Spectacular Six Volume 2

 

The epic crossover event:

 

SPIDER-GEDDON

 

Featured in this storyline:

 

All the alternate Spider-Men featured in Sinister 666 will appear in this multiversal adventure. Plus MC2's Spider-Woman will appear with her new team The Sensational Six (herself, Red Web, Darkdevil, Gerry Drew, The Buzz and Redback). Also there will be three new alternate Spider-Men:

Spider-Dragon (https://lyntonlevengood.deviantart.com/art/Spider-Dragon-614303838) - He has the power of shooting webs made from mystical fires out of his mouth which not only harm physically but also spiritually in other words he can harm souls. Spider-Dragon it's so gigantic that Supaidāman's giant robot Leopardon can ride on top of him.

Spy-D - He's an alternate version of Richard Parker who was bitten by the radioactive spider instead of his son with a costume inspired on Jack Kirby's unused Spider-Man design. In terms of his fighting and leadership skills he could be described as "Captain America with cobwebs".

Webmaster (https://mavericktears.deviantart.com/art/Master-Web-Spider-Man-252734684) - During a a great war in another world far from earth, Spider-man was called upon again by Madame Web. Madame Web great powers were weakening and she knew the Peter (Spider-Man) would be the key to help this battle. so with the last of her abilities she summoned him to this waring world. Peter was confused but Madame Web willed what was left of her powers to peter and with that the information on the war. she is now mentally fused with Peter until she can regain her powers.

 

The spider-powered Norman Osborn (https://www.cbr.com/spider-geddon-norman-osborn-spider-man-worst-enemy/) will be A HERO in our Spider-Geddon. He raised Peter as his adoptive son after his parents' death, helping Peter to nurture his scientific skills as Norman's prixed lab assistant. Later, Norman become Spider-Man after he failed to protect Peter from being killed by his resentful biological son Harry. Ai Apaec hates him the most, because he ended up being 616 Norman Osborn's spider-powered puppet for his Dark Avengers team. Starting with the fact the Norman Osborn has four spider arms, just like Ai Apaec when he was Dark Spider-Man.

Also Spider-Byte (https://www.cbr.com/spider-geddon-vault-of-spiders-spider-byte-black-spider-woman/) will be featured.

 

May Parker as Spider-Ma'am (">">

Spider-Kid hails from a grimmer version of the Marvel Universe, one where he's less concerned with costumed supervillains than he is drug dealers and criminals making the streets of Queens unsafe. He's also named Charlie Parker rather than Peter, likely in tribute to the famed jazz musician.

Also there is Web-Slinger:

This version of Spider-Man draws inspiration from classic cowboy heroes like the Lone Ranger and Rawhide Kid. Web-Slinger roams the Wild West, battling evil wherever he goes and riding a horse who's also decked out in full Spider-Man regalia.

The Savage Spider-Man:

Cross Spider-Man with Tarzan and this is what you get. In this world, Peter Parker crash-landed in the Savage Land as a baby and was adopted by a group of oversized spiders. Thanks to their care and various supernatural rituals, he's grown up to become a super-powered hero who defends his jungle home from poachers like Wilson Fisk.

And Astro-Spider (John Jameson):

Little is known about this version of Spider-Man, apart from the fact that he seems to inhabit the same irradiated wasteland where the Inheritors were imprisoned after the events of Spider-Verse. Astro-Spider wears a full spacesuit that also helps protect him from the toxic environment of this world.

 

Also, The PS4 Spider-Man, as well as…. actual Spider-Cop!!

 

An alternate universe Captain George Stacy will be featured as a Spider-Cop.

 

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58c35f74d1758e424ee76710/t/5bf5e6a0c2241bd501dbafa9/1542842047620/Vault+Of+Spiders+02+%28of+02%29-020.jpg?format=750w

 

Fellow Spider-cop, earth x Spider-Man, will have a minor role as the good cop to George Stacy’s bad cop in an interrogation when Doc Ock’s allegiance is questioned when he first arrives on earth 001.

 

A younger Doc Ock will also be there from the time period when he was Superior Octopus.

 

LAST TIME ON AMAZING SLINGERS:

 

Miles, May, Normie, Kaine, Ana, and Sarah find themselves on a beach. In the distance, a city sized steampunk pirate ship, we show the captain: SILVER SABLE.

 

Ana turns around, and Cindy Moon is on the beach. YOUNG CINDY MOON.

 

“What….Ezekiel?  Who… who are you guys?

 

Hold on….I’m out of the bunker!”

 

The Slingers are at a loss and shocked, when suddenly, harpoons strike the beach and jet packed steampunk pirate Wild Pack members race onto the beach! A fight breaks out as the pirates attack and Cindy goes to run and hide!!! Everyone not wearing masks gets them back on!

 

We will see that two of the Wild Pack members are in fact steampunk CARDIAC and SOLO(still with powers though)

 

Silver Sable herself arrives and begins to battle the entire team with twin pistols and swords like a badass! Solo, noticing Ana, cries out that it’s Lionbeard the pirate’s daughter!!!

 

Cindy, paralyzed with shock at being out of the bunker, is captured and held at knife point. The Slingers all surrender. Silver Sable demands these agents of Lionbeard be taken to the brig. Kaine yells out they’re not agents of Lionbeard, they’re from another dimension, they don't know how they got here!  Sable claims that’s what the last ones said, before pulling off the masks of everyone, and is shocked at Kaine's face.

 

Silver Sable demands that this specific prisoner be taken to her quarters. The rest must be taken to the brig!!!

 

We’ll learn the pirate ship is not just a pirate ship, but an actual city, with civilians living normal lives within.

 

Kaine will be brought to Sable’s quarters where she questions why he looks like her husband. Kaine tells her that he’s from another dimension, she doesn’t know what to think but she can’t believe that, Kaine picks up on the fact her husband is probably dead, and questions her on this. She demands to know if this is a trick, he’s one of the Chameleon pirates isn’t he? Eventually, we get to the truth when Kaine is quizzed and knows nothing about even the most basic aspects of this reality. He just wants his friends free. If Sarah is hurt he doesn’t care how many he has to fight, he will get the one who did it. Sable decides he has an honorable soul, and decides to believe the alternate dimension theory, if only to see where this goes.

 

We learn that in this world, Silver Sable and Spider-Man were married, and fought crime together. Then, Hydro-man flooded the world. Peter died battling Hydro-man’s true master, and getting as many as he could out of New York and onto the ARKS that had been built to preserve humanity. Those that survived the apocalypse now live in these same ARKS, each one containing a different nation of survivors, battling for resources, each ruled over by a captain. Lionbeard is one of the captains,but by far the worst would have to be Scarlet Scimitar.

 

It’s Silver Sable’s duty to protect the last survivors of humanity from these rival pirates.

 

Kaine explains his world was never flooded, in his world Hydro-man tried something like this, but they stopped him.

 

The ship at this point, is attacked by this universe’s Doctor Octopus, who in this reality… is an actual giant octopus.

 

Kaine convinces Silver Sable to release his friends… as well as the previous prisoner she had: SANDMAN!!!

 

Miles, May, Normie, Kaine, Ana, Sandman, and Sarah attack The Kraken/ Otto Octavius Hybrid, fighting it off!!! Silk notices a family trapped under debris and saves the from a tentacle just in time!!!

 

After the battle, the heroes are celebrated by Silver Sable’s people, and given free reign to walk the ship. Sable will speak to Miles and Sandman and basically, no one knows why or how they got their. The ground shook, there was a flash of light, and now they’re in this reality. Miles just wonders where the others went.

 

Kaine keeps trying to find Sarah, but she’s always busy, off on her own thing. Kaine begins to fear his proposing ruined things, and realizes he never got an answer before they were teleported.

 

Later,

 

Miles takes Cindy into a room to speak with her. Sarah comes along. Ana follows too, Miles tells her he doesn’t think she should. Ana demands to be let in.

 

Miles asks Cindy to tell him… uh. Anything she thinks would be important… about her powers. And about her life.

 

And considering the circumstances, the story might get a bit dark for a minute.

 

Cindy tells them she was on a field trip. She remembers… there was Liz Allen, her boyfriend Flash, and this shy nerdy kid...Peter she thinks. He was sick that day and had to leave early. Oh and, Jessica! Jessica Jones. A spider, it bit her foot, and it gave her powers. She didn’t know what was happening. She couldn’t control them. She was scared and… Ezekiel came. He trained her, helped her, and he kept her underground, in a bunker… Cindy tells them that they have to get her back into the bunker. Morlun could be coming for her right now! He’ll hurt people! Sarah tells her not to worry. They beat Morlun. He’s gone. Ana asks how long she’s been with Ezekiel. Cindy tells them: about a year.

 

Sarah and Miles whisper to each other about this, and it’s mentioned Spider-Man didn’t get her out until years after where she is now. Silk asks what they’re saying, and asks what’s going on. Miles asks Cindy to stay in here, they’ll be back. They just need to talk in another room. Everyone leaves. Ana tells Miles they should tell her the truth. This is wrong. Miles tells Ana they have no idea what could happen if they do that. She’s going to have to go back to her own time eventually. Ana says they can’t let her die! Miles tells her he hates this as much as she does, but this isn’t something they have a right to meddle in. If they let her stay it could change time! Ana tells Miles they changed 2099. Miles says that’s the future, this is the past. Ana says the future is someone’s past.

 

Miles tells her he’s sorry, but he has to talk to the team about this. Even without the time travel, who knows what learning when and how you die could do to someone. Ana thinks, and tells him she’ll guard Silk. Miles feels bad about arguing with Ana.

 

Ana (An older Silk sacrificing her life to save Ana is one of the reasons Ana wants to be a hero so much) enters the room where Silk is. She sits down and tells Cindy she’s going to tell her what’s going on.

 

Ana explains that Silk, in the future, was a hero. One of the greatest heroes in the entirety of New York. She was part of a team of heroes that protected the entire world, and saved it many times. She helped defeat Morlun. She helped save the multiverse... twice. Everyone in the city loved her. That was the thing about her… she was up there, but she would still come down to earth and help people. Normal regular people. She helped train and inspire young heroes too.

 

Cindy asks if she ever see’s her family again. Ana tells her she does.

 

Cindy asks why all of this is being said in past tense.

 

Ana tells her there was a super villain named Gabriel Stacy. He was pure evil. He was trying to kill Ana. And he was unstoppable. Until Silk stopped him. She saved her. Cindy asks what happened next. Ana stares at her. She remembers what Miles told her.

 

She eventually reveals the truth that Silk, years later, will die saving Ana.

 

Meanwhile, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ant teleport into this world and onto the ship.

 

Miles at this point, is talking to Silver Sable, and as Sable keeps mentioning Peter Parker being killed by the one Hydro-Man was working for, he asks who that was. She reveals it: Ai Apaec: the Spider god.

 

Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ant are discovered, and get to talk to the heroes and Silver Sable. At this point, we get an explanation:

 

Spider-Ant explains: it’s like wind blowing through a web, except that web is The Web of Life. So, the web of life is… vibrating. And because of that, people important to the web are becoming displaced.

 

Spider Gwen speaks: What he said.

 

And what is the wind blowing through the web of life? The Master Weaver’s brother has returned. For every being of great power, there is an opposite. Surtur to Odin, or Hades to Zeus… if Karn is the great creator, weaver of the web of life, Ai Apaec is the destroyer. You’ve met the Spider-god, Apaec is a Spider-Devil… and he’s come to destroy the multiverse.

 

They’ve been trying to track down everyone, get them all together to try and find a way to beat Ai Apaec. Silver Sable demands to be taken along to avenge her husband,  and leaves Cardiac, her first mate in charge. They all teleport away, and the battle for the Spider-verse has begun.

 

Meanwhile… Doctor Octopus, Clash, and Harry Osborn find themselves in a different alternate earth… the nuclear wasteland from Spider-verse that the Inheritors were left on. Our heroes will attempt to escape the energy vampires, who are feral at the thought of tasting actual spider-totem’s after so long.
 

The heroes are saved from the Inheritors by the Astro-Spider in his full Astronaut uniform. Most of the heroes backstory is kept hidden, but we do reveal he was an astronaut and saw the nuclear war begin from space. He takes them to a secret bunker, which isn’t his home, nearly a place he hides out when in this area.

 

Doc Ock thinks they could use Astro-Spider in the fight against Ai Apaec, but Astro Spider has “responsibilities” on this world. Astro Spider will later in this story appear though in the final battle where he joins the fight at the last minute

Doc Ock will reveal he always keeps a dimensional transporter on his suit and they’ll escape out of this dimension, leaving the Inheritors behind! …. except for Morlun, who makes it into the portal. As they travel between dimensions, Doc Ock realizes something is wrong and the transporter isn’t working properly, due to the frequencies and vibrations being different. Harry and Clash are sent into Spider-Ham’s home Universe, while Octavious ends up on Earth 001. Morlun’s whereabouts are unknown.

 

Doc Ock,  now on Earth 001 meets up with all the other heroes who are preparing for the coming of Ai Apaec. Spy-D seems to be the leader of the web warriors now, and is explaining that Ai Apaec was trapped for years on Earth 616 by their Norman Osborn(who on his earth is the villainous Green Hydra) Ai Apaec goal is to kill The Master Weaver, and destroy the web of life. He’s coming soon, and if they’re going to stop him, they need to collect every possible Spider from every dimension they can to build an army to fight him. The web of life is in danger, so the web of life is fighting back.

 

Some of the other Web Warriors don’t trust Doc Ock due to what he did in Spider-verse. They think he could betray them. The good guy alternate Norman Osborn arrives, and vouches for Doc Ock.  Of course, a lot of them don’t trust Norman, but Spy-D vouches for Doc Ock. There are many alternate worlds where he’s a hero instead of a villain. Spider-Kid still doesn’t trust him. What none of them realize is… there’s another Doc Ock among them. One not from another reality, but from the past! The Superior Spider-Man version of Doc Ock from before he sacrificed himself! The one that’s still villainous!

 

Doc Ock is put on the team that will be going looking for Spider Dragon, a powerful and mystical being that could be the key to defeating Ai Apaec.

 

Harry and Clash meanwhile deal with the weirdness of Spider-Ham’s universe, and fight Ducktor Doom, who has kidnapped Miguel O’Hara to experiment on.

 

Spider-Gwen and Sarah Stacy will go on a mission to try and locate where in the multiverse Ai Apaec is, eventually tracking him to a massive Mohican temple constructed in the asteroid field that once was Earth 666 before it was blown up by Mephisto.

 

Also, Sarah Stacy will talk to the alternate universe version of her mother about how Kaine was proposing to her and before they were shot through reality. She loves him, but thinks it would be too dangerous.

 

The news of Ai Apaec’s location is sent back to Earth 001. Everyone agrees to wait until they have all the troops they need, including Spider-Dragon, before they attack.

 

Superior Spider-Man meanwhile, has been organizing a team of Spider characters of his own….

 

Time Spinner:

 

The robot Spider-Man invented by Kang the Conqueror from Avengers issue 11!

 

Spider-Lizard:

 

A Spider-Man infected by Curt Connors formula!

 

Patton Parnell:

 

A kid very much like Peter Parker, but turned into a monstrous man eating  Spider after his transformation!

 

Spider-man: Agent of HYDRA:

 

A Spider-Man that joined Hydra in an alternate universe where they rule the world

 

Spider-Venom:

 

A version of Spider-Man that chose to remain in the Venom symbiote, becoming more and more violent and angry.

 

Together they are….

 

THE SPIDER SIX!!!

 

Superior Spider-Man also has an ally in female Doc Ock

 

Octavia Otto. She’s working on something for him now though.

 

Superior Spider-Man will attempt to recruit Doc Ock, telling him he has a plan to defeat Ai Apaec,

believing he’s an alternate reality version, but when Doc Ock refuses to join the group and tells Superior Spider-Man that someday, he’s going to change and become a good person, Superior Spider-Man learns Doc Ock’s his identity as a future version of himself.

 

Angry at the future version of himself, he swears vengeance and goes with his Spider Six, despite Doc Ock’s warnings, to begin their plan to defeat Ai Apaec! Superior Spider-Man will think to himself that he has some of the most intelligent and deadly Spider-Man in the multiverse at his side. There was only one Spider from his list of potential candidates he deemed too dangerous…. a Spider-Man he hopes he will never have to face….

 

With the technology of Time Spinner, Superior Spider-Man, and Agent of HYDRA, they are able to injure Ai Apaec, but things go horribly wrong as we reveal why Ai Apaec is here… he’s sucking up the remaining energy of a destroyed world to bring himself to greater power than the any of the Web warriors anticipated him having! Patton Parnell is torn apart! Time Spinner is dismantled! Spider-Venom’s symbiote is burnt to a crisp! Spider-Lizard is eaten alive by Ai Apaec! And Superior Spider-Man…. Ai Apaec keeps him for himself, as he has something special in mind for him….

 

Superior Spider-Man questions if Ai Apaec is really Karen’s brother? Does that mean he’s an inheritor?

 

Ai Apaec is disgusted. The brother of an Inheritor? No! How little they understand of the nature of reality. Master Weaver is a title to be passed down, Karn only the most recent addition, there were Weavers before him: the original weaver, he who created the Web of Life and Death. That was his brother! And when he fell at my hands,  Ai Apaec deserved to be his successor, not banished to an insignificant world to be worshipped by its foolish mortals as a god! Not to be usurped by a parasite of the web, Karn!!!

 

His power now fully regained from the state he had been in while under Norman Osborn’s control in Dark Reign, Ai Apaec imprisons Superior Spider-Man for later, banishes Agent of HYDRA to the furthest reaches of the multiverse, and teleports away to attack Earth 001.

 

Meanwhile, Miles, Ana, Silk, Kaine, Sandman, and Silver Sable prepare to go their separate ways to help find the various Spider heroes missing from their universes, and bring them together to fight Ai Apaec… when Ai Apaec comes to them! Ai Apaec attacks, and the web warriors aren’t even close to being ready! He fights his way through dozens of alternate universe Spider-Men, women, and anime mechas to get the Karn, and then the real battle begins!!!

 

Clash, Spider-Man 2099, Harry, and Spider Ham teleport into earth 001, only to find Spider people around the multiverse retreating and teleporting away!!!

 

In the center of the web of life, Karn and Ai Apaec fight! The battle causes widespread destruction as around the multiverse, characters related to Spider-Man’s life is are tossed through time and space!!! While many attempt to retreat, others, led by Spy-D helps others to evacuate and save as many lives as possible! A terrified Silk doesn’t know what to do. She’s not a superhero! She doesn’t belong here! Silver Sable attempts to get to the web of life and kill Ai Apaec, but is stopped by Sandman, who remembers his employment by and friendship with his Silver Sable. Sable is angered by what Sandman has done, but he teleports her and himself away. Karn tells Ai Apaec he cannot kill him! Only Superior Spider-Man can kill the Master Weaver! The timeline is set! Ai Apaec tells Karn it won’t matter if the timeline is destroyed! Ai Apaec begins to bind Karn in his own web of life, tying him up with realities threads!  Spider-Man of earth x tries to save Karn, but is instead killed in front of his daughter May Parker/ Venom! An enraged May runs at Karn, but is stopped by Spy-D and Captain George Stacy and dragged off to another dimension as attacking Ai Apaec alone would be suicide.

 

Ai Apaec tells Karn he can’t kill him now, but when the web of life is destroyed he will be able to do whatever he wants!!! Ai Apaec begins to manipulate the web of life, allowing him to take over Earth 001! Spy-D is the last one out, having made sure everyone else evacuated first. He saves Spider-Ham, SM 2099, Clash, and Harry just in time.

 

We do a time jump here, and at this point I want to talk about some subplots and themes. A lot of characters in this story, Sandman, Silk, Ana Kravinoff, and eventually Peter Parker and MJ, don’t know why they’re here in this big event about SPIDER-MAN. Some of them don’t know their place, don’t consider themselves heroes, don’t think by any reason they should be connected in the web of life because they don’t have Spider Powers. Peter just doesn’t know why he would be here if he retired. He’s never seen any retired Spider-Men before in these multiverse crossovers. Really, the event is about people finding their place, who they are, why the web of life considers them worthy, and who they want to be.

 

So, we will discover Peter and MJ have been on MC2 staying in the guest room of the Parker’s of that universe. Peter and Peter have been working on building a multiverse teleporter together to get them back to their earth, and both MJ and Peter of MC2 think Peter and MJ of 616 are way too young to be retiring. Peter doesn’t consider it retirement, just a change of career. He still has the company to run and a daughter to raise after all. Still, old Peter and MJ are happy for young Peter and MJ. They made it work. A lot of alternate universe Peter’s and MJ’s haven’t been able to(subtle hint to a future event involving Mephisto’s daughter. It’s not a multiverse thing though, that event, it’s a timeline thing)

 

Anyway, Doc Ock still looking for Spider-dragon alongside

 

Spider-Ant

 

WebMaster

 

Spider-Man Noir

 

And PS4 Spider-Man who will be recruited in a tie in and be happy to see there’s a chance his Doc Ock could still be redeemed. They will eventually make it, in an alternate universe similar to Feudal China, to Tibet, and the Himalayas, where the mystical city of Kun Lun is located. After a fight with some Kung Fu Masters, they’re able to find the cave of Spider-Dragon and convince him to join them in defeating the great evil of Ai Apaec. WebMaster shows the web of life and what is being done to it. The old Dragon decides he will help them if he gets to speak to their leader first. Spider-Ant, Noir, PS4 Spider-Man, and Doc Ock leave while WebMaster stays with Spider-Dragon to discuss things not meant for those without mystical powers.

 

Meanwhile, Miles, Ana, May, Normie, Silk, Spider-Man 2099, and Spy-D, travel to MC2 to pick up Peter and MJ, along with the older May Parker aka Spider Woman. Peter and MJ will emotionally reunite with May, and when Peter realizes Spy-D is a version of his father, have a moment with him too. Older Peter realizes as well, and we get a very strange group hug where Spy-D isn’t completely sure what’s going on.

 

May will get to see the MC2 family again, who she has met and befriended in previous stories.

 

One by one, all the Superheroes, thrown throughout the multiverse, begin to regroup. Spiders-man, The Spider-Man make of Spiders, Assassin Spider-Man, Spidermonkey, Kwaku Anansi, Spider-Punk, SP//dr, Spider-Man India, and more are featured! The joys of a multiverse worth of other ways things could have gone are further revealed to PS4 Spider-Man when he actually gets to meet the Captain George Stacy:

Spider-Cop.

 

It really makes his day.

 

Sarah Stacy will continue to struggle with whether or not to say yes to the proposal. She’s Gabriel Stacy’s brother. What if the Grey Goblin tried to kill Kaine? He could do it.

 

Sandman and Silver Sable have a side adventure in a universe where stories of assassins, hit-men, cat burglars, and mercenaries run rampant in an underworld of codes of honor and secret organizations. The thieves guild and assassins guild reign supreme. In this world of action and suspense Sandman and Silver Sable will fight against criminals like Chance, Deadpool, the Enforcers, Black Cat, Gambit, all in an attempt to get back to the main web warriors team. They’ll unite with this worlds Black Cat and eventually make it back, first helping her make the score of a lifetime.

 

Meanwhile, Doc Ock, not knowing that Ai Apaec has taken over, returns to Earth 001 to find it is now filled with savage Man-Spider’s created by Ai Apaec!

 

 

Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man PS4, and Spider-Ant will be captured, but Doc Ock will just barely escape, until he’s knocked out by Superior Spider-Man!!! Superior Spider-Man switches costumes with Doc Ock, telling him that he was going to be put on trial by Ai Apaec, but now Doc Ock will go in his place. Superior Spider-Man tells him not to worry though, he will find a way, no matter how much he has to warp reality and time, to make sure they never become as weak and spineless as Doc Ock is now!!!

 

Doc Ock is locked up by the Man-Spider’s, then taken to a mock trial by Ai Apaec, who wants to punish Doc Ock for killing the master weaver back when he was still Superior Spider-Man! Doc Ock’s trial ends with him being sentenced to execution by human sacrifice! He’s placed in a prison cell, with a small crack in the wall he can use to talk to a mysterious prisoner in a cell next to his own. Mystery prisoner has an escape plan, and we show neither knows who the other is. Together, they escape, but discover their identities after they get out of the cell….

 

Doc Ock

 

And

 

MORLUN!!!

 

Morlun tries to eat Doc Ock, but is convinced to take part in a temporary truce. Doc Ock reasons, Morlun and his family want food? They need Spider totem’s to survive? Well, Ai Apaec is connected to the web of life, and he can’t die, he’s immortal, so… endless food. Morlun agrees to restrain himself for now, and helps Doc Ock to break out Spider-Ant, Noir, and PS4 Spider-Man. Now one trusts Morlun, and for good reason. This isn’t a superhero-superhero team up like the Avengers. This is like when the Justice League has to team up with Darkseid. This is a Clarice/ Hannibal Lector team up. Which is actually pretty fitting considering Morlun will on multiple occasions in this story be seen literally drooling due to how much he wants to eat Spider-people.

 

Ai Apaec will explain to the still captive Karn that he wants to bring the multiverse back to the glory days, the good old days when a Spider totem would work directly for Ai Apaec, when human sacrifice would be committed in his name! The world has changed too much, people have forgotten Ai Apaec, or invoke him only for petty, trivial things then attempt to ensnare him in traps like Norman Osborn did!

 

The Superheroes will all reunite on a unified front, traveling from universe to universe within the giant robot Leopardon. Searching for missing Spider-people.  We will get some tie-in books through this. We can get one dealing with the Spider Women teaming up, Gwen, Sarah, Mayday, and May for example, with others too. Maybe the Renew your vows Annie Parker. We get the previously mentioned Sandman/ Silver Sable story. We get to see some individual heroes stories like Spiderman Noir and the 60’s cartoon Spider-Man. As well as origin stories for the new heroes we’ve introduced. There will be a subplot of Spider-Gwen and her alternate universe father teaming up. Captain Stacy understands they aren’t related and they both have a real father and daughter, but wants to stick near Gwen as part of a way to keep himself tied to something in a very crazy and chaotic multiverse. He’s a simple Spider Cop and hasn’t done the multiverse thing before. So they have some fun adventures.

 

Spider Ma’am is Aunt May as a Spider hero. She was bit by the spider instead of Peter. Eventually, her identity was revealed to her Peter and Uncle Ben, but after this, the three would work together as a crime fighting team. Peter created web shooters for her to use in defending New York from evil. In a tie in we will reveal she joined the multiverse web warriors because her Peter and Ben were both killed by Ai Apaec.

 

However, seeing all these multiversal Peter’s she will realize it wasn’t her fault and she raised Peter right. She will also meet Spider-Ben and Spider-Pete, who all cheer each other up together. They form a team and team Spider-Ma’am is back and better than ever.

 

Web Slinger and the Savage Spider-Man quickly become friends and ally’s, which is interesting to see considering one is a cowboy and one is a version of Tarzan combined with Spider-Man. The two will form a partnership as they travel the multiverse finding spider people to join their cause, at one point both of their universes Wilson Fisk’s meet and they have to fight them. One Wilson Fisk is a wealthy land baron who once tried to organize a gang of bandits to attack Web Slingers hometown in an attempt to buy the destroyed property and get the gold underneath it. He also once tied Mary Jane to railroad tracks. The Wilson Fisk of Savage Spider-Man’s universe is a poacher who has on multiple occasions invaded the Savage Land and has had to be defeated by Savage Spider-Man.

 

Spider-Byte and WebMaster will work together to try and find a way to weaken Ai Apaec. Using Spider-Byte’s technological knowledge and Webmaster’s mystical skills Spider-Byte will transform herself into Patternmaker. She can read connections in the Web of Life and eventually on the final battle, she will forge these connections into mystical armor that helps to shield everyone from Ai Apaec’s attacks. She will also use these abilities, to track down the lost spider-people.

 

They will unite on the planet that Spider-Dragon is home too. Spy-D will manage to convince Spider-Dragon to join them in an assault on earth 001 against Ai Apaec.

 

MJ and Peter will join in on the upcoming battle, but rationalize if they don’t wear their costumes while they fight and they use the Spider Mobile to do most of the work they technically are still retired.

 

Most of the Spider Verse, Silk most of all,  is horrified by Morlun but the situation is explained and the decision is made Morlun can help during the fight, but he needs to be kept in a muzzle, electroshock collar, and handcuffs while on board. Morlun has to keep reminding himself that he’s getting a Spider-deity  to eat at the end of this.

 

We get to see things are cold between Ana and Miles after the argument about what to do about Silk. Miles wants to save her, but doesn’t know what will happen to time. What if they accidentally get her killed?

 

Cindy will want to help save reality, thinking maybe this is what Ezekiel trained her for, and be trained some more by older and more experienced Spider-heroes as they prepare for the fight of their lives.

 

Ana comforts Silk and tells her about how she can be a hero, she can be whoever she wants to be, the multiverse proves that. Sarah overheard that and has something to think about.

 

Silver Sable suits up with weapons from throughout the multiverse so she can be ready to avenge her husband.

 

In order to overcome boredom, Morlun decided to threaten to eat of the younger Spiderchildren like Normie and May. He’s not going to, but he likes seeing his potential prey scared. Peter and MJ electrocute Morlun for being a jerk to their daughter.

 

With a massive battle axe, Ai Apaec chops through strands of the web of life, and now it is weak enough so he can reweave it in his own image, reweave it to give him the destiny that allows him to kill Karn and become the new Master Weaver.

 Patternmaker gives everyone their mystical armor.

 

A portal between realities opens in the sky, an epic battle begins, in the comic I would put a two page spread of every hero coming out of the sky, with Leoparden in the center riding on the giant Spider-Dragon!

 

Ai Apaec begins to warp reality, but is injured by Spider Dragon's webs!  

 

Morlun betrays the heroes, waiting until Ai Apaec is knocked off the web of life by Leopardon, then taking over, preparing to reweave reality so that the Inheritors reign supreme with every version of Spider-Man in their food pens! Peter Parker leaps into action, and then… Morlun recognizes him. Peter tells Morlun that’s right, he’s the earth 616 Spider-Man. The one that successfully beaten him… how many times? And now…. now there’s only one Morlun left. He doesn’t have any clones to send his soul into? Well, if you die  this time, I guess you die for real? A horrified Morlun runs away in terror and MJ and Peter, still in their Spider Mobile, wonder who that Peter was that was pretending to be him.

 

That Peter Parker is revealed to in reality be…. SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!!!!

 

He takes hold of the web of life, he will not fail! He will not become weak and spineless again! Peter realizes he’s doing it again, just like the first time this happened, and Doc Ock leaps into the Web of Life to battle his younger self. Doc Ock tells Superior Spider-Man he hasn’t become weaker, he’s only evolved! Doesn’t he realize? Everything changes, no one is the same person they were ten years ago, there are infinite possibilities! You change with the times, evolve for the better! Superior Spider-Man refuses to believe it, claiming if what he becomes is an evolution, it’s an evolutionary dead end! Doc Ock manages to defeat his younger self in battle, showing off his more advanced robot arms he was able to build by changing and having new ideas.

 

He tells his past self that someday he will be happy, the public will love him, and so too, will Anna Maria. Learning about Anna Maria, Superior Spider-Man allows his memory to be erased, and is sent back to his own reality through the web. We reveal this version of Superior Spider-Man is the one from the first Spiderverse, who will go on to kill the Masterweaver and try to reshape reality, having deja by as he does so. But, eventually, he’s defeated, is put back into the time line, and goes on to the Doc Ock we know and love, brought back in the Clone Conspiracy and sent on a redemption arc.

 

Ai Apaec, having healed from his injuries, knocks Doc Ock around the web, and attempt to kill Karn. Cindy Moon will leap in front of Ai Apaec’s blade and by killed saving Karn.

 

Miles, angry that Cindy was killed, will attack Ai Apaec, pushing him in line of Leopardon’s  blast radius. Ana will comfort Miles and tell him they can still save Cindy with the web of life.

 

Spy-D fights Ai Apaec in a one on one fight!

 

The two of them, Ana and Miles, take control of the web of life together, bringing Cindy back to life and also, separating her from the timeline, setting up walls and blockers in reality to leave reality surrounding her in a state of “what if?”, making it so she can safely be in the future without it affecting the past, and also, there are other things they can fix! They begin repairing the web of life, fixing the destroyed Earth 666, turning it back in time from its destruction, then forward in time along an alternate way things could have gone, back from the war torn wasteland it had been to a paradise created from the remains of a war torn wasteland! Wait! Venom/May Parker of earth x is running at Ai Apaec! He’ll kill her… unless they bring back her father from the dead as THE OTHER!!!

 

Ai Apaec battles the other, who beats him around across the web of life!

 

This is great, now they should… no, this might be too much power, they should stop changing things… Ai Apaec then attacks! Doc Ock releases Karn from the webs he’s tied in, and Karn retakes control of the Web Of Life, opening a portal to a world where he can trap Ai Apaec and Morlun. Silver Sable personally kicks Ai Apaec into the portal.... but he’s still holding on! Venom/May Parker finishes him by kicking him the rest of the way in!

 

Ai Apaec climbs out of the crater to assess his surroundings. Some things in the fog are chanting: “Food! Food! Food!”

 

He realizes he’s landed in some sort of post apocalyptic wasteland.

 

“Food! Food!”

 

“Spppiiiddddeeerrrrr”

 

We see Morlun’s glowing eyes right before the Inheritor family attacks from all sides!

 

Karn tells them not to worry. He’s immortal. He’ll be fine,just trapped on one planet too weak to escape and wreak havoc again. He then reveals he was sending the idea of doing this into Doc Ock’s mind on purpose using the web of life to tap into Webmaster’s psychic abilities. His goal? Well, once the Inheritors eat a Spider-deity, that level of power will permanently satiate their appetites. Octavia Otto reveals more child like clones of the Inheritors that their minds begin to transfer to(not Solus though, he doesn’t get a clone). Karn tells them the Inheritors are too dangerous a threat, and when Ai Apaec attacked, he saw a chance to solve two problems. The child Inheritors are given to Spider Ma’am, aka Aunt May of another universe. She asks the Inheritors if they’re hungry…. because she has wheat cakes!

 

Patternmaker uses her technology to reinvigorate the web of life, reshaping it and reforming it after Ai Apaec has torn many strands of it apart. She creates a computer algorithm to form a version of the Web of Life in the form it had been before Ai Apaec attacked, but she can’t fix it alone! With the power of WebMaster combined with her own, she merges the World Wide Web with the Web of Life, using the algorithm to put things back into place.

 

All the Superheroes go back their own ways, Miles and Ana make up, everyone has has learned some lessons along the way, Spider-Dragon gives some dragon wisdom and leaves, Kaine decided to give Silver Sable some universe hopping technology so she can wire it into her ARC and send herself and her people to another earth where land still exists and the waters are safer, May Parker/ Venom reunited with her father who is getting used to being The Other, PS4 Spiderman says goodbye to Doc Ock, as well as Captain Stacy, telling him he’s probably the coolest thing ever, and finally, which earth does Sable choose to move too…. Earth 616!!!!!

 

Finally, they take Cindy back to earth 616 to go see her family. Cindy watches from afar but isn’t ready to reveal herself yet.

 

Reality has been saved and we end with everyone getting to go home after a long odyssey and adventure.

 

The End

 

Fun thing about this sprawling and epic multiverse crossover? Yeah, that’s not the endgame of all this. We’re just getting started.

 

SPIDER-GOBLIN MINISERIES

 

We begin with narration:

 

When the Web of Life and Death vibrated, Spiders across the multiverse were shot through time and space, some had more dramatic travels, others… went forward in time only one minute.

 

Spider-Goblin/ earth 666 Phil Urich sleeps in his bed. He suddenly disappears. His roommate Boomerang bursts into the apartment with a girl he picked up. He peaks into his own room, which is a mess, then into Phil’s empty and very clean room, and tells the girl it’s his. Phil Urich reappears and yells at his roommate. Boomerang claims it was dark and he thought it was his room. Phil, no longer able to sleep, gets up, passes the girl asking Boomerang why there’s a week old box of pizza in his bed, and turns on the tv, thinking about how he can be a better hero, because due to the goblin theme of his costume, no matter what good he does, everyone thinks he’s a villain, when he learns Peter Parker, The Slingers, the Superior Six, and every other Spider based hero on earth have disappeared.

 

Boomerang, noticing the news, grabs a bag containing his supervillain suit and says he has to leave.

 

Phil also has to leave, thinking that the city is in danger now more than ever and they need a hero. The girl is left alone in the apartment and begins to unplug and carry away their tv.

 

Phil goes to stop a robbery being done by robots at an abandoned Life Foundation Lab. Onlookers run in horror, yelling that it’s Gabriel Stacy!!!! Phil yells back that he’s not even Grey! His suit is red, blue, and green!

 

Phil battles the robots, when suddenly, A Tri-Sentinel leaps out of the building!!! Norah Winters is here taking notes, and Phil saves her from being stepped on. She thanks Spider-Goblin, and promises to put a good word in for him in her new blog: “Winters is coming.” Spider-Goblin tells her he likes the reference. He can’t afford the channel the show is on, but still. She asks that he put her down on the street, she’s not finished getting the story yet. She asks if the robots are sentient. Could she get an interview? Phil tells her he doesn’t think so, gets her to the ground, and runs to fight the Tri-Sentinel! A reporter from the Bugle meanwhile is also there, and can’t believe Spider-Goblin would leave someone in the middle of danger like that! He didn’t even leave Norah on a rooftop!

 

Phil will get into the tri-sentinel and reprogram it, destroying the robots, and smashing open the Life Foundation building and destroying the controls Mendel Stromm is working on. He will then, hearing of more crimes and rioting nearby in all the areas that were usually patrolled by the Slingers, decide to use the tri sentinel to fight back and scare all the criminals into going home with his giant robot. He will not notice he is causing accidental property damage wherever he goes,and Mendel Stromm will burst into tears at how everything has gone wrong.  Eventually, the Avengers show up to tell Spider-Goblin to stop. They’ll be picking up the slack while the Slingers are gone from here. Phil will realize the damage he just caused as he is chewed out by Captain America, which is the worst individual in the entire marvel universe to be chewed out by because

 

Captain America is not mad, he’s just disappointed.

 

Norah Winters tracks Spider-Goblin down in the aftermath, who advises him to keep trying. Even Peter Parker made mistakes when he first started out. Spider-Goblin will thank her for tracking him down just to say that, and  Norah will then reveal the real reason she tracked him down is to get a selfie with him for her blog.

 

Next, we get a guest star issue with THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST. After what happened with the Tri-Sentinel, Danny Rand, believing Spider-Goblin is a villain, goes after him. There’s a fight, and eventually Danny Rand learns Spider-Goblin is a hero. Danny Rand thinks Spider-Goblin is really bad at heroism though. He’s too erratic, distracted by every little thing, be it what people say about him or his own insecurities. Because of this, he destroys without trying to. Danny decides to try and teach Spider-Goblin calming meditation. Then, they learn a nearby museum has had its silent alarm triggered, and go there, where they discover and battle Boomerang, who when he first realizes there are superheroes, claims he’s here to stop the real thief, who just went that way! They don’t fall for it and fight him, but he eventually escapes but fails to rob the museum.

 

Meanwhile Ben Urich, still thinking about how he has no memory for twenty four hours after being gassed by a mysterious woman, now working for the Daily Bugle,  is arriving at the The Slingers Base, which has been taken over by a group calling itself the Goblin-Busters, who are refusing to leave until their demands are heard. Ben allows himself to be taken by them so he can speak to their leader inside… who is revealed to be a woman named Ranjeeta Ratha, the widow of the man that would be transformed by Norman Osborn into Proto-Goblin. She explains her motives for taking over the Slingers Base. This city has gone one day without The Slingers, and in that time, we have had an entire city block demolished by a giant robot battle. That isn’t right, we rely on superheroes for everything, allowing them to destroy cities battling their enemies. There has to be a better way, do we want what happened to Houston Texas when the Rhino fought Captain Universe to happen here? Superheroes will only ever lead to extremes. A villain and a heroes personal rival leading to one upping the other back and forth, like the Slingers and the Goblin Nation, and regular people, like her husband, are caught in the crossfire. Her organization, the Goblin Busters, demand that Mayor Fisk ban all vigilantism and bring in people who can actually handle criminals like Gabriel Stacy or Mendel Stromm. They release Ben Urich with his notes on the conversation.

 

Meanwhile, Scorpion and Stegron the dinosaur man have teamed up together to take over the city, and we reveal Stegron has been using genetic engineering to get rid of the one weakness the killing machines known as Tyrannosaurus Rex had. He presents to Scorpion a T-Rex clone with Scorpion pincers for arms and a giant Scorpion Tail!!!

 

Meanwhile, Phil Urich aka Spider Goblin, will have to deal with a rogue faction of the Goblin Busters taking things to far and trying to kill him. He webs them up and leaves, and Ranjeeta Ratha will inform the press she does not condone the actions of the extremists that tried to kill Spider-Goblin. Mayor Fisk will announce to New York, our heroes have failed us by leaving in our time of need. He will pardon Ranjeeta Ratha for breaking into the Slingers base, as well as all members of Goblin Busters. The five goblin busters that tried to kill Spider-Goblin, are now part of his newest program to make the city safe: a mayoral sponsored team of heroes to replace the vigilantes of New York, this specific team put together to capture the fugitive Spider-Goblin: THE SPIDER-GOBLIN BUSTERS.

 

Wilson Fisk meets with Ranjeeta, who informs him she’s strongly against the Spider-Goblin busters, and that he’s just as much of a crook as Norman Osborn was.

 

After returning home after all the crime fighting he’s had to do with everyone else gone, Phil comments someone stole their tv. Fred tells him it’s fine, this is the age of streaming anyway. Phil thinks it was the girl Fred brought back. The one he left here. Fred denies it, claiming he met the girl when she helping a buddy of his move out of his place free of charge. Just to be a nice person! He wasn’t even home when she got everything into the truck! Phil thinks that sounds like an excuse made up by a really bad liar who’s robbing an apartment and someone just walked in on it. Fred says he’ll get the tv back, and reveals there’s something Phil doesn’t know about him: he reveals he’s Boomerang! Phil reveals he’s Spider-Goblin, and webs Boomerang up, demanding to know why he shouldn’t turn him in! Boomerang tells him: because he can’t pay for the apartment without him! Spider-Goblin thinks, and decides after some hesitation  it’s not good enough!

 

Boomerang tells Phil it’s like with him! He’s a hero, the media just thinks he’s a villain. Spider-Goblin thinks about their fight, an his battle against The Iron Fist, could he have made the same mistake against Boomerang? Spider-Goblin thinks. That makes sense. They shake hands and Spider-Goblin comments it’s time for a superhero team up!

 

The two spend the day speaking to Boomerang’s “underworld contacts” and tracking down the girl, bonding as they take a break to get lunch together. They eventually find the girl who lives in a hoarder apartment filled with peoples stuff.

 

Spider Goblin webs the girl up and Boomerang gets the TV. Later, they return to the apartment and set it back up, but what neither realize… is there’s a bomb inside that could destroy the entire building!!!!

 

Angelface uses chemicals to dissolve the webbing and free the girl, thanking her for her help in destroying Phil Urich once and for all!!! The girl reveals she’s actually Elyse Nelson aka The Chameleon, who compliments herself on her performance before taking the money of Angelface and leaving.

 

Fred will be happy to have a real friend again, commenting on how this time it will be different. No betrayals, no pushing people off bridges, this time will be different.

 

Phil hears a ticking noise and thinks it’s coming from the TV. He opens up the back and some machinery Fred confirms is a bomb is revealed inside! Fred doesn’t have any EMP boomerangs, so they’re going to have to shut it off some other way. They run to the roof then Phil uses a web line to toss it into the sky with an added distance from Fred attaching the rockets on his shoes to the tv,  and Phil web it up so the explosion does as little damage as possible. Phil and Fred calm down with the danger over and congratulate each other on how awesome they both were.

 

Meanwhile, an army of Scorpion/ Dinosaur hybrids is released on Wall Street. While this is happening, Scorpion and his gang force all the Wall Street bankers to buy stock in Scorpion Inc, which is a corporation that does nothing and sells no product, it just exists so billions of dollars can be put into it in this heist. Scorpion tells Stegron they just made back ten times what it cost to create the dinosaur hybrids.

 

Spider-Goblin will head there, deciding he can’t use the Tri-Sentinel, as it’s way too destructive, and he’s going to have to fight these dinosaur-Scorpions himself. He tries and fails, webbing up two or three, who quickly use their acid firing Scorpion tails to dissolve the webbing. Phil realizes he has to knock them unconscious, and thinks of using a car, which the owner of threatens to sue him over if he dares to throw it at the Hybrid SCORPION-REX. He does it anyway, and does the same with multiple large vehicles, knocking out all thirtyfive dinosaurs then webbing them up while saving civilians. Scorpion and Stegron escape with the cash. JJ Jameson’s blog describes how Spider-Goblin committed 35 acts of grand theft auto and property damage, as well as animal abuse against an endangered species, and seemingly allying himself with the villains by allowing them a chance to escape while he distracted the police with his wanton destruction! And that’s not even the worst part!!! The worst thing is….

 

Spider-Goblin tells Boomerang what happened at home. It’s all over the news. He missed on of the dinosaurs and the car landed on an orphanage…. for the blind. Luckily, no one was hurt, they were all out on a field trip to the opera, but now all these blind orphans are going to be separated and sent to different orphanages and it’s his fault. Boomerang will try and fail to cheer Spider Goblin up with Call of Duty Latveria, promising that this time he’ll let him play, just let him do a few levels first, and Phil leaves through the window.

 

Phil goes to Ranjeeta Ratha, first battling the Spider-Goblin Busters, who throughout the past few issues have been being outfitted with awesome weapons and being built up as major threats, taking each of them out on a few seconds with some web bombs, the going to ask Ratha her how he can be a better hero.

 

Ranjeeta Ratha tells Phil. If you wants to be considered a hero you should act like one….

 

Phil leaps out the window.

 

And Ranjeeta finishes her sentence: ….and turn yourself in to the authorities… oh. He’s gone.

 

Phil will decide. This city needs a real hero, not Spider-Goblin. He tosses the Spider-Goblin costume into the river in a chained up briefcase, and prepares a new one. The costume of an actual hero:  

 

A costume designed to never show signs of faltering in the search for justice!

 

A costume that shows strength, willpower, and optimism!

 

A costume that says: approach me police and reporters! I’m a superhero!

 

 

PRODIGY!

 

Phil assumes the Las Vegas Slingers will have a problem with this, but… there are like three wolverines? He’s sure it’s okay.

 

Prodigy will become a media darling and attempt to woo Norah Winters, who finds him boring and uninteresting. His friendship with Boomerang becomes strained, as Spider-Goblin becomes more and more self righteous, and Kingpin attempts to put him on his payroll. Prodigy refuses. Ranjeeta Ratha still dislikes Prodigy, but claims he’s at least better than Spider-Goblin. Phil will visit Ben Urich as Prodigy, hoping it will change things, but it doesn’t. Ben is proud of Phil, but he can’t look at him without thinking of his universe’s Phil. Prodigy gets various deals to advertise products on his costume, and makes enough money to move into his own apartment far away from Boomerang. Prodigy will get a cease and desist order in the mail from the Slingers of Vegas but ignores it. Eventually, while robbing an armored car to let off some steam, Boomerang will be approached by Shocker, who needs his help with a heist. Boomerang thinks the whole gang is coming back together, but Shocker tells him it’s not the case, it’s just him, and maybe Overdrive as the getaway guy if he’ll answer his calls. Boomerang decides he’ll take it!

 

Meanwhile, Angelface and her gang take over the Daily Bugle and hold everyone within hostage. Angelface claims she will let everyone go, but only if Spider-Goblin comes to meet her. If any others try to enter the building besides Spider Goblin, she’ll blow the whole place up! Phil decides to get his old Spider-Goblin suit, leaping into the Hudson River to get it from the bottom of the river, then returns at long last to meet Angelface.

 

Police have surrounded the building and will explain everything. Angelface is on the top floor. Directly below her are the hostages. In between are mercenaries: Joystick, Purge, and Steel Slammer. Phil will realize those are all enemies the 616 version of him fought in the past. Angelface must think he’s the same person who fought her years ago. The chief of police tells Spider-Goblin he never liked him, but if he gets those hostages out safely he takes everything back.

 

Phil enters the Daily Bugle, working his way up and battling Purge, defeating him and webbing him up. He’ll get into the air vents and elevator shaft to make his way up further. He’ll be caught between Joystick and Steel Slammer in a fight, but manage to trick them into knocking each other out and get to the hostages, learning that Norah Winters has been following behind him the whole time getting info for her blog. Spider-Goblin will tell her to stay behind him as he goes to free all the hostages, including Uncle Ben Urich, and Betty Brant. Norah will badmouth Prodigy as a hero and talk about how much she prefers Spider-Goblin. To be honest, Prodigy is probably some dude bro loser. Spider-Goblin changes the subject. No sign of Angelface so far.

 

Boomerang, while robbing a jewelry store with Shocker, takes a break to eat some food left in a back room office mini fridge. He checks a news app on his phone as he does so and see’s what’s happening with Spider-Goblin. He thinks for a minute. The old gang, or his new friend. Boomerang tells everyone sorry, but he needs to go be Han Solo at the end of A New Hope. Shocker asks Overdrive what that’s supposed to mean.

 

Meanwhile, Ben thinks he can hear a ticking noise and takes Phil and Norah into another room to tell them he thinks the bomb is near.

 

Joystick, having woken up, will attack Phil, and he’ll defeat her, but not before she rips off his mask.

 

With the mask off, a shocked Norah comments this is actually a nightmare she’s had. Well, in the nightmare she was also on stage with no clothes on and everyone was laughing at her, but still: WHAT IS HAPPENING??!!!

 

Phil and Ben both explain together to Norah. He’s not Phil, he’s an alternate reality version of Phil where Phil is a Super…. anti hero? Phil tells Ben he was right the first time. He’s a superhero. Our Phil is dead though, and this Phil is a very different person. Winters tries to take this in and finds it “messed up”

 

She asks how he hasn’t been arrested yet. He looks exactly like a known super powered mass murderer. Phil explains he wears glasses and his hair is styled differently. It seems to work. Norah realizes Ben must have known this whole time and never told her, and she realizes maybe this is like the dream and she was being laughed at by everyone. Phil tries to say sorry. Phil realizes his spider sense is still going off even with all the mercenaries beaten, and it seems to be caused by Ben.

 

Ben Urich explains, he was kidnapped a few months ago. He didn’t remember anything, he just woke up back home when it was over. Now he knows why, Angelface planted a bomb inside of him, a bomb that will go off if he leaves the Daily Bugle!

 

Angelface will finally attack, battling Phil, commenting on how he thought she was dead, but she’s back! She wants to scar her face, drive her crazy, well now it’s payback!!! Phil demands to know how to stop the bomb, she says he can’t. If Ben Urich leaves the building it explodes! How do you like that Phil! Phil will explain to her he’s not her Phil Urich, he’s from another universe! Phil Urich is dead! Angelface begins to have a mental break and returns to the catatonic state she had been in inside Ravencroft.

 

Ben tells Phil to get everyone out of the building. Leave him. Phil and Ben both cry and hug each other. Boomerang arrives, and asks if they need a EMP boomerang. They save Ben by shutting off the bomb with the boomerang. The hostages are led out, Norah posts on her blog an exclusive story about Spider-Goblin’s heroism, and Boomerang, learning Shocker and Overdrive were captured,  decides he’s going to have to betray Phil. Boomerang robs the Daily Bugle and disappears in a smoke bomb boomerang, leaving to pay their bail. Spider-Goblin feels betrayed, but decides it’s probably better this way. Boomerang is a criminal after all. Still, he had been kinda hoping for a roommate. He can’t afford his apartment anymore without the money he was making advertising as Prodigy. Ben Urich offers to let Phil crash at his place for a while.

AMAZING SLINGERS ARC 7: prelude to Long Live The King

 

With this arc, everyone has returned from weeks of time travel and dimensional travel to New York City. During their time in the year 2099 and dimension hopping throughout the multiverse, the Slingers, The Spectacular Six, and the Parker Family have been missing for a month. During this time, there have been some big changes, but none of them know about it yet. Anna Maria Marconi has been running Parker Industries in everyone’s absence, but at Alchemax,... we’ll we reveal that in Spectacular Six.

 

Now that Miles is finally back from his journey, he needs to find his uncle, who has had his body taken over by the consciousness of Cletus Cassidy living in the symbiote. To find him, he needs to find Shriek, and to find Shriek, he heads to her ex boyfriend Hypno Hustler’s hideout. He ends up running into Kate Bishop, who wants to help him because she was there when his uncle's body was taken over.

 

Meanwhile…

 

After the Slingers last saved New York, defeating Mr. Negative, and taking down the Master Of Crime, which had plagued the city in secret for years, a Slingers Day has been organized in New York, with Kaine, Sarah, Peter Parker, MJ, Normie,  and May set to receive a key to the city on behalf of The Slingers. Miles tells everyone why he can’t make it and goes to find his uncle.

 

The parade and key giving goes great, May and Normie both don’t have to go to school until after lunch. The parade is still going great, save for a problem with some weird bluish colored bugs. The Slingers are up on stage enjoying themselves, at the end of the parade, when suddenly dozens of Itsy-Bitsy’s rush the stage! Itsy Bitsy is a woman with the powers of both Deadpool and Peter Parker, plus, some added stuff regarding being atomized making her come back as a bunch of herself.

 

SPIDER-WOMEN 1

 

The battle begins as the Slingers must protect civilians and get them away from the parade as an army of ravenous clones make Deadpool like jokes in unison. MJ doesn’t have powers or access to her old Iron Spider Suit, which was destroyed recently when Aaron Davis stole it. But, May has powers and is protecting her mom while trying to get her away from the parade that has erupted into an all out brawl. The Itsy Bitsy’s seem to be going specifically after May. Peter gets into contact with Anna Maria who is hiding under a parade float of Doctor Octopus with a laser gun shooting at Itsy Bitsy’s then going back under to hide. Anna explains that she used some gadgets she had to determine the Itsy Bitsy’s have a hive mind, all tracing back to a prime Itsy Bitsy. If they find the prime, they can stop them all!

 

Peter, Normie, and Kaine end up getting captured, and so the ones left to find the prime Itsy Bitsy are

 

May

MJ

Anna Maria

Sarah Stacy/ Ghost Spider

 

They’ll work together, using Anna Maria’s tech to track down the prime, and we learn that Itsy Bitsy was sent by a mystery benefactor to kidnap May. The Itsy Bitsy’s coming into a giant made of Itsy Bitsy’s. They manage to electrically shock Itsy Bitsy into unconsciousness and the every version except the prime crumble to dust, leaving just the original.

 

She’s taken away to prison, and...

 

After the parade ends and May and Normie go to school though…..

 

I want the young May Parker to have some villains of her own, so I’m bringing in the villain responsible for Spider Island and that time Spider-Man turned into a giant spider, died, then gave birth to himself(that was how marvel decided to give him organic webbing like in the movies)

 

SPIDER-WOMEN 2

 

So, The Spider-Queen is alive and has new plans to take control of the web of life while it is still being repaired and is vulnerable. To do this, she has chosen to establish a dynasty of Spider’s including her new sidekick, Itsy Bitsy, as well as May, who she plans to brainwash into thinking she’s her daughter: the Spider-Princess.

 

So, the Queen first sends Itsy Bitsy to attack May’s school and abduct her. Normie and May, who have classes together, battle Itsy Bitsy.

 

Meanwhile, at 30 Rockefeller Center, which for the past few months in a running joke has had the new addition of a cryogenically frozen giant Tarantula in its rooftop, the Queen collects blood samples from the frozen Tarantula, who at one point was the actual villain Tarantula. She takes the samples and leaves.

 

Miles and Kate Bishop, meanwhile, battles Hypno Hustler, eventually convincing him to give him the information on Shriek’s hideouts. Hypno Hustler is able to convince Miles to let him be his inside man. You want me to snitch, I’ll snitch! Miles takes some sonic weapons from Hypno-Hustler, and tells him to look into The Jackal, Wilson Fisk, and Gabriel Stacy. Miles will become more comfortable with Kate, and decide this is all right. Sure, it’s a little weird, but this Kate is a very different person, a great platonic ally in the fight against evil. Kate tries to kiss him and Miles leaps off a building to avoid it. She demands to know why he’s being weird, he thinks about the history of earth 1610, the death of Peter Parker, him dating a Kate Bishop that in his universe was a hydra agent,  the time he gave the Molecule Man a cheeseburger, Secret Wars( he’s one of the only people to remember secret wars due to the cheeseburger thing) and everything that goes along with it, and decides it would be much too difficult to explain. He tells Kate he has to go and he’ll see her the next time all the superheroes have to team up to fight Thanos or something.

 

Normie and May defeat Itsy Bitsy who escapes into the sewers they follow her down and a chase begins until THE QUEEN arrives, referring to May as Princess and using her sonic scream powers to attack Normie’s Symbiote and knock him out. May has heard of The Queen and tries to catch her off guard with jokes like her father would. The Queen notices this, and behaving in a maternal way tell’s May that the jokes and refusal to accept his responsibility as a totem kept her father from fulfilling his destiny, and that she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her. May yells stranger danger as she punches The Queen, so obviously the Queen was not convincing enough.  Itsy Bitsy joins the fight. May grabs Normie and turns to run. She’s eventually captured though, and knocked unconscious.

 

Meanwhile, the Jackal/ Richard Fitzgerald meets with the Queen and we learn he’s recreated the formula that turned Tarantula into a giant spider. They’re going to distribute it throughout the city. Even Jackal, who is an evil Doppelganger, thinks that the use of May is unnecessary, but decides it’s for the greater good. He leaves to head back to his own sinister machinations, involving a meeting with Gabriel Stacy.

 

May meanwhile, attempts to escape. .She wishes the Slingers were here to help her, but her parents taught her to be independent and take care of herself. So she can handle this. She’s a superhero, but she’s just a little kid though, and she’s scared. This is a tough situation for a kid to be in. And to escape she has to try and be calm and overcome her fear.

 

The Queen returns before May can escape, and claims it is the destiny of one of May’s lineage to be a totem. She will be the princess of an empire that will stretch across the web of life! Little girls like princesses don’t they? And hasn’t she always wanted an older sister? Well here’s Itsy Bitsy, and she likes her little jokes so much? Itsy Bitsy has jokes. May manages to escape, tries and fails to throw the chemical box at the villains as they grab it and put it down. The Queen decides to give up on convincing her. Children are idiots anyway. She’ll thank her when she’s older. The Queen attempts to inject May with the serum by throwing syringes at her. May dodges, webs up the Queen’s eyes, then destroys the serum and runs away. Itsy Bitsy goes after her, realizes May has left behind several traps such as web line tripwire and webs attached to large boxes that will fall on you. Itsy Bitsy cries out that it’s like Home Alone! May comments it’s more like Home Alone 2 because Itsy Bitsy has just…Lost in New York.

 

May attacks from behind, knocking Itsy Bitsy out.

 

Meanwhile, Carnage, Doppelganger, and Shriek are reunited. But, they aren’t ready yet. If Carnage is going to make his big back to life comeback, he’s going to need to bring the full gang back together!!!

 

The villains attack Alchemax, which has been contracted by SHIELD to try and develop a cure for the Carrion virus in the event it ever gets out. To do so, Alchemax scientists are studying Malcolm McBride, who uses to be the villain Carrion but was cured. Malcolm has volunteered to do these procedures as he doesn’t want what happened to him to happen to others. Shriek, Doppelganger, and Carnage attack, killing scientists and forcefully infecting the horrified Malcolm before escaping into the sewers with Carrion!!!!

 

The Queen discovers the destroyed chemicals, then yells out that Princess is going to be getting a lot worse than a time out for this! May kicks The Queen and tells her she’s not her mother.

 

The Queen begins to transform into a Man-Spider like creature, asking May if it wouldn’t be better if she was. May responds with a no and runs for her life from the Spider monster. We discover this base is the same one from Spider Island that was in Central Park. While running, May considers how terrifying this situation is. Gabriel Stacy, Carnage, and The Inheritors are in the top three villains she’s scared of, she might have to move The Queen onto the list. She’s top three material. The Queen roars and May decides to think of something else.

 

She wonders why there aren’t more female Spider-Man villains. I mean, Shriek has become kinda big lately, but other than that… White Rabbit? Lady Octopus? You know what… it’s a bit refreshing running from a female giant monster that wants to eat you. It’s a bit of a change anyway. May finds some of Miles Warren’s old technology and begins to tamper with it to try and make a bomb. She finds the exit to the underground base and escapes, blowing it up and trapping the Queen inside, and overcoming her fears. She then asks to borrow a nearby woman’s phone as she needs to call her parents. Later, SHIELD looks over the wreckage, finding Itsy Bitsy but not The Queen, who has disappeared. The Parker Family reunites, Peter Parker is worried, as The Queen is one of the most dangerous threats he’s ever fought, but May claims if she comes back it’ll be fine because she can beat her.

 

Miles Morales meets with Sarah Stacy and Kaine and they will work together to find the team of villains, realizing what Carnage does next will have to be connected to Demogoblin in some way because he’s trying to bring back the Maximum Carnage Gang. Venom and Antidote( Alternate Universe Anne Weying bonded with AntiVenom.) will arrive and join, as if they’re going to stop Carnage they’ll need help.

 

So,

 

Miles

Venom

Antidote

Ghost Spider

Kaine

 

VS

 

Carnage

Shriek

Doppelganger

Carrion

 

And potentially Demogoblin if they can get him.

 

Maximum Carnage will attack Robbie Reyes/ Ghost Rider, and after a fight, Carnage reveals he remembers some spells from the time he owned the Darkhold. He will use a spell to send the Demogoblin demon to push out what is possessing Robbie now and replace it!!!

 

Robbie becomes Demogoblin and the old gang is back together!!!

 

Meanwhile, MJ has decided she misses acting, and wants to return to the career, getting a role in American Crime Story: The People v. Mysterio, as Mysterio’s ex who dies in a tragic fire: Miranda Wilson. Unfortunately, she has to work with her ex-Bobby Carr, who is playing Mysterio. Bobby Carr has just gotten out of rehab for using mutant growth hormone, and claims to be a changed man to the press, but is angry and indignant on set, often refusing to leave his trailer. The real Mysterio, angry that his story isn’t being told because the actor playing him is an imbecile, decides to team up with Paper Doll, aka Piper Dali, an obsessed stalker of Bobby Carr’s who can become two dimensional, which she can use to hide from view. She can also absorb people’s fluids, turning them into 2D corpses. She’s obsessed with Bobby Carr and thinks that she’s helped by him to get back on his feet as an actor by threatening his life with Mysterio. Mysterio after a conversation with the angry and drunk Bobby Carr, will be convinced by him that MJ is the real problem. He can’t work with her! Mysterio contacts Elyse Nelson, aka the new Chameleon, a woman with an obsessive hatred for MJ, to kill and replace MJ. Mysterio tells Elyse she really should go into show business. It will be revealed that MJ’s friend who has been helping her survive having to work with Bobby Carr, the actress playing Mysterio’s lawyer Janice Lincoln, was actually just Chameleon in disguise the whole time. Bobby will demand Mysterio doesn’t have MJ killed, he doesn’t want a body on his hands, he just wants to work with a different actress. Chameleon will kidnap MJ and tie her up in the basement of the courtroom set. Elyse is now playing MJ and Bobby, threatened by Mysterio, will finally get out of his trailer and act in the courtroom scene where Mysterio gives a heartfelt monologue. Mysterio will watch from the rafters, questioning what this director is doing to himself “Tell him to act! This is the big scene you fool! Tell him he needs more emotion! I… I could act better than this!”

 

Mysterio has a realization and decided to while everyone is taking five to get a different angle, knock out Bobby Carr and toss him in the basement with MJ, then replace him and do the courtroom scene himself. Since Bobby was in the Mysterio costume for the scene, no one notices.  MJ will realize the unconscious Bobby is bleeding and needs medical attention. Paper Doll will realize it’s not Bobby Carr on set anymore, and find Bobby in the basement. She carefully treats his head wound from being knocked out and promises to get Mysterio for what he did to her Bobby. MJ will convince Paper Doll to let her loose, telling Paper Doll about how she used to be a superhero, and she can stop Mysterio. All Paper Doll needs to do is continue to bandage up Bobby and try to stop the bleeding.

 

Meanwhile, Mysterio is angered that the director keeps telling him to give more emotion. He’s literally doing it exactly how how it was in real life! Oh? He’s not saying it like it is in the script? His lines are far better than the trash in the script! Mysterio gives up. This production was doomed from the beginning anyway. It’s filled with amateurs. He tosses a smoke bomb and suddenly the room is filled zombies. Mysterio is then hit over the head with the prop gavel from the courtroom scene and knocks Mysterio out. Elyse decides now she can finally kill MJ, and we get two different MJ’s fighting. The set catches on fire as all the zombies, actually just cheap knockoff Live model decoys, begin to spark, and Paper Doll decides to grab Bobby and take him back to her home, where they’ll finally be together. MJ beats Elyse and drags both her and Mysterio out of the set. Paper Doll has disappeared, and MJ sends a message to all heroes in the area through Parker Industries to look out for her. In prison, Quentin Beck will suddenly find his prison cell filled with hand ninjas. They tell him not to forget why they resurrected him. A horrified Mysterio begs for more time, there’s so much he hasn’t had a chance to do yet! They tell him, the time of blood and sacrifice comes soon! The time of Black Sky comes soon, and they will be waiting for him!

 

The Maximum Carnage villains  go to Times Square to begin their reign of terror. The heroes arrive. We get some cool fights, Miles battles Carnage, who is possessing his Uncle. Demogoblin tells Venom there is no repentance for him and he will always be guiltttyyyyyy!!!

 

Demogoblin is pushed out by Robbie’s usual possessor, Antidote uses Anti-Venom to cure Carrion, the tide of the battle turns, and Shriek is tricked into hitting Carnage with her sonic powers, freeing Aaron Davis.

 

Aaron is arrested for the grand theft of various priceless items, but still thankful to be saved from Carnage.

 

The Carnage symbiote is captured and given to SHIELD…. before being stolen in secret by The Masters of Crime.

 

Meanwhile, Ranjeeta Ratha, the former wife of now deceased Proto-Goblin announces her decision to run for mayor, and that if she’s elected, she will put an end to superheroes in New York!

 

Kate Bishop wakes up on a dark and stormy night to find Ana Kravinoff has broken in to tell Kate she’ll be watching her.

 

Meanwhile, MJ talks to Peter. She always used to be afraid when he would go out being a superhero on his own, she’s be afraid he would get hurt, or someone would learn his identity and hurt both of them the way Venom did. It got better when they were both heroes. She felt safe and she understood the way he felt. The wind in your face, but it was still really dangerous. She thought when she retired it would be done, but there are still two very different parts of her realizing that all the superhero stuff still affects them and their family. One part is scared and wants to do whatever it can to stop it from happening, the other half wants to get back into the Iron Spider. Can Spider-Man retire? Or is this always going to be something they have to do?

 

While all this is going on, there will be a back up story happening at the end of each issue, featuring Hobie Brown! Hobie Brown, working for Parker-Watson Industries, has been sent to Houston, Texas, still rebuilding after the big JuggerRhino vs Captain Universe fight, to lead the new branch of Parker Watson opening there to help rebuild the destroyed buildings as its chairman. Also, as the Prowler will be investigating Richard Fitzgerald, aka Ben Reilly’s dark half personified, aka The Jackal’s old company, the ruins of its main building being purchased by Parker Industries to be used for good. While Jackal’s true identity is not known by the government, Richard Fitzgerald is still a fugitive, and is believed to be in hiding. In Jackal’s old lab, Hobie Brown will accidentally unleash Joseph Wade aka the cybernetic Scarlet Spider. Now called: WEBCRAWLER, Joseph Wade is a more powerful cybernetic energy being, whose body, and any hope of rehabilitation, has been destroyed by Jackal. He is angry that Ben Reilly forgot about him after he was first apprehended, and just assumed that the FBI would be able to cure him. He goes to get revenge on Ben Reilly, leading to a team up between Hobie and Ben to defeat WebCrawler. When he’s defeated, Hobie uses Parker Industries to pay for his medical bill while in prison and try to find a way to get him his body back. Ben Reilly will keep tabs on WebCrawler, he should have been there to stop it when corrupt agents working for the Black Tarantula Cartel snuck WebCrawler out of FBI custody.

 

Meanwhile, The Jackal has decided that Hobie Brown is promising, he passed several of the tests Jackal had created with WebCrawler, but Hobie isn’t good enough. Each of the villains he made more powerful, Electro, the Enforcers, Rhino(its revealed he was the one who told Rhino the location of the gem of cyttorak.), The Queen….have been used to test certain heroes strength, skill, and resolve.

 

No one is good enough so far, but he has candidates. He needs to keep looking for someone in Peter Parker’s life that he can use for his goals.

 

SPECTACULAR SIX ARC 3: Don’t fear the Reaper

 

Donald Menken, a hold over at Alchemax from Oscorp and former personal assistant of Norman Osborn, has managed to push Moltan Man out of Alchemax with the help of other shareholders on the board of directors. Harry Osborn has returned though, and as a majority shareholder is the only thing keeping Menken from convincing the others Liz Allen is dead and he should be put in charge of the company in her place. Harry convinced them Liz didn’t die when she was sucked into the time vortex and wants him in charge in her place. Donald demands proof, but Harry convinced them to give him the time necessary to get the proof Liz is alive.

 

Meanwhile,

 

Harry Osborn

Ana Kravinoff

Clash

Doctor Octopus

Sandman

 

battle a gang of bank robbers who have somehow gotten ahold of multiple sets of Shocker gauntlets. They succeed in this, and learn the criminals got them from Tinkerer, who is selling Spider-Man villain based tech for reduced prices due to Slingers Day and the Slingers parade.

 

The Slingers head to Tinkerer’s lab, where Blackie Drago, the man who once stole vultures wings, has prepared a new identity for himself:

 

THE SINISTER ONE!!!!

 

Blackie Drago has

 

Vultures wings

Doc Ock arms

That Kraven the hunter lion head vest that shoots lasers out of the nipple eyes

 

 

Shocker gauntlets

A green goblin bag of tricks

Rhino armor

 

The Slingers battle Blackie Drago, eventually defeating him and Tinkerer, and sending them both to prison.

 

They return to their home base, where Venom and Antidote(alternate universe Anne Weying with anti-venom) wait!!!

 

Meanwhile, Donald Menken watches American Psycho and thinks about how this movie always makes him so sad…

 

Venom has come to rejoin the Spectacular Six after his time with Antidote. Antidote meanwhile, has been working to get herself set up in this reality as Anne Weying and get her license to practice law back.

 

Harry meanwhile, visits the Osborn Family home, the mansion previously owned by Norman Osborn himself, the one which Harry and Liz used to live in but moved out of after Normie was temporarily turned into a supervillain after discovering Goblin Serum in the floorboards, and the house that caused Liz Allen to have a mental breakdown from thinking Norman Osborn’s Ghost was haunting it.

 

The house, having been abandoned for a few years, is now creepy and dilapidated. Harry is visiting to search the storage areas for anything that could hint at where his mother is. He will discover flight plans to Morocco and letters to her secret lover she planned to run away from Norman with. We’ll also learn Norman just told everyone his wife was dead so he wouldn’t have to tell everyone she had left him. At the same time, he’s stalked by a mysterious entity, which will be revealed as Norman Osborn! Norman will attempt to convince Harry that he’s become more powerful as a spirit then he ever was in life and that everything bad that happens to Harry is directly his fault. Harry will battle ghost Norman, who is revealed to not be Norman at all…. BUT A LIVE MODEL DECOY!

 

The true culprit is Mendel Stromm, sent here by Gabriel to find information on Emily Lyman’s whereabouts.

 

Harry beats up the robot master pretty easily and robot master swears vengeance after learning Jarry doesn’t remember him. Mendel Stromm doesn’t know how this can be, as he gave him free evergreen mints when he would visit his lab with his father as a boy! Harry leaves to track his mom down.

 

Meanwhile, Venom will have a psychological evaluation to determine if he’s good to be on the Spectacular Six. It will be determined by Doc Samson who relays the info to Doctor Octopus that Eddie Brock wants to be a hero. He want to help people, but is honest or the hero complex he seems to have? He also has numerous psychological issues tracing back to his father, a relationship to his symbiote similar to that of an dysfunctional and codependent marriage, a intense fear of being alone, and an on and off desire to eat brains. For the brain thing, Doc Ock decides to put Venom on a chocolate shake diet, as chocolate contains the same chemical the symbiote needs from brains. Doc Samson thinks Eddie Brock should be kept off the team, but Doc Ock disagrees and puts him on.

 

Donald Menken meanwhile is very stressed over the situation with Harry Osborn, and is letting off steam by doing drugs in his corner office and  remembering happier times… like that time he shot that elephant. He decides to call Harry Osborn and have dinner with him, maybe trick him into revealing the truth. Harry picks the location as the Coffee Bean, which disgusts Donald Menken. Everything is so cheap here, it can’t be sanitary? We learn Harry has a plane to catch later that night and can’t stay long. Donald Menken tries and fails  to create a connection with Harry about how much he hates his own wife, and would completely understand if he killed Liz Allen and made up the whole time travel thing! Liz seems like the type to nag and nag. Who would question it? Anyway, his secret is safe with him. Harry tells Menken he actually loves his wife and this is disturbing, before leaving to get his plane. Donald Menken stays to yell at a barista for spelling his name wrong on the coffee cup. Who’s name is Domald? Do I look like a hippy?

 

Harry leaves, visits a burnt down villa in Morocco, and learns from the groundskeeper it’s previous owner was a woman who had had a forbidden romance with a wealthy, but married man. She took his name, and lived in a villa which he had bought for her. Once a month he had visited her, until the enraged former husband of the woman killed him and burnt the villa to the ground. The woman escaped to the sea… and was never seen again. Harry is about to leave, until he spots a woman watching from the other side of the fence, who when he goes to talk to, reveals herself as his mother! They reunite, she reveals that she wanted to come back to him but it was always too dangerous. At this point Mendel Stromm arrives with the rainbow goblin coalition, plus the black and white goblins.

 

Meanwhile, Doc Ock takes the team out on a mission with their new recruit venom. Sandman doesn’t like Eddie, as Venom once killed Sandman. There’s some infighting, and Clash is genuinely scared of Venom, Ana makes it clear she has ways to incapacitate Venom if he goes rogue.

 

So, their mission? Jack O Lantern, despite dying in space a while ago, is somehow alive again(we know he made a deal with Mephisto to come back, they don't) killed a SHIELD agent in the Appalachian Mountains a week ago. That SHIELD agent had infiltrated an in hiding sect of The Masters Of Crime In order to steal one half of something called the Babel key. He failed when Jack O Lantern outed him as a double agent and killed him, before killing the rest of the Masters of Crime at that base. He stole the half of the Babel key, and is recorded explaining his motives to one of his victims as planning to bring the key half to his adoptive father Crime Master and break him out of prison, then, they go find the second half of the key together. Crime Master knows it’s location.

 

Doc Ock will decide to do some research into what Babel is, attempting to hack into a SHIELD file, and be visited by Teresa Parker, Peter Parker’s super spy secret sister(I didn’t make up this character. Look her up). She tells him not to hack SHIELD and explains that Babel is a weapon created by the Russian Red Skull Albert Malik. The Red Skull that killed her parents… Babel is a weapon of mass destruction that if the key for it is ever found and placed into the Babel device, would shut off the portion of the human mind that understands speech world wide. If used, SHIELD suspects it would eventually kill about two billion people in a butterfly effect.

 

Teresa reveals she’s here to give them the location of where Bennett Brant is in prison. Due to his high profile, he isn’t kept at the raft but a separate off the books SHIELD prison,

 

The prison is located in the Negative Zone and is the last remnants of Prison 42, being kept as a prison by SHIELD without the knowledge of the worlds superheroes. It contains the most dangerous minds on Earth. The complete list of prisoners is:

 

The Leader

The Hood

Crime Master

Madame Masque

And a body double of Baron Strucker Bennett Brant shares a cell with. Bennett Brant has tried to tell the guards that this Baron Strucker is fake, but the guards refuse to believe him.

 

The Superior Six will, having been given info on the location of the negative zone portal SHIELD secretly has, go there and battle Jack O Lantern when he arrives to break out Crime Master.

 

Jack O Lantern now has powers relating to hellfire and calling upon a murder of crows. His scythe obeys his commands when he throws it. The conflict between Eddie and Sandman ends when Eddie is set on fire and sand-man uses his body to put him out and choke the flames. Doc Ock has to keep a close eye on Venom once they enter the Negative Zone, but Eddie proves himself by helping to takedown Jack O Lantern without killing him. Eddie, once learning about The Leader, The Hood, and Madame Masque, has a moment where he thinks the world would be better without them existing, but doesn’t murder them and instead just leaves them in their cells. Jack O Lantern ends up locked up in the Raft, far away from his father, and Teresa Parker takes the half of the Babel Key from him. Doc Ock tells SHIELD that that’s not the real Baron Strucker. Doc Ock also decides the reason Teresa got them involved was probably because she doesn’t approve of Prison 42 still being used, due to the effects being in the Negative Zone long term can have on people(they sometimes go crazy). Information about this is revealed to the Fantastic Four, and within a week all the prisoners are at SHIELD prisons on earth.

 

Doc Ock hopes neither them or the Slingers ever have to deal with Babel again, meanwhile Peter Parker’s sister Teresa Parker locks the Babel Key away. Doc Samson discusses with Octavius that eventually, no matter how much Venom wants to be a hero, he’s just repressing his rage and he’s going to go bad. We reveal Doc Ock has secret sonic weapons prepared for if this does happen, as well as a machine that will shut down his own arms if he ever turns evil.

 

Eddie works out in the Parker Industries gym and drinks the chocolate shake prepared for him.

 

Donald Menken meanwhile is walking through the streets of New York thinking about how much the homeless disgust him. They’re an eyesore and always smell like alcohol. He gets a call from The Goblin King who he explains to that now that Harry is back things have become more complicated. If he could have him killed… that would be great. Goblin King agrees, but tells Menken not to forget who’s in charge, and who has pictures of him cheating on the missus…. Gabriel laughs maniacally and ends the call.

 

Harry must battle the rainbow Goblin’s  while attempting to escape with his mother. He sends out a distress signal. He’s stronger than the other goblins, but there are too many of them. The fight leads into the skies above Morocco. Then…. Venom arrives! With him, Ana, Doc Ock, Sandman, and Clash. A full and united team of Spectacular Six together, the goblins are defeated, and a watching Mendel Stromm on a nearby building swears vengeance again. They will know his name! He attacks, and Sandman thinks he’s Alistair Smythe. Mendel Stromm claims Smythe is just a pale imitation of him, he is the one true master of robotic- and Venom grabs him then swings him around until he’s unconscious.

 

Harry reunited with his mother, and promised to take her back to New York to meet her grandchildren. Normie, and his wheelchair bound younger brother Stanley. Emily doesn’t think it’s safe, but Harry convinced her the Spectacular Six will protect her.

 

Donald Menken sits in bed with his sleeping mistress. He’s thinking… maybe he should have her killed. It would solve the problem and then Gabriel would have nothing on him… nah. Gabriel probably has hidden cameras all around this apartment…. that would just make things worse. Oh… how he hates women.

 

Harry, on the quinjet back to New York, remembers at about midnight he has a meeting at 10 the next morning where he has to prove Liz is still alive.

 

Donald Menken waits at the board of directors for Harry Osborn to arrive, and when the disheveled Osborn arrives, Menken demands to know where Liz Allen is. Time is up. Harry tells them he can’t bring them Liz Allen, but he’s willing to testify under oath she’s alive, along with the entire superhero team the Slingers. Donald Menken tells him it’s not good enough. Menken questions the board whether or not Liz Allen should be given some more time to magically appear and prove them all wrong? No? Then how about a new vote? A vote to oust Harry Osborn from the company and place Donald Menken as the new CEO!

 

Liz Allen steps out of a time portal in a regal dress, glowing with golden energy, and on fire. She sits down and votes nay to firing Harry.

 

Donald stares in shock.

 

Harry thinks to himself about how much he loves his family.

 

In a subplot, Anne Weying will manage to integrate herself into society by claiming she was abducted by skrulls and wasn’t really dead. Now she’s an attorney, and her first case is against recently captured Roderick Kingsley, being sued by the state of New York for all the property damage he has caused over the years. If it can all be pinned on him, he will not only be penniless, but in prison for 18 lifetime's worth of exploding pumpkin bombs in residential areas. However, he pleads not guilty, and deciding to be his own lawyer, claims it was done by Ned Leeds, Flash Thompson, and Jason Macendale, all working together under his brother Daniel Kingsley to incriminate him. She manages to disprove this with previously believed to be dead Ned Leeds as a witness. Kingsley realizes the only way to avoid prison is to make them think he’s insane and deserves psychiatric treatment, and claims Ned and Anne are both skrulls, in fact, everyone is skrulls our to get him! Eventually, it’s decided his assets will be seized, he’ll be sent to an asylum, and… this is added by Anne Weying  to salvage not being able to get Kingsley to go to prison, he now is no longer allowed in the state of New York. If he violates this, he gets sent to the Raft. We learn that Kingsley will be getting specialized care from an expert criminal psychologist living in South America… Delvadia specifically.

 

At this point, we will release a miniseries

 

GABRIEL STACY: A KING IN NEW YORK

 

So, what I want to do with this is get more into who Gabriel is as a person. In a lot of his stories he’s a character who is seeking vengeance against Spider-man or his sister. I’ve made him pretty interesting but I want to show some of the facets of his personality and who he really is as a person since he’s going to be coming in later as a major villain for the next story arcs. My goal with this is to make Gabriel more complex, but still keep him as a monster. Just because we see another side of him doesn’t mean he isn’t the one who murdered Silk and tormented the Parker Family for years.

 

Still, it’s also my attempt to make a story where an all out villain is the protagonist.

 

Ana Kravinoff contemplates if there’s any good left in Gabriel Stacy. If he could be like her, someone who was just raised the wrong way. Someone who could become better. Someone who isn’t absolutely evil. Even the worst villain has to have at least one good thing to them. One bit of humanity. We move to Paris in the past to see a young Gabriel Stacy protect his sister Sarah from bullies picking on her.

 

Now, Gabriel Stacy has had Jackal prepare a new batch of weapons for him to use as the Goblin King. Jackal shows off electricity firing gloves, heat seeking razor sharp bats, ghost bombs filled with gas, a new glider that can read its user’s thoughts and act accordingly while also firing bombs out of it, pumpkin bombs with a larger blast radius, bullet proof chain mail and fabric, gloves with synthetic vibranium claws, which are not as strong as the real vibranium but easier to get a hold of,  and something from the Phil Urich Hobgoblin: a flaming sword. Also, a new Goblin serum to increase the speed of regeneration and strength.

 

Jackal comments that it might be his finest work.

 

Gabriel remembers his childhood, asking his father if he could wear the green goblin suit that was in their lair. Norman told him that someday, when he was older, he would be able to. The goblin is the family business. Someday all of his children will have a goblin suit to wear. Gabriel stares longingly at the costume.

 

In the past, Gabriel Stacy is at his father's funeral, in the cave. A compound built by the Scriar Cult. He’s in the ripped apart remains of the American Son suit he had been using. He briefly was arrested in England, but he managed to escape. SHIELD is invading the compound at this point. Sarah has told everyone all the information they need to capture him. And his father, consumed by the demonic energies he attempted to use to defeat Spider-Man once and for all. It’s Spider-man’s fault. He drove Norman to this, and for that he must die. SHIELD enters and grabs Gabriel. Gabriel ends up in prison for years, alone, thinking of nothing but how he will get revenge on the spiders, on his sister, on Peter Parker. She betrayed him, she betrayed the family. He has no family, not anymore. Delusional in solitary confinement, hallucinations of Norman Osborn call him weak, call him a failure, tell him he must avenge him! Avenge me!!! Then, the cell opens, Alchemax agents grab and knock out Gabriel. He wakes up in another prison, with his sister, with all the other goblin based villains. Liz Allen went crazy and wants to kill them all. He tries to kill his sister, but he fails, and he dies in the vacuum of space. He dies a failure… and Mephisto brings him back to life. He has true power, an army to lead, and he finds Karlicuper. He finds a new family in her, and together… they kill Silk. That is his happiest moment in his entire life. It all went downhill from there. She left him, he lost his power, she never loved him! At least he thinks she never loved him… maybe… no, not the time to think about it. He has larger concerns. He spent months despondent, living on the streets, the hallucinatory spectre of his father looming over him. He misses Karlicuper. The Slingers become the true heroes of New York. He watches as NYC dedicates a holiday to the Slingers, he watches them given the key to the city. Peter Parker gets his perfect life and perfect family, but what does Gabriel get? Nothing but pain. His sister is in love with one of the spiders. She has betrayed her family for the enemies family. He will have vengeance.

 

Jackal will use his power as the leader of a faction of the Black Tarantula Cartel to get Gabriel arrested and placed in a SHIELD prison. His weapons are placed in a storage area at the prison. Gabriel escapes from his cell as Jackal temporarily shuts down the power in Gabriel’s wing of the prison, just long enough for a riot to begin.

 

Gabriel will get to his gear, killing guards along the way, then release the cryogenically frozen Rainbow Goblin Coalition, a group created by Miles Warren. They all escape.

 

Gabriel and Sarah are trained by Norman Osborn and the Scriar Cult in armed and unarmed combat, making Gabriel one of the deadliest killers on earth.

In the past, Gabriel breaks into the homes of those who bullied his sister and assassinates them in their sleep.

 

Jackal meanwhile, has a conference with Lady Octopus, who really loves the work Jackal is doing in his mad science labs and would very much like to work with him again. The two use raw dark force energy and a psychic interface to create Black And White Goblins like the ones made by Mr. Negative last article. Lady Octopus tells Jackal his stormtroopers are ready, he comments they’re more like clone troopers, then tells her not to worry. He hates the prequels too, it’s just a more apt description. Gabriel arrives with the rainbow goblins and Lady Octopus teleports away in a machine.

 

Gabriel asks Jackal what the next mission is. The hallucinations of Norman asks Gabriel what he’s doing? Gabriel tells his father that the Jackal is untrustworthy, but useful. Their relationship is mutually beneficial. Jackal watches Gabriel space out talking to himself and takes mental notes.

 

Wilson Fisk is dressed in his white suit, but with a new addition: The Crime Master Mask. He thinks about the history of the Masters of Crime. The shadowy organization that works as the overlords of all crime in North America. They have been around since the beginning. We witness a young Wilson Fisk, bodyguard to Don Rigoletto, taking his boss to meet with the era’s Crime Master. We see Frederick Foswell chosen as a Crime Master then recruiting his original Enforcers. Now, Wilson Fisk is the face of the Masters of Crime. He is mayor of his city. The Masters of Crime have allowed him to take the position temporarily, only long enough to kill the Marina Caches and Jackal. What they do not realize… is that he’s working with the Jackal!

 

Kingpin explains to his assistant The Jackal is planning to betray him obviously, so that’s why he is where he is now: Buenos Aires. He’s on a casino boat, meeting Marina Caches. Kingpin is going to put Jackal the Jackal. Jackal wants to play both sides, Fisk will play three sides against each other! What he doesn’t know, is Jackal already knows about this.

 

Jackel tells Gabriel on his yacht not to kill Ben Reilly. He’s…. already called dibs on killing him. Gabriel thinks Jackal isn’t telling him something.

 

In Morocco, years ago, child Sarah and Gabriel are at a villa. Norman tells them over the communicator to make it look like an accident.

 

Then, the villa is on fire and Sarah is chasing Emily Lyman. Sarah hesitates as they’re on the edge of the cliff, and asks Emily: Who are you?

 

Gabriel flies through the air and roundhouse kicks Emily off the cliff, into the water below. He contacts Norman, and tells him that Sarah has assassinated the target.

 

Gabriel, now,  thinks about how Sarah never had the stomach to do what was necessary. She must die for what she’s done.

 

Meanwhile, Marina and Ben Reilly speak, they’ve been doing a lot of good. Their cartel is now called the Red Tarantula, while their enemies working with Jackal are the Black Tarantula cartel. They’ve been ruining Black Tarantula Cartel operations. With their cartel, they have stopped all drug sales to children, they give money they make back to the community, and they will leave their rivals for the police instead of killing them. If there’s criminals the police can’t handle, Ben Reilly captures them. Still, Ben wonders if he and Marina made the right choice trying to fix things from the inside. He’s a hero, a white hat, and the place he’s in now just feels too far into the shades of grey for him. He’s been training Fabian to use his supernatural powers. They’ve had to move to South America and out of the states, and Fabian is having a hard time with this.

 

Ben Reilly tells Marina he doesn’t like Fisk and Fisk is going to betray them. Marina doesn’t like him either and knows he’s going to, but sometimes when you’re running an international crime syndicate we have to talk to people we don’t like.

 

Fisk arrives, the meeting begins, he’s very respectful and polite, which unnerves Ben. This is a view of the Kingpin he doesn’t usually get. He doesn’t like being in a position where Wilson Fisk is asking them for favors. Fisk basically explains that he can help them to destroy Jackal once and for all and reclaim control over the Black Tarantula Cartel. Marina asks what the catch is. Fisk wants to be able to sell his drugs in South America. Marina refuses, Fisk claims he’ll bring the same offer to the Jackal regarding defeating them. Gabriel Stacy in the Grey Goblin suit arrives and tells him that no, he won’t. Jackal doesn’t take kindly to traitors! Kingpin seems genuinely scared, but then he gets angry, A fight begins between Kingpin, Gabriel, and Ben Reilly as Marina dodges for cover.

 

Fisk gets some good punches in on Gabriel as the fight spills out into the casino area of the boat, and Ben tries to evacuate and save lives. Gabriel battles Ben, and gives him some injuries, which Jackal gets as well in his lab. Jackal tells Gabriel over an earpiece to kill the Kingpin. Gabriel tosses his sword and skewers Kingpin, who escapes and survives anyway.  In a last dodge attempt Gabriel heads into the boiler room to blow up the ship before Kingpin and Ben Reilly can get out, by the time the explosion happens Red Tarantula members arrive on rescue boats.

 

Jackal meets up with Gabriel after his catastrophic failure, and Gabriel realizes the truth about Ben and Jackal having the same wounds, the truth comes out but Jackal convinces Gabriel he still has resources he needs, and he can’t kill him yet. Hallucination Norman Osborn tells Gabriel he’s failing. He’s tarnishing the legacy of the Goblin! Gabriel begs for forgiveness.

 

Gabriel remembers his teenage years. He’s in one of Norman’s older model green goblin suits. Gabriel is nervous, Sarah tells him it’s fine. It’s just a costume party. They’re at a Halloween party, Gabriel’s nerves are put at ease as everyone compliments his costume. A few girls lead him to the costume contest sign up list and tell him he has to sign up. He does, later that night, the contest, he wins… second place. And in first place, a drunken frat boy in a HOBGOBLIN COSTUME.

 

A girl asks Gabriel if he wants to head back to her dorm, he pushes her aside and begins stalking the Hobgoblin. He tracks him down to an alley outside the party, the guy tells him that his costume is cool, but it’s old, too faded, the paint is coming off, look… it looks grey in some parts.

 

Gabriel kills him, telling him that the mask he wears does not belong to him! It is his by right, by family lineage!!! At home, Gabriel spray paints the costume Grey.

 

Kingpin returns to New York and explains out loud to his assistants after he learns that several of his criminal operations have been shut down by both Red and Black Tarantulas. He tosses a desk out his window. The Jackal will pay for what he has done to him. He will have his organization dismantled, systematically, methodically. The Masters of Crime attack, destroying Black Tarantula bases with elite precision. Gabriel Stacy is the personal bodyguard of the Jackal. They have to deal with him. He sends men to find out everything they can about Gabriel Stacy and his life. His weaknesses.

 

In the lab Jackal tells Gabriel that he’s discovered that the previous versions of the Goblin formula can cause hallucinations. This new serum won’t, which should increase his focus in battle. Gabriel is furious and refuses to take it, telling Jackal not to mess with his fathers formula. He takes the old serum and goes to lift weights.

 

Gabriel makes big plans. The return of Goblin Nation! Mass Murder! World Domination! Anarchy… that he rules! Karlicuper at his side! His enemies dead!

 

Gabriel gets a phone call from the Scriar Cult. Norman Osborn’s body was just stolen. Not the fake one at his grave. The one cryogenically frozen at the Scriar Cult’s headquarters. It was Wilson Fisk.

 

Gabriel is enraged, he destroys the personal gym he’s in.

 

Meanwhile, we reveal the location of Jackal’s secret laboratory/ Gabriel’s living area that the gym was in: a high tech jumbo jet. After some time overseas, we’ve arrived at where our story is destined to go: New York City….

 

Gabriel decides, Kingpin stole someone he loved, he’s going to take what he loves. Gabriel heads to the cemetery, murders a guard, and begins to dig up Vanessa Fisk. He spots the grave of Cindy Moon and thinks to himself that that could be useful later. He’s really going to have to come back. This place is like a candy store for grave desecration.

 

In flashback, we learn Norman Osborn originally hid the truth about Sarah and Gabriel’s parentage, and their mother’s death. He managed to convince Sarah for a while he wasn’t the actual parent, just a parent figure, and Peter Parker was the murderer of Gwen Stacy, as well as the true parent. As well, there’s undercurrents that maybe the conception of the two was all done with cloning and manipulation and while they have DNA of Norman and Gwen, that infamous series of panels involving the sex scene didn’t happen like it was shown and was actually clone related, but on the other hand, who knows other than deceased Miles Warren and Norman Osborn. While Sarah believed that Peter killed Gwen, Gabriel saw through the ruse, but went along with it as it made Norman Osborn happy and everything Norman does has a purpose.

 

Gabriel Stacy, in full costume, takes a walk through the streets of New York at night towards the mayor's office. Everyone runs and screams at the sight of him… except a teen boy on his phone with his headphones in. Gabriel walks up to him, taps his shoulder, the boy takes out his headphones, looks up, and Gabriel yells “ boo! “ as the boy runs screaming.

 

Wilson Fisk is in his office, and speaks to Jackal in a video call. We reveal the truth of what has been happening. Wilson Fisk and Jackal are united. Together, they will accomplish their goals, but right now, to do that, they need Gabriel Stacy dead. He has no place in the world they’re creating, and is far too great a threat. He’s on par with his father, if not more powerful. Jackal built the sword Gabriel uses, the sword, which through the inner mechanisms designed in it, can be programmed to miss all internal organs and arteries, creating a clean wound that hurts, but never kills. These failsafes are built into the entire suit, and Fisk, who has been dealing with controversies regarding him being corrupt in office, needs to show the city how heroic he is, by killing Gabriel and saving the city when he storms City Hall. What the public won’t know, is the fail safes in the suit will make Gabriel less flexible as a fighter, and weigh his body down. He won’t be easy to beat, but it will give Fisk the winning edge.

 

Jackal ends the call and speaks to Lady Octopus, who its revealed he’s watching Attack of The Clones with, about how he wishes Gabriel would have taken the Goblin Serum designed to poison him by the time he makes it through the army of guards to Fisk’s office. However, this still works.

 

Gabriel arrives at City Hall and Wilson Fisk’s private army prepares to beat him down, but before this can happen, Gabriel yells to all of them he stole Vanessa Fisk’s body and if they don’t want Kingpin to kill them for taking his chance for revenge, the should let him through. Gabriel runs up the stairs to the mayor's office as his Goblin Glider swoops down from the sky and kills all the guards. Fisk watches on video cameras and realizes the Jackal has betrayed him! Vanessa’s body was not part of the plan!!!

 

Jackal tells Lady Octopus that he did not expect Gabriel to get Vanessa’s body. They decide to end Attack of The Clones early, as the movie is pretty bad, and switch to watching the big fight between Gabriel and Fisk. The plan still works though, Gabriel’s synthetic vibranium claws, which are synthetic because it allowed Jackal to modify them, have been designed to once they absorb a certain amount of potential energy, explode in a kinetic blast and kill both him and Kingpin.

 

Kingpin, with a moment alone, comments he never should have tried to work with “costumes”.

 

Gabriel arrives and tells Fisk that he is no mere costumed supervillain. He is the dark side humanity doesn’t want to admit they have. He is face behind the mask! He is the thunder the primitive man fears and runs to his cave to hide from! Jackal riffs this from his base. “He has the delusions of grandeur!”

 

Gabriel thanks Wilson for making him angry, a target gives him clarity. There’s no master plans or swearing vengeance, just killing. Wilson and Gabriel begin the battle, and as it continues, until… Kingpin grabs both of Grey Goblin’s gloves, swings him around, and the gloves come off as Gabriel flies into a wall!!!

 

Jackal watches through a hidden camera with Lady Octopus and says not to worry, he has a plan b. After a long, brutal, and awesome fight sequence that ends up blowing out all the windows in the mayor's office,

 

Gabriel Stacy, laughing maniacally, holds up Kingpin over his head, then tosses him out the window and off the building!!!

 

“Mayor Fisk… you’ve been impeached!”

 

Matt Murdock runs through the streets towards the mayor's office. As he hears the heartbeat of Wilson Fisk stop, he too stops in the middle of the street, shocked that the kingpin is actually dead.

 

With Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin dead, Gabriel laughs maniacally, Then… Sarah Stacy/ Ghost Spider leaps into the office. Gabriel stares in shock.

 

She tells him she doesn’t want to fight him. He calls her a liar and strikes! She fights back and tosses Gabriel around. She’s tells him she’s here to talk. She just wants to talk. Gabriel stops, remembering them playing in the streets of Paris, them them working together as a team for their father, her comforting him when he was nervous to go to that party, he asks her: What is it? She tells him, they were family once, they shouldn’t fight. She misses him. Whatever he’s going through, she was raised in the same house, she had the same father and mother. She knows. She understands. Gabriel thinks that she wants to join him. She tells him that she can’t and she wouldn’t, she wants to get him help. He’s not evil. They have psychiatrists at Ravencroft. Gabriel laughs. That’s what she never understood. He doesn’t want to be helped, he doesn’t want to be saved by her, he doesn’t need a sister. He’s Gabriel Osborn, son of Norman Osborn, heir of the goblin. He is a weapon, and so is she, except in her case a weapon that has become defunct! He attacks!

 

Sarah asks, what about their mother? Gabriel responds that he has no mother, only a forge used to create the sword of Norman Osborn!

 

Gabriel battles Sarah, beating her mercilessly, he yells at her for what she did to him! She betrayed him! She betrayed everything they believed him! She betrayed her family! Sarah tells him he doesn’t have to do this. He still has a choice. He tells her: no they don’t. They never had a choice. This is his destiny and dying is hers.

Gabriel stabs Sarah with his sword, then flies out of the window on his glider!!!

 

Gabriel returns to Jackal’s base just as Lady Octopus is leaving, and learns that Sarah lived. He missed all of her internal organs.

 

Behind Gabriel, the hallucination of Norman starts.

 

“You knew… maybe subconsciously, but you knew.”

 

Jackal walks through Norman, he’s saying the same stuff. “When you stabbed her, you missed all major arteries and internal organs.”

 

Gabriel asks what that means.

 

Jackal tells him: she’s his weak spot.

 

Later…

 

Jackal looks over the now captured Carnage symbiote in a large vibranium infused glass cylinder.  
“Well hey there little guy.”

 

The symbiote attempts to attack, but finds itself unable to in the case. Jackal comments that he has all of Ben Reilly’s memories in him. We don’t agree on much, but we both hate symbiotes…

 

Gabriel Stacy comments he’s never had a problem with them. Jackal releases the symbiote and it begins to bond with Gabriel. At first, Gabriel struggles, he’s in pain. Jackal grabs a sonic gun just in case. Gabriel yells at him to wait! “You’re mine now… no! No! I control you! Yes…. you see now? Oh yes, don’t worry… you’ll get… your… Carnage! You’ll…. SPIDER-MAN!”

 

Gabriel grabs Jackal! Jackal yells at Gabriel not to let it control him! Gabriel tells Jackal he misunderstands, the symbiote and him… they’re agreeing. “Killing you would kill Rielly. Why should I let you live?”

 

“You still… need… me! I have resources! I have plans! Power!”

 

“And what is stopping me from just taking those things from you Jackal…. Parker?”

 

“I’m not Parker you-“

 

Gabriel stabs Jackal through the chest, then devours him. Gabriel, currently resembling the terrifying Carnage, begins to morph into a more goblin looking blood red monster, this one with wings. He laughs maniacally.

 

Then…

 

Jackal appears on a massive screen. He failed. Jackal informs Gabriel that this was a test. What he just ate was a clone. Jackal explains that Gabriel and his dealings are over. He will not do business with a maniac. Or… two maniacs? He’s not quite clear on how it would work now. Still though, feel free to kill the Slingers. Like he said, he has plans, and that couldn't not help speed things along.

 

Gabriel takes a look at Jackal’s contacts and all the favors Crime lords around the world owe him. He decides, he’s going to contact all of them, and make each and every one an offer they can’t refuse!

 

Gabriel hides the symbiote within himself. He won’t be needing it until later. He goes to break into the Masters of Crime base.

 

Gabriel Stacy tells the remaining Masters of Crime. Their empire is crumbling. They have all but lost the control they once had. If they don’t evolve, they will die.

 

The Kingpin is dead… long live The Kingpin.

 

Gabriel Stacy welcomes them into The Goblin Nation.

 

Gabriel arrives at an abandoned roller derby center, leading the Rainbow Goblin Coalition, a Scriar at his side, as well as the Masters of Crime, who have all put on goblin masks after becoming the New Goblin Nation. As well, he has various members of the Black Tarantula Cartel with him, Delvadian Soldiers, Roderick Kingsley, Scorpion, Stegron, Iguana, The Sisterhood of The Wasp, Carmilla Black, Mendel Stromm the Robot Master, and The Hand.

 

Karlicuper flies down from the rafters of the ceiling and asks Gabriel what he wants. Gabriel tells her he’s been an idiot, and he’s sorry, but he wasn’t good enough for her last time they were together. All this is for her, control over multiple large scale criminal organizations in South and North America, Asia, and parts of Europe. So, can she forgive him? Karlicuper kisses him and they laugh maniacally!

 

At the Slingers Base, Ana Kravinoff watches as the injured Sarah reunited with Kaine. If there’s any good left in Gabriel, it doesn’t matter now. She doesn’t have a choice. She has to kill Gabriel Stacy.

 

AMAZING SLINGERS ARC 8: LONG LIVE THE KING

 

SPECTACULAR SIX ARC 4: LONG LIVE THE KING

 

WITH TIE INS ACROSS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, FROM DAREDEVIL TO SILVER AND BLACK TO  (next article) DEADPOOL TO HUMAN TORCH TO HAWKEYR TO CAPTAIN AMERICA to the AVENGERS

 

Thanksgiving is where we start. (Original plan was to publish this article on thanksgiving, took me a bit longer to finish this due to some stuff with a new job) All of our characters having their individual Thanksgivings. The Parker House, which invited Kaine(who will bring food back to Sarah later because she’s in the infirmary of their base after being stabbed), Doc Ock and Anna Maria, and Ben Reilly, Marina, and Fabian. Spider-Goblin is at his Uncle’s and has invited Norah Winters, who doesn’t usually celebrate thanksgiving. The Osborn’s are having a big charity thing that Parker-Watson Industries is also part of to give food to the homeless for Thanksgiving. Miles is having Thanksgiving at home with his family, and has decided to introduce Ana to his parents after learning her previous Thanksgivings involved killing and eating Sabretooth tigers in the savage land to gain mystical power and enhanced senses instead of turkey. Miles will be happy to be home and get a relaxing break, as for months now, it seems like he’s just been having to lead a team of superheroes, against some of the most dangerous villains in the multiverse, one after the other, each one more dangerous than the last. Miles and Ana’s relationship has become strained for a number of reasons, including distance with them being on different teams, and Ana’s knowing Kate Bishop tried to kiss him. As well, she thinks being a hero is making her weaker. It will be an awkward thanksgiving at the Morales household, and due to Ana’s childhood as a Kravinoff, she doesn’t have much to be thankful for. They will work through those issues and Ana will be thankful for getting to be welcomed in by a real family, instead of a psycho super villain family.

 

In the waters beyond Symkaria, a naval vessel.. suddenly torpedoed! Black Cat and Queen Cat go to investigate, discovering the torpedos came from a Delvidian sub. Delvadia is in South America. This doesn’t make sense. Silver Sable arrives in her ship. We learn that in Silver and Black comics the pirate queen version of Sable and Black Cat have already met.

 

Basically, all the people living on Sable’s giant pirate ship have been welcomed into Symkaria and live there now. Black Cat and Silver Sable fought because Felicia thought Sable was trying to take over the country entrusted to her by the one she considers “the real Sable.” This Sable has no desire to rule however, and only wants to lead the Symkarian navy. Black cat also prefers to just defend Symkaria and be a bounty hunter, letting Lilly and Parliament make most of the political choices. She longs for the simple days back before everything became so complicated and difficult.

 

There’s a brief fight as Black Cat distrusts alternate Sable, but soon, a far larger issue comes to their attention. Delvadia is a very isolationist country. It was known they were having an election, it was not known who was running.

 

President Roderick Kingsley has just declared war on Symkaria!

 

In New York, Silk is battling The Hippo, formerly a normal Hippo that was evolved into a more intelligent state by the High Evolutionary, when she is suddenly gassed with knockout gas! Gabriel Stacy the Goblin King tells a scared Hippo to leave while still able to. Silk wakes up to find Gabriel Stacy has set up his lair inside an abandoned Roller rink to resemble a funeral home… with a closed coffin at the end.

 

In Symkaria, a man with a golf club bag rents out a room across from parliament.

 

Silk looks at the coffin as The Goblin King asks if she wants to take a look… at who is inside? Silk webs the coffin down so that can’t happen and attacks Goblin King. He asks if she really thinks she can beat him? He killed her once, and he can do it again! She is destined to die by his hand!  The much more powerful foe battles the young Silk. The fight will go on as we all grow more and more fearful Silk will get killed again.

 

In Symkaria, the golf club bag is full of sniper rifle pieces.

 

Goblin King will grab Silk, jump on his Goblin Glider, and fly her over the city, and they’ll toss each other against buildings as Gabriel leads her to his ultimate destination…. George Washington Bridge…. the place Gwen Stacy died! Gabriel electrically shocks her, wraps her up in cable, and flies her high into the sky. As they go up higher and higher, we reveal Gabriel has an insulated suit with filters on his mask to survive at this height.

 

Meanwhile in Symkaria, the sniper prepares his weapons.

 

Silk attempts to taunt Gabriel about trying to relive his father's glories, and that Gabriel isn’t even anywhere near Norman Osborn, he couldn’t even succeed in keeping her dead. This distracts Gabriel long enough for her to knock him off the Glider and web him up, as she attempts to fly it down, but the glider responds to his thoughts, so it just tries to kill her as Gabriel rips through the webbing and attacks, telling her that this is just the beginning, but it’s all she’s going to get to see, before tossing her to the earth below, she creates a web parachute just in time and crashes into the river. She looks up and realizes Gabriel thinks she’s dead and is flying off.  Meanwhile in the city, dozens of 10 foot tall pumpkin bombs hidden in the subways explode, each one hitting an Alchemax or Parker Industries facility above it! Peter Parker on the top floor leaps out the window to the bottom few floors to lift away debris blocking his employees from escaping the building. MJ arrives and helps out wherever she can. They save everyone as suddenly, members of the new Goblin Nation and the Rainbow Goblin Battalion rise out of the hole now in the floor of the building!

 

MJ will use some self defense training to protect herself and Peter battle the villains as more henchmen arrive in armored cars, the Crime Masters turned Goblin Nation members! “I guess we’re out of retirement.”

 

In Symkaria, Black Cat prepares to speak to Parliament on the declaration of war. People in the streets are frightened. Black Cat, Queen Cat, and Silver Sable get on stage… when a sniper bullet fires at Black Cat! Queen Cat leaps in front of her! She takes the bullet to the heart and dies in Black Cat’s arms… the same way Silver Sable did.

 

Outside, the sniper leaves as an explosion rocks the Symkarian capitals town square. Out of the smoke…. a kaiju sized version of the villainous Iguana roars and begins to destroy buildings!

 

 

Meanwhile, The Slingers Base, currently occupied by Miles, Kaine, and Ana, with Sarah sleeping in a hospital bed, is attacked by the Goblin Nation, the Rainbow Goblin Coalition, and the demonic succubus Karlicuper. The Goblin Nation is trying to break into the Slingers Base, and Miles will activate the bases newly installed variety of non lethal stun based defenses one by one. These defenses were installed after the Goblin Busters took the place over while they were gone. Karlicuper reveals they have hostages, which forces the Slingers to leave their base and save the hostages. Karlicuper, in the chaos, will make it into the medical area of the base, first shutting off all defenses, and attempt to kill Sarah in her sleep, but it's revealed she woke up and is out of the medical bed. Sarah fights Karlicuper, who is eventually knocked out by none other than… Daredevil. The rest of Goblin Nation retreats and the Slingers get Karlicuper into a holding cell.

 

In Symkaria Black Cat calls an old friend to help as Iguana destroys buildings. Iguana roars at the sky as on the other side of the city the Goblin-Spider piloted Tri-Sentinel does a superhero landing and fires his fists like middles at Iguana!!!! There’s a fight that ends with an unconscious Iguana tied up in steel beams.

 

Black Cat swears vengeance, she’s taking the fight to Delvadia! And to do this, she needs Silver Sable’s help.

 

Peter will learn after the attacks on Alchemax and Parker Industries there were more attacks, these ones releasing criminals loyal to Gabriel Stacy from The Raft and Ravencroft asylum. Peter thinks that all of this is happening because of him. Gabriel Stacy is targeting him through his people, his family. MJ tells him that’s not the case, he’s targeting everyone, and they’re all in this together. Peter tells MJ that if they are both back, he’ll have a new Iron Spider suit built for her.

 

MJ tells Peter, she doesn’t want the new Iron Spider suit, she doesn’t want to be Iron Spider anymore. She wants to help him, but some other way. Peter accepts this, and tells her she never needed a suit of armor to help him.

 

Meanwhile, dozens of guards are dead outside of the temporary holding cell Mysterio was being kept in before he could be transferred to the Raft. Each of them had been killed in ritualistic ways. Daredevil tells this to Kaine, Sarah Stacy, Ana, and Miles. There’s a lot going on in the city right now, with the mayor dead, the bombings, and all the escaped prisoners, and he thinks that The Hand is using the chaos to hide their plans. He thinks Mysterio was broken out by them. The heroes will go to find Mysterio, Kaine doesn’t think Sarah is ready to fight again, Sarah says she’s fine.

 

So basically, I want to do a hand story that incorporates stuff from the Netflix shows like Black Sky’s and the giant hole in the ground, but have some improvements because Netflix failed with the hand. Since this is a comic and not a Netflix show, you can be more over the top, but still, the ideas are there.

 

Daredevil and Kaine will have a conversation regarding the death of Kingpin. Kaine and Daredevil had both thought they would be the ones to finally take him down, get him impeached from office,  and send him to prison, but now, it’s just suddenly over. Daredevil wonders. He’s spent years fighting Kingpin. It consumed him. Now that he’s gone, what’s next? What he fears most is that with Kingpin gone, something worse will replace him. Ana will use her hunting and tracking skills to go from Mysterio’s cell and lead them like a greyhound to the city block where Shadowland once stood. Everyone is shocked, it’s back, just like it was before. But that’s… impossible. Everyone notices the strange fog on the ground, Daredevil smells the explanation: magic in the air. They used magic to bring back Shadowland. Everyone quietly infiltrates Shadowland, making their way downward to the basement, where Daredevil can hear prisoners heartbeats. Kaine has to remind everyone to be careful and aware of their surroundings. He’s fought The Hand before, and they don’t set off spider sense. Daredevil comments they don’t have heartbeats either, which means they can sneak up on him. Heartbeats are the reason he found the prisoners. They’re the only ones with heartbeats here. They discover that none of the prisoners are Mysterio, just people the Hand have been taking blood from. A freaked out Miles will question them on what to they do with the blood, and we’re told: they don’t know. All they know is it goes into the pit. They tell the prisoners to wait in their cells. They’re going to stop the hand, then they’ll come back for them. It’s too dangerous right now. They discover in the next room “the pit” which is a giant hole in the ground. Everyone seems to agree this is ominous and dread provoking. Daredevil can’t sense anything in the pit. It’s like his radar sense is blocked off. Suddenly, hand ninjas attack and a battle begins. But, there’s too many of them. There are literally over a hundred of them. Miles tells everyone they have to go into the pit. It’s the only way to escape. Everyone swings down, and Daredevil senses a heartbeat. A heartbeat he’s heard before. The one that killed Kingpin. Gabriel Stacy. Daredevil leaps into the pit. Down below, everyone finds that at the bottom of the pit is a system of catacombs. Ana examines the bodies. They’re all dressed like Hand Ninjas, and each of them is hundreds of years old. Daredevil will be attacked by an invisible enemy and tossed against walls. Daredevil is then seemingly demonically possessed, and begins to laugh evilly as he battles the Slingers. The Beast, using Daredevil’s bodies tells all of them they are doomed. The time of blood and sacrifice comes soon! The Beast moves out of Daredevil and into Kaine, who’s wrists stingers come out of him and are used to cut his palm and and put the blood into the skeletons, which suddenly reanimate, reforming as actual hand ninjas. Kaine is unpossessed, and everyone fights the reanimated ninjas, running down the hall until they eventually arrive at a door they can lock, and lock themselves into what is revealed to be the room Mysterio’s prison cell is in.

 

Peter meanwhile, with Parker Industries in chaos, checks with Silver and Black to see if they can help him, but the line is busy. Peter st this point learns there’s a war happening in Symkaria. MJ. Moments it’s like everything is going wrong at once. At this point, Ben Reilly arrives with Marina and Fabio. He tells them the reason for that, and the real reason they came for Thanksgiving: to warn them. Gabriel Stacy is now the leader of the Masters of Crime. He’s working with the Black Tarantula Cartel, The Sisterhood of the Wasp, The Scriar cult, The Hand, and Roderick Kingsley? Roderick Kingsley is the new president of Delvadia. The Goblin Nation has become an actual nation.

 

Daredevil asks Mysterio, he died, he saw him die! How is her alive?

 

Mysterio will tell everyone, the Hand worships a demon- Daredevil interrupts “The Beast. I’ve met him.”

 

Mysterio will continue. They’re looking for people, rare people, one in a billion, who can host the Beast inside of them permanently. The Hand’s been doing ritualistic experiments for years to try and find what they’re looking for: The Black Sky. Gabriel Stacy made a deal with them. He promised to reveal the identity of a Black Sky to them in exchange for help in destroying New York. He told them that I was the Black Sky. They brought me back to life. They said that they would come for me eventually, but it was years ago… I thought. I don’t know… they would be defeated by you guys first! Mysterio begs them for help. He doesn’t want to be possessed. Daredevil questions him. Why would the Beast want to be in human form? Mysterio tells them the Beast is always partly in Hell. He’s never been fully on earth, even when he possessed Daredevil in shadowland. A Black Sky gives him full and complete possession. He doesn’t get a foot into our world, he gets his whole body. Hand ninjas break the door open and attack. The Slingers and Daredevil fight them. Miles tells everyone that they’re zombies, they don’t have to go easy on them. But even with this, they’re still a mile beneath the city with an army that can’t die and a magic fortress between them and freedom. Mysterio tells them there’s a back exit and they follow him through, ending up in a different area of the catacombs. Ana and Daredevil both work to try and sense the area around them. They think they lost them. Kaine thinks Sarah never should have come. Sarah argues she can take care of herself. He needs to stop treating her like glass. Whatever they have to fight, they fight it together. Kaine apologizes. Sarah is then possessed by the Beast, who tells him Sarah will die, as will all of them…..And then he will return them to life again and again… they will destroy the city they love and torture they people they love! There is no escape!!! The Beast leaves Sarah, and she comments it’s a good thing they didn’t bring the kids for this one. Probably would have been too scary for them.

 

Gabriel Stacy will attack as the Goblin King/ Grey Goblin, leading a gang of ninja zombies, and the battle will lead them back to the pit that led them in. They’ll make it back up the pit with Mysterio, but moments before escape, Mysterio will be grabbed by Gabriel and tosses back into the pit. The fortress begins to shake and it’s too dangerous to go back into the pit. They realize all the Hand ninjas are gone. Every one of them has left the fortress and entered the pit. They free the prisoners from Shadowland and lead them out of the fortress as Shadowland collapses, sealing the pit. Everyone wonders what just happened, and in a huge clearing in the catacombs, Mysterio is placed in a blood sarcophagus. Several hundred Hand ninjas, human and zombie, and Gabriel Stacy wait to see what will happen. All the hand ninjas will catch on fire and crumble to dust, flying into the sarcophagus, with Gabriel the only survivor. The Beast, now in human form as Quentin Beck, rises out of the sarcophagus. The time of blood and sacrifice is here. The Black Sky is born!

 

Felicia decides to work with Silver Sable to infiltrate Delvadia.

 

Peter and MJ speaks to Liz Allen and Harry Osborn. Alchemax is going bankrupt. If this happens, thousands of good people could lose their jobs. The only way to help these people is for Parker-Watson Industries to merge together into one Corporation

 

Meanwhile, Donald Menken takes a break from cheating on his wife for a video call with The Goblin King where he tells him everything is going according to plan. Peter Parker was as predictable as always. Donald Menken is now a shareholder in Parker-Watson Industries.

 

Meanwhile, all the Slingers meet to discuss what has just happened. Ana is missing though.

 

Sensing Normie is in the Slingers base, Karlicuper uses hellfire to melt the bars. She allowed herself to be captured, so that once Normie Osborn arrived, she could kidnap him! The Slingers notice strange magical fog has entered their base, and out of the fog…. zombie ninjas! Karlicuper grabs Normie and uses fire to hold back his symbiote, before Mysterio arrives and teleports her away with Normie!

 

Gabriel Stacy breaks into Ranjeeta Ratha’s home and tells her that they have a mutual enemy: Spider-Man. He thinks that with her help, he should be able to bathe the streets in the blood of him and his entire brood in only a few short days… so what do you say?

 

Ranjeeta spits on him. He grabs her and asks if she’s joking? What happened to making the wall crawlers pay for all the destruction they’ve done to this city? All the lives just like her’s they’ve destroyed? Ranjeeta corrects him. All the destruction done by superheroes, as well as men like him. Ranjeeta tells Gabriel she refuses to participate in one of the many endless grudge matches between Spider-Man and his archenemies. Gabriel thanks her for referring to him as the arch nemesis. She comments he’s ONE of the arch-nemesis. She’s always felt Scorpion was a bigger threat though. Gabriel grimaces, Ranjeeta stabs him with a fork, he tosses her aside, tells her she gets that one for free, a person’s family is a sad thing to lose, and flies off.

 

Gabriel and Karlicuper are roller skating together. Due to Karlicuper being a scale covered winged demon, it’s a bit comical. Gabriel tells Karlicuper. All his life he’s heard people call his father evil. He never denied it. It was because of the fear he created his father was a great man. A visionary. How can he ever live up to that? Karlicuper tells him: stop trying to live up to Norman Osborn…. surpass him. Be better. Gabriel asks: how? She hugs him. “No mercy”

 

Meanwhile, Donald Menken complains to the board of directors at Parker-Watson. Peter Parker is a great inventor yes, but he’s a terrible businessman. We reveal that Peter Parker has given so much to charity to try and help the city, that if he gave any more money to help those less fortunate than him, Parker Industries would stop making money altogether.

 

Ana, having tracked Gabriel to the abandoned roller rink that Karlicuper used to compete in roller derbies at, discovers Gabriel sitting on a throne of bones. He tells her “these bones are from people who donated them to science. I did not steal them! I’m not a monster….though I did kill a bunch of scientists to get them...eh, maybe I am.”

 

Ana will attack Gabriel alone, trying to kill him, using hunting rifles and throwing knives as she attempts to kill him for the greater good. At one point she shoots him, bad then thinking she’s won, will be relieved it’s all finally over, but looking at the body, think she’s made a terrible mistake. Gabriel will reveal he’s still alive, and reveal to Ana that he actually has the Carnage symbiote, something he had kept hidden from the heroes until now. Ana battles Gabriel, now calling himself SPIDERCIDE.

 

Ana screams in anger at Gabriel Stacy. He killed Silk. He hurt her friends. She leaps at him, he dodges. Ana knows she’s being sloppy, letting her emotions get the better of her, preventing her from fully being a perfect hunter, but she can’t stop. And because of this, Gabriel is winning. Gabriel blows up the roof, trapping Ana, unconscious, beneath tons of rubble. Gabriel, thinking she’s dead, leaves.

 

Peter learns the board of Parker-Watson wants to meet with him, but decides to skip it. Saving the city is more important. He visits the Slingers base, where Liz and Harry are also at. Normie was kidnapped and Ana is missing. Peter greets Daredevil. It’s been awhile since they’ve teamed up. He’s missed having a dark and brooding straight man to bounce the quips off of. Matt comments he hasn’t missed the quips. Matt tells Peter he’s the acting mayor of New York now. He’s doing the best he can to keep the peace, but it’s too much.

 

The Slingers, Spectacular Six, MJ, and Peter Parker all meet up. Peter tells everyone that it’s a “second to worst case scenario”. Liz Allen questions what a “second to worst case scenario” is.

 

Peter explains: A  second to worst case scenario is a Goblin based villain having both an army and a symbiote and is actively trying to kill us all.

 

And… at the same time. Ravencroft and The Raft have both just had a mass breakout. Everyone out is people they put away.

 

Just then, Peter learns that Gabriel Stacy is outside Parker-Watson, and he wants to meet with Peter, just Peter. Anyone else comes, he blows up the building!

 

Peter goes, and asks Gabriel if he’s going to give his master plan now? Gabriel does.

 

How do you beat someone with so many resources? You dismantle it, systematically, on every level, until there is nothing left. Symkaria’s resources are depleted. The Daily Bugle and Alchemax are both having very hard times financially due to all the times supervillains have destroyed them, the only continue to exist because you are propping them up with Parker Watson Industries. The Goblin Nation has taken over Crime in New York. Everything has been maneuvered so that it could all be destroyed at one single point. Parker Industries.

 

Donald Menken meets with the rest of the stockholders. Once again, Peter Parker can’t even show up for a meeting. Instead, he chooses to endanger his life, and thereby the company’s life yet again. Our stock continues to drop because of Peter Parker’s blatant nepotism. He allows The Slingers and Spectacular Six to continue despite public outcry against them.Anyway, if he isn’t coming, it’s time to decide: should Parker Industries dump Peter Parker? The vote begins, and everyone unanimously votes Peter out. This page of the comics previous panels have been closeups. We now reveal the room is filled with Goblin Nation members working with Menken. Menken tells everyone that their children are all waiting on the fifth floor daycare center, safely protected by our friends at Goblin Nation. One of the shareholders tells Menkin that he disgusts him. Menkin remarks “I don’t care.”

 

Peter learns that he just lost his company in a text, and speaks: “worst case scenario”

 

Gabriel laughs at Peter and flies away.

 

The Slingers arrive and tell Peter, all the crime they’ve been fighting just disappeared. All of Goblin Nation, but just Crime in general too. There is at this moment, no crime in New York.

 

Later at the Slingers base, Peter talks to Anna Maria on the phone. She’s in charge of the experimental division of Parker Industries research and development. She’s going to do whatever she can to make sure Donald Menken gets none of it. We reveal she’s setting a large pile of documents on fire in her lab as she ends the call. In the hallway, Menken announces they’ve all had it too good for too long! They’re hardly getting work done! He’s cancelling Christmas!

 

Gabriel Stacy tells his followers that as of now, he is not just the Goblin King, as of now, he is the king of New York!!!

 

Meanwhile, Fabio is kidnapped by his evil uncle Maximo La Muerte and Scorpion right in front of Ben Reilly.

 

The Sisterhood of the Wasp meets with The Spider-Queen. They have big plans for this city.

 

Scorpion is led by Stegron to his mad science lab, where dino hybrids are being outfitted with weapons and armor. With these, the Slingers will be destroyed once and for all, and the city will be theirs for the taking.

 

The Beast, possessing Mysterio, tells his army of Hand ninjas the time has come to take the city.

 

Mendel Stromm resolves, this time, he’ll show them all! The whole city who dared to laugh at him!

 

White Rabbit meets with a Menagerie of other animal based c and d list villains, the city is waiting, it's time to profit!

 

Kraven The Hunter and his conjoined twin voodoo resurrected sons Grim Hybrid prepare. Kraven comments that the city will surely die soon. But, he cares nothing of what the others plan for the city. His mission is a more personal one: to kill Miles Morales and end this affront to his family honor once and for all!

 

Gabriel Stacy…. SPIDERCIDE, looks over the city and smiles. Karlicuper is at his side. A brainwashed Normie Osborn in front of him, staring out as well. They all look at the city...together…. like a family. Spidercide tells Karlicuper it’s time for the end game. She responds: No mercy dear.

 

A beaten Ana awakens, finding herself trapped beneath tons of rubble. Her leg is pinned. She’s going to have to dig her way out.

 

Ben Reilly discovers his Doppleganger Richard Fitzgerald/ The Jackal watching him. He prepares to fight, and The Jackal tells him he comes in peace. See, he wants to help defeat Gabriel. And to do so, they need to get Fabio back. Ben questions why Jackal is helping him? Jackal asks if he still hasn’t figured out what his plan is. This should be simple, they have the same memories, the same emotions after all. He isn’t evil Ben Reilly, he’s every part of Ben Reilly Ben hates about himself! The endgame is the same endgame they’ve always had: save the world. Sure, my way involves world domination, control over all the world’s crime,  and abominations of science and nature, but the endgame is solid....

 

Ben stares in a mix of shock and disgust, then agrees to work with Ben. After Gabriel is beaten, all bets are off.

 

Jackal wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

MJ asks Peter what’s happening. In just one day everything is falling apart. He responds: “I think we just lost.”

 

May coughs, and me move into her, shrinking down until we’re at her microscopic level, the level now being attacked by microscopic Lee Price’s/ Maniac’s who are attacking her bloodstream!!

 

Sarah and Kaine meet on a rooftop. Whatever was happening, it’s over for now. The Goblin Nation has gone back underground. Sarah knows Gabriel. He’s doing this to build anticipation. He wants to scare them.

 

Sarah tells Kaine that she loves him. Kaine responds in kind. Sarah comments Gabriel is still out there. Who knows how long we have until he comes back. And all the other threats... For all we know, by the time this is over, the world could have ended. If we just sit and wait scared for Gabriel to return though… then he’s already won. Sarah says yes to his marriage proposal.

 

…I have come far from trying to figure out if I could take a character everyone hated because of Sin’s Past and make an audience hate him for the reasons you should hate a villainous character.

 

Next time:

 

The Grand Finale!

The following article, and every subsequent article I make that is in any way connected to Marvel Comics, is dedicated to Stan Lee. He created the characters I love, he inspired me to become a writer. Thank you.

 

"You know, my motto is 'Excelsior.' That's an old word that means 'upward and onward to greater glory.' It's on the seal of the state of New York. Keep moving forward, and if it's time to go, it's time. Nothing lasts forever." – Stan Lee, Playboy
 

"I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing." – Stan Lee, The Washington Post

 

“Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people’s well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them — even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero”
