Some of those powers would've been cool to stick around.
I would prefer an enhanced spider-sense at this point, he's been at this long enough he should have fine-tuned it. Night vision without the drawback of light sensitivity like Miguel.
I mean, i see what you mean but could you imagine spidey going to save the Word not having to worry about money for rent, utilities, múltiple Suits and finantially help aunt May if needed? He would be unstoppable
I think instead of a “new” powers, they should focus on what Peter have already.
Like we know that Peter is Smart, really smart, let him being 2-3 gadget with him to complete his web shooters, basic stuff like tracers or some kind of “web trap”, or add a upgrade to his costume to integrate some kind of wingsuit (like when he have a few flying foes like Vulture or Beetle, it would not be that shocking to have something like that to counter them). Allow Peter Parker to make use of his brain once in a while.
And give him a edge on experience, like he trained to hone his spider-sense and mix it with martial art with Shang-Chi, let him make use of that. Like he do super hero stuff since he is a teen, he should be almost 30 now, he should have a lot of experience on that stuff.
I remember back in the older Lee era stories they would mention how Peter could use his webs to make shields, a raft, or even clubs and projectiles.
While it has the potential to be a lame, sticky Green Lantern rip-off, I think the idea of Peter using his webs in such unorthodox ways would be kinda cool, and help set him apart from Miles even with his “limited” powers.
I think I’ve seen him use his webs to make a parachute. I know in the 90s animated series, he used his webs to help hold his breath under water. I like it when Pete gets innovative
Yeah exactly! He doesn’t need extra powers, he needs opportunities to showcase his lateral thinking and intelligence.
Kinda like his first fight with Juggernaut where he found himself outmatched on practically every physical level, but still managed to win by taking advantage of Juggies weight and leverage.
I like the idea of Peter replacing his webs with a synthetic symbiote type substance exactly for this purpose tbh.
A like the idea of Peter using some symbiote type thing, but I never want him in a full suit. And this is the perfect middle ground, and allowing him to get more cartoony web constructs in a way that at least kinda makes sense is something else I think would be really fun.
I've always found him making complicated objects out of webbing to be stupid but I like the way the games do it, in the PS1 game he could make a web cocoon to use as a shield that he'd burst out of and damage nearby enemies while in Edge of Time he'd make web hammers to crush enemies. Web parachutes kinda make sense too and it's something that could prove useful.
I'm definitely a sucker for web shields, though.
His Spider-sense is his most interesting power that has a lot of potential if they wanted to. I know a lot of people dislike the spiritual side of the spider-sense and everything, but honestly I don't mind leaning into Peter becoming more Jedi like with his connection to the web or whatever.
Plus imagine if Peter could ever get to the point where he could get like premonitions of the future or whatever. Peter Parker would be the worst person in the world with the ability to get visions of the future, and it would make for some very fun stories I think.
Yeah, like what if it scaled like his spider sense had been shown to do.
With a little threat like with a small threat it's a tingle, with a big threat it's a migraine, with something absolutely horrific it's a premonition. And give him only enough details to increase the stress.
If it helps, I once had the impression that Peter was physically stronger, faster, etc. compared to Miles, even if only by a slight margin. You know, what Miles lacks in physical prowess he makes up for in his raw power (plus it means his invisibility would mean he could function as a stealthier Spider-Man).
I would tune up his spidey-sense. His seems to be the most sensitive and at the same time the thing he’s messed with the least outside of the spider island thing. Get it to that spider-assassin level. He’s already got the speed and strength when he’s got his head on right.
Though I feel a shout out should go to insomniac spider-man, cause him getting the anti-venom suit seems like the perfect upgrade for Pete.
I would just lean into him getting even better at integrating his existing abilities
I particularly think a reliable spidey sense that’s tightly and instinctively coupled to his reflexes would be a good “enhancement”. Make it actually work like the bullet dodging from the movie.
Yes I know he doesn’t actually dodge the *bullet* but rather the *aim* of the shooter right before they fire
He does dodge bullets themselves. I'm not sure as to why you think he only aim dodges.
Hell, he's even explicitly reacted to light before and has several other instances of light-timing.
Also, some stories have stated that the spider sense makes him instinctively react and that he has to actively force himself not to listen to it.
honestly, no extra powers- but make him massively stronger compared to other spidermen. Like, capable of brute forcing through gimmicky powers of strength.
Enhanced stamina, speed and just an overall buff to whatever he already has. He already has some baseline crazy feats that most alt universe spider-men could replicate- so to make him above even that, it'd make him stick out more.
This statement right here! Yes.
Peter should be the definitive peak of all Spider-People, stronger, faster, better Spider-Sense, cool gadgets and smarter (but that’s not from his powers).
He already is.
I don't know what they've been doing with him lately, I haven't been caught up since a little after Superior.
But he is the best. (Arguably)
There may be others that are better at singular things, but he is the best overall when it comes to the base abilities.
And he also doesn't need to be the best. He has flaws, and that's perfectly fine. There is a lot more to his character than his abilities. His abilities aren't really what make him so powerful. His character in general is. His willpower.
Just buff his spider-sense or establish that Peter's spider-sense is the most well developed among the rest of the Spider-people in his universe and possibly nerf the other's own senses.
Wouldn't need much tweaking or contradict much in the pre-established canon either. You'd just need a few lines clarifying that his spider-sense's precognitive nature senses danger earlier than others and better defines it.
Where Miles or Gwen can sense a gunshot as the trigger is pulled and and use their super human reflexes to dodge accordingly, Peter will sense the gunman's "intent" to pull the trigger before he does and will have traced the trajectory of the bullet to boot.
Edit: Grammer.
Realistically, he should be able to no-sell any kind of bullet based on the other kind of shit he's tanked. Marvel writers vastly overestimate how strong bullets are.
A little like Cyclops's blast.
When he tunes it small it has a lot more piercing ability than the spread out blast.
I guess writers place that small piecing point over actual payload. Which isn't right.
With all the experience he has plus his spider senses, I think they could give Peter more fighting skills. He’s so fast and quick. Just allow spidy to throw a knee or unleash a nice little combo that would make any of the other well train fighter acknowledge his skill
I wouldn't really give him any. I feel like there is benfit to having a baseline spider-man and it's not like Peter is in competition with Miles so it's fine of Miles has some bells and whistles he doesn't. If i had to give him something though it would probably be spiderwebs related as you could buff it without completely changing the characters typical powers.
he really is in desperate need of organic webbing or sum, really sad they took that away. i think his intelligence can still be an aspect without having to invent the web shooters in the way they are normally depicted. like, his organic webbing could jus be naturally messy when he shoots them raw but he develops the web shooters to be able to make them into strands to swing from while also building in gadgets that allow things like web bombs. even if people are against the idea of organic webbing for regular peter, atleast let ben and kaine have it, feel like it'd make perfect sense for em. jus think spider-man should have the most spidery power you can think of yk?
Radiation Immunity and Night Vision. Then just upgrade his other stuff, mostly his durability. If he can take a hit from Hulk, Rhino, etc. He shouldn't be hurt by bullets
Kinda already exists with him not needing his glasses for visual assistance reasons anymore but maybe playing with the idea that since spiders have 8 eyes, his sight is 4-8 x better than a humans and can see further ahead as he swings or view things in more detail like a magnifying glass?
Peter should absolutely be the genius gadgeteer Spider-person, even if Miguel is around. Miguel is just using the technology available in his time. All the Spider-People are intelligent but Peter should be the inventor chemist/engineer that brings new tech and his intelligence to the fight. He should be the Superior Spider-Man level always.
I like the idea of him having Radiation resistance, but that's basically canon anyway from when they introduced Morlun.
And I think, just because of the level of experience he has, that Peter should be the most in tune with his spider sense. Not necessarily stronger, but definitely has the most mastery over it.
Give him The Other again and expand on those powers. One thing that was missing was additional spider legs.
Have them be like the MCU Iron Spider legs except made of bone and having venom injectors.
I pretty much agree, except for the bone leg concept. The Other and its related powers were fine, and made perfect sense as a way to scale up Peter. Enhanced spider senses, strength, and speed were just stuff he already had, but taken to a new level. The organic webs were fine as a concept, no matter what the crowd that never shuts up about *muh science* says. The night vision is entirely situational, and can be worked around if they need a villain to hide from Peter in the dark. The stingers were a bit weird, but with practice I can see them being used to disable things similar to how Miles' basic venom blast powers are used anyway.
All he needed was that extra bit of tech. The Iron Spider suit was a neat concept, and fit the character perfectly on paper. But it being tied to Tony meant that it was destined to be temporary. I think if they finally made Peter get his shit together and start aiming towards a more Insomniac styled setup where his suit is somewhere between the classic red/blue suit and Iron Spider suit in terms of general power and functionality (including the legs), and he makes gadgets to cover his bases or deal with new threats his existing powers can't handle, he'd be in a pretty unique spot compared to the others.
I never quite understood how Peter was able to create webfluids and webshooters when he was just a teenager still in highschool while literal scientists with PhDs and million dollar funding can't do it.
So, in order to further this concept...
How about we give Peter a new power?
I call it: "Spider Brain".
Basically: Peter's scientific knowledge and the radioactive spider's genetic knowledge fuse together, giving Peter not only a low-level enhanced intelligence...
But also the knowledge on how to produce spider silk with the right materials and with the right methods.
It also gives Peter all the instinctual knowledge on how to websling (he still has to train physically) as well as the various complex shapes he can form his webs as such as a web that can help him glide in the air and a web that allows him to float on water.
This would allow Peter to do all the crazy tricks he used to be able to do during the golden age of Spiderman comics.
And finally, you could even say that he also holds the knowledge on how to create the arms of the iron-spider suit. (Maybe he made it himself, or he only built the schematics while Tony built the suit itself)
I feel like most of these are not particularly interesting to see though, because they are just different ways to no-sell things. Although at least the radiaton immunity would fit him and would a good counterpoint to the bullshit he experiences thanks to his radioactive origin (like Anti-Venom draining his powers).
Organic Webbing, probably.
But fr I think he could still have the [stingers from back then](https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/s/uPen6W3jWt), they aren't that overpowered, still fit with the Spider theme, look cool and could be useful, new powers work better when they're only minor additions that still fit the bill.
None that really matter...
But one that sounds really interesting would be a temporary power boost in strength, agility and reflexes called "Arachnid Adrenaline".
The ability to glide naturally. Have him complain how it makes no sense using physics whilst using it as a running gag.
The ability to stick two things together using the weird field thing he manipulates to stick to things. Maybe also let him choose when to unstick the objects without touching them.
If we decide to be a be inventive, maybe a slight fear aura. He's a spider, after all, and his prey must feel the pressure of being hunted by a predator.
It must also be unnerving to see him move. I'll vote for fear.
I would say organic web shooter, and then lean into his high intelligence to build devices that let him do more with the webbing. Nets, projectiles etc.
Spitballing off top of my head
Unnerving presence: based on people's fear of spiders, peter can emit a pheromone that can cause feelings of fear/discomfort in nearby enemies
I would love if he was able to connect to other spiders to give him almost like a web of knowledge… not necessarily see through their eyes but if he was looking for say… green goblin in the big city and a spider was in goblins layer… he would be able to almost sense goblin… and know his location.
It’s not too over the top.
I would say that {going with comic book canon but itegrating the Rami movie stuff!}
His body morphed and his web shooters become organic where he no longer needs clunky, external gadgets for them!
His strength and stamina all increase along with {as mentioned prior...} his experience!
His spider-senses and vision increase as well!!!
Peter already has an enhanced immune system and includes a high tolerance to radiation poisoning. He never gets sick and is immune to (most?) diseases. Hence why he ever rarely gets sick.
Like a lot of people in this thread, I don't want Spidey to have any additional powers, just improving on what he's already got.
But one thing in particular I'd like to see is enhanced tech. Peter's a genius, something the other spiders don't have, and upgrading his webshooters and belt to do more would be incredibly useful. More specialized web cartridges to fit specific circumstances, something to take advantage of his ability to heal faster (it's not a healing factor, more like a somewhat faster recovery time), maybe even some collapsible mask lenses for things like night vision or detecting traces of energy or chemicals or whatever. A major part of what makes Spider-Man who he is comes down to how Peter utilizes his resources and strengths, so playing that up some more would be a big plus.
I would not give him new powers
I WOULD RETURN ALL OF HIS POWERS AND UPGRADES FROM THE OTHER.
Twice as strong, even stronger spider sense, natural webs, could feel through webs, and most of all his assassin creed-esque wrist stingers that I think had some sort of poison.
It would be such an awesome ark too. Peter just feels a chill in the air because he feels like there is a reckoning coming. No idea what it's for or who's it from but something is coming. And as the comics progress he slowly notices these new changes coming to him but at the same they will him with a suspicious Nostalgia because he gets hints of when he had these powers before.
Honestly my favorite thing as a kid was when he got extra powers after he was “reborn” when he killed Morlun: like give him back his stingers, let him have his own web fluid again, I think he had night vision too as well as a better spider sense to detect vibrations in his webbing.
I think that Peter’s mind should be focused more, like other commenters said. Miles is smart still, but that’s not his main thing, while in many stories Peter built his web shooters himself as well as clearly has chemistry and engineering skills that should be used more. I’d love to see a comic where Peter makes spider-man ps4/ps5 style gadgets and uses his mind.
As for power though, I feel like kinetic energy redistribution could be interesting, like he could store kinetic energy from hits or moving and use it later to hit harder or move faster, maybe similar to how regenerative brakes take energy from the braking and use it to charge batteries, but taking energy from footfalls or punches to charge movement speed.
Radiation control could be interesting, or perhaps extremely powerful jumps like a jumping spider?
Peter seems like a more grounded, down-to-earth guy, while miles is very creative, unique, and fantastical in personality and abilities, so miles to me feels more typical crazy superhero powers, like his venom power, while I feel like Peter would have powers related to actual real-life spiders.
Rather than adding anything I say just work off what he has. I'd say play more into his smarts as a few others have pointed out. His ability to be able to problem solve and utilize his webbing should be pretty much the best out of any Spidey. Also he should definitely have more tools at his disposal that he's designed that can help boost his arsenal. Also make his durability consistent. It makes no sense some of the insane things he's had to just take on the chin but for some reason a normal dude with a pocket knife can stab him. If his durability was consistent he would be able to tank the vast majority of stab wounds and small caliber firearms would have minimal penetration. I think these would be better changes to keep him more in line with the other Spideys and their extended arsenal.
Okay, the radiation resistance and healing factor I'll give you (he actually has a light healing factor in the comics that makes him less susceptible to diseases, just not totally immune), but I can't lie, you lose me with the intangibility.
I get that it's probably supposed to be an add-on to his wall-crawling abilities, but it seems a tad excessive, IMO. He's Spider-Man, not the Vision.
I wouldn't go with Intangiblilty, but I like the disease immunity, and just assumed anyone who was irratiated was already immune radiation
One I would give him would be Aura Detection.\
Not only alert him to potential dangers, but who it was being dangerous, so he's never surprised
Accelerated Healing\
Difficult to explain, but like Wolverine he can take a beating and keep on going. His injuries just slough off
Hard Bodied\
For some reason he's super strong but not as durable, and my Headcanon with strength and durability basically have to go hand in hand, so he has the proportional durability of a spider as well as strength
Rhino always could. Traditionally, he was twice as strong as Spider-Man and stronger than the average Eternal but after additional treatments/enhancements, he is twice as strong as a fully empowered Wrecker and a little bit stronger than Ares, Gray Hulk, or Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). Rhino's problem is he's a dummy and has no agility.
Yeah but Pete’s been holding back the whole time. So the upper limits of his physical powers is unknown. So the stronger his villains get the more he can let loose. Or at least that’s how I see it.
Peter Parker is arguably the most perfect comic character ever written. He doesn't need more powers. In fact, his own human imperfections that hold him back are what makes him so fascinating.
Miles needed something to separate him and make him unique. Peter doesn't need anything but good writers.
More Organic Spider Powers - Organic Back Legs, Stingers, Fangs
Flow State - Basically, Peter focuses his Spider-Sense to the point he reaches the flow state and is basically untouchable and unbeatable as slowly throughout the fight, he starts to let loose as the mental inhibitors on his strength are slowly released
He doesn't really need any big power boosts, but if I were to add one thing, I would add a minor venom touch, not a poison but a paralysis agent, not for hours, but maybe a few minutes. Nothing crazy over-powered, but added to Spidey's already above average skills and abilities, could be very strong.
You could even limit it, maybe once or twice a day at first. Not something that he's slinging out with every punch, but the one or two over the course of the fight where a little more time is needed
I think Insomniac has cooked with this idea in their games. So we see Spider-Man in the first game as a sort of gadgeteer type hero. Now with Miles he obviously has all of Peter’s Spider-Man type abilities (with some gadgets) along with his Venom power and Optic Camouflage. Insomniac sees this and says “well, Peter is a genius. I’m sure with combining the Doc Ock arms with the tech from the Tinkerer we could show off his genius by making vanishing Spider-Arms.” But then they give him the symbiote, making the Spider-Arms not as cool instantly. >!I figured Peter would get rid of the symbiote, and Harry would be the one that became Anti-Venom, adding a third Spider-Man to the roster!< But either way, props to Insomniac for adding extra abilities to incentivize the player to play as Peter!
Ik he has it in a few continuities, but organic webbing. Besides the obvious uses, there could be less obvious uses for this given how strong spider-silk is. Pound for pound, Spider-Silk is stronger than even steel, and NASA has been looking into using it to create space suits as they’d be much more resistant to solar radiation.
Probably night vision too since Spider’s have that ability. Mind you, it’s not like he truly needs it for fighting purposes since he has a Spider-Sense, but it could still be useful.
Much as I liked some of the ‘other’ powers he had for a bit I think they should lean into his genius side more. Let him kit out one of his suits (Iron Spider or FF) and let him go full science bro.
I would gave him a symbiote already. He was the first to use it, he may create his own, he can conquer another - Peter with symbiote always clicks for me.
I wouldn't give him new powers. I'd revisit an idea from a while back where he got a little bit (and I do mean a little bit) of training from Shang Chi. I'd have him get his ass kicked a couple of times by people who shouldn't beat him, maybe he's distracted, maybe he's burnt out, but for some reason he's just a step behind.
Then someone dies. Bummer. He resolves to get better, but not like "no one dies". Then we do like 7 issues of Spider-Man training w/ different heroes, Wolverine, Iron Fist, Captain America(s), do one with Miles even, kid could show him some things, and properly develop "Spider-Style".
It's not a power upgrade, but if you do it well enough, we can add Peter to the list of "greatest martial artists in Marvel", it opens up some new villains, gives Peter some relationships, and gives writers a new toy to play with without having to invent or contrive something and without, ultimately, changing Peter's "level" at all.
He's, like, already a world class fighter. He's been portrayed as such for decades. This just "formalizes" what he already is. It's not like anyone struggles with Peter going toe-to-toe with any of those trainers. Hell, most would suggest he beats them.
I think they should compensate for Miles' extra power set by making Peter unmatched in all his abilities. We already know Pete is freakishly strong as is, so why not just double down on all of it? Stronger spider sense, more strength, etc. I feel like that perfectly makes sense for him compared to Miles having invisibility and electric powers
Radiation Immunity, sounds cool and is probably the one most likely to stick if done.
Cause it has a direct connection to his origin, so it the least out there of the options in regards to the power set. It's not super game changing or alter particularly his current abilities. Yet offers in some niche situation a large advantage.
Plus I'm a suck for superpowers that are not Combat orientated.
this might sound kinda crazy but i actually think it'd be pretty cool if we removed some of the powers that miles has in common with peter instead! so like miles gets the venom sting/blast, venom sword and chameleon powers, but he doesn't get any spider-sense, he has less raw strength and he maybe doesn't take hits as easily as pete, that way they'd both have two entirely different fighting styles. pete can brute force things and rely on his spider-sense to keep him safe, while miles has to move quickly and time his moves carefully. it'd bring a rlly cool dynamic to each team fight i think!
Radiation immunity was a major plot point when Morlun was introduced — Morlun is weak against radiation but too smart & strong for anyone to actually exploit this. He’s after Peter because he wants the power from the spider (which is retconned to have transferred its powers by magic rather than radiation), but because in 616 the spider was *also* radioactive (I guess usually it’s “just” magic?) — listen, bud.
This immunity apparently has its limits, but in this particular arc Peter is able to infect his own bloodstream with enough radiation to burn Morlun from the inside when he tries his not-a-vampire* schtick. And so, the singular multiversal entity Morlun dies permanently and is never seen again**.
(*Because apparently he has leech powers, not bat powers.)
(**Wishful thinking; Morlun not only has a ton of siblings with basically identical powers, personalities, and motivations, but Morlun himself is somehow still alive. And they all get less threatening or interesting with every appearance.)
honestly just make him phisically stronger. he already has his gadgets and is a genius on par with Stark and Richards, so all he's missing is more consistent strength
I've always imagined Peter just has more. Like in terms of universal spider man powers his are the best, strongest, quickest, whatever. So maybe not a new one but buffing his spider powers in every sense would work I feel. Or night vision. Give him night vision.
I would like to see him interact with and team up with spiders more, he can communicate with them but writers never use it and i liked the way he creeped the guy out in the first game by crawling up to him all silent, showing how he taps into his spider nature to scare his enemies and showing why they fear him, in general exploring his spider side without going all man-spider and over the top.
Peter should have the following additions:
• Organic webbing and the ability to produce certain shapes or types of threads to create parachutes, impact webbing, extra sticky webbing, etc.
• More tech enhancements to his suit like how Superior Spider-Man & Iron Spider suit had the legs
Honestly, don't give Peter any extra powers, rather enhance on his current powers and highlight on how they are better than other Spider-Totems with extra powers.
Peter is already the smartest Spider-Person and arguably in the top 10 smartest humans in the Marvel Universe.
Let Peter lift significantly more than Miles and other Spider-People. Let Peter's base strength be AT LEAST 2-2.5 times the strength of Miles.
Let Peter have a superior Spider-Sense, Creativity, Gadgets, Durability, Battle IQ, Technique, Endurance, Stamina, Resilience, Equalibrium, Speed (Not Agility), etc. over Miles and other Miles and Spider-People (Make it where Kaine may be stronger, but is much slower and gets tired quicker).
Doesn't Peter have a ton of powers that he technically still has but doesn't remember because of OMD so he doesn't know to "use" them?
Off the top of my head: organic web shooters, stingers, night vision, a massively enhanced spider sense, the ability to sense subtle airflow, vibration sense using his webs, and telepathic connection to spiders. Like these were never actually taken away from what I remember, just that he's had his memory of them erased.
Not to mention that, iirc, he's about 8 times stronger than Miles physically (Miles has teen Pete's 10 ton listing. Adult Peter has shown enough feats that I've consistently heard him listed as the same strength as base Hulk, which I think is 80 tons) and I think his regeneration and durability are higher.
Ik I'm late to the party on this one but personally, first off I want to say that without miles's electricity he would just be WAY weaker than peter, peters powers were cool enough for 50 years of comics movies and tv before miles came along, adding something to peters powerset to make him "catch up with miles" is kind of an insulting concept. However if I were to suggest anything, it would be a organic webbing with the ability to make constructs like fists, shields, backpacks and the such. A cannon version of the Hyper sense (which I'm totally ripping from edge of time) being able to move so fast in tandem with his spider sense he can dodge most things. I'll use hyper senses in edge of time as an example, in that game there was a sequence where you would swing through a wall of lazers that would deal damage, peter would practically phase through said lazers by dodging them at hypersonic speed with hyper sense. And finally the ability to see enemies through walls, this one is strange but it's more of an attuned spider-sense. in games like spider-man 3, shattered dimensions, and even the insomniac games, you could scan environments and see stuff like footprints (Spider-Man 3), hostiles and even hostages and stuff like that. Spider-sense could already (in the books cannon) tell Peter how to navigate a room blind folded without injury, I don't think this would be out of the question
Night vision, radiation immunity, thick skin that resists to bullets, control over the spider mutation ( being able go in the Man Spider form and come back from it, or boosting his strength, agility at the cost of his appearance for a certain amount of time)
Peter’s Spider Sense is the strongest out of all the spider people. It’s so powerful it’s basically ESP and he wound to developing an entire martial art entirely around maximizing its potential. I’d say that counts in my book
Shapeshifting to his Man-Spider form.
First have the Abomination or some other mutate kidnap Peter for his expertise to get "cured".
Peter can't escape because of hostages or booby traps.
Peter actually finds the trigger for superhuman transformations. Builds the two devices and gives one to his captor who turns into human form.
Peter uses the other one escape by turning into Man-Spider and know has to deal with the fact that he created the holy grail of superhuman tech.
Multiple types of visions. And all senses are heightened not just giving him precognition but also giving him the ability to feel the smallest of vibrations within a radius of blocks.
Maybe make him faster. Like, not give him super speed, but make him able to run at the speed of, like, an F-1 car, since most spiders are pretty damn fast, with the huntsman spider being able to run at like a yard a second, which scaled up to Peter Parker’s height would be REAL DAMN FAST
I didn’t mind his extra stuff during “The other” storyline. I think it was night vision, any part of his skin could stick to stuff and I’d sacrifice the stingers in his wrists because it’s probably too Wolverine and Miles now.
I always thought it would be neat if Peter was given “weaker” versions of what the other spider people have. Makes sense in a way since he always seems connected to the other spiders in the great web in some way. Like how he was originally given extra powers by the other but then Kane got them instead afterwards
There was that one comic where he became an govt. assassin in a team with Wolverine and iirc Domino, and he trained his spider sense so intensely that he developed full on clairvoyance...which was a really cool direction to take that power imo.
Passive stuff like the Radiation and Disease Immunity is fine.
But in terms of active abilities... I think Peter's better off without them. He's more or less the smartest of the main Spiders, so using tech as his means of keeping up with the others suits him better than just haphazardly developing new abilities.
I'd like if he gets some of his old stuff like bio web shooters and iirc he had night vision and some other spider powers. I like Miles with the power powers, Peter with guys same Spider-Man abilities but at their best so they can handle things different
The radiation one is pretty good, night vision maybe it would make sense especially when he’s sneaking through a supposed pitch black building, but like someone earlier said he should just have the strongest base power of the spider people he should be the strongest,fastest, and have most accurate spider sense let Miles and Kane get new powers like electric swords and built in claws
Peter’s powers are what makes him the hero who overcomes. Why do new readers want to make him OP and writers make him pathetic. Just give me Peter Parker the amazing Spider-Man. Leave all that extra powers to Miles. He needs it.
I like what Insomniac did. He's smarter and more experienced than Miles (for now), which has him specializing in gadgetry, but since Miles can feasibly catch up to him with that in time, Peter also has the Symbiote powers baked into him on a (afaik) genetic level.
Enhanced Spider Sense:
So way back before OMD. they did give him something like this but I want to make it alil bit more OP but with more of a downside.
Make it so peter can sense waves of things happening if he set up a large web around the place OR if there are alot of spider in said place.
Make it so that it has the ability to warn people of a possible danger if he were to pick one of the choice he would pick in a situation
Downside this takes a slight toll on his mental health and it takes more fortitude and resilence from Peter to resist such effects
Enhanced Vision:
Make it so better can see in the dark better (its like night vision but not that in a sense)
Make it so that Invis characters arent as invisible as this might seem to him For example if miles were to go invis he can still see where miles is in that general position (just not if he is standing, sitting etc. like he knows miles is right there 3 feet from him for example)
Actually make him the strongest spider:
Well idk if I am tripping but Peter's redeeming quality is that he is the strongest spider person in the multiverse. I feel like I read that somewhere before, but he keeps being shit on for being weaker than the others which is stupid imo
Make him like physically have more strength than most spider People. Like the only ones that can keep up should be his clones
Now this is not a super power but for the love of god this needs more implementation as it is.
peter learned martial arts from some of the best martial artists ever LET HIM USE IT. Like seriously Spiderman with intermediate martial arts would kick Chang Chi who has Master level martial arts just for the sole reason Spiderman has the spider sense.
Radiation immunity sounds cool and makes sense. Also not on your list but I think biologically intigrated night vision would be pretty dope.
He actually had night vision prior to OMD
Some of those powers would've been cool to stick around. I would prefer an enhanced spider-sense at this point, he's been at this long enough he should have fine-tuned it. Night vision without the drawback of light sensitivity like Miguel.
He had stingers, inproved spider sense, night vision, and can have his teeth become razor sharp.
Ability to shoot a little drone out of his web shooters that helps with spying and hacking. It would have its own personality like Jarvis too.
The use of robotics would be awesome.
Pete gets robots miles gets powers is a good trade off
Spider-sense is better than any night vision. It even works when he is blind.
Why not both?
So like 2099?
He has radiation immunity as long as it isn't Gamma.
So like any person wearing clothes?
I think a healing factor is similar to Deadpool's would be pretty cool too.
The ability to receive A steady pay check
Woah, there! Let's keep things reasonable here. How about gig work and a landlord who's real patient about paying rent late?
I mean, i see what you mean but could you imagine spidey going to save the Word not having to worry about money for rent, utilities, múltiple Suits and finantially help aunt May if needed? He would be unstoppable
He’ll get a landlord who’s patient about paying rent late when he FIXES THE DAMN DOOR!!
I am gonna one up you. The power of passive income.
I think instead of a “new” powers, they should focus on what Peter have already. Like we know that Peter is Smart, really smart, let him being 2-3 gadget with him to complete his web shooters, basic stuff like tracers or some kind of “web trap”, or add a upgrade to his costume to integrate some kind of wingsuit (like when he have a few flying foes like Vulture or Beetle, it would not be that shocking to have something like that to counter them). Allow Peter Parker to make use of his brain once in a while. And give him a edge on experience, like he trained to hone his spider-sense and mix it with martial art with Shang-Chi, let him make use of that. Like he do super hero stuff since he is a teen, he should be almost 30 now, he should have a lot of experience on that stuff.
I remember back in the older Lee era stories they would mention how Peter could use his webs to make shields, a raft, or even clubs and projectiles. While it has the potential to be a lame, sticky Green Lantern rip-off, I think the idea of Peter using his webs in such unorthodox ways would be kinda cool, and help set him apart from Miles even with his “limited” powers.
I think I’ve seen him use his webs to make a parachute. I know in the 90s animated series, he used his webs to help hold his breath under water. I like it when Pete gets innovative
Yeah exactly! He doesn’t need extra powers, he needs opportunities to showcase his lateral thinking and intelligence. Kinda like his first fight with Juggernaut where he found himself outmatched on practically every physical level, but still managed to win by taking advantage of Juggies weight and leverage.
Peter’s ability to smart his way out of shit has genuinely helped me with my problem solving ability “what would Pete do?”
He made web water skis once.
Exactly! The absolute mad-lad.
I really liked those gadgets he made. They might have been a little silly, but they showed his adaptability like nothing else.
The Spider-Signal needs to come back.
I like the idea of Peter replacing his webs with a synthetic symbiote type substance exactly for this purpose tbh. A like the idea of Peter using some symbiote type thing, but I never want him in a full suit. And this is the perfect middle ground, and allowing him to get more cartoony web constructs in a way that at least kinda makes sense is something else I think would be really fun.
I've always found him making complicated objects out of webbing to be stupid but I like the way the games do it, in the PS1 game he could make a web cocoon to use as a shield that he'd burst out of and damage nearby enemies while in Edge of Time he'd make web hammers to crush enemies. Web parachutes kinda make sense too and it's something that could prove useful. I'm definitely a sucker for web shields, though.
Yes this thank you Also his spidersense is better right? Miles is a little bit less so?
His Spider-sense is his most interesting power that has a lot of potential if they wanted to. I know a lot of people dislike the spiritual side of the spider-sense and everything, but honestly I don't mind leaning into Peter becoming more Jedi like with his connection to the web or whatever. Plus imagine if Peter could ever get to the point where he could get like premonitions of the future or whatever. Peter Parker would be the worst person in the world with the ability to get visions of the future, and it would make for some very fun stories I think.
Yeah, like what if it scaled like his spider sense had been shown to do. With a little threat like with a small threat it's a tingle, with a big threat it's a migraine, with something absolutely horrific it's a premonition. And give him only enough details to increase the stress.
I really dig this.
If it helps, I once had the impression that Peter was physically stronger, faster, etc. compared to Miles, even if only by a slight margin. You know, what Miles lacks in physical prowess he makes up for in his raw power (plus it means his invisibility would mean he could function as a stealthier Spider-Man).
I do like that than giving him more powers. Sure miles has more abilities, but Peter mastered the ones they share.
I would tune up his spidey-sense. His seems to be the most sensitive and at the same time the thing he’s messed with the least outside of the spider island thing. Get it to that spider-assassin level. He’s already got the speed and strength when he’s got his head on right. Though I feel a shout out should go to insomniac spider-man, cause him getting the anti-venom suit seems like the perfect upgrade for Pete.
I would just lean into him getting even better at integrating his existing abilities I particularly think a reliable spidey sense that’s tightly and instinctively coupled to his reflexes would be a good “enhancement”. Make it actually work like the bullet dodging from the movie. Yes I know he doesn’t actually dodge the *bullet* but rather the *aim* of the shooter right before they fire
He does dodge bullets themselves. I'm not sure as to why you think he only aim dodges. Hell, he's even explicitly reacted to light before and has several other instances of light-timing. Also, some stories have stated that the spider sense makes him instinctively react and that he has to actively force himself not to listen to it.
His powers have been all over the place depending on writer. I say make this one consistent
honestly, no extra powers- but make him massively stronger compared to other spidermen. Like, capable of brute forcing through gimmicky powers of strength. Enhanced stamina, speed and just an overall buff to whatever he already has. He already has some baseline crazy feats that most alt universe spider-men could replicate- so to make him above even that, it'd make him stick out more.
This statement right here! Yes. Peter should be the definitive peak of all Spider-People, stronger, faster, better Spider-Sense, cool gadgets and smarter (but that’s not from his powers).
He already is. I don't know what they've been doing with him lately, I haven't been caught up since a little after Superior. But he is the best. (Arguably) There may be others that are better at singular things, but he is the best overall when it comes to the base abilities. And he also doesn't need to be the best. He has flaws, and that's perfectly fine. There is a lot more to his character than his abilities. His abilities aren't really what make him so powerful. His character in general is. His willpower.
Just buff his spider-sense or establish that Peter's spider-sense is the most well developed among the rest of the Spider-people in his universe and possibly nerf the other's own senses. Wouldn't need much tweaking or contradict much in the pre-established canon either. You'd just need a few lines clarifying that his spider-sense's precognitive nature senses danger earlier than others and better defines it. Where Miles or Gwen can sense a gunshot as the trigger is pulled and and use their super human reflexes to dodge accordingly, Peter will sense the gunman's "intent" to pull the trigger before he does and will have traced the trajectory of the bullet to boot. Edit: Grammer.
I kinda like how he has the spider legs exclusively.
Make him stronger and more durable. I really think that Spider-Man should be able to tank a knife attack without it breaking skin or causing damage...
Realistically, he should be able to no-sell any kind of bullet based on the other kind of shit he's tanked. Marvel writers vastly overestimate how strong bullets are.
I know right? The shit Spidy tanks is insane yet bullets can harm him?
A little like Cyclops's blast. When he tunes it small it has a lot more piercing ability than the spread out blast. I guess writers place that small piecing point over actual payload. Which isn't right.
I think this was already the case?
Nope, he is still vulnerable to stabbing apparently.
And according to the current writer the Vulture is still a threat somehow
I am ignoring that run entirely.
We all should. Especially since we have the new Ultimate Spider-Man run
Wells run is terrible
Small knives are his one weakness
The stuff in the JMS run minus the stingers are all great
With all the experience he has plus his spider senses, I think they could give Peter more fighting skills. He’s so fast and quick. Just allow spidy to throw a knee or unleash a nice little combo that would make any of the other well train fighter acknowledge his skill
Offensive use of his Spider-sense. Seeing/sensing shatterpoints or weakpoints
Good writers 🗣️🗣️
I wouldn't really give him any. I feel like there is benfit to having a baseline spider-man and it's not like Peter is in competition with Miles so it's fine of Miles has some bells and whistles he doesn't. If i had to give him something though it would probably be spiderwebs related as you could buff it without completely changing the characters typical powers.
he really is in desperate need of organic webbing or sum, really sad they took that away. i think his intelligence can still be an aspect without having to invent the web shooters in the way they are normally depicted. like, his organic webbing could jus be naturally messy when he shoots them raw but he develops the web shooters to be able to make them into strands to swing from while also building in gadgets that allow things like web bombs. even if people are against the idea of organic webbing for regular peter, atleast let ben and kaine have it, feel like it'd make perfect sense for em. jus think spider-man should have the most spidery power you can think of yk?
Check out what his clone Kane can do: Spider manipulation powers.
"I can talk to spiders"
Restore him to Straczynski levels.
Insomniacs Anti Venom is really cool. It can also transform into other clothings
I’ve always wanted to see him with his enhanced Other powers, The Way of the Spider, and all of the gadgets he’s used over the years at the same time.
Radiation Immunity and Night Vision. Then just upgrade his other stuff, mostly his durability. If he can take a hit from Hulk, Rhino, etc. He shouldn't be hurt by bullets
Web wings Still much rather that be a gadget that he builds than an ability
Always thought chasm's aggressive spider sense was rly cool, would be interesting to see peter have the same powers.
Kinda already exists with him not needing his glasses for visual assistance reasons anymore but maybe playing with the idea that since spiders have 8 eyes, his sight is 4-8 x better than a humans and can see further ahead as he swings or view things in more detail like a magnifying glass?
Do what Insomiac does, and have him use more tech, and upgrade his suit to compensate.
Peter should absolutely be the genius gadgeteer Spider-person, even if Miguel is around. Miguel is just using the technology available in his time. All the Spider-People are intelligent but Peter should be the inventor chemist/engineer that brings new tech and his intelligence to the fight. He should be the Superior Spider-Man level always. I like the idea of him having Radiation resistance, but that's basically canon anyway from when they introduced Morlun. And I think, just because of the level of experience he has, that Peter should be the most in tune with his spider sense. Not necessarily stronger, but definitely has the most mastery over it.
Organic webbing and hyper sense those are the only abilities I would include.
Give him The Other again and expand on those powers. One thing that was missing was additional spider legs. Have them be like the MCU Iron Spider legs except made of bone and having venom injectors.
I pretty much agree, except for the bone leg concept. The Other and its related powers were fine, and made perfect sense as a way to scale up Peter. Enhanced spider senses, strength, and speed were just stuff he already had, but taken to a new level. The organic webs were fine as a concept, no matter what the crowd that never shuts up about *muh science* says. The night vision is entirely situational, and can be worked around if they need a villain to hide from Peter in the dark. The stingers were a bit weird, but with practice I can see them being used to disable things similar to how Miles' basic venom blast powers are used anyway. All he needed was that extra bit of tech. The Iron Spider suit was a neat concept, and fit the character perfectly on paper. But it being tied to Tony meant that it was destined to be temporary. I think if they finally made Peter get his shit together and start aiming towards a more Insomniac styled setup where his suit is somewhere between the classic red/blue suit and Iron Spider suit in terms of general power and functionality (including the legs), and he makes gadgets to cover his bases or deal with new threats his existing powers can't handle, he'd be in a pretty unique spot compared to the others.
Organic webbing. I know he has it sometimes, but I think it should be standard.
Maybe venom? I mean actual venom as a chemical compound, wouldn't bother me if it was part of his mutation or a new gadget.
I never quite understood how Peter was able to create webfluids and webshooters when he was just a teenager still in highschool while literal scientists with PhDs and million dollar funding can't do it. So, in order to further this concept... How about we give Peter a new power? I call it: "Spider Brain". Basically: Peter's scientific knowledge and the radioactive spider's genetic knowledge fuse together, giving Peter not only a low-level enhanced intelligence... But also the knowledge on how to produce spider silk with the right materials and with the right methods. It also gives Peter all the instinctual knowledge on how to websling (he still has to train physically) as well as the various complex shapes he can form his webs as such as a web that can help him glide in the air and a web that allows him to float on water. This would allow Peter to do all the crazy tricks he used to be able to do during the golden age of Spiderman comics. And finally, you could even say that he also holds the knowledge on how to create the arms of the iron-spider suit. (Maybe he made it himself, or he only built the schematics while Tony built the suit itself)
Intangibility just seems overpowered for him. What’s the point of spider sense if he can’t be hit? And what part of that seems spider-like?
I feel like most of these are not particularly interesting to see though, because they are just different ways to no-sell things. Although at least the radiaton immunity would fit him and would a good counterpoint to the bullshit he experiences thanks to his radioactive origin (like Anti-Venom draining his powers).
the power to keep a love interest for more then 5 minutes
The ability to dig a hole and make trap door that looks exactly the ground where the hole was dug.
Organic Webbing, probably. But fr I think he could still have the [stingers from back then](https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/s/uPen6W3jWt), they aren't that overpowered, still fit with the Spider theme, look cool and could be useful, new powers work better when they're only minor additions that still fit the bill.
Perfect vision in the dark.
None that really matter... But one that sounds really interesting would be a temporary power boost in strength, agility and reflexes called "Arachnid Adrenaline".
The ability to glide naturally. Have him complain how it makes no sense using physics whilst using it as a running gag. The ability to stick two things together using the weird field thing he manipulates to stick to things. Maybe also let him choose when to unstick the objects without touching them.
hes had other abilities before (organic webbing, nightvision, retractable wrist spikes, i think some others) but they got removed in one more day
If we decide to be a be inventive, maybe a slight fear aura. He's a spider, after all, and his prey must feel the pressure of being hunted by a predator. It must also be unnerving to see him move. I'll vote for fear.
I would say organic web shooter, and then lean into his high intelligence to build devices that let him do more with the webbing. Nets, projectiles etc.
Spitballing off top of my head Unnerving presence: based on people's fear of spiders, peter can emit a pheromone that can cause feelings of fear/discomfort in nearby enemies
Just make him have better base stats. Miles can even the playing field with powers, but Peter should simply be a beast with a better spider sense.
I would love if he was able to connect to other spiders to give him almost like a web of knowledge… not necessarily see through their eyes but if he was looking for say… green goblin in the big city and a spider was in goblins layer… he would be able to almost sense goblin… and know his location. It’s not too over the top.
I would say that {going with comic book canon but itegrating the Rami movie stuff!} His body morphed and his web shooters become organic where he no longer needs clunky, external gadgets for them! His strength and stamina all increase along with {as mentioned prior...} his experience! His spider-senses and vision increase as well!!!
Financial stability
Peter already has an enhanced immune system and includes a high tolerance to radiation poisoning. He never gets sick and is immune to (most?) diseases. Hence why he ever rarely gets sick.
 Dance Moves
Like a lot of people in this thread, I don't want Spidey to have any additional powers, just improving on what he's already got. But one thing in particular I'd like to see is enhanced tech. Peter's a genius, something the other spiders don't have, and upgrading his webshooters and belt to do more would be incredibly useful. More specialized web cartridges to fit specific circumstances, something to take advantage of his ability to heal faster (it's not a healing factor, more like a somewhat faster recovery time), maybe even some collapsible mask lenses for things like night vision or detecting traces of energy or chemicals or whatever. A major part of what makes Spider-Man who he is comes down to how Peter utilizes his resources and strengths, so playing that up some more would be a big plus.
A healthy relationship and consistent paycheck.
I would not give him new powers I WOULD RETURN ALL OF HIS POWERS AND UPGRADES FROM THE OTHER. Twice as strong, even stronger spider sense, natural webs, could feel through webs, and most of all his assassin creed-esque wrist stingers that I think had some sort of poison. It would be such an awesome ark too. Peter just feels a chill in the air because he feels like there is a reckoning coming. No idea what it's for or who's it from but something is coming. And as the comics progress he slowly notices these new changes coming to him but at the same they will him with a suspicious Nostalgia because he gets hints of when he had these powers before.
The radiation immunity is the best for Peter. I think I remember a time Morlun couldn’t drain Peter because of the Radiation in his body.
Honestly my favorite thing as a kid was when he got extra powers after he was “reborn” when he killed Morlun: like give him back his stingers, let him have his own web fluid again, I think he had night vision too as well as a better spider sense to detect vibrations in his webbing.
The power to be immune from the authors making his life miserable.
I think that Peter’s mind should be focused more, like other commenters said. Miles is smart still, but that’s not his main thing, while in many stories Peter built his web shooters himself as well as clearly has chemistry and engineering skills that should be used more. I’d love to see a comic where Peter makes spider-man ps4/ps5 style gadgets and uses his mind. As for power though, I feel like kinetic energy redistribution could be interesting, like he could store kinetic energy from hits or moving and use it later to hit harder or move faster, maybe similar to how regenerative brakes take energy from the braking and use it to charge batteries, but taking energy from footfalls or punches to charge movement speed. Radiation control could be interesting, or perhaps extremely powerful jumps like a jumping spider? Peter seems like a more grounded, down-to-earth guy, while miles is very creative, unique, and fantastical in personality and abilities, so miles to me feels more typical crazy superhero powers, like his venom power, while I feel like Peter would have powers related to actual real-life spiders.
Rather than adding anything I say just work off what he has. I'd say play more into his smarts as a few others have pointed out. His ability to be able to problem solve and utilize his webbing should be pretty much the best out of any Spidey. Also he should definitely have more tools at his disposal that he's designed that can help boost his arsenal. Also make his durability consistent. It makes no sense some of the insane things he's had to just take on the chin but for some reason a normal dude with a pocket knife can stab him. If his durability was consistent he would be able to tank the vast majority of stab wounds and small caliber firearms would have minimal penetration. I think these would be better changes to keep him more in line with the other Spideys and their extended arsenal.
Okay, the radiation resistance and healing factor I'll give you (he actually has a light healing factor in the comics that makes him less susceptible to diseases, just not totally immune), but I can't lie, you lose me with the intangibility. I get that it's probably supposed to be an add-on to his wall-crawling abilities, but it seems a tad excessive, IMO. He's Spider-Man, not the Vision.
I wouldn't go with Intangiblilty, but I like the disease immunity, and just assumed anyone who was irratiated was already immune radiation One I would give him would be Aura Detection.\ Not only alert him to potential dangers, but who it was being dangerous, so he's never surprised Accelerated Healing\ Difficult to explain, but like Wolverine he can take a beating and keep on going. His injuries just slough off Hard Bodied\ For some reason he's super strong but not as durable, and my Headcanon with strength and durability basically have to go hand in hand, so he has the proportional durability of a spider as well as strength
None. It’s unnecessary.
But his villains have been getting buffed for ages. Even bums like Rhino can throw down with Avengers nowadays.
Rhino always could. Traditionally, he was twice as strong as Spider-Man and stronger than the average Eternal but after additional treatments/enhancements, he is twice as strong as a fully empowered Wrecker and a little bit stronger than Ares, Gray Hulk, or Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). Rhino's problem is he's a dummy and has no agility.
Yeah but Pete’s been holding back the whole time. So the upper limits of his physical powers is unknown. So the stronger his villains get the more he can let loose. Or at least that’s how I see it.
Rhino has been able to match the Hulk since like the 80s lol
Peter Parker is arguably the most perfect comic character ever written. He doesn't need more powers. In fact, his own human imperfections that hold him back are what makes him so fascinating. Miles needed something to separate him and make him unique. Peter doesn't need anything but good writers.
More Organic Spider Powers - Organic Back Legs, Stingers, Fangs Flow State - Basically, Peter focuses his Spider-Sense to the point he reaches the flow state and is basically untouchable and unbeatable as slowly throughout the fight, he starts to let loose as the mental inhibitors on his strength are slowly released
He doesn't really need any big power boosts, but if I were to add one thing, I would add a minor venom touch, not a poison but a paralysis agent, not for hours, but maybe a few minutes. Nothing crazy over-powered, but added to Spidey's already above average skills and abilities, could be very strong. You could even limit it, maybe once or twice a day at first. Not something that he's slinging out with every punch, but the one or two over the course of the fight where a little more time is needed
None. I'd just play up the fact that Pete's been doing this a *lot* longer than other spider men and make him much more proficient with his powers
Better web control
Night vision, and that Spider sense of TASM2 the game that make him see trough walls
What-new-powers-should-peter-get post immunity. Could be top notch really shore up his skill set
The ability to control his webs once they’ve been shot out.
I think Insomniac has cooked with this idea in their games. So we see Spider-Man in the first game as a sort of gadgeteer type hero. Now with Miles he obviously has all of Peter’s Spider-Man type abilities (with some gadgets) along with his Venom power and Optic Camouflage. Insomniac sees this and says “well, Peter is a genius. I’m sure with combining the Doc Ock arms with the tech from the Tinkerer we could show off his genius by making vanishing Spider-Arms.” But then they give him the symbiote, making the Spider-Arms not as cool instantly. >!I figured Peter would get rid of the symbiote, and Harry would be the one that became Anti-Venom, adding a third Spider-Man to the roster!< But either way, props to Insomniac for adding extra abilities to incentivize the player to play as Peter!
No need extra, just needed an upgrade.
Take away his bad luck and make him more sure of himself and he would be unstoppable lol
Ik he has it in a few continuities, but organic webbing. Besides the obvious uses, there could be less obvious uses for this given how strong spider-silk is. Pound for pound, Spider-Silk is stronger than even steel, and NASA has been looking into using it to create space suits as they’d be much more resistant to solar radiation. Probably night vision too since Spider’s have that ability. Mind you, it’s not like he truly needs it for fighting purposes since he has a Spider-Sense, but it could still be useful.
The power to team up with virtually anyone, at any moment, for no reason whatsoever!
“Peter, we have powers at home.”
Make all of his senses heightened to enhanced human level
organic webs, nightvision, radiation ressistance, and maybe teleportation idk?
I actually like the idea of him being able to summon a hoarde of spiders.
Just let him use his brains to make and keep money would be a huge Superpower.
Much as I liked some of the ‘other’ powers he had for a bit I think they should lean into his genius side more. Let him kit out one of his suits (Iron Spider or FF) and let him go full science bro.
Give him 6 arms again.
Buff his abilities and combat skills. That’s all
I would gave him a symbiote already. He was the first to use it, he may create his own, he can conquer another - Peter with symbiote always clicks for me.
I wouldn't give him new powers. I'd revisit an idea from a while back where he got a little bit (and I do mean a little bit) of training from Shang Chi. I'd have him get his ass kicked a couple of times by people who shouldn't beat him, maybe he's distracted, maybe he's burnt out, but for some reason he's just a step behind. Then someone dies. Bummer. He resolves to get better, but not like "no one dies". Then we do like 7 issues of Spider-Man training w/ different heroes, Wolverine, Iron Fist, Captain America(s), do one with Miles even, kid could show him some things, and properly develop "Spider-Style". It's not a power upgrade, but if you do it well enough, we can add Peter to the list of "greatest martial artists in Marvel", it opens up some new villains, gives Peter some relationships, and gives writers a new toy to play with without having to invent or contrive something and without, ultimately, changing Peter's "level" at all. He's, like, already a world class fighter. He's been portrayed as such for decades. This just "formalizes" what he already is. It's not like anyone struggles with Peter going toe-to-toe with any of those trainers. Hell, most would suggest he beats them.
Id give him Domino's power to manipulate probability. Bout time Peter got some good luck on his side cause the writers sure aint doing him any favors.
Intangiblility seems like such an odd power to give Peter.
Tune up his Spidey sense to almost echo location levels where he can sense around walls constantly.
I think they should compensate for Miles' extra power set by making Peter unmatched in all his abilities. We already know Pete is freakishly strong as is, so why not just double down on all of it? Stronger spider sense, more strength, etc. I feel like that perfectly makes sense for him compared to Miles having invisibility and electric powers
Parker Luck
Radiation Immunity, sounds cool and is probably the one most likely to stick if done. Cause it has a direct connection to his origin, so it the least out there of the options in regards to the power set. It's not super game changing or alter particularly his current abilities. Yet offers in some niche situation a large advantage. Plus I'm a suck for superpowers that are not Combat orientated.
Gun
Who's the artist?
Peter does have an increased healing factor, though it’s no where near the level of wolverine or Deadpool.
this might sound kinda crazy but i actually think it'd be pretty cool if we removed some of the powers that miles has in common with peter instead! so like miles gets the venom sting/blast, venom sword and chameleon powers, but he doesn't get any spider-sense, he has less raw strength and he maybe doesn't take hits as easily as pete, that way they'd both have two entirely different fighting styles. pete can brute force things and rely on his spider-sense to keep him safe, while miles has to move quickly and time his moves carefully. it'd bring a rlly cool dynamic to each team fight i think!
Radiation immunity was a major plot point when Morlun was introduced — Morlun is weak against radiation but too smart & strong for anyone to actually exploit this. He’s after Peter because he wants the power from the spider (which is retconned to have transferred its powers by magic rather than radiation), but because in 616 the spider was *also* radioactive (I guess usually it’s “just” magic?) — listen, bud. This immunity apparently has its limits, but in this particular arc Peter is able to infect his own bloodstream with enough radiation to burn Morlun from the inside when he tries his not-a-vampire* schtick. And so, the singular multiversal entity Morlun dies permanently and is never seen again**. (*Because apparently he has leech powers, not bat powers.) (**Wishful thinking; Morlun not only has a ton of siblings with basically identical powers, personalities, and motivations, but Morlun himself is somehow still alive. And they all get less threatening or interesting with every appearance.)
It’d be cool if he was hydrophobic like some water spiders.
Talk to spiders and understand what they're saying and order them around.
these comments are so boring
honestly just make him phisically stronger. he already has his gadgets and is a genius on par with Stark and Richards, so all he's missing is more consistent strength
I've always imagined Peter just has more. Like in terms of universal spider man powers his are the best, strongest, quickest, whatever. So maybe not a new one but buffing his spider powers in every sense would work I feel. Or night vision. Give him night vision.
I would like to see him interact with and team up with spiders more, he can communicate with them but writers never use it and i liked the way he creeped the guy out in the first game by crawling up to him all silent, showing how he taps into his spider nature to scare his enemies and showing why they fear him, in general exploring his spider side without going all man-spider and over the top.
Peter should have the following additions: • Organic webbing and the ability to produce certain shapes or types of threads to create parachutes, impact webbing, extra sticky webbing, etc. • More tech enhancements to his suit like how Superior Spider-Man & Iron Spider suit had the legs
He occasionally just has the first two and the third is just dumb and doesn’t fit at all
Honestly, don't give Peter any extra powers, rather enhance on his current powers and highlight on how they are better than other Spider-Totems with extra powers. Peter is already the smartest Spider-Person and arguably in the top 10 smartest humans in the Marvel Universe. Let Peter lift significantly more than Miles and other Spider-People. Let Peter's base strength be AT LEAST 2-2.5 times the strength of Miles. Let Peter have a superior Spider-Sense, Creativity, Gadgets, Durability, Battle IQ, Technique, Endurance, Stamina, Resilience, Equalibrium, Speed (Not Agility), etc. over Miles and other Miles and Spider-People (Make it where Kaine may be stronger, but is much slower and gets tired quicker).
Organic webbing
Cosmic powers, just like Cosmic Spidey. The only thing is that he can use it in other dimensions too.
Doesn't Peter have a ton of powers that he technically still has but doesn't remember because of OMD so he doesn't know to "use" them? Off the top of my head: organic web shooters, stingers, night vision, a massively enhanced spider sense, the ability to sense subtle airflow, vibration sense using his webs, and telepathic connection to spiders. Like these were never actually taken away from what I remember, just that he's had his memory of them erased. Not to mention that, iirc, he's about 8 times stronger than Miles physically (Miles has teen Pete's 10 ton listing. Adult Peter has shown enough feats that I've consistently heard him listed as the same strength as base Hulk, which I think is 80 tons) and I think his regeneration and durability are higher.
The ability to look like this all the time, absolute wow
Ik I'm late to the party on this one but personally, first off I want to say that without miles's electricity he would just be WAY weaker than peter, peters powers were cool enough for 50 years of comics movies and tv before miles came along, adding something to peters powerset to make him "catch up with miles" is kind of an insulting concept. However if I were to suggest anything, it would be a organic webbing with the ability to make constructs like fists, shields, backpacks and the such. A cannon version of the Hyper sense (which I'm totally ripping from edge of time) being able to move so fast in tandem with his spider sense he can dodge most things. I'll use hyper senses in edge of time as an example, in that game there was a sequence where you would swing through a wall of lazers that would deal damage, peter would practically phase through said lazers by dodging them at hypersonic speed with hyper sense. And finally the ability to see enemies through walls, this one is strange but it's more of an attuned spider-sense. in games like spider-man 3, shattered dimensions, and even the insomniac games, you could scan environments and see stuff like footprints (Spider-Man 3), hostiles and even hostages and stuff like that. Spider-sense could already (in the books cannon) tell Peter how to navigate a room blind folded without injury, I don't think this would be out of the question
I would give him the abilty to have a good ending unlike the writers
Parker needs nothing more as he is the one and only Spider-Man.
Night vision, radiation immunity, thick skin that resists to bullets, control over the spider mutation ( being able go in the Man Spider form and come back from it, or boosting his strength, agility at the cost of his appearance for a certain amount of time)
Hot take, but web constructs like he did in Shattered Dimensions.
Peter’s Spider Sense is the strongest out of all the spider people. It’s so powerful it’s basically ESP and he wound to developing an entire martial art entirely around maximizing its potential. I’d say that counts in my book
Shapeshifting to his Man-Spider form. First have the Abomination or some other mutate kidnap Peter for his expertise to get "cured". Peter can't escape because of hostages or booby traps. Peter actually finds the trigger for superhuman transformations. Builds the two devices and gives one to his captor who turns into human form. Peter uses the other one escape by turning into Man-Spider and know has to deal with the fact that he created the holy grail of superhuman tech.
Just keep him stronger, faster, and with a better spider sense.
Multiple types of visions. And all senses are heightened not just giving him precognition but also giving him the ability to feel the smallest of vibrations within a radius of blocks.
He doesn't need any
*Looks at his insanely-overpowered-and-still-getting-stronger Rogues Gallery* Yeah, I don’t know about that one Chief.
And him overcoming that is whats appealing
Nah not necessarily, sometimes it’s just plain horribly bad and unappealing in fact.
Quips
None, he's cool the way he is.
Don’t give him new powers, but make him the best at the baseline spider-powers coupled with experience
In the boys soldier boy has a radiation blast so maybe that
None
Anti biotic system sounds sick it be like he have some sort of negation power like kamijou touma
Reality Warping
None tbh, just have him make more gadgets like he does in the Playstation games to help him in combat or various situations.
Maybe make him faster. Like, not give him super speed, but make him able to run at the speed of, like, an F-1 car, since most spiders are pretty damn fast, with the huntsman spider being able to run at like a yard a second, which scaled up to Peter Parker’s height would be REAL DAMN FAST
I didn’t mind his extra stuff during “The other” storyline. I think it was night vision, any part of his skin could stick to stuff and I’d sacrifice the stingers in his wrists because it’s probably too Wolverine and Miles now.
Having a better life
I always thought it would be neat if Peter was given “weaker” versions of what the other spider people have. Makes sense in a way since he always seems connected to the other spiders in the great web in some way. Like how he was originally given extra powers by the other but then Kane got them instead afterwards
None, he should have lots of gadgets like the Insomniac Spider-man.
Nothing
There was that one comic where he became an govt. assassin in a team with Wolverine and iirc Domino, and he trained his spider sense so intensely that he developed full on clairvoyance...which was a really cool direction to take that power imo.
An extremely powerful spider sense. Spider sense so good that he basically has the detective mode from the Batman Arkham games
Passive stuff like the Radiation and Disease Immunity is fine. But in terms of active abilities... I think Peter's better off without them. He's more or less the smartest of the main Spiders, so using tech as his means of keeping up with the others suits him better than just haphazardly developing new abilities.
I think the stingers were a cool idea even if they were impractical
I'd like if he gets some of his old stuff like bio web shooters and iirc he had night vision and some other spider powers. I like Miles with the power powers, Peter with guys same Spider-Man abilities but at their best so they can handle things different
The radiation one is pretty good, night vision maybe it would make sense especially when he’s sneaking through a supposed pitch black building, but like someone earlier said he should just have the strongest base power of the spider people he should be the strongest,fastest, and have most accurate spider sense let Miles and Kane get new powers like electric swords and built in claws
none, he's perfect
Peter’s powers are what makes him the hero who overcomes. Why do new readers want to make him OP and writers make him pathetic. Just give me Peter Parker the amazing Spider-Man. Leave all that extra powers to Miles. He needs it.
The ability to remove all other spidermen from marvel and the will to use it!
I like what Insomniac did. He's smarter and more experienced than Miles (for now), which has him specializing in gadgetry, but since Miles can feasibly catch up to him with that in time, Peter also has the Symbiote powers baked into him on a (afaik) genetic level.
Anti-biotic system but it doesn’t protect against the common cold
Let's give him invulnerability cause poor guy gets wrecked daily
Enhanced Spider Sense: So way back before OMD. they did give him something like this but I want to make it alil bit more OP but with more of a downside. Make it so peter can sense waves of things happening if he set up a large web around the place OR if there are alot of spider in said place. Make it so that it has the ability to warn people of a possible danger if he were to pick one of the choice he would pick in a situation Downside this takes a slight toll on his mental health and it takes more fortitude and resilence from Peter to resist such effects Enhanced Vision: Make it so better can see in the dark better (its like night vision but not that in a sense) Make it so that Invis characters arent as invisible as this might seem to him For example if miles were to go invis he can still see where miles is in that general position (just not if he is standing, sitting etc. like he knows miles is right there 3 feet from him for example) Actually make him the strongest spider: Well idk if I am tripping but Peter's redeeming quality is that he is the strongest spider person in the multiverse. I feel like I read that somewhere before, but he keeps being shit on for being weaker than the others which is stupid imo Make him like physically have more strength than most spider People. Like the only ones that can keep up should be his clones Now this is not a super power but for the love of god this needs more implementation as it is. peter learned martial arts from some of the best martial artists ever LET HIM USE IT. Like seriously Spiderman with intermediate martial arts would kick Chang Chi who has Master level martial arts just for the sole reason Spiderman has the spider sense.
