Peter Parker: Angry Misanthrope!

[starwolf_oakley]

As discussed on the BATMAN: GHOSTS post, Peter Parker was a friendless outcast in high school and became an angry misanthrope in college. It really wasn't until Steve Ditko left and John Romita Sr took over the SPIDER-MAN art that Peter mellowed out



Some of Peter Parker as a bitter misanthrope makes sense. He stresses out over Aunt May, ignores people who try to get his attention, and they think he is "high hatting" them.

Sometimes it seems like Peter Parker hates himself and the world and everyone in it because... reasons? It isn't even Uncle Ben's death.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #38.







This issue had Spider-Man yelling at protesters. Stan Lee changed it to Spider-Man supporting the protesters.

I didnt see Peter come off as overtly ornery seeing as how pretty much everyone save Gwen(? ) acted like complete dicks toward him

Well they live in a world where kindness is for fools and only the great men and their railways will prevail, so I understand where they're coming from.
