Alex, originally a die-hard Marvel fan, drowned his sorrows in alcohol after being rejected by the campus beauty at his college graduation. Drunk and heart-broken, he crashed his car—and woke up to find himself transplanted into the Marvel Universe as Alex, a classmate of the original Peter Parker. His very presence is destined to tint this cosmos with a brand-new hue. Armed with encyclopedic knowledge of every upcoming plot, Alex makes sure the radioactive spider bites him first. From that moment on, the Marvel Universe welcomes an all-new Spider-Man. Determined to rewrite every future tragedy, this fan-turned-hero vows that when Thanos the “giant purple potato” invades, the Mad Titan will learn a lesson he never saw coming.
