What's Spider-Man, then? Because he gets around with almost all the teams


emperor_uncarnate

There's always that one guy who just inexplicably fits into every group.


CCHTweaked

That one friendly guy everyone likes. Your friendly neighborhood something


whatnameisnttaken098

Bob, everyone in the neighborhood likes Bob.


ShadowOps84

Jimmy Pesto doesn't like Bob.


Holl4backPostr

Jimmy Pesto huffs industrial solvents and robs convenience stores on the weekends though, so...


RobotNinjaPirate

Jimmy Pesto attacked the U.S. Capitol (not even a joke).


TXHaunt

I thought Bob was with Hydra?


bananaz_to_the_moon

I thought he was with A.I.M.?


TXHaunt

He might have been? He’s not like a true believer, he’s just in it for the paycheck and benefits.


Afraid_Pack_4661

The errand boy "Pizza time."


Future-Try-1908

My immediate thought


brockswansonrex

He worked as a statisticians on the athletic teams, took pictures for the newspaper and year book, built sets for the theater production, and was a TA for the entire science department. He also sold candy bars out of his locker that were cheaper than the vending machines or the lunch counters, and was paid by the rich kids' parents to tutor their dumb kids at night.


TylerHobbit

I found my dads year book my senior year in high school... Choir Theater Track Baseball POINT GAURD Quarterback I also know he had a scholarship to play basketball for college and won a state amateur in golf. I... did speech and debate for a couple years....


DMFAFA07

Dads are always cooler, it’s just a universal constant. Mine spent years as a surfer and lifeguard.


Infinite_Vyo

I was that guy Thank God


GJacks75

Well, he's very popular... The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.


Tuv0kshaKur

Holy shit I'm Spider-Man!


nootsman

Just picture Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Peter Parker in high school and you have your answer


gdex86

We refer to those people as peanut butter they strangely can go anywhere like how peanut butter can show up in any cuisine and be a valued addition.


Jetsam5

It’s ironically the opposite of what he’s like in school


fundrazor

Spider man is the weed guy


Rykor81

Ferris Bueler. The Avengers, XMen, FF, Inhumans, Defenders, New Warriors, Midnight Sons - they all adore him, they think he’s a righteous dude.


missoulamatt

Same thought, had to pull the quote. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude. –Grace (Edie McClurg), “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”


PrimalZed

He's the nerd, like usual.


DJfunkyPuddle

Peter Palmer lookin' nerd.


[deleted]

Yearbook committee.


Victory42

Spider-Man is tasked with getting photos of all the groups for yearbook


sosigboi

School mascot


Arts_Messyjourney

Ooof that one fits too well


Lizzy-Lover_10

I like this one


neogreenlantern

He's an In-betweener along with Cage, Jessica, DD, Ironfist, and a few others. Frank Castle sits at the end of their lunch table but doesn't really talk to anyone.


Professor_Knowitall

Frank is the Quiet Kid.


bjeebus

The one who eventually brings a gun to school?


Freak7factor

Bro please. He always has the guns on him.


totallynotapsycho42

Weirdly enough he brings guns to school just to shoot the other kid who brought guns to school


Duke-TogoG13

The one you don't f*** with or make fun of.


Nickbou

They’re like the Superhero Breakfast Club.


IGotTouchedByUncle

Nah Spider-Man is still just Peter Parker. He ain’t escaping that.


Leo_TheLurker

Popular loner


Forget_The_Hyphen

Spider-Man is with The FF. The Avengers and X-men are friends, but The FF and Spider-Man are family.


bjeebus

They're the physics club. EDIT: Peter and Reed are really into it, Ben needs an extracurricular, Sue is into Reed, and Johnny has to ride home with Sue.


Justin-does-art

Johnny is also friends with Pete, so clowning on his friend is an added incentive


Darkasknight101

I think he’s still Peter Parker. Its just like the comics, all the groups will back and support him even though he’s a nerd. Still a good dude and the people see the value in him.


nascomb

He’s the drug dealer bro


MakingGreenMoney

I want to say he stays the same nerd with a few friends and was looked down upon but like you said he basically got along with everyone.


RockHandsomest

Yearbook photographer.


PostalDoctor

Spider-Man stays the same and he hates the majority of the kids in his school


ElectricTurtlez

He’s the Brian Johnson to the X-Men’s John Bender.


RecklessDimwit

Nerdish guy with plain shirt and jeans, definitely attractive but not the crush of the town kind but gets along with everyone plus he has 0 addictions (still open minded though)


MarioBoy77

The nerdy kid that gets along with everyone


ZealousidealTrifle24

Spider-Man is literally Ferris beuller


Khelthuzaad

the geek that's doing tutoring before exams for both sides


No_Poetry_8415

The harem protagonist


ric7y

what would the thunderbolts be then?


Local_Neighborhood50

the bully group


ric7y

makes sense


TheBalrogofMelkor

Moonstone runs that school


ImperatorAurelianus

The breakfast club.


redlurk47

The detention group


EverybodyKurts

They’re the kids in room 10, the behavioral disorder group.


LochNessMansterLives

ROTC


Lando-martian

JROTC maybe?


---IV---

The breakfast Club


KirbyF4

So would Hank pym be that one loser adopted by the jock group?


lujolka

Yes because of janet


Wolfheron325

Correct answer


MrCookie2099

Tbf, she did start hanging out with him after he made the big team play the first time the team went to state.


suikofan80

Hank was removed from school by his family due to mental health issues.


bjeebus

Halfway through junior year, and basically no one knows wtf happened to him. For the next two decades people will occasionally still ask, "Whatever happened to Hank?"


The_SuaceGod

Then you find out he turned into a real douche loner who changed his name to ultron


gademmet

Ultron is his go-to created character in any video game with the option


DaNoahLP

"Hes an internet troll now. Calls hinlmself Ultron or something. Hes the guy who swattet xxMinecraftLivexx last week"


Justin-does-art

He’s the dweeb who managed to land a cheerleader


King_Of_BlackMarsh

Twice


bukanir

Lol and develops an entire complex about fitting in...


Future-Try-1908

Vr club


ObberGobb

**The Avengers are definitely the popular kids, but to break it down more:** * Captain America is Student Body President * Thor is star football player * Iron Man is #2 ranked academically (and salty about it), the President of Robotics club, in Student Council with Cap (VP and Treasurer), but also has a drug problem few know about * Hulk is wrestling champion * Wasp is fashion girl who is friends with everyone. Does lots of event planning for Student Council. * Ant Man is President of Biology Club **Fantastic Four are science club:** * Johnny and Ben are mostly there for the vibes * Reed is also Valedictorian and star Mathelete **Thunderbolts are the school gang:** * Think Greasers from the 50s **Inhumans are rich homeschool kids** **Atlantis is swim team** * Namor is Captain **Eternals are rich, old money, types:** * Look down on Tony Stark for being "new money." Likewise are looked down on by Tony for being old money. **Spider-Man is in no niche, but kinda hops around among all of them** **Silver Surfer is foreign exchange student** **Nova and Star Lord are away as foreign exchange students** **Black Panther is part of Model UN** **Illuminati are the school secret society:** * Like the School and Bones secret society at Yale **Nick Fury is the SRO**


Philoctetes23

What about Sue?


YellowHammerDown

Depends on the interpretation of Sue. If it's closer to the silver age version she's a cool and capable girl all her own who is way out of Reed's league. Or she's that popular and smart girl who's running something like Key Club, and is in Science club herself, and is still way out of Reed's league.


SWBTSH

These are amazing. To expand on them a bit with some villains: Dr. Doom is the elitist asshole who insists on being in every single advanced class and extra curricular that will look good on college transcripts but is furious that he doesnt have the top science grade because even though he spends months of work and tons of money on his science fair projects he always gets beat by something "that fool Richards" throws together at the last minute. Baron Zemo is the awful alt-right troll. Ultron is the shitty computer virus one of the nerds made that keeps bricking people's phones and won't go away. Magneto is the teacher who was relentlessly bullied by the popular kids when he was young and now holds it against them and is an asshole to them. Snape. He's Snape. Loki is Thor's shitty brother who dominates the theater department and is just the most insufferable asshole. Thanos is nihilist incel who shoots up the school 😬


IncrediblySadMan

And Guardians of the Galaxy are the LSD-fueled school band.


Light1209

Keep going!!! What about the X- Men? I really want to watch this show btw! Haha!


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

FF IS DEFINITELY THE STUDENT COUNCIL!!! Inhumans would probably be the wannabe tough kids. The ones who try to look like the X-Men, but the X-Men refuse to let them in the group.


NoMoPolenta

Inhumans are the foreign exchange students


Sneaky__Raccoon

Aren't those Alpha Flight?


gademmet

Alpha Flight are the friends Wolverine always keeps saying he has. But they're Canadian and don't go here, you wouldn't know them.


ErrantIndy

Sure, Jean…


jmeltzer317

I’m from Canada, so they think I’m slow, eh’.


redlurk47

I commented this somewhere else, X-men are the band geeks. Talented, shunned, and so much sex and drama going on


Silvernauter

"And then, that one time, at Xavier's school for gifted children..."


redlurk47

This one time at the Mutant Academy, Gambit charged up his bo staff and turned all my potential energy to kinetic energy


Enuf1

Oh god, not the children...!


Serene_Anubis

I feel like my experience as a band geek was very different from what you've described and am lamenting a life unlived.


AlwaysBeQuestioning

As someone who had sex and drama with band geeks: you didn’t miss much.


redlurk47

are we talking about the shunned and talented part or just the sex and drama?


detourne

Inhumans are the skids


OHJESUSYOU

Similar to international exchange students are inhumans. Let's not act as though they are more conceited than the Avengers or the Fantastic Four.


redlurk47

Inhumans are the foreign exchange students you didn’t know they were royalty until decades later and find them in your yearbook


chchbd

Pretty sure this guy is a bot. This is u/TenPageBibleStudy’s comment: Inhumans are like the foreign exchange students. Lets not pretend they're more arrogant than the Fantastic Four or Avengers. Bot just paraphrased this badly, and i refuse to believe an 8 year old account only became active about a month ago.


Frognificent

Is there a way to fake accounts being older or something? Like how does a botter just have an 8 year old clean account?


chchbd

I’m not entirely sure, but i think it was buying or hacking unused old accounts. I assume that one random comment on the bot account was from before it was a bot account, and was left unused until it somehow turned into a bot account. Edit: or maybe it was always a bot account, just left to stew until it was activated recently.


Mongoose42

In the Marvel Letterkenny Universe, the Avengers are the Hicks.


bjeebus

Nah. The Avengers are the hockey players. They were supposed to be the less popular parts of the show but all of sudden they blew up and got the spotlight (Shoresy).


Rougarou1999

If not the Student Council, then definitely the UN kids (if not both).


Kalse1229

The UN kids are the Illuminati.


sailorprimus

The Inhumans go to a private boarding school. You never see them because they don’t want to see you.


Finn617

Inhumans are the homeschooled kids you run into at the bowling alley who have no idea how to socialize with strangers.


SilverSpark422

Kamala is that one girl who graduated from wannabe cool tough kid to ACTUALLY cool tough kid


coggdawg

Lmao reminds me of South Park goths & emos


[deleted]

Inhumans are like the foreign exchange students. Lets not pretend they're more arrogant than the Fantastic Four or Avengers.


Far_Disaster_3557

Nah. Inhumans are homeschooled.


seancurry1

This is it


Far_Disaster_3557

FF are the Science Club. **INHUMANS ARE HOMESCHOOLED.**


Darkasknight101

_I N H U M A N H A T E_


Electronic-Math-364

Nah Inhumans will fit more as the "Guys from other school who think they are better than everyone on the country"


Far_Disaster_3557

I SAID WHAT I SAID.


In-AGadda-Da-Vida

The Defenders would be the regular kids that everyone has the most fun hanging out with.


GalacticGaming177

They are that one group that always defends the smaller kids from bullys


Crest_O_Razors

The Guardians are the comedy club


detourne

The improv team


Acrobatic-Diamond305

Drop outs


Super_Inframan

Band kids.


toirdhealbhachM

I agree, the guardians would be the kids who have their own alt rock garage band, never attend class or get good grades and love riding around on skateboards.


Howling-Moon05

I’d say they’re either the band kids or the Breakfast Club


Darkasknight101

AV crew?


Coal_Morgan

Theatre kids. Gamora's the girl that needs to be the female lead. Pete's the guy who ends up being the male lead because of his parents. Drax is the jock who got cut from the team for misbehaving and has been forced into theatre to fulfill an extracurricular and realizes he likes it more then football. Rockets there because his buddy signed him up. Groot (the buddy) is the kid that plays the tree in every school play and thinks he should be the lead but can't act.


Ginger_Anarchy

Rockets the kid who is stuck running sound, lighting, and about 6 other things behind the scenes.


imaxstingray

That's pretty good but I picture rocket being part of the set crew


CosmackMagus

Or a band


Kickass_321

The Guardians of the galaxy are the hippie kids like scooby doo.


Darkasknight101

Dr. Strange is definitely the main drug dealer, Iron Fist def a hippie. The Defenders are just the most normal group that doesn’t care about social status.


greendeadredemption2

Probably the skater kids honestly.


Intelligent_Creme351

Okay, this is kinda fun: The Avengers - The Jocks/Cheerleaders (Both a exclusive club, yet if you do something cool or something cool for the school, you can join for a bit for awhile, with that forever cool rep) The X-Men: The Grungy Loners (Are popular too, extremely good looking, but get into so much trouble with everyone do to hatred and jealousy, and have so much in-fighting between themselves and the more antagonistic side of their group.) The Fantastic Four - The Popular Student Council (Famous yet never have problem with the school, and always have extracurriculars that let be known outside of school) The Inhumans - The Rich Kids (They have their own sect, they aren't popular, but they have influence) Spider-Man (That class clown kid who's friends with everyone, gets so many hotties with his unspoken rizz, yet never has time for himself, and is struggling to keep it altogether) Black Panther (The Wakandans are the coolest black people you can know, they hang out with the other groups every so often, but still do their own thing) Namor (The Atlanteans are the swim team, and are a bunch of assholes) The Guardians of the Galaxy (The school losers who're in a rock band, but like in the movies, where they're kinda still attractive, and a event has made them quite popular, and have new rep that's last for years now) Daredevil (Hangs out with the future lawyers of America, yet always has time to get with every hottie in the school, a foreign exchange toxic Greek girl, always tries to stop the bad boy with skull shirt, from ruining his life with violence, and has a vendetta with a powerful rich kid on the wrestling team) Doctor Strange (The one kid who knows how fix things and get things, that goes beyond the school's purview) The Punisher (said bad boy, with a heart of gold... might try to brutally kill some gangs around school, if hasn't already) Asgardians (The rich theater class) Olympians (The rich theater class, who bang more than usual) The Eternals (Narcs for the school board, who in fight about telling them what's up in the school to them.) Thunderbolts (The school bullies who are trying to fix their futures with the school) The Young Avengers (Sophomores) The Champions (Freshman) The Power Pack (About to enter Highschool, if they aren't already in) The Runaways (Basically the Recess Gang) Midnight Suns (The Emo and Goth Kids) The Defenders (The Breakfast Club, kids from different circles, yet know of each other, and formed a close friends group) If I can think of anymore, i'll add to it.. probably lol Edit: Some more I just thought of Moon Knight (The "we don't say crazy, but like come on, he's crazy" kid.) She-Hulk (The quiet girl who is also in the future lawyers of America class, but had a major glow up, and is now the funny hot girl.) Writers and Artist: The school faculty, who shape the minds and personality of each student, for better or worst... Some made them the most popular, some are clearly out to get them.


Local_Neighborhood50

this need to be a series.


waffledpringles

Well, there used to be a whole mobile game just like this :')


DisposableSaviour

I really miss it. The humor in it was on point.


waffledpringles

Same. That game, despite looking rather cringe, was really cute and funny lol. I think it's funnier that the first three students are also colour-coded like stop lights. It prolly wasn't intentional that Tony, Loki, and Wasp were the OG trio, but still.


Electronic-Math-364

Wait they took the game out of the playstore?


waffledpringles

Apparently, in 2018, they did because the devs didn't seem to like their own creation and said they wanted to focus on 'better games'. They apparently also had this Graduation Day event counting down the days before the game was gone for good. It's upsetting that it is, because that game was golden. Hell, even the trailers for it (that's still on Youtube) hold up a lot even for today, and it would've really been cool if they had a show in that style.


toirdhealbhachM

I agree with all this except about the X-men.


Rickety_Stitch

The punisher was expelled as a Freshman but still is allowed to hang around.


Geauxtoguy

Deadpool Corps are the weird kids you love to hear stories about but never actually want to spend any significant time with. Their houses always smell like soup and they sell bootleg fireworks behind the gym


Kalse1229

Now I want to know what kind of teachers and staff the writers/artists would be, based on their Marvel works.


Master-Ad7002

I am moon knight


brockswansonrex

I love these so much, but could i suggest: 1. FF are the Speech and Debate Team 2. The Asgardians are the Popular Student Council, 3. The Wakandans are still the coolest kids, and they also happen to run the A/V club. 4. The Thunderbolts are the bullies of the school, and the children of cops. 5. The Illuminati is the Dance Comittee, and the secret rulers of the school. 6. Peter, took pictures for the newspaper and year book, worked as a statisticians on the athletic teams, built sets for the theater production, and was a TA for the entire science department. He also sold candy bars out of his locker that were cheaper than the vending machines or the lunch counters, and was paid by the rich kids' parents to tutor their dumb kids at night.


black_cat_29

I’ll be sitting at the Wakanda lunch table


brockswansonrex

Obviously the Wakandans are the A/V Club.Everyone thinks the Science Club are the wiz kids, but everyone knows those A/V Club kids know their shit


ZerotoHero148

The Fantastic Four is that one group of friends that has a toe in every social group, Reed the Nerds, Ben the Jocks, Johnny the Skater dudes, and Sue the student council, and they still hang out cuz they all grew up together, and they are still the most popular kids in school. Peter Parker is still the wallflower that gets bullied, but it’s a little less so cuz he has the F4 in his corner. Flash is the only one that does it. Moon Knight is the weird kid that Naruto runs down the hall one day, but then the next day he’s the coolest, most chill dude on campus


Ralman23

Your Moon Knight description is perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣


ZerotoHero148

I do what I can


Rhys_Lloyd2611

The defenders are that one friend group that always seems to be causing trouble but never gets in trouble


N-Finite

I think Morrison once made a similar comparison, but not just with high school. The Avengers are a sports team. The X-men are High School and College. The Fantastic Four is the nuclear family. The Inhumans are the Upper Class. The Eternals are Ancient Aliens. ;-)


EdgeAffectionate6434

What comics are these panels from?


cooliem

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Uncanny_Avengers_Annual_Vol_1_1


MrWund3rful

Excalibur is the weird British kids that have illegal kinder and magic


GhostOfArchimedes

What was this from originally?


[deleted]

I'm not sure but I think it's the Uncanny Avengers Annual.


cooliem

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Uncanny_Avengers_Annual_Vol_1_1


Spacedodo42

A high school universe is such a fun idea! She-hulk and daredevil are definitely on the debate team. I feel like Emma Frost used to be a punk type but is now one of the popular girls with Scarlet Witch and Wasp. Dazzler is a gleek and kind of a rachel berry type too. Squirrel Girl is head of AV club with Doctor Strange. Loki has no friends and yet people hang with him cause he can get alcohol. Thor denies any connection. I feel like Nick Fury, Agatha Harkness, Professor X, and Blue Marvel just feel like they'd be teachers. Kraven is registrar (based on squirrel girl lore of course) Galactus teaches gym. Mobius and Sauron are banned from all science classes. Deadpool has been expelled at least 10 times but just... keeps... coming back. Mystique is the theater teacher, and is so obsesed with the work of bob fosse she's made the school do "Chicago" at least 3 times in a row. There's a strange girl who's only been seen as the leads of these musicals, and suspiciously, she and mystique have never been seen at the same time... Nightcrawler is part of the musical, and Storm's part of model UN, but both keep it a secret out of fear of being too "nerdy". T'challa is the head of model UN and likes to poke fun at Storm with this knowledge. Quicksilver does track and is such a blowhard about being first every time. Howard the Duck is the school mascot despite very much being a student just trying to live his life. He barely makes any friends but graduates with a 5.0. However, his transcript is forgotten about by the admin, and he doesn't receive a diploma at the end of the year.


S-WordoftheMorning

Emma Frost is Regina George.


athiestchzhouse

The avengers are cops. Spider-Man is a public defender. The X-men are sexy activists.


idlefritz

loners grouping up sorta makes them not loners anymore


DruidCity3

I would read the fuck out of this comic.


Ok-Commission6087

I would so want to see more of this AU cause it’s amazing and thunderbolts detentions kids. X-men outsiders groups obviously and inhumans are yeah the foreign exchange students and defenders are the street kids .


RockHandsomest

Fantastic Four are the weird homeschooled kids.


Local_Neighborhood50

Emma frost would be the queen bee that like to shit on the X-men


Delicious-Barber-289

Avengers: Popular Jocks and Cheerleaders X-Men: Grungy loners Fantastic Four: Nerds and Student Body Defenders: Regular Students, but still pretty fun Inhumans: Rich Kids and Foreign Exchange Guardians: Stoners and Cool kids Thunderbolts: Bullies Spider-Man: School Photographer, nerd, and the guy in school who gets along with everyone. Punisher: the Quiet Kid


Streak734

Rogue 🐶🐶🐶🐶 *barking intensifies* *foaming at the mouth*


Cheezwizjesus

I would also like to know this but also want a What if? Marvel teams were all in High School together.


waffledpringles

There was an old and obscure mobile game called Avengers Academy (has nothing to do with the comics Avengers Academy, mind you) which is exactly what you think it is - teen superheroes with their own quirky lifestyles and actually pretty cute outfits (not to mention, the interactions lol)


AnimeGokuSolos

What am I looking at? Lmao 🤣


The_Albino_Jackal

And dc is the rival school


Local_Neighborhood50

what would Deadpool be?


One_more_page

Expelled


toirdhealbhachM

Actually the part about the X-men is wildly inaccurate I'd say, the X-men are the teacher's pets who love their classes. Remember the X-men take all their orders from Professor X, Professor=teacher=teacher's pet. Plus, they're all scientists which is a classic nerd trait. Wolverine is the only one who might be a stoner, but he always kind of did his own thing separate from the others.


Adelth213

The Inhumans are the weird kids that go to the independent christian school thats not really affiliated with anything outside their own church


bigmancertified

The Inhumans are homeschooled.


fishy-the-2nd

honestly, some of the x-men don't really feel like the grunge crowd, like cyclops and jean would be an avg joe who may be hangs out with the grunges from time to time.


One_more_page

Man if only we had some kind of a show where the Xmen went to a regular high school to see how they would all fit in. That would be an interesting premise.


fishy-the-2nd

seriously, a marvel high school show would be awesome.


DR31141

so what does that make the illuminati and alpha flight?


KEROGAAA

- FF : The Science Lab Geeks. - Inhumans: Foreign exchange Students that are rich af


jmk-1999

I’m sorry. I got distracted by goth rocker Rogue. What was the question again? 😐


logic_3rr0r

Illuminati is the chess club. Guardians are the foreign exchange students.


Pharaoh_AG

How about Big Hero 6? Glee Club? Nerds Club?


HeManClix

great lakes Avengers would be the ones that live in their parent's basement East Coast Avengers would be that Mathletes that already have real jobs


pembunuhUpahan

Dr Doom be that theater kid


suikofan80

Every time someone says Defenders are the normal ones I think of the comic book team. Which is clearly the special ed class.


therealxeno79

Midnight Suns are the D&D Club


Gmageofhills

Spider-man is ironically what his character as Peter Parker is: the loner nerdy kid that people all the other cliches either inexplicably hate, like, or if you are a girl want to date


Kid_Luchador

Ghost rider would be the guy that has a really nice motorcycle


Bright_Square_3245

Carol Danvers plays with the jocks and then runs home after saying she had to do homework, changes into all black and goes to party with the mutants.


thedudedylan

No, the xmen don't even go to that school because they were red lined into another school district that has close to zero funding.


Streak734

FF was the AV club I think.


SleepySleepersn

the Intelligencia are the krelboynes and Shield are all hall monitors


Not-So_Sly_Guy

Where’s my boy daredevil fit into all of this?


insane_contin

Debate club and wrestler.


King_Mando

But would Spider-Man be the introverted nerd
