ck pb&jj au (or more of my ck x marvel bs)
context: pb&jj is a new popular mcu fanon group comprised of peter parker, joaquín torres, bob reynolds, and johnny storm WHICH are all my fav marvel characters so deal with it
also, like all my other spidermetri au's, this doesn't tie in with the others, this one is more mcu compliant :3 (ALSO F4 WAS SO GOOD I RECOMMEND 100%)
and without further ado, in honor of f4 officially premiering, PB&JJ !!
demetri alexopoulos - spider-man
best friend/crush: human torch
stand-offish to the rest of the group at first (scared of getting close to anyone after everyone he cared about died or forgot he existed)
became a hero at the youngest age and bonds with robby who was the second youngest
struggles to feel content with himself (not good enough to balance mit and being spider-man, not good enough to live up to iron man's legacy, not good enough to save his aunt, not good enough to keep his girlfriend and best friend safe)
eli/hawk moskowitz - sentry/void
best friend/crush: falcon
struggles with feeling inadequate since he can't use his powers without being manic/depressive (which miguel helps him with)
often underestimated due to his quiet nature
VERY troubled past but he's either too cocky or too quiet for anyone to guess
super chill aaand incredibly resourceful and intelligent
also weird not scientifically accurate hc: his hair changes color/length/style between eli, sentry, and void - bc i said so
also underestimated because of his kind and silly personality
very ambitious person who's hard on himself to reach his goals
works hard to prove himself as the new falcon and not make a mistake (which eli, when not in sentry/void mode, always reassures him about)
robby keene - human torch
best friend/crush: spider-man
struggling to adjust to this new world and time (he's from 1960s earth-828 but now in 2027 earth-616)
finds a lot of comfort and familiarity in demetri, who's somewhat an old soul and sci fi nerd himself (they get each other's niche references and are open to teaching each other more things)
ALWAYS overlooked and objectified for his looks but when he's not annoying demetri or mr fantastic on purpose, he's actually really helpful in the lab and in space (and fighting strategies)
eli and him have a weird fascination with each other's powers (and the others too) as two people who haven't interacted with many superhumans before
