"So your precaution paid off. Now we have three different versions. Nice one John." Tony mocked as he arrived. He was indicating the fact that another version of themselves turned out to be the main culprit in all of the security measures they took yesterday.
"They aren't the culprits here. Chill." John said. Finally, all took their seats and thus the meeting began.
"This case is very interesting actually. As you can see, we have 3 different Spider-Mans from different universes. And they are here to form a team of Spider-man from different universes. Spider-mans from a different universe are being hunted down right now as we speak." John said.
Now when they heard that every Spider-man was being hunted down, they got interested. John had said there was a reason why there was Spider-man in all universes. This meant that he was important in the picture.
"So do we know who the killers are?" Clark asked.
"We do. It's a family. Think of the family as vampires. But in reverse. This family instead of sucking the blood of humans they eat the flesh of beast totems. Yes, you heard me right. They don't drink blood, but eat totems. To maintain their life force and in turn feed their immortality." John said. All who heard it had an ugly face now. The women in the group had hands on their mouths while the men were just angry about what they heard.
"We need to annihilate them." Wayne said.
"We do. But there is a problem. They all have clones of themselves. And until their life force runs out we can't kill them in reality." John said.
"So what? We can easily kill all their clones and kill their real bodies after finding them." Steve said.
"It's not so easy. They are protected by the Master Weaver. A semi-god. His web of Life and Destiny allows them to hop in different worlds undetected and find different Spider-man. That is why their family is able to search Spider-man so easily. And that is why they were able to get away from my eyes and Steve's."
"Now who is Master Weaver?" Tony asked.
"Master Weaver is the totemic beast of Spider-Man. It is for him that every world has different Spider-Man and his webs of life and destiny hold many of the realities together. Like Black Panther's totemic beast is Bast."
"You mean Master Weaver is under the control of the family and with him that family is able to find out the Spider-Man?" Wayne asked as he was able to deduce the information John gave in a fast manner.
"Yes. That is the reason. But this time it's not the family that is hunting down the Spider-man. Rather an outcast. He was given the punishment of wearing a mask till eternity. And in order to get his honor back, he has been hunting down Spider-man." John said.
"Wait, you said they need to eat the Spider-man to feed their immortality. Why are there no such incidents on all the dead bodies of Spider-Man?" Superior Spider-Man asked as he was the only one who had seen the puncture marks.
"He is an outcast because he once hesitated to hurt Master Weaver. He in general doesn't like violence and he hates what he needs to do to remain alive. They only need blood to maintain their life force. Those puncture marks on their chests allow him to draw the blood out." John said.
"So they are just savages and in the mud a lotus has bloomed?" Barry asked.
"Yes." John nodded.
"Any powers we need to look out for?" Clark asked.
"Naah.. Just their immortality is a headache and of course their clones. But if we can get our hands on Solus's life crystal it will be game over for them." John said.
"Oh yes, their family is known as the inheritors and Solus was the previous patriarch who directed his children to take the path of evil. There are many siblings and they hunt down all the beast totems." John said. Wayne, who was thinking of something, suddenly had a revelation and asked.
"So this outcast killed T'Challa?"
"I fear that this is what has happened. He must have felt that Peter was in tight security and his hunger for life force overwhelmed him. So he had no other choice but to attack him."
"This is one f**ked up story." Arthur commented.
"This Master Weaver must be really something. He escaped the eyes of you, Thor and Strange." Banner said.
"Yes. He must be." John mumbled. Master Weaver's story was another matter entirely. His story was another kind of f**ked up.
"So now we need to find their family and kill them." Clark said.
"Yes. Supposedly they originated from Earth-001 but I just checked. They aren't there. So they must be hiding in a very secure place to get away from my detection."
"First we need to get the outcast and then through him, the whole family." Steve said as many decided to get involved in bringing the inheritors down. Just the savagery of them disgusted everyone present.
