Spider-Verse: Pulling the Strings Weaver of The Web. Who is the Master Weaver?



One of the major players that we have really yet to see anything from within Spider-Verse, and yet I imagine we will see him play a huge role is the Master Weaver.

He is known as the weaver of intricate webs from which all realities emerge. Creator and patriarch of the web of life.

It is he was was attacked by the Inheritors in his home dimension (Earth - 000), it was he who killed the matriarch of Morlun's family when Karn failed in his task to destroy the Weaver.  In turn the Inheritors captured the God and have been using him to traverse the Marvel Multiverse as they carry out their war against all totemic Spiders. 

As yet, he has been used as a pawn, a means to an end for the Inheritors to carrt out their gruesome genocide. Opening portals to other dimensions and worlds. But is there more to The Master Weaver? It seems there may just well be.
During the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #12, we the reader were privy to a chance encounter between Jessica Drew and The Weaver, or was it a chance encounter at all? 
The page where the encounter happens alluded to the meeting as a per-destined event. As though the Weaver knew of the role he was to play within the war and had set aside contingency to aid the Spider's when things looked at their most bleak, you could say the meeting occurred in the nick of time. Who do we know that has a habit of doing just that?
During all the dimension hopping, and other Spider-Men encounters, we have seen that for the most part that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Now there have been on occasion the odd exception as there is likely to be once you introduce "Every Spider-Man Ever" and as we have seen thus far every dimension would appear to have a Spider-Man.....or at least a Peter Parker. 

As yet there are two dimensions that Spider-Verse has taken us to, where we have seen no sign or tale of any Spider-Man or Peter Parker. Those two worlds being the Inheritors home Loomworld Earth - 001, as well as Earth - 000. I don't think that that is entirely a coincidence. I do think it would appear to be by design of the story. After all I have an idea who the Peter Parker of Loomworld may be, and it would seem a fair few would share the same impression. Given that the character I have in mind has been depicted as being different to the Inheritors. 

I am of course referring to Karn, We've seen that The Weaver himself has referred to Karn as one who would choose to create rather than destroy. 

Now I'm not saying that Karn is the loom-world Peter Parker, however something that occurs within Spider-Verse Team Up #3 (Released 21/01/15) certainly insinuates that possibility. What do I mean? well you'll just have to buy the book when it's released tomorrow. 

But would that mean there's a chance, that Earth-000 Peter Parker could also be a mystic? it also is a strong possibility. 

Now once again I'm not saying that The Master Weaver is a Peter Parker, he could just be a God with no connection whatsoever and the fact that for the majority of dimensions and worlds  Peter Parker specifically was bitten and granted powers, however this may just be a massive coincidence. Maybe we are looking too deep into the stroy and not everything is connected.

If not Peter Parker then who else could it be? why not discuss this either via the comments section below, or directly via Twitter or on Facebook. I'd love to hear your theories on whom if at all the Master Weaver is likely to be. or do you think we'll never find out?
