Davis before the Snap

In 2018, Davis survived the Snap and remained at Midtown School of Science and Technology.[2] Five years later, when the Blip occurred, the victims of the Snap were surprised by the unwelcomed Davis, who had since matured five years and was in their class.

In 2024, Davis was among the students who went on the European trip and also pined for Michelle Jones's affections, knowing full well that Peter Parker shared the same feelings towards her.

After sitting down next to her, Davis offered Jones a dual adapter for them to watch movies together.

In Venice, Davis visited the city with Michelle Jones and later waited for the rest of the group in front of the Da Vinci Museum, informing Roger Harrington that the place was actually closed.

Back at the Hotel DeMatteis, Davis watched a TV newsflash about the attack along with Flash Thompson, Ned Leeds, Betty Brant, and Jones. Due to not understanding Italian on the television, he thought the hero's name to be Mysterio.[1]
Peter Parker's Humiliation[]

- "Wait a minute. Hey, hey. You cannot show her that photo, dude. C'mon."
"I'm sorry, man. I have to. She deserves the truth." - ―Peter Parker and Brad Davis[src]
Later, on the way to Prague, during a rest stop in Austria, Davis was looking for the restroom and came upon Peter Parker with a woman with his pants down. Realizing that he could use this against Parker to best him in gaining Michelle Jones' affection, Davis took a photo to show Jones, and advised Parker not to keep pursuing her if he continued courting women everywhere they went. However, unbeknownst to Davis, the picture was erased by E.D.I.T.H. before he could present it.
Davis flipping off Peter Parker at the Opera
In Prague, Davis took advantage of Parker's departure during the Opera to sit next to Jones, and flipped him the finger to tout his victory; which was short lived however, as Jones soon followed Parker in curiosity. Following the Attack on the Prague Carnival, Davis was among the student body also in a hurry to pack, as the parents of the Midtown students recalled their vacation in light of the Elemental attacks. Davis also witnessed Jones and Parker leave the hotel together as he was on his laptop in the lobby, fueling his jealousy of Parker.[1]
Exposing Peter Parker[]
Davis comments on Peter Parker's behavior
Arriving in London for the last stretch of their tour, Davis called the class' attention to Peter Parker's unusual behavior during the trip, and how they were simply dismissing it. However, his attempt backfired on himself as Michelle Jones asked Davis why he was taking photos of Parker in the bathroom. Davis no longer held any sway over the class, including Parker's bully Flash Thompson, thinking him a voyeur, as Julius Dell reprimanded Davis.[1]
Battle of London[]
Davis witnesses Mysterio's illusions
The class then continued into the scheduled tour bus, with Davis now discredited. He was also among the group who cheered for Mysterio upon seeing his battle with the Elemental Fusion at Tower Bridge, and watched as the illusion was disabled by Spider-Man. In the aftermath of the battle, Davis returned home to New York City with his failure of winning Jones' heart.[1]
Personality[]
When meeting Peter Parker and his friends after they were resurrected along with the deceased half of all life in the universe, the grown-up Davis presented himself as a friendly, helpful and somewhat romantic person. He demonstrated his charisma in flirting with Michelle Jones, who also showed feelings towards him, much to Parker's jealousy. Despite knowing that Parker had feelings for Jones, Davis was also shown to like her, offering her help with his bag.
However, after Davis witnessed Parker in underwear along with the Seamstress whilst attempting to find the bathroom and thought he wanted to have sex with her, he showed his true colors: that of a callous, arrogant and despicable bully, taking a photo of Parker and threatening him to send it to all other classmates and flipping him off in the State Opera after Jones offered a seat for Parker. Davis' blackmail nearly cost him his life, as Parker accidentally asked E.D.I.T.H. for help only for the A.I. to misinterpret Davis as a "threat" to Parker and launched a drone strike on him before disabling it.
Unlike most students and teachers, being much like Jones, Davis is quite an observant person. Upon arriving in London and seeing his class not taking notice, Davis was pointing out the fact that Parker mysteriously vanished when things went haywire and nearly realizing that Parker led a double life. However, in order to protect Parker's identity and having discovered Davis' nastiness after the Carnival of Lights, Jones rebutted his claims and apathetically asked him why he liked to photograph Parker in the bathroom, leading Davis to feel embarrassed and appalling Flash Thompson and their teachers, who suspected him of voyeurism.
