Spoilers: A Kitten That Made A Midnight Spider-Man Out Of Peter Parker
The Kitten That Made A Midnight Spider-Man Out Of Peter Parker by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and ScieTronc (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- Midnight Spider-Man spoilers reveal Peter Parker’s lost kitten Bamf as the trauma that shapes his monstrous origin.
- Instead of great power, Richard Parker’s lesson is “Power makes monsters,” defining this darker Spider-Man myth.
- Peter’s guilt over Bamf still haunts him as he lives under Uncle Ben’s care and drifts through the Midnight Universe.
- Oscorp looms behind Peter’s transformation, with Felicia Hardy and more human-animal horrors deepening the threat.
Today, as the Midnight Universe titles have their Final Order Cut-Offs, the last chance for retailers to set their orders, I’m looking at the titles with a little more depth and even analysis, using images and pages already released by Marvel Comics, and you can catch up with other coverage with this Bleeding Cool Midnight tag, I dive into Midnight Spider-Man #1. Where we learn that the young Peter Parker had a kitten called Bamf.
I talked more about the themes of this book earlier today but here’s how they play out in practice. As Peter Parker, charged with responsibility, forgot to check that Bamf was where they were meant to be. Bamf got out.
And that’s when he learned his most important lesson from his father, Richard Parker, to replace the more classic Stan Lee aphorism.
“Power makes monsters”. And that includes the neighbour’s dog and your kitten that you left alone and got out…
Poor Bamf. And it’s a lesson, it’s a memory that haunts Peter Parker…
…as well as the imagery of the spider crawling from the corpse of his pet.
These days he’s a bit more back together…
…blogging as Sagan Ritual. On a bunk bed for one…
So even when he’s hanging with his Uncle Ben, his sole caregiver in the Midnight Universe…
He’s never far away from the monsters with the power, at Oscorp Industries…
And as you can tell, their employees can be very seductive… such as Felicia Hardy, better known as the Black Cat, working for Oscorp…

…you know, when they aren’t dealing with their own dead cat situations. I wonder if this comic will come with a feline trigger warning? No cats were harmed in the making of this comic, but quite a few cat owners may be scarred…
