The many different Peter Parker stories are often consistent in several ways, yet the MCU just confirmed a big Spider-Man origin change.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a retelling of Peter Parker's origin story, but with one key, cosmic twist.

But the most similar origin story to the one shown in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is actually that of Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where he’s bitten by a spider from a different dimension.

After all, the idea that even good people can make mistakes, but those mistakes can drive them to be better, is a really compelling concept, especially for a superhero. Untangling Ben’s death from Spidey’s origin story and removing any culpability Peter might have had then risks robbing the Web-Head of this nuance.
