Flash spider

Game PlanWhen he impersonated Spider-Man to teach Parker to respect the hero, Flash was mistaken for the real thing and imprisoned by Doctor Doom, until the true Spider-Man rescued him. Later, when a humiliating encounter with Green Goblin who had the whole city calling Spider-Man a coward, Thompson donned a Spider-Man costume again and tackled some cheap crooks to restore Spidey’s reputation, but all he got for his trouble was a beating. Shortly thereafter, when another Spider-Man impersonator tried to tarnish the hero’s name with a string of petty crimes, Flash unmasked the culprit as his own friend Jason Ionello, who wrongly blamed Spider-Man for the recent death of their mutual friend Sally Avril, AKA Bluebird, during Spider-Man’s battle with Nathan Garrett, AKA Black Knight. Flash also repeatedly denounced the many anti-Spider-Man tirades by Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson, and one angry confrontation between Thompson and Jameson caused the unwitting pair to foil a plot against Spider-Man by Quentin Beck, AKA Mysterio. Gradually impressed by Peter’s maturity and sick of Flash’s bullying, Liz dumped Flash and began showing strong romantic interest in Peter, which only made Thompson hate Parker even more. When Flash and Peter graduated from Midtown High, both were awarded full scholarships to Empire State University (ESU) for athletic and academic achievement, respectively. By this time, relations between the two had begun to thaw ever so slightly, and they soon became part of a close-knit social circle that included fellow students Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn (son of

All my life, I wanted people to look up to me. Sports star, big man on campus, captain of the football team. But what was I, really? What am I, really? A bully. A killer. I'm no hero but maybe, for once in my lousy life... I can stop thinking about who I want to love me... and who I hate. I can finally stop being scared I'm not good enough. Because I'm not. I'm not a hero. But if I try long enough and hard enough and make amends... maybe someday I might get to be a good guy.—Flash Thompson[source]The history of Eugene "Flash" Thompson of Earth-18139 mirrors that of his Earth-616 counterpart until the point where there was a public exhibition on radiation that irradiated a spider. In this reality, Flash Thompson attended the exhibition and his attendance led to Thompson being bitten by the spider instead of Peter Parker, and gaining the proportionate abilities of a spider. As Spider-Man Flash initially used his abilities as a wrestler known as Spider-Man at RKP Palace. One night, he helped a security guard apprehend a burglar. Flash then decided to use his powers to turn Spider-Man into a superhero, dropping out of Midtown High School to focus on heroics full-time. Despite support from newspaper mogul J. Jonah Jameson, the public became weary of the vigilante due to his violent methods, captured on film by Peter Parker. He returned home one day to find Parker in his trailer. He had come to ask for help obtaining ISO-36, a rare radioactive isotope stolen by Master Planner with the ability to cure his Aunt May's blood cancer. In a fit of rage and jealousy; however, Flash punched Peter across his trailer, accidentally killing him. Horrified by this, Spider-Man went out to prove to himself that he was a hero. He found the isotope, but during the battle with the Master Planner, he destroyed a supporting pillar, causing the building to collapse on top of him. He was able to free himself, and in a moment of clarity, realized he was not a hero, but a bully. He gave the ISO-36 to Forest Hills Hospital to cure May, then gave up his life as Spider-Man by confessing to his crime and turning himself to the police.[1]This version of Flash Thompson bears similarities to his Earth-958 and Earth-78127 counterparts (respectively The Spider and Captain Spider), with each having been bitten by radioactive spiders instead of Peter Parker.1 appearance(s) of Eugene Thompson (Earth-18139)1 appearance(s) in handbook(s) of Eugene Thompson (Earth-18139)9 image(s) of Eugene Thompson (Earth-18139)4 quotation(s) by or about Eugene Thompson (Earth-18139)1 victim(s) killed by Eugene Thompson (Earth-18139)↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 What If?

High with Thompson at the wheel, and made it look as if Flash had been driving drunk. Rendered comatose by the accident, Flash eventually revived but was broken in mind and body, wheelchair-bound, and trapped in a stupor. He was regularly visited by old friends such as Peter, Betty, and Liz Allan, whose wealth provided Flash's housing and medical care. Comatose again for a time, Flash eventually recovered, though slight brain damage had left him partially amnesiac regarding much of his adult life. Becoming Midtown High's new athletics coach, Flash fell back into his old adversarial relationship with Peter Parker, now a teacher there, since Thompson no longer remembered their friendship. Flash also developed a romantic interest in school nurse Miss Arrow, unaware she was secretly the supernatural spider-predator Ero. When Spider-Man's real identity became public knowledge, Flash initially disbelieved the news, then resented it, but finally accepting it he became one of Peter's most supportive friends in his newly public double life. He aided Spidey against foes such as Francis Klum, AKA Mysterio, and Adrian Toomes, AKA Vulture, denounced Deb Whitman's tell-all book about her former relationship with Peter, and even allowed Peter to hide out in his apartment during a period when Spider-Man was declared an outlaw. Flash also started dating Betty Brant again, prompting a series of attacks on Betty by a jealous Ero. When Ero tried to make Flash the host body for her eggs (a process that would have killed him), Spider-Man and Betty came
