This is something fans either love or hate, but there is a supernatural side to Peter Parker's powers which the movies have yet to explore. Tying into the concepts mentioned in the previous slides, the idea is that the radioactive spider that bit the teenager was created by science, but destined to pass its amazing abilities on to the boy who would become Spider-Man.

This revelation would see the webbed warrior battle a number of mystical enemies, discover he had stingers in his wrists, and even develop a bond with the spiders around him.

It may sound a little silly, but it was this that deepened the Spider-Man mythos, while also providing a fresh take on the character that would ultimately lead to the creation of the Spider-Verse. Marvel Studios has never touched on how their Peter Parker became a superhero, so taking things down the mystical route would be a major change for the iconic character.

It's also an idea which would lay the groundwork for a lot of big stories in future, with the introduction of Ezekiel (another mentor of Peter's who had gained spider powers through magic) and the "Other" two ideas Marvel Studios could perfect on screen.
