I never said it was a GOOD reason. Besides, knowing Reed Richards, his perpetual motion machine probably runs on bullshittium and that's why he's never brought it to market.
Seriously? Well that's good to know. That actually does kind of raise my opinion of Peter Park quite a bit, because he's now demonstratively NOT an idiot.
Yup. J. Jonah Jameson's late wife got him the job. However, it is explicitly stated in story that the only reason Peter is able to hold down this position is that Horizon gives its researchers a crazy amount of freedom - private labs (only they and the owner have the keys), even privater storage spaces (only the researcher has the key), no set hours (you may work at whatever hour of the day inspiration strikes you0, and is totally results based (build something useful and they will find a way to sell it, whether it be modified web-shooters for rescue work, noise canceling earbuds, or a new type of body armor). Which is perfect for Peter, since his scientific processes typically goes 1) Fight supervillain in broad daylight and do poorly, 2) return to lab to design new costume or web fluid that counters supervillain, 3) beat supervillain, and 4) modify design for consumer use.
I wonder if that's why early heroes often had jobs that allowed them to vanish for hours at a time and such time away could be easily explained?
Yeah, why weren't any of them consultants??
I need to expense some Spandex dry-cleaning.

He probably attracts lots of endowments to the college, considering his fame and lifestyle. This is likely the only reason he gets away with it.
Did the prof say, "Sorry Eh?" afterward?
Well, okay. Your location says Beijing. Hence my confusion. In that case, I really am surprised. Tenure doesn't protect against things like that. Tenure is only supposed to really protect against firing due to lack of publication or grant support, not disciplinary stuff. Maybe it's different at that university than what I'm used to.
It's true. His presence made sure the college remained well endowed.
The less said about soldmarriagetodevilpeter the better...
In the comics, he survived the war by transferring his mind to a robot. Now living in the robot's body, his face is present on a monitor built into the robot's chest. Zola's introduction in the film with his face on a monitor is a reference to that.
Thanks.
Not just you. I think that was the idea, actually.
I wasn't sure if he had an Ultimates equivalent, as I'm pretty sure the movies are set in the Ultimates universe. There's certainly enough differences to think it anyway.
I think the movies are set in the "Let's Do Whatever the Hell Makes Us Money" universe.
