"Dr. Octopus, no I should say Dr. Otto, he ultimately regained his sanity and self-control. Now looking back we can see that he was also a pitiful victim."
In eternal space, Peter saw how Dr. Octopus eventually sent the energy sphere of nuclear fusion into the cold river, extinguishing himself along with it. Shaking his head, Peter sighed, "Releasing this video was the best for him, preventing this tragedy from happening."
Gordon glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. "In my opinion, exposing this video might not be a good thing for him. Even if he hasn't done anything now, in the eyes of the public, he's already an evil mad scientist."
Bruce Wayne nodded solemnly. "Exactly,
From this video, all they see is a dangerous supercriminal attempting an uncontrollable experiment, bringing disaster to the entire city."
Even Arthur agreed with them, sarcastically saying, "Peter, do you know that feeling? When you think you're fine, but everyone else believes you're a hopeless lunatic... That feeling is terrible"
Peter gradually recovered from their reminder. "Uh, you mean, after this future video exposure, Dr. Otto might be harmed?"
Gordon shrugged. "At least the Osborn Group won't sponsor him anymore. No, I should say, he probably won't get any sponsorship, and his job might even be affected."
Peter scratched his head, saying, "Okay, Dr. Otto's nuclear fusion experiment didn't succeed, but the mechanical arms he created... without artificial intelligence, it's still a decent invention."
Bruce shook his head, stating, "Without AI, his mechanical arms are just ordinary weapons in many military labs, lacking competitiveness. Anyway, our concern is whether Dr. Otto can handle the rumors. If he can't... "
Batman is always prepared for the worst. Optimistically, it's called being cautious; pessimistically, it's having a paranoid distrust. In his eyes, Dr. Otto, with his 'criminal record,' was already on the path of crime.
If Doctor Octopus were in Batman's world, Bruce would surely investigate covertly and devise plans and tactics against him. Of course, he hoped those plans would never be needed.
For now, he could only subtly remind Peter.
Peter frowned, but the video portrayed him playing the hero, with the energy burst from the nuclear fusion energy ball causing the laboratory's front wall to collapse. Mary Jane was under the debris.
Spider-Man, in a heroic move to save his damsel, rushed over, using all his strength to support the collapsing wall. However, after a fierce battle with Doctor Octopus, he was exhausted and struggling. Face turning red, he gazed intensely at Mary Jane below. "This is really heavy... what if we don't make it..."
Mary Jane looked up, saying what Spider-Man couldn't voice, "You love me, even if you won't admit it."
"Yes."
At this point, numerous female viewers couldn't help but scream, "Wow, it's so romantic! I dream of being looked at like that by Spider-Man, it would be so blissful!"
"Who can resist Spider-Man like that?, before I used to admire Mary Jane, but now I envy her."
"Hey, buddy, am I hearing right? You're a guy, and Spider-Man is a guy too! what's going on in your head? Your physique alone is as robust as two Spider-Mans.... Oh shit don't tell me you are gay!"
"What's wrong with being gay? Are you discriminating against homosexuality? Let me tell you, only men truly understand men. Women are just a burden. If I were with Spider-Man, we could fight villains together, I would not become a hostage threatened by the bad guys!"
In the video, finally, the lab and the nuclear fusion experiment sank into the water. Spider-Man successfully rescued Mary Jane, creating a web in mid-air, and both lay on the web, gazing at each other.
Under the moonlight, the scene was exceptionally romantic. Having gone through hardships, Spider-Man had matured, clarifying his life goals and values.
He confessed his feelings to Mary Jane, genuinely loving her, but he couldn't be with her because he would always be Spider-Man, and Spider-Man always had enemies.
Peter didn't want Mary Jane to be endangered, as was evident in this situation.
Despite their mutual love, they couldn't be together, creating a poignant scene that brought tears to many female viewers. Then, the video paused, presenting a new question: [Question: Will Peter Parker/Spider-Man, ultimately be with Mary Jane?]
[A: Yes
B: No]
Seeing this question, Gordon shrugged at Peter, saying, "Kid, emotionally, I hope you two end up together, but logically, the answer to this question should be b."
"Uh..." Peter scratched his head, "But I'm already with Mary Jane, even if we haven't gone through all this. We love each other."
Gordon raised an eyebrow, "You chose between love and the career of Spider-Man. It's admirable, Peter. I hope my kid grows up to be a hero like you. But don't forget, Mary Jane is already engaged, at least in this future video; there seems to be no future between you two."
Arthur seemed to challenge him, "Heh, Peter, listen to me. Sometimes it's not a choice between 1 or 2. You can have it all—love and the career of Spider-Man aren't entirely contradictory."
Peter Parker nodded, thinking the same. Initially, like his normal timeline self, he worried that revealing Spider-Man's identity would endanger his girlfriend or Aunt May. However, after talking to Iron Man, Captain America, and other superheroes, he changed his mindset. Superheroes, for the cause of justice, sometimes had to make significant sacrifices, but it didn't mean superheroes had to be loners for life.
