History[]
In 2024, Flash Thompson co-wrote an exaggerated and mostly fake memoir to pose as Peter Parker's best friend once his identity as Spider-Man was publicly revealed, in which he claimed he was the one who created the alias "Spider-Man".[2] The book contained an "all persons fictitious" disclaimer which Flash claimed was there for purely legal reasons. A review in The Daily Bugle gave it a score of one out of five bugles. Later, he got interviewed by Betty Brant for The Daily Bugle, where he was asked about how he chose the name Spider-Man.[1] The MIT Assistant Vice Chancellor was later seen reading the book when she was approached by Parker during a traffic jam on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge.[3]
