3. Trouble
Premise: Meet Uncle Ben and Aunt May as teenagers, growing up alongside their respective siblings, Peter Parker's parents Richie and Mary.
Why It Wouldn't Work As A Movie: Everything about this comic is just wrong. It was written in 2003 after Spider-Man hit at the box office, and the developers hoped that with a renewed interest in the property, these niche comics might do well. All hope of that is obliterated by the litany of continuity issues and controversial plot decisions made by Mark Millar; firstly, Aunt May is portrayed as extremely promiscuous, and ends up getting knocked up by Richie, though Mary agrees to pretend that the baby is hers, so May can live a normal life with her parents, and eventually, Ben. So, yes, in this arc we find out that Aunt May is actually Peter Parker's mother, which upset a
lot of comic book fans, combined with the fact that typically, May and Ben have been considerably older than Richie and Mary, so to set them at the same age seems odd. The basic reason it wouldn't work, though, is that this is really just the stuff of trashy teen novels; there's nothing substantial there, and given how many origin stories of Peter Parker we've already seen on screen, do we really need another, especially about his conception?
