Added by Peter WildenbeestSpider-Man
Former students of ESU associated with Spider-Man include Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, and Flash Thompson. Dr. Miles Warren was a biochemistry professor at Empire State University, as was Curt Connors. In Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, this university is sometimes shown as Empire State University and sometimes shown as Eastern State University.
X-Men
In her early life before she joined the Hellfire Club, Emma Frost attended Empire State University and was there when an anti-mutant strike broke out[1]
X-Man Chamber, enrolled briefly at ESU in order to investigate a bombing that killed six people. Chamber's findings resulted in ESU closing their main mutant program, and creating a new human/mutant student exchange program with the X-Mansion. The first participants of this program were Walter, Chamber's paraplegic, human dorm-mate and Amber, a reptilian mutant student who assisted Chamber in his investigation. Also, it is mentioned that Chamber lives in Brittany Hall, a real life residence hall at New York University.[2]
Daredevil
Candace Nelson, the sister of then New York City's District Attorney Franklin Nelson also attended ESU. Her discovery of Ted Sallis' research created a great deal of controversy. Matthew Murdock visited the ESU campus and met with Professor Charles Laine to gather information on the case.[3]
Notes
- In the film Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker attends Columbia University instead of ESU.
- Empire State University is not to be confused with State University in Hegeman, New York of Fantastic Four fame.[4]
Trivia
- This ficitonal university was created by Stan Lee, beacuse he was afraid if he enrolled Peter in a university existing in real life, the title would loose readers.
