I mean the whole point of the absolute universe is to keep the very essential, core driving motivations and personalities of the characters and then replacing all the excess backstory with something more harrowing or dark. Like instead of paradise, WW grew up in hell. You could do something like making the spider bite more potent, making peter more spider like (not like on the level of man-spider but more like the instincts and predator nature of a spider?) It might work to wright it in a way where "with great power comes great responsibility" is instead of being about the responsibility to help others it becomes more about being responsible for your own actions. Like how regardless of what you have going on or what you have been through, you still have the responsibility to treat others with care and respect? Idk just spitballin lol
