ARC 1: Origins

Spider-man: Heroes United #1 - The Field Trip

“You know, it’s hard to believe that it was only a week days ago since the field trip. Things have changed so much since then. One minute I’m studying for the history final and next thing you know, I am fighting a crazy, lunatic doctor with eight arms.”

Spider-Man sticks to the ceiling of the ESU lab. The place is trashed. The floor is covered by glass, papers, and broken tables and chairs.

“So, Doc, do you plan on paying for this mess?”

A metal arm streams toward the ceiling, Spider-Man quickly does a flip over the Doc, landing behind him, he slings a web to the arm now stuck in the ceiling dry wall, gluing it in place.

“Pathetic” Octopus says, easily ripping through the web.

“Note to self, make webbing stronger”

Standing on his two bottom metal arms, Doctor Octopus turns to face Spider-Man, only to get slung in the eyes by webbing. Ock struggles to get it off, while Spider-Man runs up and punches him in the stomach.

“Ah!” Spider-Man yells, “What the hell?”

Doctor Octopus laughs after tearing the webbing off of his eyes, he opens his trench coat up, revealing the large metal structure around his abdomen.

“Oh, yeah…” Spider-Man says while clinching his hand.

It’s now the time where I miss those days without powers.

ONE WEEK AGO…

Peter Parker sits down in a classroom. He has medium length brown hair with messy bangs. He wears a grey sweatshirt over a blue t-shirt and jeans. Right now he has is finger holding a paper football up. “Okay, Harry, I’m ready.”

Harry Osborn, Peter Parker’s best friend since the eighth grade. They ended up being partners in science class. Harry had reddish-brown hair, more red then brown. It was short, he was kept clean-cut. He wore a long white shirt and a red jacket, also with jeans.

He puts up his fingers, creating a field goal. Peter flicks the paper football, it heads straight for the goal, until it is snatched in mid-air.

“What are you guys doing?!”

Peter and Harry look up to Mary Jane Watson. Mary Jane had beautiful red hair to go along with her beautiful facial expressions. She and Peter have had an interesting past. The very first time they met four years ago, Peter was practically in love with her, but she started dating Flash Thompson. Ever since then Peter and her have been just friends. She has never known about his past crush though.

“We’re trying to pass the time in study hall.” Peter replies.

“What about the field trip to ESU? The one you were so excited for?”

“The bus doesn’t leave for like…” Peter stalls and looks at his cell phone.

“Uh, right now” MJ says, Harry and Peter look at each other in shock, and then grab their books and stuff them in their backpacks, quickly following MJ to the bus.

Inside the back of the bus sits the popular crowd. The crowd consists of Flash Thompson, His girlfriend Liz Allen, her best friend Gwen Stacy, Liz’s step brother, Mark, and Kenny.

Flash had dirty blonde hair, good build, and of course, his cocky smile. Liz was a beautiful brunette who has been at Midtown since Peter and Harry have, in fact, they used to be good friends, until she started dating Flash.

Kenny Kong, which was probably Flash best buddy was a big man, a very big man, earning him the title King Kong. Although he hung out with this crowd, he probably had the better hearts of the guys.

Mark had messy brown hair and blue eyes. His father married Liz’s mother five years ago. They’ve grown close like a real brother and sister. And then there is Gwen, Peter’s new crush of the year. She has a beautiful face that is really only in comparison to Mary Jane’s. She wore a green jacket over a black top, a purple skirt and knee high black boots.

Peter quickly rushes into the bus right before the door closes.
“You guys are late.”

“Sorry Mr. Bromwell, Peter says to his bus driver. He was an old dark-skinned man. His grey beard and hair easily showed that.

Peter, Harry, and MJ find some empty seats close by, only problem is, it’s in paper-throwing range of Flash.

“Man, I’m sick of this guy.”

“How long has he tortured us?” Harry asks.

“Right about after…” He looks up at Mary Jane, “After you broke up with him.”

“What are you guys saying it’s my fault he’s a jerk?”

“Well…” Harry says.

“He’s horrible, I mean, he hangs around sluts like Gwen and Liz.” MJ says Peter quickly looks at her and Harry almost laughs.

“You don’t know her…” Peter calmly says.

“Dude, it’s never going to happen for you…I mean, Gwen Stacy? The girl’s a model, the daughter of a police captain, and she’s the most beautiful...” Mary Jane clears her throat, “Second most beautiful girl in the school. She’s just your crush of the year…remember last year when the Fantastic Four visited our school? You drooled over Sue Storm for a month!”

Peter rolls his eyes and looks back at her, just sitting calmly looking out the window. “She’s not like them; you know…she’s different.”

ESU

The class walks into the ESU science labs, following their teacher Mr. Adrian Toomes. Mr. Toomes then walks up to a man. He looks about high 30’s short brown hair, and is missing an arm.

“Dr. Connors, so good to see you again!”

Connors turns around and sees Adrian offer a handshake, a smile comes to his face has he gives him the handshake.
“Adrian, my old friend, how is Midtown?”

While the scientists talk, Flash in the back of the room talking with Mark, “Hey look, old baldy actually has a friend, limbless.” Mark and Flash laugh, while Peter just gives them dirty looks.

NOW

Whoa! Hold on, I’m not finished!

Spider-Man jumps over the two arms swinging across his legs. “You’re getting on my last nerve Spider-Man!”

“I am? You’re the one who is trying to kill me! All I was trying to do was save Connors!”

“He ruined my life, he deserves the same!”

“Ruined your life? How? Giving you a place to do your experiments?”

“He tampered with them and screwed up everything, even costing me the use of my legs.”

“Well, that’s what metal arms are for, now!”

Doc Ock strikes Spider-Man in the chest, and sends him flying out onto the street.

Okay, now where was I?

ESU LABS

Peter and Harry walk into the room where Connors was leading them. Connors then gives a head signal to the man standing in the middle of the room. This man was of average size, had a bit of a belly, but he was pretty fit overall.

He took of his scientist coat, wearing a brown shirt underneath. He walked over to a white sheet covering something. He pulled off the sheets, and there they were, four metal arms strapped to a harness.

“Wonder what this is going to be about.” Kenny said.

Peter, who was standing by him answers his question, “This is Dr. Otto Octavius; he is one of the most advanced scientists in the nuclear category. I think he’s going to create a nuclear fusion reaction with those arms.”

“You are too smart…”

Peter just smiles and takes it has a compliment.

“Class this is Dr. Octavius, he is going to be showing us his experiment, please give him your attention, as it may be on the test…” Toomes adds.

“Ah, crap…” Flash says

Dr. Octavius walks back toward the middle of the room, wearing the harness around his waist. “Thank you for coming Midtown Class, I am Dr. Otto Octavius, and I’m going to be showing you a little on nuclear reaction.”

“First off, I shall explain my little friends, these four arms are connected to my spinal nerves, connecting them to my brain, I know it sounds scary, but really, it isn’t painless at all. They are equipped at the end with three separate claws, allowing me to grab things from a distance.”

Peter raises his hand, “What are they made of?”

“Ah, good question…they are made from 100% adamantium.”

“Like Wolverine?” Flash says.

Dr. Octavius slowly turns to Flash, “Yes…like Wolverine.”

Flash whispers over to Mark, “Mutant hater…”

“Now shall we get to the experiment?”

I can’t believe I am watching Octavius put his skills to work right in front of me! I have read so much on this, to watch him is an honor! Little did I know that he would change my life.

I was amazed, being the science nerd I am, at how took a simple drop of tritium, and was able to use a nuclear reaction to expand the tritium, somehow creating a fusion of the two, making a miniature energy source, which was then controlled by the arms.

Just then, as he was controlling his ball of energy, a spider was crawling down on its web. It eventually got in the doctor’s way, causing him to knock it away. That spider was knocked to the ground, nobody stepped on it, and nobody thought anything of it. However, the spider was enough of a distraction to have Octavius lose control of his fusion.

The energy was not contained, and it pretty much exploded around the room. People we’re running and screaming, trying to push through the door.

Through all of the commotion, I didn’t notice until I felt a sting on my hand that the spider had crawled up my pant leg, and bit me. It hurt, my god, so freakin bad. I started feeling woozy until I eventually fainted on top of Harry, who helped carry me out. Otto tried to contain the energy, but it blew up in his face.

Cracks formed in the wall, the few students left in the room were pushed out the door by force of the reaction. Otto flew into a bookshelf that fell on top of him and his metal arms. Poor Mr. Toomes flew right into the computers, and Connors was outside the room, what a smart guy.

The cops came later, and made sure to get Octavius and a few students who had minor injuries out of the building and into a hospital. Harry and MJ took me back to the bus, and laid me down on the backseat. Flash was pissed, but that’s another flashback in itself.

It was the bite of the spider. It gave me these amazing powers that I later adapted to and learned to use for moments…

NOW

Spider-Man ducks down as a huge desk flies out of the lab, and into the car behind him.

…like this.

Doctor Octopus walks out of the lab on his two arms, leaving the other two for weapons.

“Hey, doc, listen, do you think maybe we could skip the whole ‘kill me’ thing and just talk it out?”

The two arms come straight to Spider-Man, his eyes widen; he jumps straight up out of the way, but the two claws grab his leg, pull him down, smack him against the road, and fling him a few blocks where he breaks through a window in an apartment.

Spider-Man rubs his head, and looks outside to find Doctor Octopus gone.

That my friend is how me and the doctor got here…thankfully, he doesn’t know who I am…because that would suck…

[sportsfan23]

Spider-Man: Heroes United #2 - Once Bitten

I’ve been searching all night for the doctor all night, maybe I should continue after school tomorrow, plus Aunt May is probably worried. I should really watch how late I stay out now.

PARKER HOME

“Peter, I was wondering when you were going to get home.”

“Sorry, Aunt May, I visited ESU this afternoon, and lost track of time.”

“I understand, dear, just try to be home earlier from now on, okay?”

“Sure thing Aunt May.”

Peter tells her goodnight, and walks upstairs to his room. He takes off his sweatshirt, and T-shirt revealing the top of his Spider-Man outfit.

Man, look at me…I’m Spider-Man; I’ve stopped three crimes this week, and fought a crazy guy with metal arms. My life is officially going to rock from now on.

Peter jumps onto his back face first, landing in the pillow.

Of course, that’s what I thought the first time I tried these powers out…

ONE WEEK EARLIER

After the explosion at ESU, the cops came as quickly as they could. Ambulances, fire trucks, and civilians filled the scene. Soon it was hard just to see two people ahead of you. Harry took me back to the bus after I had fainted, I convinced him the explosion shocked me, but something tells me he didn’t fully believe that, probably because he told me that he didn’t believe me.

The doctors took Dr. Octavius into the ambulance, and drove off with him, trying hard to keep him alive. Boy was he alive! His arms ended up…wait; I’m getting ahead of myself…the school day ended early because of that fiasco. Harry and Mary Jane offered to walk home with me, but I wanted to go alone. Good thing too, because they probably would’ve gotten hurt.

I was almost to Queens now, I would’ve taken the bus, but I had no money at all. I made it to the Queensborough bridge and all I had to do was walk over and I was nearly home. I was half-way over the bridge when something happened. Within the blink of an eye I was hanging fifteen feet off of the ground, holding on to the metal bridge structure…holding on, heck, I was sticking to it. People watched me in amazement as I made the jump.

Why did I make the jump, you ask? It all happened so quickly, but I’ll try and fill you in. As I was walking, these feelings in my head start to go off. It was tingling, almost has if it was warning me. It was too, this spider-sense, as I’ve come to call it, warned me of a speeding car rolling out of control on the bridge. I jumped out of the way, while other people scattered, the car sped right under me, has I hung from the structure above. It didn't hit anybody, and the driver was alright, but me...

I knew the spider bite had somehow given me powers, I just knew it. Why it did and how, I still was trying to figure out. Well, I was the scientist in my class, so that night; I took my own blood sample and looked at it, studied it, and ran some tests on it. Turns out my blood I full of nuclear radiation, somewhat like the Hulk, only this didn’t turn me into some monster. Well, not a big, green ugly monster.

Apparently the arachnid had absorbed some radiation from the Doctor’s experiment, and the spider transferred it to my bloodstream, giving me these amazing powers.

ALSO THAT NIGHT OF THE INCIDENT

Harry arrives home at his mansion, it’s his normal curfew time. Norman Osborn, the wealthy owner of OsCorp, walks down the stairs as Harry enters.

“Hey dad, I guess you heard about our field trip?”

“How can I not.” He says firmly.

“Yeah, I guess it’s been all over the news.”

“Yes, Harry, it has. I am very disappointed in the Doctor though. OsCorp has funded him so much money for his experiments. But when he screws it up like this…it’s a waste of money out of my pocket.”

“It was a complete accident, dad, besides we got plenty of green.”

“I have plenty of green; you just use it for your own personal gain.”

Harry brushes off what he said, and heads upstairs to his room.

THE NEXT DAY

Peter is up in his room, while downstairs, his Aunt May serves the breakfast on the table where his Uncle Ben is sitting.

“You know, Ben, this Saturday is only going to last forever, maybe you should spend some time with Peter today.” May says to Ben, sitting down next to him.

“I don’t know, May…it hurts for me to say this, but we really, don’t have anything in common, and it’s like we don’t get together as well as we used to.”

“I know, Ben, he’s growing up, but a fine man he is…and I think you have something to do with that” she smiles.

“Maybe we can go to a movie later; I know he wants to see Avatar.”

“I think he will love it!”

Yeah, Uncle Ben asked me to see the movie, but I had other plans that day…having to do with my new powers of course, now…now I wish I would’ve seen that movie with him.

I used that Saturday to really get a hold of me having super powers, and on my way back home, I saw this poster for a three day wrestling tour, so I checked it out. It was on the second day, and the prize was 1,000 bucks for anyone who could beat the undefeated champ. I knew with my powers, I could easily whoop his ass.

I went back home that night, knowing I would need a costume so I wouldn’t reveal my identity. I took an old red sweatshirt I had, drew a spider on it with black marker, and took some blue sweatpants and WHALA! I had a costume good enough to enter a wrestling competition. I thought my day was going really well! Until…
“Hey, Uncle Ben” Peter says, walking into the kitchen.

“Hey Pete, come over here”

Peter grabbed an apple out of the fridge and walked over next to his Uncle on the couch.

“What’s up, Uncle Ben?”

“Oh, nothing, I just wanted to talk, I feel we haven’t had a talk since you we’re little.”

“We talk, we’re talking now.”

“I mean a personal talk.”

“What’s wrong?”

"Nothing at all, Peter, just…Well, if you ever need to talk, I’m here for you.”

Peter is about to walk away when he decides to stay, “Hey, I have a question actually, If you had a really great skill, and could maybe use that skill to be better than everyone else, should you use it?”

“Well, that depends on the skill…because some skills can be used for the power of good, and others for evil. Just don’t use it for evil.”
“Uncle Ben, I would never do that! Why would you bring that up?”

“I’m just saying, Peter, you have to be responsible with your skills.”

“I am responsible! I have good grades and I do my chores, and why do you think I wouldn’t be responsible, I thought I proved that every day!”

“You do, Peter.” He said calmly, while Peter seemed to take things differently, and started to raise his voice.

“Oh really, you seem to make a pretty big deal of me becoming a horrible man

“Peter, I am proud of you and the young man you’ve become…just remember, with great power, comes great responsibility.”

Yeah, I got pretty peeved that night, I was big-headed, stubborn…all Uncle Ben was trying to do was tell me the words that have stuck in my head since then…with great power, comes great responsibility…I’ve lived by those words for the last week, and plan to for the rest of my life. That’s not the end though.[/center]

[sportsfan23]

Spider-Man: Heroes United #3 - With Great Power

Yeah, I was a little stubborn that night with Uncle Ben…I thought nothing of it before. The next Sunday I blew off a movie with Harry and Mary to do my wrestling competition. I had Uncle Ben drive me to the Library where I was going to study. I hated to lie, but he would never let me do this.

I walked a few blocks until I arrived at the wrestling arena. The place was filled with screaming fans, crazy drunk men and women…I’m pretty sure one took her top off too…
…Oh, yeah, so I went up to the desk wearing my costume, I wore a ski mask to hide my face, and wore the hood over it. The woman at the front desk laughed at me, but signed me up asking me if I had made out my will first.

I walked to the backstage where these huge, beefy guys waited. I mean, these guys made Flash look like a girl. Thoughts went into my head like, “What the hell am I doing?”

But then I remembered I had super strength, no matter what the size, still, it was threatening. Slowly, but surely the room began to empty has each contender went out into the ring, and either came back with a ruptured organ, or broken bone…I mean bones.

It was my turn; the dude was 32-0 just today. I thought about ditching and catching up with MJ and Harry, but me, I could win money, 1,000 bucks, do you know what that could do with that? Maybe Gwen would actually be impressed!

I crawled into the ring, everybody laughed at me, the referee came up, “All right, men…and boy” I literally wanted to sock him there, but I didn’t, he continued, “Once your down for three seconds the match ends. It will be between the undefeated ‘Bulldozer’ and…” He looked at me, wanting my name.
I stuttered for a moment, not expecting to have a name, “Uh, Spider…Man…Spider-Man”

“All right, get to your corners.”

I was a real fool in the ring. I tried to shake the guy’s hand and wish him luck, he turned around, spit in the direction outside of the ring, and said he would break me, reminded me of the Hulk.

The fight started quick, he charged right at me, I just jumped right over him with ease. I suddenly felt that tingling in my head again, and before I knew it, he had grabbed my leg while I was in mid-air. He slung me against the ropes, and bounced back into the other side where I grabbed a hold on one.

He looked at mean with this look in his eye, a look of evil. It scared the sh*t out of me! I think I may have wet myself. He screamed loud, as fear was seen in my face, although no one could see it. He charged at me, but I acted quickly, using my weight against the rope and slung toward him, feet first. I could feel the sweat and blood flying off of him, toward me from the impact. It was nasty.

He was out though, I hit him with tons of pressure, I’m pretty sure the guy had no air left in him. Either way, I won! So, the manager of the building, someone by the name of Fredrick Foswell invited me into his office.

He was a little goofy looking with his red hair and moustache. His glasses really sold the nerd look. Look who’s talking though. It doesn’t matter, he had my money, and I needed it. Only problem was, he wanted me to sign some contract with him, which I was not even close to doing. First off, he’d only let me use my real name, and if word got out about this, Aunt May, Mary Jane…anybody, I don’t even know what I’d do. So I left without my money, pissed off at this guy.

As I was leaving the arena, I started heading toward the library when some creep shoved me out of the way from behind. I looked and some long-haired guy carrying a bag. I then looked bag, and there were two cops chasing him, and Mr. Foswell yelling to get his money back. I figured, that’s what he gets.

I finally arrived at the library 15 minutes later, and there is Uncle Ben’s car, waiting for me, sadly this was all a waste of time. When I got closer to the car, I noticed a lot of people starting to gather. My heart started pounding. I knew something was wrong. I shoved through the crowd, and there he was…my Uncle Ben. Shot in the stomach. Blood already covered the cement beneath him, his breathing grew fainter, and tears started to fall down my eyes.

Everyone around me suddenly disappeared. In my mind, it was just me, and my uncle, my uncle who was shot. I was filed with such sadness, grief, but also anger. I knelt down beside him, and grabbed his hand. He slightly started to talk.

“Peter” He said softly.

“Yes” I choked, “Uncle Ben.

“Take…take good care of your Aunt.”

His eyes closed, his head swayed to the right, his grip on my hand loosened…He had died. I cried for a moment, and then…and then I heard the cop cars drive by. I knew, I just knew they were after him. I left my Uncle…I reached into my bag and pulled out the ski mask, slipping it on over my head.[/center]

[sportsfan23]

Spider-Man: Heroes United #4 – Comes Great Responsibility

It was late that night, I had never felt so many emotions at the same time. One part of me wanted to cry, the other part wanted me to rip this guy’s head off. He was hiding in a warehouse near the river; he was trapped as cops surrounded the building. He went through a lot for a little bit of money.

The robber just stood there looking out the window, planning his next move. He quickly began to dart out toward the back side of the building, my guess he was planning to make a move and jump out into the East River. But I had other plans for him. I jumped down in front of him, and kicked the gun out of his hand, he was shocked, not knowing what to do; he tried to hit me with his money bag.

I ducked below it though, and lunged off my hands to kick him into the opposite window where the glass shattered. He was hanging off the side of the building; the cops had the megaphone out now telling us to cooperate. There he was, hanging off the side of the building, I pulled him up, grabbing him by the shirt collar; I got a good look at his face, and my heart sank.

It was the same man that robbed the wrestling place…the one I could have stopped, the one that killed my Uncle Ben. I had so many thoughts running through my head, I would’ve never known, if it weren’t for my Spider-sense, that the creep at a knife at me. I quickly grabbed his hand, and has he wrestled with me, he was no match for my strength. I held him over the edge, pondering if I should end the life of the man who murdered my uncle.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Peter sat on top of the Chrysler building, overlooking whole city.
I cried a lot that night as I looked over the city. I had the ski mask in my hand, still wearing my wrestling costume. The words flowing through my head, with great power, comes great responsibility. Words of a wise uncle. A wise uncle who’s life ended today, because of me…

And now his murderer is rotting in jail for what he did, I probably would have killed him if it wasn’t for my uncle. I understand what he meant now, and know what I must do.

THE NEXT DAY

The death was hard on Aunt May, I worry about her mostly because of her age and how she would take it. But the harder part was planning the funeral. I looked over some old tapes of the family. Uncle Ben was such a great Uncle, much like the father that I…that I once had.

My father and mother had died on a plane crash to Russia, on a vacation with the parents of Eddie Brock, an old childhood friend. Their names were Richard and Mary Parker. They died when I was very young, so I have very feint memories of them. It’s sad though, it’s almost like Aunt May is the only one I have left.

I didn’t go to school that day, Aunt may allowed me to stay home if I needed to. She was right, I did need to. I used that time to create a costume for myself. I knew what Uncle Ben had wanted me to do, and I devote this to him. I had created this interesting substance called a web fluid, and I was able to make something that would allow me to trigger it, and spin web just like a spider. I was excited, it worked really well. But the haunting memories of my mistake still lie in my head.

NOW

I fought three crimes in that week. I’m not sure if people are starting to notice me or not. I have decided to look for a job also. Hoping to gain some money since Aunt May and I are in a hurt.

Now the only problem is that Doctor Octavius guy. His mechanical arms are attached to his back now, he controls them, and now is using them for evil. Why? Well, today he attacked ESU because he blamed Connors for messing up his project, but ironically, it’s his messed up project that created the person who has to stop his menacing rampage.

IN A HIDEOUT SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK

“This Spider-Man character, he is very interesting, I want him, I want to study his abilities, where he got them, and who he is, because he cannot stop the power of Dr. Octopus!”

[Frostbite200]

Oh man,I haven't even read 2 yet!

[sportsfan23]

haha, I'd encourage you all to read on, this is just the first arc, I have tons of ideas coming up! like up to 50 "issues" worth, isn't saying much since some are short though.

[sportsfan23]

By the way, this is arc is called the DOC OCK arc or ORIGINS arc, and it has five issues, the next one will also have five, and will deal with some gangs and a supervillain.

Heroes United: Spider-Man #5 – Heroics

That’s how it began, pretty cool, huh? As for Doc Ock’s side, all I know is that he had escaped from the hospital in the middle of the week, and he went after Connors, blaming him for his botched experiment. Everyone knows it was the Doc himself though. Harry told me even his dad, Norman, ended up stopping the funds to the Ock Corporation. That didn’t make him too happy; let’s just hope he doesn’t go attack OsCorp.

MONDAY, CURRENT TIME

Peter sits in his seat during his biology class. MJ sits beside him to his right and Harry behind Mary Jane. The teacher, Dr. Adrian Toomes, is late, as always.

“So, how was the weekend?” Mary Jane asks Peter.

Well, I protected Dr. Connors from the eight limbed megalomaniac known as Doctor Octopus…

“Boring…as usual, how ‘bout you?”

“Harry and I went see the Romeo and Juliet play downtown.”

Peter looks at Harry, “You? Sat through Romeo and Juliet?”

“My dad got free tickets for his contribution, so I figure, Mary is into all that poetry, play crap, why not?”

“It is not crap, it is beautiful and elegant!” Mary responds.

“Nah, it’s crap” Peter says

The principal walks in just then, “Class, Dr. Toomes will not be joining us today, he was arrested last night busting into a jewelry store on Fifth Avenue. He and his partners we’re ‘apparently’ taken down by some guy in a red costume?”

“It’s the Spider-Man, I’m telling you!” Flash yells out, “The guys awesome! Rumor has it he can stick to walls and spin webs!”

“Yes, Flash, because…that’s what SPIDERS do!”

“Don’t get smart with me, Parker, you’re just jealous because you’re not as cool as him!”

“Calm down class, now we don’t have a sub ready for this class, so it’s a study hall.”

Peter takes his pass and walks to the restroom.

Wow! I just got our teacher arrested…that is so…awesome! Man, everyone would love me right about now. If only I could tell them. Would it be wrong? Really? What would be the harm in telling them who I am? I mean, I guess if any enemies knew then they could harm them…but that’s no biggie, right? Ah who am I kiddin’?

Suddenly, a kid walks out of the stall, and to the sinks, he was about Peter’s height, blonde hair that spiked up front, and was of normal size. This was Max Dillon, first year at Midtown High.

“Hey, you’re new here, right?”

“Yeah, I’m Max” He says washing his hands.

“I’m Peter”

Things begin to get awkward, “Well, I better get back to class.” Peter says.

“Alright” Max says.

MEANWHILE

Mary Jane and Harry have their own little talk.

“So, you’re really into Peter, huh?”

“Is it that obvious?” Mary Jane asks.

“Uh, Kind of…only the way you stare into his deep, brown eyes!”

“Shut it, Harry” She jokes, “Yeah, alright, I kind of have feelings for him…”

“Since when?”

“Since like, I met him.”

“Wow, you two totally could have been a couple years ago.”

“I know, but he…didn’t seem like the type that would go out with someone, plus he’s into Gwen.”

“Gwen is just his little fairytale girl, he’ll grow out of it!”

“I know, but...it’s like I’ll never be able to compare.”

“Pete’s not like that, Mary, he’s not the type to choose over looks, trust me, he’d pick you in an instant.”

AFTER SCHOOL

Peter walks Mary Jane back to her place.

“Sorry about your Aunt, Peter.”

“Yeah, it’s a hurt, after my uncle…we’ve barely had the money to make it through, what hurts is she won’t tell me about it, I had to wait for her to leave the kitchen before I could take a look.”

“You shouldn’t be snooping.” Mary kids.

“I know…I…I just wish I could help.”

“You’ll find a way!” She says.

Her mother, Janice Watson, comes to the door.

“Hi, Peter”

“Hi, Mrs. Watson”

“Thanks for walking Mary Jane home.”

“No problem, I don’t mind at all!”

She walks outside, and grabs the paper on the sidewalk.

“Look at that, people actually believe that Spider-Man crap, now the Bugle is asking for pictures.”

An idea pops right into Peter’s head, “That’s it! I gotta go, guys, see you tomorrow Mary!”

DAILY BUGLE

Maybe my prayers are finally answered; I mean, think about it! A job taking pictures of me. Myself! It would be the easiest money I’ve ever made!

Peter rides the elevator up, and when the doors open, all he sees is commotion.

Wow, I haven’t seen so much commotion since the lab incident.
In the square shaped office room there were cubicles scattered around, and at the far end of the office was a room for the boss. Peter knocks on the door, but all he hears is yelling inside. He opens it up slowly, peeking in. he sees the hot-tempered boss, and some client inside.

“This is a disgrace!”

“I’m sorry, Jonah, but I’m sure you said, cream.”

“I didn’t say cream, I said NO CREAM! Why don’t you get it right? All the years you’ve been working here, you’d think you’d know my coffee likes”

“I’ve been here for two months”

“Ah, smart guy, huh?”

“What? No!”

“That’s it, I’m done arguing with you, you’re fired!”

“You’re firing me over coffee?

“No, I’m firing you over cream”

The man, angry, barges out of the room, and into the elevator. Peter reluctantly walks in, “Uh, Mr. Jameson?”

“What do you want!?”

“I, I uh, saw your ad in the paper, and…I think I can get you pictures of Spider-Man!”

“Why should I believe some sixteen year old can get pictures of a guy our experts can’t get?”

“Just trust me, I’ll have photos of that wall crawler by tomorrow.”

“You got spunk kid, I like that about you…you’ll start freelance and we’ll see where you can get with that.”

“Great…thank you Mr. Jameson! You won’t regret it…”

“You better hope not.”

Suddenly, a younger man walks in; he was pretty buff, not ripped though. He wore a leather jacket, zipped up, and jeans. His hair was a dirty blonde, and he held papers in his hand.

“Here are those papers you wanted, Mr. Jameson.” He looks up at Peter.

“Peter? Peter Parker?”

“Eddie?”

“Peter, wow, it’s been forever!”

“Since sixth grade!”

“What are you doing here?”

“Getting a job!”

“You work here now?”

“Yeah”

“Awesome! Dude, we should totally catch up some time!”

“Yeah, man, anytime!”

LATER THAT NIGHT

Spider-Man swings through the night sky.

Wow, what a great day! I got me a job to help Aunt May out, I saw Eddie Brock, my old friend from sixth grade, and I am about to make my first paycheck!

Out of nowhere, a metal arm slings and hits Spider-Man in the face, knocking him against a brick wall, almost through it.

"What the hell?"

He looks up to see the Doctor, looking strong, walking on his two bottom metallic arms. His brown trench coat swayed in the wind, along with his short, black hair. His glasses gleamed in the streetlights nearby.

“I’ve been looking all over for you, bug!”

Spider-Man gets up slowly, “Aw, that’s cute, I’ve missed you too, Doc!”

“You had no business butting into my affiliation with Connors.”

“I’d call it more of an attempted murder, but affiliation works too!”

“You have a mouth on you, Spider-Man.”

“I get that a lot.”

A metal arm slings toward him, Spider-Man back flips up the side of the building until the second arm comes in for the attack. He lunges off the building, heading straight for the Doctor. Ock is pounded to the ground as his bottom claws turn into attack mode.

“Shame you can’t walk, Doc, really gives me the advantage.”

“You’d think so.”

All four of his arms go after Spider-Man, while Ock lies on the ground. Spider-Man dodges them one by one, until he is struck in the back surprisingly.

“Man, that was quick, even my spider-sense didn’t kick in!”

“These arms are faster than you Spider-Man, face it, your through! And then I have a date with Connors!”

Spider-Man looks around, noticing a fire hydrant, and an electrical box in the alley

“A date…really I don’t think he’s your type, too few arms!”

“”Is that an insult to me, or him?”

Spider-Man gets up from the hit as another tentacle tries to stab him, only getting stuck in the ground.

He uses his web to sling off the lid of the fire hydrant, making water spurt out all over the place. Both Spider-Man and the Doctor are covered in water now. Spider-Man runs over to the alley while dodging several attacks by the arms. He get close to the electrical box, when an arm shoots right into it, the water then transfers the electricity straight to the Doctor.

He screams in the pain. His arms go offline, falling to the ground. The cops arrive just then, as Captain Gwen Stacy, and his two partners Jason Macendale and Jean Dewolffe get out of their cop cars. Spider-Man gives a small signal from the front of his belt on the Doctor.

“He’s all yours Captain!” Spider-Man salutes him from the rooftop, and when he looks to the ground, he sees Dr. Octopus tied up in webbing with his arms webbed to the ground.

Yeah, that seals it, today officially rules!

OSCORP

Trust me, Mason, the doctor was onto something…I want everyone chemical of his experiment studied and analyzed. I want the results back by the end of the week.” Norman Osborn says, walking out of his labs.

ARC 2: Goblin and the Gangsters

Spider-Man: Heroes United #6 – Torched

“Hey! Watch it! You could poke an eye out with those things!” Spider-man says has he ducks below a boomerang. The boomerang slings back into the hands of a younger looking man.

His name is Fred Myers. He wore a dark purple jacket, with the sleeves ripped off, creating a vest-like clothing. Underneath was a plain white T-Shirt. The vest had two red boomerang shaped designs on it, and also on the side of his dark purple pants.

He wore a visor over his eyes for protection. He had long black hair, and black boots. His belt also carried boomerangs of all sizes.

Spider-Man hung onto the corner of the ceiling and the wall inside a jewelry store. “So what’s your name? Wait, don’t tell me, Boomerang?”

Fred clinches his teeth, “I’m a master at throwing boomerangs, spider-freak! I spent years in Australia learning the techniques.”
His Australian accent was strong.

“Please give my regards to the Kangaroo when you go back!” Spider-Man replies.

Fred grabs two boomerangs from his belt and slings them both behind him, the boomerangs get entangled with the necklaces and rings and come straight back to him. Fred catches the boomerangs and is now carrying thousands worth of gold and silver.

“Well, it’s been great, bug, but, I have a plane to catch!”

Fred quickly runs out of the building and down the street, running through pedestrians along the way. Spider-Man swings out of the jewelry store and chases after Myers.

Myers then runs into the Midtown Mall. Spider-Man reluctantly follows through the doors, having a harder time staying on web. He begins to jump from wall to ceiling to wall. Fred looks behind to see he’s losing Spider-Man, but runs into a young, blonde lady, he trips and falls.

“Hey, that was my sister you just knocked over!”

Fred looks back, but when he sees Spider-Man again, he quickly gets up and runs away. He runs maybe a couple of feet before running into a barrier or nothing.

“What the hell?”

Fred smacks the invisible force field.

“You shouldn’t have knocked her down” he jokes.

Fred runs the other direction, when the girl brings up another field.

“Ya’ll are mutants!” Fred begins to freak out.

“Dude, say hello to the Invisible Woman.” He picks him up by the collar, “You can call me the Human Torch.”

Spider-Man arrives at the scene just then and watches as Torch sets his jacket on fire, and then throws him into the water fountain. Security guards then form around him.

“Uh, Thanks!” Spider-Man says to the two other heroes.

“So, the kid is for real!”

“Huh?”

“A lot of people are thinking you’re just a rumor!” Torch says.

“Yeah, well, I’m pretty sure that ain’t going to last long.” Spider-Man says, as a ton of people gather around him taking pictures and wowing him.

MEANWHILE

Norman Osborn stands next to a scientist. He was a short little old man. His balding grey hair and wrinkles showed that. He wore a lab coat over a simple shirt and pants. His name was Phineas Mason, but most of the people at OsCorp called him the Tinkerer, because of his ability with machinery, but science is also a strong point.

A flat TV screen comes down from the ceiling; Tinkerer turns it on, and shows different cells and atoms on the screen.

“What do you have for me, Mason?”

“Well, I’ve studied all of the Doctor’s notes, and have found that his nuclear radiation is completely harmless. However, it has characteristics that may give the actual human being power.

“Power?”

“Yes”

“Like, what kind of power?”

“Well, we haven’t had a human test, but, it could easily give them super strength, intelligence, and maybe even abilities.”

“Find us a human test!”

“We can’t sir, that’s illegal.”

“So…”

Mason puts is glasses on from his jacket, and begins to read his notes as he leaves the room, Norman, continuing to watch the screen, allows an evil smile to cross his face.

NEXT DAY

MJ and Harry stand outside of school, which just got let out.

“So are you going to tell him?” Harry asks her.

“I don’t know Harry; I think it would be awkward.”

“MJ, it’s your decision, but I have to encourage you to…”

“Hey guys!” Peter walks out of the school, Harry stops his sentence.

“Hey Pete”

Harry walks away from them at that moment, saying his dad is waiting for him on the other side.

“Harry’s dad never picks him up…”

“Must be today” MJ says.

“Highly doubt that…you ever met the guy, he’s ridiculous. I feel bad for Harry sometimes.”

Harry rounds the corner of the school, and bumps into Gwen, causing her to drop her books, Harry bounces back in surprise.
“Oh, Gwen, sorry about that”

Gwen and Harry both kneel down to pick up her books.

“It’s all right” She gathers her books up, “Thanks…your Harry right?”

“Yeah, that’s me…”

“You hang with Peter and that red-head, right?”

“Yeah, Mary Jane…we just call her MJ though, easier to say.”

“Yeah…hey can I ask you something?”

“Uh, sure”

“Is there a reason that your friend is always staring at me?”

“Who, Peter? Heh, actually it’s funny you should mention him, because…”

Before Harry can finish, Liz Allen calls her from a convertible down the street.

“Oh, coming Liz! Save that thought Harry…and, hey maybe we could hang some time, and maybe introduce me to your friends”

“Yeah, sure…”

Harry smiles as she walks away; staring at the beautiful girl.

LATER THAT DAY

Spider-Man perches on top of the Bugle, waiting for something to happen, when a fire in the sky flies down toward him.

“Torch, what’s up?”

“Hey, Spider-Man sir…thanks for helping with that Boomerang guy yesterday.”

“Ah, it was nothing…actually…it was…you did all the work.”

“What I mean is, it’s nice not to be the only super hero teenager around here. Like the only ones I know are my family.”

“The whole F4 clan, huh?”

“Yeah, and I was bored so, you mind if I hang out here?”

“Um, sure…I guess…”

“Name’s Johnny Storm, you?”

“Peter Park…eh”

“Parkeh?”

“Crap I have to get used to that super-hero greeting.”

“It’s cool, dude, your secret is safe with me!”

“Good to know, as long as you’re not some crazy villain in disguise.”

“Ha, no need to worry about that, my sister trained me well…”

MEANWHILE

A dark, shadowed man is on the phone. His office is dark; no one is in sight except him, “Myers? Who did it? Who? Spider-Man? Interesting…Amazing how things come back around, isn’t it? Kill him…and bring me his head.”

On the other side of the phone, “No, problem, boss”
