Spidey #37
In "D'où vient Dominus ?", a 1983 French edition of Spidey #37, writer Don Glut and Roy Thomas explore a haunting "what if" through a series of alternate realities where Peter Parker never became Spider-Man. Each path—Flash Thompson as Captain Spider, Betty Brant as Spider-Girl, John Jameson as Spider Jameson—leads to tragedy, yet Peter still rises as the web-slinger in the end. Rick Hoberg’s dynamic art, with inks by Sam Grainger and colors by George Roussos, brings these divergent fates to life, while Jean-Yves Mitton’s cover captures the eerie weight of the moment.

What would have happened if someone else had gotten spider powers instead of Peter Parker? Flash Thompson would have named himself Captain Spider and then died in a battle against the Vulture. Betty Brant would have become Spider-Girl, but then retired after failing to stop the thief who murdered Peter's uncle Ben. John Jameson, goaded on by his father, would have become Spider Jameson and then sacrificed his life to save the life of a fellow astronaut. In all these alternate realities, Peter Parker still becomes Spider-Man in the end, as this is his true destiny.
