Money isn't that big of a deal. I, personally, don't care about being rich, especially not when the protectorate pays a decent salary. As to the tinker cycle... Well, Peter is a Marvel Comics genius. He could bridge the gap between tinker tech and regular tech all by himself. I'm just envisioning using the ring as a shortcut, since it comes with tech databases, scanning functions, etc.

It could work for that, though... It depends on how the database the ring has works. The mission logs, for example, are uploaded to Oa, and the ring wouldn't have access to that since there is no Oa here to receive them from. If the database is the same, all it has is the AI.

Another note to consider, Peter, or anyone, with the ring would be a white-circle. One of those who haven't gone to Oa for training, and thus is incapable of doing some of the things trained Lanterns can.

Lots of reasons why anyone, Spider-Man in specific, might want to try to help.
  • Even in the Marvel universe, gaining superpowers can be a very traumatic or dangerous experience, not just for the person gaining them but for others. Like that one who accidentally killed his dad. I think it was Wither. We should be on hand to help if that happens.
  • All we know from Strange is that she'll "survive." Spider-Man, more than anyone, knows how little that tells us of what happens to her; for all we know, she'll have her own "Uncle Ben moment" that he could easily prevent. And if there's anyone who can immediately point to getting superpowers as the moment life started hating him, it's Spider-Man.
  • Given all the stuff that happened to him, Peter probably would've given a lot to have had someone to help him out in his early days of costumed heroism. He'll remember that feeling, too.
  • For Strange to even bring her up, obviously she'll be important. Pragmatically speaking, this is a good way to get in the good graces of someone who could be important later. Even if she isn't, she's still a kid with superpowers who might be well-disposed towards him; not something to sneeze at.
  • With great power comes great responsibility. If she's going to be in immediate need of his help (and don't say the fact that she "survives" this means she doesn't; an old lady being mugged usually isn't going to die as a result, either), and then maybe in need of some guidance, Peter should at least try to give it.
  • We'll be taking perhaps a few hours (likely just one or two, depending), maybe a day at the absolute most, out of our day doing this. Did Strange give any indication that doom was coming within the next week or so? Because otherwise I'm pretty sure we can afford the setback.

Well I think atleast scan function should give us some basic knowledge or the ring is a tool to build a tool so to speak.

We will use ring a bit mix of database and tool to build more tool.

Like use ring power to construct nano suit or something like that.

This, the Marvel Universe is full of what by Worm Standards would be high level Tinkers, furthermore, Marvel Tech isn't limited to one speciality and can be mass produced without needing tinkers to maintain it.

Yeah, I don't want to use the Lantern Ring to remotely punch people. I want to use the Lantern Ring to help suit everyone else up, since we only have two years to save the world.

A fair point. Counterpoint: If the battery is still getting a charge from the central power battery, that's a direct conduit for data. But even if there isn't a database, the AI and scanning features are really all I want. Peter's own genius can work towards figuring it all out. He can build his own database.

Even without the advanced GL training, flight and the rings scanning functions will work just fine, and he's already aware that it can make crude constructs from the info Strange provided. Him learning to use it more intricately is a much neater way of nerfing him than simply not having him ask the ring about stuff.
 
I want Peter to through some training,His precog or spidersense is pretty much OP in some alternate continuty.

Or some story line that made Peter do some training,he is very terrifying.
 
Peter Parker. Knowing someone needs saving and not going.

Noooope.

Let me put it another way.

I'm not that eager to go either but the "greater good" or "prioritizing" have never been something Spidey was great at.

[X] Go help Taylor. What kind of hero would you be if you didn't?
 
[X] From what Dr. Strange said she survives, and you have more pressing things to do. Like go to this Protectorate and see about getting a job and housing with them.

Taylor just triggered and would be getting over trauma at the hospital. A helpful spider meeting her at this point would not be very useful when she's still pretty traumatized. Better to establish credentials(and money) at the PRT and then do outreach as a recognized hero.

1. Peter doesn't know anything about Taylor. He doesn't know about the bullying.
2. Bullsh*t. There's bullying, and then there's stuffing someone in a locker full of biologically hazardous material for hours and leaving them there. That's a f*cking murder attempt. "Just stand up for yourself" stopped being the solution a long time ago.
3. As someone who was bullied a lot both before and after getting superpowers, Peter not only knows at least a little of what she's going through, but can commiserate about it and give her advice without Taylor being able to write him off as patronizing or as someone who "doesn't get it."
4. Just to head off any argument about it that might come up, I want to clarify that I'm not saying Peter is going to swing in and White Knight all her problems away; I'm saying he's in a unique position to give her advice and support. And that's something every bullying victim deserves to have.

Debatable. Taylor has issues with authority and authority figures, and if we're coming down from on high as a recognized hero, she's going to have a harder time believing we genuinely want to help her. After all, besides her dad, who's really wanted to help her so far? The school cares far more about what's convenient for them than what's best for her, for instance.
Besides, we can just as easily take her from that locker, make sure she's taken to a hospital, talk to the faculty about the appalling negligence needed on their part for this to happen in the first place, talk to the cops/Protectorate, and then check up on her later when she's woken up, calmed down, and realized she has powers. She'll not only be calm enough to listen to us, she'll already feel a connection and maybe some gratitude.

Well we can claim to have heard her, what with super hearing.

Nah. Peter got the whole "heroic willpower" down pat. I could easily pull out scans to make a decent argument about his ability to use a green power ring.

Though I have several issues with this outcome, that's not one of them.

Pete knows she has something to do with saving the worlds, and that she's in trouble. So as the Germans say, "so einfach ist das!".

why dont we join the PRT after helping a teenage who is suffering now, iam not even asking to become the most important in her life only doing the right thing...for fucks sake Peter will always try to save someone who is suffering, Peter is one of the most heroic person in Marvel!

How is going to the Protectorate possibly pressing? We've been here a few hours, we can put it off until tomorrow at least.
