‘fantasy nonsense,’ remember?”
“That was a team effort, and my emotional support stat carried us,” [Name] said, sticking her tongue out.
Mark finally sat down between them, his plate full of charcoal-scented regret. “Can’t we all just agree the best genre is one where both of you exist and somehow still talk to me?”
They both turned to him in unison.
“No,” they said flatly.
Silence fell for a moment. Then a gentle chirp came from the SP//dr parked nearby, the cockpit lights flashing as it projected a small holographic speech bubble:
“QUERY: Why not cybernetic dragons with neural-linked magic cores?”
Eve squinted. “Okay... that’s actually pretty cool.”
[Name] smirked, sipping her smoothie like it was a victory toast. “That’s called science fantasy, and guess what side that leans toward.”
Eve rolled her eyes, but she didn’t argue. Instead, she nudged Mark’s plate. “You really gonna eat that?”
“...I tried my best.”
[Name] gave a sympathetic pat to his shoulder. “At least in fantasy, the food magically turns out edible.”
Later that afternoon, Mark sat cross-legged on the garage floor, surrounded by scattered tools, half-disassembled power cables, and the ever-present aroma of engine grease and strawberry smoothie. SP//dr stood idle in the corner, its eight sleek legs tucked neatly beneath it like some industrial-grade arachnid in meditation mode. Its single eye pulsed softly with cyan light. [Name] was half inside a maintenance hatch, her legs kicking lazily behind her while synth-pop music played faintly from a speaker that may or may not have been jury-rigged to a toaster.
Mark squinted at SP//dr. “Okay, so I’ve got to ask—how exactly do you two talk?”
A quiet whrrp came from SP//dr. A small digital heart emoji appeared on its outer display. [Name] snorted from inside the hatch.
“We just do,” she said, voice echoing slightly as she reconnected a few neural relays. “It’s a psychic link. Thought-based. Emotion-coded. Intuition-forward. Kinda like... feeling in full sentences.”
“That means nothing,” Mark said, genuinely confused but trying not to sound defeated. “Is it like... telepathy?”
“No,” [Name] said, sliding out on her back and blinking up at the ceiling like it owed her rent. “Telepathy’s like listening to someone in your brain. This is more like... feeling what they’d say before they do. It’s real-time understanding. Like an instinct you trust.”
SP//dr emitted a soft hum of agreement, its eye blinking twice in a way that [Name] immediately interpreted as “Yep, he’s lost.”
Mark stared. “So, what, you’re telling me you can look at that thing”—he gestured vaguely toward the glowing mech—“and know when it’s mad at you?”
“Absolutely,” she said without hesitation, now wiping grease off her hands with the leg of her suit. “And it gets verymoody when I ignore its diagnostics for too long. You ever been guilt-tripped by a spider mech? It’s brutal.”
SP//dr rotated slightly and projected a tiny hologram of a sad face with big sparkly eyes and the words:
“❤️CHECK MY COOLANT LEVELS, I AM DYING INSIDE❤️”
“Oh my god,” Mark said, slowly turning back to [Name]. “You trained it to be dramatic.”
“I didn’t train it. It inherited that,” she said, smirking and patting the side of SP//dr’s chassis affectionately. “My dad coded the emotional response matrix before I even bonded with it. SP//dr’s always been... expressive.”
“And this is what counts as normal for you two?”
“Normal’s a sliding scale. You should see what SP//dr thinks of your sense of fashion.”
SP//dr chirped again, this time projecting a low-res animation of Mark’s yellow-and-blue hero suit, now with added glitter, an oversized bowtie, and a cape that said “STYLE ICON.”
Mark groaned. “I saved the galaxy in that.”
“Exactly,” [Name] said. “You peaked.”
Mark leaned back on his hands, watching the banter bounce between girl and machine like it was the most natural thing in the world. He still didn’t get how it worked—how two beings so completely different could move in perfect sync. But he figured that’s what made them a great team. They didn’t need words. Just trust, instinct, and a little sarcastic flair.
“Okay,” he said at last, “but if SP//dr ever starts talking in my head, I’m moving to Mars.”
SP//dr slowly rotated to face him. A digital graphic of a rocket taking off appeared.

( sd. 03-25 ) " i'll take to believing this is the only outcome, the only universe for me. if i had another option, would i take it? no. this is the only option for me. "
# plotline. being spiderman has its challenges, but you can't lie, it's a massive improvement from your life before. for once; you feel like you belong here. this is what you were meant to be.
but things start to go wrong when seven steady months of operating as SPI//der are interrupted by a multi-universal society of other spider-people like you, and just as suddenly as you were found, you're lost again.
but questions start getting answered, faces lurking in the shadows come to light, and you're found by the very people who abandoned you before. remember what you promised? no one gets hurt again, not at your hand.
important note: batfam and spiderverse are equally involved. this means there's a period of time with more focus on spiderverse, and then more on batfam.

⋆ chapter three: entry 1326
general story disclaimers: reader can be considered a peni parker variant, the way peter 616 and peter b. parker kind of are. additionally, the fic's spider noir is from shattered dimensions (but i give him a trench coat because i can!!), but the main cast + marvel characters are still involved.
reader's 'peni-parker' influence based off of peni in edge of the spiderverse #5 2014, not the movie peni. events, of course, are altered.
a spiderverse x spiderman!reader x batfam concept different from my spidernoir one
exposition is fairly simple, peni-parker!reader comes back from the boarding school they were sent to by the family to "keep them out of vigilante business" but are blissfully unaware that for the past few months, peni!reader's been working on a mech suit to support their new found spider powers, after getting bitten by a radioactive spider while away at school.
with access to bruce's batcave, luke's indulgence in your "academic strive" and your stealth and sneaking about, you're able to make your suit pretty quickly. unresolved feelings from your past, and this sense of debt you feel, you decide to repay by being SP//dr... spider for easy-comms.
the thing is, peni!reader is an anomaly, since this spiderman in this universe in not meant to exist. maybe some stuff with the spider society and all can come in and we find out that actually, the spider that bit peni!reader was from this universe and spiderman is allowed to exist here.
but to investigate what a radioactive spider with the wrong genetic data was doing in your universe, where is wasn't supposed to be* spidernoir agrees to drop down to gotham to help peni!reader to figure it out. he becomes, essentially, a father figure for reader, something that bruce hasn't been able to due to the weight of reader's and his past.
meanwhile, when peni!reader comes back to the manor from 'boarding school' the family notices physical and mental changes in them. their more distant, dismissive... confident in their skin. though you guys never had much time to talk or hangout or bond like they do, the development is difficult to notice.
additionally, sightings of a man in a trench coat and a car-sized robot swinging around have been going around, doing god knows what. the batman doesn't like being unprepared, and tries to scour out their identities and whereabouts. i have some really small little ideas that'd be funny for the whole run, like spidernoir showing up for a parent-teacher conference instead of bruce, ai assistant karen, commentary from spiderpunk, constantine and strange link up and also delve a little into what the themes between spiderman variants, spiderman, and batman are that make them so different are.
i'm rotting away like an oxidised apple but rlly dont know if i should write it cus ive got so much 2 do... if ppl are interested at all i mkigbt consider
in conclusion: I LOVE YOU SPIDERNOIR AND PENI PARKER!!!!!
*supposed to be = not in the sense that how mile's spider teleported to another earth, but like, peni!reader was just not meant to be bit, and that spider is not supposed to exist. the dc and marvel universes are parallel, with peni!reader's existence being a small, hairline road between the two.
I wanted to introduce this freak and another guy for 2 years now, so majority of these drawings are pretty old 😭😭 His name is Nyoka Wadjet, and he’s one of my personal favorite boys I only ever teased on and off. I meant to get his ref drawings fixed up and cleaned, but tbh, that realistically wasn’t happening so I just compiled a bunch of mock ups I attempted as is. The quality isn’t up to snuff for my liking, but the trade off is a short bio that’s actually legible. Wooooo~
He’s twisted from/inspired by Ushari from The Lion Guard. (Ushari is explicitly stated to be an Egyptian Cobra in-series, so I primally looked at the real life animal as most beastmen tend to, but hopefully those who know about Ushari can still see the allusions.) I hope people like him as much as I have over the years, he’s one of my favorites 👉👈🥺
rosebud sapphire (she/her) , a tiny defective sapphire (about half the height of a normal one) who was only kept around bc pink diamond though she was so so cute.. when she heard her diamond had been shattered she ran away to earth before she could be shattered herself! has a magical girl wand, a roxy lalonde curl in her hair, and the softest baby hands… almost all of my crystal gems are pink LOL
The new ref are coming along.
Here the babies: Starlight, Boombox and Sugarush!
- updated Boombox amazing paintjob.
- made Sugar’s side fin chubby
- Starlight’s competence are very small because she’s very young ! Give her time to grow!
(head)canon that anytime a hermes camper finds a hypnos kid hardcore snoozin around camp, they immediately position them into the family guy death pose. do they even know what family guy is? probably not. there's just some deep, profound instinct within them that guides them to complete what must be done.
Hear me out, giant war mecha!reader made by human to kill and protect get whoosh into Transformers universe. We have human with sentient robots, now i introduce non-sentient robot with sentient robot who think said mecha is sentient.
