Ukrainian Red CrossHis name is Andy Macguire? Funny stuff.
Also note how his relationship to his family and faculty is the opposite of Peter.
From Amazing Fantasy#15
Peter's teacher:keep up the good work Parker and you're sure to rate a scholarship when you graduate! Peter:I'll do my best
Compare to Andy's guidance counselor:straight c student. Lousy SA Ts. No extracurriculars.Macguire how do you expect to get to college with this?
Andy:I dunno
This suggest a key difference in their intrinsic motivation.
In other words total bad guy.

This isn't the first time Spider-man had a sidekick, although his last side kick had Superman like power. I'm guessing this one will be more traditional, like Batman And Robin.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture RackNo him getting molested by an older Boy called Skips was referenced in a main Spidey book, so it's canon.
And his Sidekick with Superman Powers was a form of the Super-Skrull as the son of the man who created them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Edwards
Fun fact: the original proposal was that the molester would be Uncle Ben, but thankfully someone in editorial had sense. Also, Mark Millar, in typical Mark Millar fashion, wanted to bring Skip back as a supervillain called "the Buggernaught." Seriously.
Also, Ethan Edwards?
I've heard Millar described more than once as "like Ennis, but without any point."
Strictly speaking, a buggernaught would be someone who never engages in sodomy. Not that Millar knows that.
