Not sure if I'm going to go through with writing full Marvel stories set in the TF Regenerated universe (besides a planned GOTG crossover), but...
Will be periodically updated since there are TONS of characters that could get added to this...
THE S.H.I.E.L.D. FILES: SPIDER-MAN
People of Interest
Peter Parker (Spider-Man)
Date of birth: October 14, 1985
Relatives: Richard and Mary Parker (parents), Ben and May Parker (legal guardians)
By virtue of his parents being SHIELD operatives, Peter Parker was perhaps destined for a life that was a bit more than ordinary. After a deadly plane crash took his parents lives, Parker was left in the care of his aunt and uncle, who did everything they could to keep him away from the style of life that his parents had lived. That all changed one fateful day in 2001 when a radioactive spider—having escaped from a testing lab—bit fifteen-year-old Parker’s hand and gave him superpowers. Initially using these powers for his own gain, he decided to use them for good after his uncle was killed by a burglar.
Over the next several years, Spider-Man became the local defender of New York, dealing with everyday criminals and opportunistic supervillains, defeating the likes of Doctor Octopus, Sandman, and the Green Goblin. His efforts were enough to attract the attention of SHIELD but he declined all offers to join the Avengers Initiative, feeling that he worked best “looking out for the little guy,” as he put it.
In 2007, the sins of Parker’s father’s past came back to haunt him. During a fight with the Sandman, Parker came into contact with a black symbiote which had escaped from a SHIELD lab. Said symbiote was an alien Klyntar that his father had experimented on several years ago and recognized Spider-Man’s scent as that of Dr. Parker. Latching onto him, the symbiote enhanced Spider-Man’s abilities as well as aggrandized his personality and emotions. After realizing what the symbiote was doing to him, Spider-Man removed it only for it to latch onto its next host, Parker’s childhood friend Eddie Brock, who became the monstrous Venom.

Otto Octavius (Doctor Octopus)
Date of birth: 1946
Relatives: Torbert and Mary Octavius (parents), Rosalie (wife), Olivia Octavius (daughter)
Doctor Otto Octavius grew up in an abusive household, surviving the wrath of his father thanks to the overbearing and supportive nature of his mother. He eventually made it into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he met his future wife Rosalie. Graduating with high honors, Octavius became an atomic research scientist. After he married Rosalie, the couple had a daughter whom they named Olivia.
At some point, he became friends with Norman Osborn, who agreed to help fund Octavius’ endeavors in developing an infinity energy source for New York City. He also gave Octavius access to Oscorp tech, which the doctor used to create a set of tentacle-like appendages which he would use to control the fusion reactor.
During a demonstration however, Octavius miscalculated his mathematics and the reactor went haywire, sucking in everything within range and killing his wife Rosalie. While Spider-Man was able to shut down the machine before it could create further havoc, Octavius had been knocked out, his set of mechanical arms being fused to his body while the inhibitor chip had been destroyed. While he was in the hospital, his arms acted on their own and killed the doctors that had been trying to separate them from his body. Upon coming to, Octavius was horrified by what he had done and stricken with grief when he remembered the death of his wife and the failure of his project.
Desperate to pick up where he had left off and determined to see his dream fulfilled, Octavius turned to a life of crime, using his mechanical arms to break into banks and research facilities for money and technology. After a few run-ins with Spider-Man, Octavius turned to Oscorp for help. As Norman Osborn had long since passed following the Green Goblin incident, the company was now run by his son Harry, who blamed Spider-Man for his father’s death. The Osborn heir agreed to fund Octavius’s efforts in exchange for Spider-Man’s life.
By this point, Octavius’s crimes—which had earned him the name “Doctor Octopus” from the Daily Bugle—had attracted the attention of Wilson Fisk, who also had his eyes on some of Spider-Man’s other foes. In addition to Oscorp’s funding, Fisk offered to make Doctor Octopus the leader of a team of supervillains that would be strong enough to take down Spider-Man. Seeing this as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, Octavius agreed.
Flint Marko (Sandman)
Date of birth: Unknown
Relatives: Floyd Baker (father), Emma Marko (ex-wife), Penny Marko (daughter)
Little is known about Flint Marko’s past, although evidence gathered by SHIELD operatives indicate he was born as William Baker, son of Floyd Baker. Throughout his life, he had known nothing but poverty, and he often turned to committing crimes in order to get through life. For a brief time, he was able to find happiness by marrying and having a daughter, only for things to spiral again when his daughter was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Although his wife divorced him due to him returning to his criminal ways, Flint became determined in securing enough funds to pay for his daughter’s treatment.
Flint’s desperation eventually led to him being hired by Justin Hammer, CEO of Hammer Industries. Hammer promised to help pay for his daughter’s treatment in exchange for his services; what Flint did not realize was that this meant being used as a test subject for an attempt to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum in direct competition to Hammer’s rival Norman Osborn. The faulty serum ended up transmutating Flint’s body, altering his molecules and giving the ability to shapeshift into animated sand. Enraged by Hammer’s deception, Flint broke free and went on a rampage through New York City, bringing him into conflict with Spider-Man.
After escaping his first encounter with Spider-Man—which earned him the headline name “Sandman”—Flint Marko caught his bearings and regrouped, reassessing his situation and his newfound abilities. He proceeded to go on a crime spree across New York, breaking into banks and slipping out before Spider-Man or the authorities could get to him. After a time, the Kingpin caught wind of the Sandman’s actions and approached Flint Marko with a deal, recruiting his services just as Hammer had. Flint was hesitant at first, the wound of Hammer’s betrayal still fresh in his mind, but ultimately accepted when Kingpin offered to not only pay for his daughter’s treatment, but to give him a chance at squashing Spider-Man—someone who had become a persistent thorn in Flint’s side and an obstacle to achieving his goals. As such, the Sandman joined the newly-formed Sinister Six.

Norman Osborn (Green Goblin I)
Date of birth: April 14, 1961
Relatives: Ambrose Osborn (parents), Emily Lyman (spouse), Harry Osborn (son)
Norman Virgil Osborn was the son of Ambrose Osborn, a failed inventor who heaped untold abuses onto his son. Motivated to not become the same failure his father had turned out to be, Osborn graduated from Empire State University with degrees in chemistry and engineering and founded the Osborn Corporation with his friend and former teacher Mendel Stromm. Their partnership did not last long as Stromm was forced out of the company over accusations of embezzlement, allowing Osborn to take full control of the company. By this time, Osborn had fathered a son named Harry, who became the most important person in his life after his wife Emily passed away a year later.
Like many other aspiring scientists of his time, Osborn sought to create his own version of the Super-Soldier Serum after all its samples had been depleted by the end of the Cold War. After many years of experimentation, the first sample of the “Oz Formula” was created and tested on a cluster of spiders. One of these spiders managed to escape on the day a class of students of Midtown High School were taking a field trip to Oscorp’s labs. Among these students was Peter Parker, who was bitten by the spider and became the web-slinging superhero we know today.
Osborn was unaware of this incident until he began seeing news reports of an “amazing Spider-Man.” He initially thought nothing of it, having heard countless stories of wannabe vigilantes trying to follow in the path of Captain America and other such heroes. However, when he happened to catch a televised report of Spider-Man demonstrating superhuman strength in defeating opportunistic villains, Osborn began to speculate that a sample of his formula had somehow gotten out… and proven to be a success. Paranoid that Spider-Man (or whoever had given him his powers) would exploit the Oz Formula and rob him of the fame surrounding it, Osborn decided to test his own serum on himself. Ignoring the warnings of his scientists, Osborn subjected himself to the Oz Formula… and thus was the Green Goblin born.
Using other pieces of Oscorp technology, the Green Goblin spread mayhem across New York City as he sought to gain the attention of Spider-Man. After a series of encounters, each one either ending in the Goblin’s defeat or an indecisive victory, Osborn continued injecting himself with the serum, which ended up transforming him into a monstrous goblin-esque monster. The Green Goblin proceeded to rampage across New York and nearly managed to kill Spider-Man until the web-slinger tricked him into being stabbed by his own advanced glider. By this point, the effects of the serum wore off and Spider-Man realized his foe was in fact the father of his best friend Harry Osborn. With his last breath, Osborn asked Parker to not tell Harry—or anyone—of what he had become, and then died in his arms. Spider-Man then handed Osborn’s body over to the authorities, and the public was left to believe that the business mogul had simply been one of the Green Goblin’s many, many casualties—a story that was true, from a certain point of view.
Harry Osborn (Hobgoblin)
Date of birth: September 11, 1985
Relatives: Norman and Emily Osborn (parents)
Harold Theopolis Osborn is the only child of Norman Osborn and thus sole heir to the Osborn Corporation. Throughout his childhood, he found it difficult to appease his father, especially as his aspirations and goals deviated from what his father wanted him to do. While attending Midtown High School, he became best friends with Peter Parker, although there was a slight rift between them as Norman would often treat Peter better than his own son during the few occasions Peter visited the Osborn household.
Following the death of Norman Osborn, Harry inherited his father’s business and was immediately saddled with the burden of running the company. After a few rough months, during which he was nearly ousted by the Board, he managed to focus himself and put himself in the mindset of a businessmen, motivated by his desire to bring Spider-Man—whom he blamed for his father’s death—to justice. After a failed alliance with Dr. Octavius, the young Osborn decided to take matters into his own hands and tasked Oscorp’s scientists with recreating the Oz Formula that he knew had been his father’s passion project, unaware of the role it had played in Norman’s fate.
History ended up repeating himself when Harry ended up taking the modified formula and transforming himself into the Hobgoblin. Arming himself with his father’s gear, the young Osborn went on a path of revenge in search of Spider-Man.
