Marvel: The Adaptive Mutant
Ethan Carter was dead. Or at least, he should have been.
One moment, he was an ordinary guy from a world where superheroes were nothing but fiction. The next, he woke up in a cold, sterile lab—inside the body of Ethan Carter, Peter Parker’s childhood best friend. Their souls had merged, their memories had fused, and now he was no longer just himself. He was Ethan Carter, body and mind.
But that wasn’t the only thing that had changed.
Deep within his veins, something new stirred—Adaption. A power that let him evolve to survive anything, but with one catch: it needed time.
Before he could even process what happened, Spider-Man crashed into the lab, desperate to save his long-lost friend. Ethan had been gone for months, taken by forces unknown, and Peter thought he was dead. But now, with no place to go and an uncertain future ahead, Peter and Aunt May take him in, giving him a chance to start over.
As Ethan adjusts to his new reality, he quickly learns that the Marvel Universe is far more dangerous than he ever imagined. With his powers slowly awakening and secrets lurking beneath the surface, he’ll have to navigate this world carefully.
Because in a universe where gods walk among men, mutants fight for survival, and threats lurk in every shadow—adapting isn’t just his power. It’s his only way to survive.
