i love love love ur peter parker mistaken villain aus. since spidey never says that peter is his villain and they have no connection besides the photos, i think it'd be really funny for people to think he was another hero's villain. like he had to steal something off dr strange once to deal with a magical threat but since it was a magical artifact and it got returned, Stephen never reported him but casually mentions that Peter robbed him once and now everyone thinks oh shit, the science guy is getting into magic too and is cleary evil so he really is the next dr doom.
I like people thinking of him as Spidey’s villain because it just makes it seem like he’s making money off of his obsession and I like to imagine that when it eventually gets to JJJ, he’s torn between being like “well if he hates that wall crawling menace then that doesn’t make him a villain, if anything, he’s being a proper civilian! Everyone should hate Spiderman!” and keeping an eye on Peter to make sure he actually isn’t going over that ledge, cause I love stuff where either Jonah gave him the job because he knew Peter was struggling, or he eventually grows to care for him
That being said! I have been thinking a lot about Johnny convincing himself that Peter is going to be the Doom to his Reed and he’s preparing for it (not knowing it’s never gonna happen)
So adding onto what you said, I think it’d be hilarious if Johnny’s spent all this time thinking he’s getting a new archnemesis, and then word on the street is that Peter’s going after Strange and he’s just. Sooo offended, and he’s torn between being mad at Peter like Peter’s somehow two timing him, and being mad at Strange for “luring” away his new Doom
