Finally got around to writing a summary of the Forever Knights

The Forever Knights [+]

The Forever Knights are a centuries‑old secret order obsessed with controlling, weaponising, or eradicating anything they consider “unnatural,” a definition that has shifted with every generation. Originally founded in medieval Europe to hunt dragons and other mythical beasts, the order splintered over time into competing sects, with some focusing on hoarding alien technology and others on purging metahumans, mutants, and extraterrestrials from Earth.
One of their factions, headed by Sir Enoch, was halted five years ago by the efforts of Ben Tennison, with a large group of individuals finding themselves behind bars for their crimes, including Sir Enoch. Due to the nature of this blow, the organisation has since gone underground.

Figured out my backup.

So no Secret, Civil, or miscellaneous wars to speak of. But he fought The Sinister Six several times, while still in High School. He lost Gwen Stacy and Captain Stacy in college. He'd been cloned a time or two by the time he graduated. He took on an alien costume that wound up creating Venom. The city's turned against him multiple times thanks to Jameson and The Daily Bugle. He's married to Mary Jane, they were gonna have a baby, a miscarriage happened, they split up, got back together again. He was a science teacher at one point, a full-blown engineer at another point, and has been making pitifully little money selling photos to Jameson for half his life. And a couple of years ago, Otto Octavius was in control of his body for an extended period. All of this is compacted into 24 years of character history rather than 64 years of comics' history. Point being, this is a Peter Parker that's been tempered by the weight of experience. He's about to turn 40, but he's closer to the end of his career than he is to the beginning. Because of that, he's grown more confident in his abilities as a hero, struggling way less with balancing two lives than he used to. I'm playing with the idea of Peter being the first major superhero NYC ever had, so he's having to contend with the fact that now there's a bunch of superpowered individuals popping up all over the world that might make him redundant. Not looking up at a bunch of older heroes with stars in his eyes, but looking back at a generation he may have helped inspire, wondering if he's done right by them. Which will be reflected directly in characters like Miles Morales, the Spider-Women, and a version of Spider-Gwen, but I want the interactions to have Peter be the guy in the room who's seen and done it all, for a change. One thing I will specify is that I want to stick with the idea that death matters in Spidey's life. That when Norman Osborn got impaled by the glider, or when Harry succumbed to the Goblin formula, or when Aunt May died peacefully at home, they were never undone. Which means that storylines like Sins Past and One More Day couldn't have happened - which is just... so unfortunate, y'know? So unfortunate. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ The keyword in what I want to do is "rebuild". Peter's life has been a chaotic mess for years, and he's only started to get a handle on it again after he and Mary Jane reconciled following The Clone Saga, Superior, and a few other periods that drove them apart. He lost a promising job thanks to Otto test-driving his mind but gained a tenative second chance, Jameson is about to retire and finally get off his back, and all of his big villains are starting to wind down after years of being humiliated by him. So of course, the Parker Luck has to kick back in eventually and he's going to have to be tested. But at this point, that's just business as usual for him. The more startling status quo would be if forces didn't conspire against him and everything he loves. I'm hoping to interact with a variety of characters, since Spider-Man is a very established presence in a world that, so far, doesn't feel like it has alot of those. I'll likely have some solo plots going on, but I'm basically free to cross paths with whoever on the side, as long as they're either in New York or have a very plausible reason for Peter to travel. But a home turf's a home turf, y'know?

This certainly looks interesting! A shame we have to use pre-existing characters, because otherwise the concept of this is absolutely fascinating!
