Sending Jon to the MCU to hang with Moon Knight et al and them looking at him like

“And people think WE’RE crazy?” <- Guy who is multiple guys cause of his continuous childhood trauma looking at a guy who willingly gave away two fucking ribs for what amounted to a single corn chip.
Actually it’d be more like. Marc nodding sagely when Jon describes the hour he spent trying to cut off a finger and giving advice about a better way to have done it or other options while Jake and Steven are in abject misery about there being TWO OF MARC NOW.
Jon reveals he was orphaned as a child as a way to apologize for seeing with MCU-ified powers what happened to them as kids and Marc absently thinking “G-d I wish that were me”, causing Jake to cackle while Steven is just like “Marc, no-!”
Thinking back on this (cause I’m mentally ill) and thinking of the inkling of a thought I had about them eventually traveling to New York and running into Spider-Man and Jon having cognitive dissonance in meeting Peter.
Cause like. “I’m allowed to know what Spider-Man is.” Cause like. What if teen Jon, after the movie came out in 02, decided to use him as a way to get over his arachnophobia (failed). What if, despite that, he still kind of ‘looked up’ to him. Casually. Cause like. Great power DOES come with great responsibility. As he was well aware of.
Then he’s transported to a place where Spider-Man is real and just over half his age and he has to grapple with the dissonance of a CHILD being someone he considered stronger and morally superior to himself. Because that is a CHILD. A child should not have that weight on him.
