After bidding Carol goodbye, Ben returned to the comfort of his home, and again indulged in his favorite pastime—watching Spidey action.
"Spidey and his friends are training with LMDs," Ben murmured, and started focusing on his action.
It brought him back, when he liked to see his favourite anime.
When Spidey and his friends were training with the LMD, some fault happened to the LMD. And instead of doing the simulated combat, they unsheathed their deadliest blades and blasters, and started fighting Spidey and his team.
"Guys, we need to stop this," Spidey said, and he started breaking some parts of the LMD.
"Nick Fury sir is also useless, he can't control his training robots," He murmured while trying to find, what happened to these robots.
Meanwhile inside the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, Fury has found that his LMD were controlled by mutant techno-mage Arcade.
Arcade planned the detonation of 12 nuclear bombs in the United States of America, which will create chaos.
And as soon as Captain America gets this news, he takes an assault aircraft from Fury and goes to stop the Arcade.
But, then he hears some noise around the cockpit.
"Who is hiding here? Come out?" He shouted.
"Sir, it's me," To his surprise, Spider-Man was hiding there.
"Why have you come?" Captain asked.
But before Spidey replied to him, some drones started attacking the aircraft. And under the siege of drones, Spider-Man and Captain America had no choice but to eject from the aircraft.
And after ejecting from aircraft, their focus shifted to manipulating the drones, using them as transport that would carry them to the destination of Madripoor.
As Spidey and Cap landed in Madripoor, they noticed Wolverine with his adamantium claws was slicing through Arcade's Life Model Decoys (LMDs).
Wolverine thought that Captain America and Spidey were also LMD. So he attacked them, but before his attack hurt them, Captain stopped the Wolverine attacks on his Shield.
Seeing this, Wolverine stopped his attack, "So, you guys are not the LMD," Wolverine said, while he started smoking a cigar, before going to face the Arcade.
Soon, the trio confronted Arcade, but before they captured him. Arcade created the virtual battle facility, deployed a legion of LMDs, and unleashed a Sentinel to engage the heroes in a live-action video game.
The heroes faced off against LMD doppelgangers, duplicates of The Hulk and Red Hulk and also with hordes of assault droids unleashed by Arcade.
But then, Wolverine jumps on Captain America's shield and with the help of Spidey, he cuts down the Sentinel. And then the assault droids and LMDs both were destroyed.
Captain America disarmed the nuclear threat, while Arcade was apprehended by the trio of heroes, bringing an end to the drama that had unfolded in the streets of Madripoor.
"Really, the training machines turned into a hell for them, even Wolverine and Steve had to solve this program. It shows Nick Fury's technology was so useless, easily hacked by anyone," Ben comments, expressing his disappointment in Nick Fury's technology, which had turned LMDs into enemy weapons.
As the days passed, Ben once again immersed himself in Spidey's adventures.
And like always, once again, Spidey is caught in a different situation. It happens when Dracula makes a plan to acquire the scattered pieces of the Tekhamentep's Ankh. His ultimate goal was to join the fragments together, and then it will remove all his weaknesses, such as walking in the day, while sun rays didn't harm him.
The plan begins at the Museum of Natural History, where Spider-Man was assigned. But he was unaware about that recently removed Tekhamentep's Ankh from its cloaking shield.
Dracula, seizing the opportunity, descended there. But before he got Tekhamentep's eyes, he was confronted with Blade and Spider-Man's team.
But Dracula easily dodged Nova's supernova attack. And he attempted to bite Power Man, only to find a surprising revelation. That Power Man is invulnerable from this attack.
Seeing this, Dracula used his mind-control powers to manipulate Power Man into fighting against Blade and the rest of the heroic team.
And just like this, he started controlling everyone. But when he tried to control Spider-Man. He was unable, and it happened because of Spider-Man's reflective lenses embedded in his mask.
And then seizing the moment, Spider-Man activated the UV lights, which were placed in the botanical haven. And used the power of sunlight. The searing beams inflicted harm upon Dracula, breaking the hypnotic hold over Spider-Man teammates.
Seeing his plan had fallen, Dracula fled away from there but he had already taken Tekhamentep's Ankh. While Spider-Man, supported by his allies, returned to the Tricarrier.
"Peter, come here I want you to meet some people, this will be your team for this mission. The Howling Commandos," Nick Fury introduced him to a new team. This team was led by Werewolf by Night, N'Kantu the Living Mummy, and Frankenstein's Monster. Spider-Man without asking any questions accepted this.
Seeing that Spidey was going on a dangerous mission, Ben ordered Super Ultron, "Stay close with them, and if anything goes wrong, assist them."
Spider-Man, accompanied by the Howling Commandos and Blade, goes to Transylvania to confront Dracula.
And soon, they were able to defeat Dracula and his minions, and successfully recovered the Tekhamentep's Ankh.
And before they celebrated their victory, N'Kantu used the Tekhamentep's Ankh, to empower himself.
He restored his mummified form and teleported to Manhattan in giant size. There, he confronted Nick Fury and accused S.H.I.E.L.D. of treating the Howling Commandos as mere "freaks" in their collection.
And started attacking on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Nick Fury and his agents were trying to stop N'Kantu, but N'Kantu was overpowered.
But before the N'Kantu was able to harm the Helicarrier, Spider-Man appeared there with the help of a giant-sized Man-Thing, and he used Blade's sword to remove Tekhamentep's Ankh from around N'Kantu's neck. The removal triggered a transformation, reverting N'Kantu to his mummy form.
In the aftermath, Spider-Man expressed heartfelt gratitude to Blade and the Howling Commandos for their assistance.
"This Nick Fury is really unique, he even kept the "freaks", and made them work for himself. Fury was really skilled in assembling a formidable force from many weird people.
But then Ben remembered, he also has many freaks power. He has Rath's fierce combat skills and blade which mirrored Wolverine, just he has not the regeneration. But now he has the power of regeneration, with his rebirth.
He has Lodestar, which has the same abilities as Magneto. And Hypno Tock or AmpFibian can manipulate minds like Charles Xavier.
But then his focus returned back to She-Hulk, and he really wanted to taste that behemoth. Or want to see if he will break her or not.
But before he pursued his dream, a sudden twist disrupted his plans. The emergence of a new team, the Sinister Six.
It happens, when Norman Osborn once again transforms back into the Green Goblin.
The Green Goblin wielding newfound power, instead of directly confronting Spider-Man. First he captured Spider-Man's team with the help of his Sinister Six team.
And before Spider-Man was able to save them, Green Goblin injected them with some substance, causing his Spider-Man's friends to morph into goblin-like versions of themselves.
Not only this but Green Goblin also captured the Helicarrier. And his plan was to use the Helicarrier to release the Goblin gas over New York City. The gas, once unleashed, would transform innocent citizens into goblin-like beings, plunging the city into chaos.
And Spider-Man found himself isolated on the Helicarrier, facing his own transformed team. He was trying to stop his former allies to thwart the Green Goblin's plan.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Ben took the decision to get directly involved. Using Big Chill powers. He phased through the exterior of the Helicarrier. And then he found that many of Nick Fury's agents had transformed into Green Goblin.
"Ben, please help my friends and everyone here. Please, create some formula to make them normal," Spidey, seeing Ben, asked for his help.
"You don't need to worry. I'm here now. Just sit back and enjoy the show. I'm about to use one of my favorite transformations powers: Fourarms," Ben said, and then his body started growing bulkier as he assumed the formidable size of Fourarms.
With his strength, first Ben subdued White Tiger, by striking the head of White Tiger, successfully knocking her out.
Then he advanced towards the Iron Fist, and like White Tiger, he delivered a decisive blow that left him incapacitated.
Turning his attention to Nova, Ben swiftly dealt with Nova before engaging in a battle with the Power Man.
"So, it seems you're quite strong, but let's see how you handle Humungousaur," He shouted, and then he became bigger, and with more power. He easily defeated the Power Man, leaving him unconscious.
And soon he also knocked out the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who had succumbed to the Green Goblin's influence.
Then Ben used the Gutrut's powers, and formulated the correct chemical mixture. Dispersing this solution throughout the Helicarrier, he initiated a transformative process that successfully reverted Spider-Man's team members to their normal state.
"Now it's your turn to take action. I'm heading out, Big Chill," Ben said, and then he exited from the scene.
Following Ben's departure, Spider-Man and his team confronted the Green Goblin, who initiated the launch of gas-filled missiles. And S.H.I.E.L.D. swiftly intervened, deploying countermeasures that neutralized the gas, ensuring the missiles posed no harm to the city below.
In the aftermath, Spider-Man, accompanied by White Tiger, faced off against the Green Goblin. Osborn fought fiercely with them. But, Nova using his strongest abilities subdues Osborn.
Osborn's resistance reached its limit, and he stumbled and fell into the water below. S.H.I.E.L.D. apprehended the fallen Green Goblin, ensuring he remained trapped in his goblin form.
Back on the Tri-Carrier, the team gathered to congratulate Spider-Man for his heroic efforts in saving them from the clutches of the Green Goblin.
And they were also curious about the mysterious ally who had intervened during the crucial battle. Unaware of Ben's identity, origins, and the full extent of his powers.
