Seeing himself rushing out the door on screen, Peter lowered his head and kept silent.
Honestly, although he had great respect for Uncle Ben, he really didn't have a good impression of his father, who left without saying goodbye.
[The video continued.]
[On the screen, Uncle Ben was walking in the streets, shouting Peter's name while looking for him.]
[But Peter was sitting on an iron support pillar at the bottom of a bridge at this time and didn't respond to Uncle Ben's call.]
Seeing that, Natasha frowned and whispered...
"You should treat your family better. "
Peter looked back at her in surprise but saw Natasha was faintly showing a trace of sadness, but it disappeared in an instant. She became the calm female agent again.
At that moment just now, Natasha remembered the family she had when she was a child.
Or... the people pretending to be a family.
[Depressed, Peter walked into a convenience store and got into an argument with the clerk.]
[Peter was in a bad mood. And now, he was even angrier.]
[Just as Peter was leaving, he saw the blond man that was standing in line behind him take the opportunity to steal cash from the clerk's box.]
[But Peter thought it was none of his business, so he ignored it.]
[Even when the clerk found that something was wrong and asked Peter to help him chase the thief, Peter just opened his hand and said.]
["Not my policy."]
[And he walked away.]
[No one expected that Uncle Ben, who was looking for Peter, happened to come from across the street. He bumped into the thief head-on.]
[When the thief fell down, a gun fell out of his arms.]
'Gun!'
Seeing a murder weapon falling to the ground on-screen, Peter opened his mouth wide in horror, and the hairs on his nape stood on end. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"Uncle Ben, no!"
At this moment, a sense of foreboding struck Peter like lightning. He felt as if his whole body was covered in ice.
[The video continued.]
[In order to get the gun, Uncle Ben and the thief started a struggle. In the course of their argument, the gun went off, and Uncle Ben slowly fell to the ground.]
[Peter was attracted by the gunshot and saw Uncle Ben, who was lying in a pool of blood. He cried in despair.]
"This... This is my fault... I got Uncle Ben killed?"
Looking at the scene on-screen in disbelief, Peter opened his mouth wide in horror. His eyes turned red, and some tears started to pool.
Hearing his remorse, Tony frowned and was about to speak, but to his surprise, Strange beat him to it and said...
"Peter, I understand your pain, but that's not the case. "
Hearing that, the tearful Peter looked up at Strange.
The former surgeon serious looked at him and calmly said...
"In the video, even if what you did was wrong, but you can't say you killed Uncle Ben. "
"No!"
Peter roared.
"If I caught the thief, Uncle Ben wouldn't have ..."
Strange interrupted him...
"That man's a thief, yes that's true. Do you remember how he got the money from the convenience store?"
"He stole it. "
Natasha said thoughtfully...
"This guy clearly had a gun, but he didn't take it out to rob the store. He just stole."
"That's right."
Strange said...
"This proves that the thief is indeed not a good man, but he's not a murderous maniac. "
"Uncle Ben's death could only be called an accident. It was a series of unfortunate events. "
Saying that Strange shrugged his shoulders...
"I once saved a patient from his death bed. It wasn't long after he recovered that... he killed his own wife...."
He solemnly looked at Peter and said...
"If I hadn't saved him, maybe his wife would still be alive. I blamed myself. It took me a while to understand ... was I the one that killed the woman?"
"That ..."
Listening to Strange's words, Peter's whole body felt numb; he stood there speechless.
Tony stood aside at the moment, his eyes slightly changed.
However, he was well-informed and experienced, so he instantly judged that Strange's remarks didn't really fit the case and were, to some extent, similar to sophistry.
'But, to convince a silly kid, it may be a bit useful.'
Tony sighed softly and didn't interrupt.
Then, Strange continued...
"When I was a doctor, I just tried my best to save every patient. But, I still had to accept that I couldn't do the impossible. "
Strange looked at Peter with burning eyes...
"In the video, you didn't chase the thief, which was indeed a mistake. "
"But you couldn't have predicted that Uncle Ben would show up there. It was an accident. "
"Can only say that fate was playing a trick on you. "
"But he, in no way, was killed by you. "
Hearing Strange's words, Peter's face finally showed a trace of anger.
Seeing that, Tony suddenly shrugged his shoulders and easily said,
"Excuse me, did you all forget one thing? What is shown on screen are future events. In other words, these things haven't happened yet. "
"Since Peter already knows the future, he can try to stop it. "
Hearing that, Peter was again in high spirits and couldn't help but clench his fists.
He decided that when he returned to his world, he would do everything in his power to find that thief and send him to prison!
In this way, the possibility of a tragedy happening again in the future could be completely eliminated!
Seeing that Peter had gotten out of despair and grief and turned motivated, Loki suddenly walked over to Strange and laughed...
"I really didn't think that you would end up in this situation in order to enlighten a child. "
Glancing at Peter, Strange whispered...
"I also met such colleagues in the hospital. Feeling that as long as the operation failed, he was responsible for the death of the patient. In the end, he had to resign. "
"Oh?"
Loki's expression became somewhat playful.
Strange let out a sigh...
"This kid's is too earnest ..."
"If he keeps thinking that way ... Every time something happens, he would feel responsible for everything and every single person. If he fails even once, he'd feel responsible. Such a moral burden would crush him. "
Loki snorted coldly...
"Your human values are really puzzling. "
[The video continued.]
[While the police were taking a statement from Aunt May, Peter asked for a wanted sketch of the thief.]
[As a result, when he took a look, he froze.]
[The man looked ... like the thief he saw in the convenience store!]
[The person who handed him the sketch also commented.]
["There's one other thing, He has a star... tattooed... on his left hand."]
[Peter finally remembered that the thief, wearing sunglasses, really had a star tattoo on his left hand.]
[Now, he was certain, Uncle Ben's killer, was the guy he let go in the store.]
[Looking at Aunt May, who was sad and crying, Peter couldn't do anything but go back to his room.]
["Peter, I know things have been difficult lately..."]
["And I'm sorry about that. I think I know what you're feeling ..."]
[Listening to the last message left by Uncle Ben on his mobile phone, Peter cried in pain.]
[In order to find the enemy who killed Uncle Ben, Peter began to use his super physical ability and special ability to hunt criminals in the city.]
[And, in order to hide his face, he made a mask. He also built a special device that shot out spider silk.]
Looking at the powerful spider silk Peter made on-screen, Tony's eyes lit up.
This kid might really inherit his scientific techniques and become his successor!
[As Peter kept fighting crime in the city, he began to be called Spider-Man by the citizens.]
[At the same time, his relationship with Gwen was also growing.]
[Gwen took the initiative to invite Peter to dinner at her house.]
[And when Peter came to her place, Gwen's father turned out to be a Captain in the NYPD.]
[At the dinner table, Gwen's father believed that Spider-Man's fight against crime was only for some sort of personal vendetta. It also hindered many undercover operations with the police. The two launched a debate.]
[Finally, Gwen's father frankly said that the NYPD were ready to arrest Spider-Man.]
"Wow... This is interesting."
Tony pinched his own chin and had a mischievous smile on his face.
"A superhero who hides his true identity, wants to chase the Captain's Daughter?"
"It sounds like Romeo and Juliet. "
Hearing that, even Wanda, who was standing on one side, changed the way she looked at the video.
Girls of her age were very interested in romantic stories.
And Peter's expression didn't look so good right now.
"What's this? I fought crime and worked hard on it. Weren't all the criminals I caught got arrested by the police in the end?"
"Speaking of that, I'm still working for you for free!"
"I can't believe they still want to hunt me down!"
Peter was very annoyed.
[The video continued.]
[After the meal, Peter and Gwen went to the rooftop. At this time, after a lot of thought and confusion, Peter admitted his identity as Spider-Man directly to Gwen.]
"Good! Good move, confuse and attack! "
Tony laughed and raised his thumb at Peter.
"I used a similar technique to win a woman who refused me all the time. It's almost like shock hypnosis."
"If you can use it well, you might be able to ask her to ..."
Before Tony finished speaking, there was another change on the screen.
[A monster appeared on the bridge and was attacking the people passing by.]
[It turned out that there was something wrong with Dr Connors, who injected himself with a regenerative serum.]
[Because the regenerative serum was mixed with lizard DNA, he actually turned into a lizard man!]
"Holy shit, what the hell is that?"
Looking at the giant lizard man on the screen, most people in the live stream room showed a surprised look.
Peter himself involuntarily shivered.
On the screen, his future self was bitten by a mutant spider, which gave him spired-like abilities.
"Would I ... become a monster like Dr Connors in the future?"
Seeing that Peter was worried, Tony comforted ...
"I think you're okay. From the video, I can see it has been a long time since you got bitten. Accept for the abilities' side effects, nothing else changed."
Having said that, Tony thought of something.
Judging from Spider-Man's situation, his transformation into a superhero wasn't so much of an accident; it was pre-determined!
'This must have had something to do with Peter's deceased father!'
[The video continued.]
[Under necessity, Spider-Man had to make a move.]
[But this time, it wasn't for a personal vendetta, but to save innocent people!]
Seeing Spider-Man on screen, trying his best to rescue a little boy from a burning car.
The eyes of the crowd in the live stream room viewed Peter in a different light.
From that moment on, they all understood. The teenager who hunted down criminals for his personal vendetta no longer existed.
A superhero, Spider-Man, was born!
Peter himself felt his heart pounding as if the blood all over his body was boiling.
Originally, after seeing Dr Connors's lizardman form, he felt that being bitten by a spider and becoming Spider-Man was a little scary.
But now, Peter was a little eager to try.
Using his superpowers to help people, it seemed like an awesome life.
"With great power comes great responsibility...?"
Peter took a deep breath and uttered the words Uncle Ben had said.
[The video continued.]
[Peter inadvertently discovered the true identity of the Lizard, Dr Connors!]
[He revealed the secret to Gwen's father, but the other party didn't believe him.]
[The irrational Lizard broke into the school and started a big battle with Peter.]
[After the battle, Peter followed the clues and found the Lizard's base in an underground tunnel.]
[At the same time, he also instructed Gwen, who was at Oscorp, to make an antidote to the lizard serum.]
[In the underground secret base, Peter found the images left by Dr Connors.]
["I spent my life as a scientist trying to create a world without weakness, without outcasts."]
["I sought to create a stronger human being."]
["But there's no such thing. Human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble-minded creatures!"]
["Why be human at all when we can be so much more? Faster. Stronger. Smarter! This is my gift to you!"]
[Looking at the video on the computer, Peter finally discovered a terrifying fact.]
[It turned out that his mind was affected by the lizard's genes. Dr Connors even planned to use advanced equipment to release his lizard serum throughout the city, turning all the citizens into lizardmen.]
[At this time, somewhere else, the police found the existence of the Lizard. They sent out a task force, ready to destroy the Lizard.]
[But who would have thought, the recovery ability of the Lizard's body was unbelievable, and ordinary bullets couldn't cause any fatal injuries.]
[Although the Lizard were shot by the police. He was able to recover quickly and used the terrible lizard serum to turn the police into lizardmen!]
Seeing the terrifying scene, several people in the otherworld's live streaming room gasped.
"It's terrifying! Becoming a monster like that is worse than death!"
Young Wanda gulped; she could feel chills running down her back.
"Humph. The police won't have enough firepower to kill him!"
"If it were me, using a small rocket would be enough. The monster wouldn't be able to get back up. "
Tony snorted with a look of absolute confidence on his face.
In S.H.I.E.L.D's office, Fury saw the Lizard on screen, killing everyone. His eyes slightly changed.
'It seems that this other universe isn't a good place either.'
'And not only are there scary super-powered criminals there but there also doesn't seem to be an organisation like S.H.I.E.L.D.!'
'The average person wouldn't have a chance against such a monster.'
"Could it be that... in the end, they would have to rely on that spider kid?"
Fury softly grunted.
[The video continued.]
[After learning about the Lizard's terrifying idea, Spider-Man decided to stop at nothing to stop Dr Connors's crazy move.]
[But before taking the risk, he still tried to get his girlfriend out of danger.]
[Spider-Man called her, "Gwen, you have to get out of Oscorp right now."]
[Gwen: "But the antidote is cooking."]
[Spider-Man: "No, no, no. Connors is on the way. He's coming to you right now. He needs the dispersing device."]
["He's going to infect the whole city!"]
[Gwen glanced at the serum-making device next to her.]
["There's 8 minutes left."]
[Spider-Man: "You're going to wait 8 minutes after what I just told you?"]
[Spider-Man: "People are going to die! You leave right now!"]
[Gwen: "I'm going to get everybody out."]
[Spider-Man: "Hey! Did you hear wh--- Gwen!"]
[Finding that Gwen hung up, Spider-Man stared at the phone and was speechless.]
[Then, Gwen directly activated the emergency evacuation alarm and drove everyone out of the entire building but stayed behind. She waited for the antidote serum to come out.]
"Wow, this girl named Gwen is so cool. "
Young Wanda's eyes lit up, and she almost laughed out loud while watching that.
Even Natasha nodded, "A brave girl. "
[Worrying about his girlfriend, Spider-Man rushed to the Oscorp Building.]
[However, on the way, he encountered the police.]
[Sitting in the helicopter, Captain ... Gwen's father gave Spider-Man an ultimatum...]
["Stand down now, or we will open fire."]
["You are surrounded. There is no escape."]
[Considering Spider-Man as a wanted man, the police fired stun-bullets at him.]
[Spider-Man dodged left and right but was finally hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.]
Seeing that, young Wanda stomped her feet angrily.
"What are these guys doing? Spider-Man was going to save the city, but they shot him!"
Tony's brows furrowed, then stretched. He spoke to Peter.
"Kid, you have to remember this the future. People don't always know and remember that you did a good thing. "
"If you want to have a good reputation, you have to have a voice. "
Pointing to himself, Tony proudly said...
"In the past, there was a newspaper that continuously published articles and fake scandals about me. I just bought the newspaper company and split it up. I fired everyone, from the editor-in-chief to the reporters!"
Having said that, Tony winked at Peter...
"When you have money in the future, you can do the same. However, you shouldn't fire them. Just fire the ones that wrote those things about you. Find new people that could say good things about you."
"This way, it won't take long for you to be the hero of the whole city. "
Peter was dizzy from Tony's words and just kept shaking his head.
"No, I wouldn't do such a thing. How could I? "
[The video continued.]
[Seeing Spider-Man falling to the ground, a group of police officers, including the Captain, landed the helicopter and went to arrest him.]
[Seeing that Spider-Man was handcuffed, the Captain stepped forward and pulled the mask off his head.]
[And just then, Peter Parker struck!]
[He broke free from the handcuffs and then knocked down the rest of the officers in lighting speed.]
[The Captain raised his gun and pointed it at him.]
["Freeze! Down on the ground! Your hands behind your head!"]
[Peter Parker slowly turned around. When the Captain saw his face, he was stunned.]
["Parker?]
["It's headed to Oscorp. And your daughter is there right now!"]
[Peter Parker said, "You got to let me go."]
[Faced with his daughter's boyfriend, the Captain finally put down his gun and let Spider-Man go.]
[But at this moment, there was still an officer next to him, raising his gun at Spider-Man, who was swinging away on his spider silk.]
[The Captain was startled. He hastily tried to stop it but was still a step too late.]
["Bang!"]
[The bullet grazed Spider-Man's leg and wounded him.]
[Although he had been injured, Spider-Man had no time to rest. He tried to rush to Oscorp, where the Lizard was.]
Looking at Spider-Man, who kept limping forward on screen, the live streaming room fell silent.
The guy in spider costume in the video was just a teenager.
But at this moment, he was, without a doubt, an amazing hero!
