And why the heck is Peter Parker in this at all? He's
not an agent of SHIELD, an Avenger, nor a member
of the Fantastic Four. Nor is he in an official record
keeping or research position for any orginization
whatsoever

I'm afraid I must disagree. Spider-Man, at least as far as I know, is an 
Avengers Reserve Member. Furthermore, he is on close terms with the FF, in 
fact, they consider him a friend. 

Speaking of Spidey, was last page of ASM #35(vol. 2) a kicker or what? If you 
haven't seen it, its this; Aunt May in Peter's apartment staring at his 
costume which was lying on the floor. But that's beside the point. Getting 
back on topic, The answer would be yes, Spidey would have a reason to show 
up, particularly if the going-ons were enough to attract his attention.
