Spider-Man

One thing that Spidey would take some getting used to in the DC comic book universe is actually being liked by the public. He’s so used to being trashed that it would take a while for him to adjust. But it would ultimately help him because it’s one less thing to worry about.

There are also a lot of heroes he could form bonds with. They’d understand him in ways his other peers wouldn’t. Among them would Be Booster Gold. Booster would get the idea of power and responsibility. He’d also get playing the fool despite not being one. The two of them with Ted Kord would make for an entertaining trio. Another advantage to being with them is they’d appreciate his genius more than most.

Spider-Man isn’t much of a team guy. It’s doubtful he’d join the Justice League. Just like the first half dozen times he was asked to join the Avengers, he’d team-up with them if they needed his help, but he wouldn’t be an official member. Two things would change. First, he’d get an all new set of villains. The question is who? Knowing Spider-Man’s luck, he’ll end up in Gotham City or Blüdhaven. Second, Peter would be Batman. Peter would end up punching Bruce for prying into this personal life. Peter hates when people put his family in danger. He’d look at this like an invasion of privacy. Speaking of Batman…
