have you noticed how it seems like Spider-Man in the comic books can never catch a break whether it's losing Mary Jane to someone else or having his aunt shot it feels like Peter just can't get a good day but did you know that in the comic book Amazing Fantasy which features a collection of short stories about Spider-Man and his adventures this issue is actually addressed we see Peter interacting with Spider-Man from different universes he starts complaining to them about how nothing ever seems to work out for him I mean Uncle Ben dies because of me
then I meet an amazing woman but I screw that up too on top of that a may get sick one step forward two steps back all the time every single day I never win and I'm just not sure how much longer I can take it who is this guy uh it's a Peter Parker traditional spelling the other spidermen listen to him and ask how they can help and Peter tells them that he simply wants things to work out for once he hopes that by sharing their experiences they will help him cope with everything but that's
when the other Spiderman get confused because why would you think we could help you with that uh because we're Spider-Man the hardest working down on our luck heroes in the universe it's kind of our deal right I have no idea what you're talking about what the other Spider-Man starts telling Peter how all of them are actually successful and happy he tells him that one of them just won a Nobel Prize while another just had his third kid this can't be right I mean sure across the spiderverse there has to be a number of me who
don't have such a hard time of it but surely that has to be exception doesn't it maybe it's just the three of you I've honestly never thought about it only one way to find out hey raise your hand if you're generally happy with the quality of your superhero life and that's when Peter notices that every single Spider-Man from the other universes has raised their hand indicating that their lives are going okay Peter is surprised telling everyone that it's impossible however another Spider-Man comes over puts his arms on Peter's shoulders and gently tells him that maybe
the problem is him maybe he's just not cut out to be a Spider-Man yeah maybe you should hang it up or I don't know maybe you should just suck it up and stop whining you know be a real man a Spider-Man but that's when Peter realizes that something is off and asks them if they are messing with him what an idiot did you see his face everyone bursts into laughter and one of the spider-men explains that they all decided to prank him as that's what they do to all first timers so no Nobel Prize oh
I actually won one but who cares I mean they give those things to everyone nowadays and the kids honestly I don't think they're mine what about you arthritis seriously no it's cancer damn relax I'm just kidding it's arthritis after this Peter decides to return to his universe but before he leaves the other Spider-Man tells him that the reason bad things keep happening to him isn't due to bad luck or anything he did it's because you put yourself in the center of the storm every day Peter so complaining about the wind won't do you any good
want to know how long you're going to suffer I think I know of course you do and you'll hold on for as long as it takes for as long as they need you to when you fall you get up every time why because you're Spiderman
