History Fanfic / AmazingFantasy

''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/amazing-fantasy-my-hero-academia-spider-man.703948/ Amazing Fantasy]]'' is a Manga/MyHeroAcademia[=/=]ComicBook/SpiderMan crossover story written by Creator/TheInfamousMan of ''Fanfic/JustAnUnorthodoxThief'' and ''Fanfic/ADifferentKindOfTruth'' fame. Taking inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', it follows Izuku's road towards becoming his world's version of Spider-Man with Peter Parker as his mentor and all of the repercussions that come with it.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Numerous characters, such as Hanta Sero and Kyouka Jirou, appear earlier than in-canon thanks to Izuku's changed-up training schedule and Peter's presence in the story.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The side-story "Musutafu 2099" basically runs on this. The "good guys" of the setting are the Resistance who's run by [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 Doctor Doom]] who basically just wants to establish his own worldwide dictatorship and the Omni subdivision who regularly employ PoliceBrutality. On the other hand, they are also facing [[MegaCorp Alchemax]], which is run by All For One and has utterly wrecked the planet and ruin lives on a whim. Kyouka Jirou is Spider-Woman and is resisting against the system, but she might be just a pawn in both players' schemes.

* CrankyLandlord: Peter's landlord, Ditkovich, sends the bill in big sharpie marked, ''"WHERE'S MY MONEY PARKER!"'', and generally doesn't seem to have much patience for Peter.

* ForWantOfANail:
** The story begins when Izuku decides to turn down an alleyway out of curiosity instead of the shady underpass he walked under in the original manga. As a result, he has a run-in with the Prowler, gets bitten by the spider, is hospitalized, and gains the powers of Spider-Man. He never meets the Sludge Villain or ever learns All Might's secret. All Might ends up finding a successor first and passes down One For All to them, but secretly muses that he would've loved to hand his Quirk to Izuku when they meet.
** Peter never joined the Pro-Reg side in the superhero civil war and ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' never happened. As a result, May eventually dies of old age, Peter is a father, and he and MJ are divorced due to the stresses of his superheroing.

** Peter's narration of his version of ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' is one long jab at how stupidly both sides acted and how poorly something like it would fly in reality.

* HeroismWontPayTheBills: Peter earned a mere $1,000 every two weeks as an Avenger, but this is partially because of his unwillingness to get most of his income from the man who began ComicBook/CivilWar. Subverted in Izuku's universe, where being a Hero is a good-paying job and the popular Heroes can earn sponsorship deals, merchandising, and other sources of revenue.

Izuku Midoriya thought he was going to die after he was bitten by a strange spider on his way home from school. After waking from a two-day long coma, he's surprised to find that not only is he fine, but [[HeroicBuild he now has biceps and a six pack]]. Things only get weirder when tiny hairs start growing out of his palms, his [[SpiderSense brain starts tingling whenever he's in danger]], he accidentally [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength destroys his desk]] and [[InASingleBound leaps twenty feet in the air]].

If that wasn't enough, he inadvertently electrocutes a homeless man in a Spider-Man costume who introduces himself as Peter Parker. Now forced to reevaluate everything he thought was possible, Izuku finds a new mentor and a new path towards his dream of becoming one of the world's greatest Heroes as the spectacular Spider-Man!

** The date is said to be 20XX, but the status quo (minus superpowers) is largely the same as the present day thanks to heavy legislation to regulate Quirk usage and the regression of technology in the strife that preceded it. Subtle reminders of the time period pop up here and there, such as the 2,250 foot tall Bespi Tower in Musutafu and how Music/PostMalone is considered "classical" music. Spider-Man himself is considered an "old-school" character despite being one of the most enduring comic book superheroes in real life.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Numerous characters, such as Hanta Sero and Kyouka Jirou, appear earlier than in-canon thanks to Izuku's changed up training schedule and Peter's presence in the story.

** In another universe, [[Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTwoHeroes Melissa Shields]] is the one bitten by the radioactive spider and becomes Spider-Woman. Marvel character and properties like Oscorp also exist instead of being fictional as in Izuku's universe.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Quinten Beck was a special effects expert who created some truly amazing visuals with practical effects and optical illusions, but his methods weren't as cost effective as CGI so the industry gave him the boot.

** Peter is a combination of many different versions of Spider-Man. His troubled family life and age are derived from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. His membership on the Avengers is taken from his comics counterpart. His advanced webshooters and the HUD in his ExpressiveMask are both taken from ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4''. Finally, his status as a father of Mayday Parker is taken from his [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl MC2 incarnation]].
** Izuku is this of his canon counterpart and ComicBook/MilesMorales as depicted in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. He's got the history, motivation, and mindset of his canon counterpart, but his role as Peter's student, his Venom Strike ability, and confusion regarding alternate universes is taken from Miles. Izuku also shares Miles' appreciation for hip-hop in this story, listening to Post Malone and other rappers, who are considered "classical" artists in his time.

* CopKillerManhunt: Peter learns from [[spoiler:Gentle Criminal]] that Pro Heroes in Izuku's world have this mentality among their own. While they accept the risk of death while on the job, if a Villain or criminal makes it personal by attacking an off-duty hero at their personal residence or [[AndYourLittleDogToo targets a heroe's loved one]] for RevengeByProxy, the ''entire'' Pro Hero community would hunt them down like a dog.

** Mysterio was felt he was "owed" money for his special effects work even if they suffered from a case of being AwesomeButImpractical for how expensive they are. Rather than expand his repertoire or seek more cost-efficient methods of producing his work, he turned to supervillainy.

** in "Musutafu 2099", Jirou has been Spider-Woman for years before the start of the story and is resisting the MegaCorp-controlled future of 2099.

* FantasticRacism: Izuku was frequently mocked for being Quirkless. Even when the whole classroom ganged up on him, his teachers did nothing to intervene. When Izuku's spider powers developed, he's given a relatively light punishment of cleaning the boards and desks after school and a few days of detention for bolting out of class. Izuku notes that they probably went easy on him because he had just gotten his "Quirk". After the Prowler incident, he bitterly mentions that the Pro Heroes singing his praises probably would have forgotten all about him if it weren't for his "Quirk".

** Peter never joined the Pro-Reg side in the superhero civil war and ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' never happened. As a result, May eventually died of old age, Peter is a father, and he and MJ are divorced due to the stresses of his superheroing.

* HappilyMarried: Implied, given that Future Izuku insists that his wife is ''fine'' after his teenage self wonders if he has cancer or if his blood is radioactive. Subverted in Peter's case, as he got divorced with MJ after she couldn't take the stress of him risking his life every day as a superhero.

* HijackedDestiny: The nature of One For All's successor is inverted from canon. Izuku doesn't meet All Might in that underpass as he's hospitalized from the spider bite. This gives Sir Nighteye enough time to pressure All Might into making Mirio his successor. However, Izuku and All Might end up meeting anyways during the Prowler incident. The Hero laments that he would have loved to make Izuku the next torchbearer had he not already given away One For All. By the time Izuku arrives at school, All Might shows some clear favoritism towards him even though he's not his protégé.
* IdentifyingTheBody: All Might's civilian identity is called in to identified the body of [[spoiler:Sir Nighteye]] after it's brutally mutilated by Mysterio. He laments that he was the only emergency contact listed and is on the verge of breaking down in tears when Gran Torino arrives to help him process his grief.

* JerkassRealization: During his turn in the Heroes Vs. Villains training exercise, Ida takes the time to wonder why he feels upset that Deku ''thanked'' him for his criticism of his round. He then realizes he'd been holding onto a grudge for Izuku from their first interaction and had been overly judgmental of his fellow classmate.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The X-Men supposedly killed [[spoiler: Mr. Sinister]], but in secret they kept him alive to do their work. This of course without their knowledge, bites them in the butt as [[spoiler: Sinister]] finds a way out of their thumb and even works with Quentin to create a Quirk Mutant hybrid while kidnapping mutants to the X-men's shock.

* PrescienceByAnalysis: Peter mentions that Reed Richards attempted this as part of his support for the Superhuman Registration Act. The problem was that it wasn't peer reviewed and no one else could understand it but him, which destroys Reed's arguments when the SHRA was put on trial. He suffers a falling out with Sue for months afterward.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Izuku's peers at school sucked up to Bakugou out of fear of getting beaten up themselves, letting Izuku be the punching bag and joining in on Bakugou's antics for years. When Izuku gains his spider powers and unintentionally humiliates Bakugou, they immediately drift over to Izuku in hopes of riding off his fame as the Prowler Kid. Izuku is aware of this and declines to hang out with any of his old tormentors.

* ReligionOfEvil: Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage, heads one. Cletus and his ilk worship the god Knull, a primordial being who revels in death and darkness and the creator of the symbiotes. To this end, Carnage recruits {{Serial Killer}}s like himself as well as the downtrodden and insane to turn Earth-2018.688 into one giant offering to Knull. Their efforts are opposed by the Katsuki Bakugou of that world, who has since bonded with the Venom symbiote and is taking down their members one-by-one.

** Izuku inverts this, as his primarily green and white costumes starkly contrasts with the black bodysuit and blue flaming head of Mysterio's robot avatar.

** The teens that stop Izuku to take a picture of him are dead-ringers to Wam and his gang from Anime/DevilmanCrybaby due to their clothing as well as being aspiring rappers.
** The abandoned amusement park Peter’s staying at is called Jakuri Park, which is a reference to Rey’s homeworld from Film/StarWarsTheForceAwakens. This is, of course, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Peter himself.

** Toga listens to [[Music/TheBeatles Helter Skelter]] while leaving the area that Peter defeated the Rocket Racers in.

** [[Music/TheRamones The Ramones’]] cover for the Spider-Man theme song is mentioned, and played, by Izuku.

** Martin Li’s smart table demands Melissa pay five cents for her coffee with cream and sugar’s cost being separated. This is similar to how Joe Chip’s apartment demanded for him to pay before he performed any basic necessities in Literature/{{Ubik}}. The similarities are noted when Martin says his assistant put in the commands from a book she read because she thought it was funny.

** The sidestory "As Above, So Below" is not only inspired by Creator/HPLovecraft, but also by [[spoiler:Stan Uris' suicide in ''Literature/{{It}}'']], by WordOfGod.

** There is an InUniverse show called “Teleporting Party Crasher” that Mount Lady and Toga watch on their down time.

* SkewedPriorities: Disney tried to lobby Congress to further extend its copyright protections over characters like Spider-Man... while the world was teetering on the edge of collapse from the rise of Quirks. Naturally, Disney got ignored in favor of more pressing matters, which let Disney's properties go into the public domain. The House of Mouse has gone on a crusade against people using the image of characters they once owned ever since by making it cultural faux pas.
* SocialMediaIsBad: The Prowler tracks Peter down when people snapped photos of him eating with Izuku and posted them online, allowing her to ambush and nearly kill him. Izuku is wary of doing anything traceable online from then on, choosing to buy things with cash in-person than risk creating any other trails to his mentor.

* SuperheroesWearTights: Many Heroes in the story wear spandex as part of their costumes, including All Might and Peter. In some cases, like Mount Lady's, this is necessity as their costumes are specifically designed to [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper handle their Quirks.]]
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: For some reason, Spidey is one of the only superheroes in New York to actually take on street crime, stopping bank robberies and investigating things while the entirety of the Avengers are off stopping an AlienInvasion or some other ApocalypseHow scenario. Lampshaded, of course.

* TrainingMontage: The majority of Issue 5, "Learning Curve", is devoted to Izuku learning the limits of his new powers and the ins-and-outs of being Spider-Man, from wall-crawling techniques to building and maintaining his own web-shooters. The montage continues through Issue 6, which has Izuku settling into his new abilities and how "normal" he is now that he's no longer Quirkless.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: During the UA Sports Festival, Izuku shouts "I AM SPIDER-MAN!" to psyche himself up. Unfortunately, Mysterio was watching the broadcast. [[spoiler:Because of his obsession with being the one to kill Peter Parker, Mysterio refuses to let ''anyone else'' bear the mantle of Spider-Man. Hearing that claim, Mysterio orders his Enforcers to dig up every detail about Izuku, his family, his potential crushes, and any friends he might have with the intention of killing '''all''' of them to make Izuku suffer for daring to take name of his ArchEnemy.]]

* WillfullyWeak: Peter has Izuku squeeze stress balls to teach him to control his SuperStrength so he won't apply more force than he needs to. As a result, neither of them bring their full force to bear in most fights because it would severely injure or even kill someone. [[spoiler:Stain finds this out the hard way when Peter enters a state of TranquilFury and punches him so hard that [[MadeOfIron Stain's]] jaw is instantly fractured and partially dislocated. This same blow also tore off a chunk of his cheek and crushed Stain's lips.]]

* WretchedHive: Downplayed. In contrast to the pristine streets around U.A., Mob Eisteiku is the roughest part of town. The streets are filthy, the air is filled with pungent smog, and people are always wary of being mugged. At the same time, most people living there aren't necessarily evil or villainous. They're just Burakumin, people born into families known for handling the dirty jobs that no one else will. Izuku is ashamed at how unnerved he is of the people he's sworn to protect once he becomes a Hero, especially after he learns that Mitsuki Bakugou used to lived there too.

* ProjectileWebbing: The story features the [[Franchise/SpiderMan original web-slinger himself]], who teaches a newly spider-powered Izuku how to make his own web formula and web-shooters.

* CelebrityParadox: The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in its entirety exists in Izuku's world along with the rest of Franchise/MarvelComics. He's utterly baffled when the man he electrocutes introduces himself as Peter Parker, as he's read both the comics and seen the Spider-Man movies. At one point, the two of them sit down to marathon through the films and Peter comments on everything he sees in relation to his Earth.

* ComicBooksAreReal: Izuku's disbelief over getting spider-powers is fueled by the fact that Creator/StanLee, Creator/SteveDitko, and Franchise/MarvelComics exist in his world and Spider-Man is considered decidedly fictional.

* YearX: The story is said to take place in 20XX. By this point in time, artists like Music/PostMalone and Beau Young Prince are considered classical music and skyscrapers top 2,200 feet.

*** On top of that, [[spoiler: The Living Brain]] prefixes his lines with an announcement of what type of sentence he's speaking, much like HK-47 from Bioware's VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic.

* TheCameo: Several major Marvel characters appear in Peter's flashbacks or are mentioned in passing such as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/DoctorStrange, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, and [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]]. Creator/StanLee makes an appearance as the costume shop cashier Seto.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's a perfectly accepted and normal thing to have blue or pink hair in Izuku's universe. Izuku has deep green.

* AbandonedArea: Peter first camps out in an abandoned construction site after arriving in Izuku's universe. He later relocates to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** A frequent complaint in the fandom is, "If Izuku wanted to become a Hero so badly, why didn't he train his [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower mind and body]] like Franchise/{{Batman}}?" Izuku ''has'' thought about doing this, but he's a wimpy, nerdy kid with his own hobbies. It would be unrealistic for him to drop everything and start vigorously training his body like some comic book character when he knew deep down that being a BadassNormal wasn't practical in the long-term on his Earth. He had no clear goal or guide to get him there, as no one wanted to deal with a Quirkless kid. As anyone who starts a diet or intense physical training can attest, it's not easy to start it, much less go through with it, without help.
--->It was sad, really. Considering his dream in spite of his condition. One would think he would devote his mind and body to training, like one of those comic characters of old... [[ThisIsReality But that was fiction. This was reality.]]
** It isn't healthy to try and sleep off a venomous spider bite. Izuku nearly died and went into a short coma even after Bakugou rushed him to a hospital to get him medical treatment.
** Peter's constant absences got him fired from his job as a science teacher at Midtown High and later got him fired from Horizon Labs.
** In the comics, Aunt May was depicted as fairly old and was prone to fainting fits due to her bad health. It should come to nobody’s surprise that she has died of old age when Peter is 47.
** Unlike in the comics, J. Jonah Jameson's Anti-Spidey campaign took has more detrimental consequences for his career:
*** Due to Peter saving the city numerous times and all his other heroic acts, the people of New York began to realize he wasn’t the menace J. Jonah Jameson was trying to cast him as. And because nobody was buying his paper anymore or believing his sensationalism, Jonah was forced to ease up on his hatred to save the Daily Bugle.
*** Even then, the resulting money losses forced him to step down and let Robbie Robertson take his place as publisher.
*** While in the comics J. Jonah Jameson’s articles aren’t questioned in-universe despite being based on his twisting of events, in Peter’s universe Jonah was sued for helping to fuel a police officer’s paranoia of Spider-Man enough to shoot at him from a crowd. After this, Jonah was forced to print a disclaimer at the end of his articles that they are his opinion and shouldn’t be taken as fact.
*** His patronadge for Anti-Spidey measurements got him deeper legal issues: the lawsuits against him by the now-late Mac Gargan and the accusations that he bankrolled Spencer Smyth’s death machines made him practically toxic to the news world, meaning that he couldn’t even get a job at the other newspapers.
*** His reputation was hit so hard, that his radio show Just the Facts has less subscribers than JJJ expected, and most of his audience don't take him seriously according to his grandson (his listeners follow him for amusement, prank-call the station or send him joke gifts of Spider-Man plushies).
** Despite his action-packed lifestyle, Peter is still a 47-year-old who subsists off junk food like burgers and instant ramen because it's all he can afford given his budget and time constraints. As a result, Peter has [[FormerlyFit gotten a bit of a belly.]]
** Despite charging in to save Peter and pull him away, Izuku is not willing to actually fight alongside Peter against the Prowler and quickly becomes a helpless onlooker again. As Izuku himself points out, he's just a kid who would more than likely be killed rather than make a difference in a fight since he has zero combat experience. Peter notes that if Izuku actually was around when she ambushed him, Peter would have to worry about Izuku on top of staying alive.
** Hits Peter’s version of ComicBook/CivilWar like a freight train. The families of superheroes sue the government for the blatantly unconstitutional actions of the Pro-Registration forces. When the courts ruled against the Superhuman Registration Act, the government started an investigation. The Pro-Registration’s inability to convincingly justify their actions and mismanagement causes the Superhuman Registration Act to be declared unconstitutional. The influence of Civil War as a comic made it a de facto manual on how ''not'' to run the Hero system in Izuku's universe.
** In addition to the above, Reed Richard's so-called proven equation for supporting the SHRA fell apart under scrutiny because he insisted that it worked despite the lack of peer review. Anyone in academia knows that unreviewed papers are never going to be published, much less taken at face value.
** Using high-powered equipment without sufficient protection or SuperToughness can end disastrously. The leader of the Rocket Racers finds this out the hard way when Peter tricks him into throwing a rocket-propelled punch into a concrete wall, mangling his hand in the process.
** In "Let the Devil In", Bakugou makes worse choices, including beating Izuku senseless at school in broad daylight. This naturally gets circulated throughout the internet, tanking his chances of getting into U.A.
*** His two lackeys have also lost any semblance of a reputation. Their association with Bakugou gave them respect in their old school, but acting like bullies in their new school without his clout has ensured that they will never be liked by anyone else.
** Peter' explanation about his origins [[CassandraTruth is not taken seriously]] by Naomasa and Endeavor due to how ridiculous it sounds. Despite answering their questions with complete sincerity, they can't believe he is the Spider-Man from other universe. It doesn't help that Naomasa has already experience using his [[LivingLieDetector Quirk]] in delusional people.
*** Which brings the next point: a lie detector is only effective as long as the questioned individual knows he is lying. If the interrogated considers what he says the truth, then there's not a lie to detect. Per example, Naomasa dealt with a domestic abuser in a previous case, and when he questioned the abuser, he answered he was just setting order at home and used violence as a tool to do it.
*** Despite doing a good deed by taking down Stain, he's still handcuffed to his bed and placed under arrest due to committing unlawful acts of vigilantism.
