Spider-Man: Hero and Menace

Prologue

For the first time ever in his superhero life, Spider-Man didn't know where he was going and what he's going to do. He's been swinging in this city for half an hour now yet his mind still feels loads of questions popping up along with confusion. He knows he's in New York but certainly not his New York. It's different and the wallcrawler knows it. Everyone doesn't know of Spider-Man here and there's a lot of other Superheroes on the News doing Superhero work. Superheroes he never heard about and Superheroes that have been roaming in this city for a very long time now.

All the information he's currently got just leads him to conclude that he's in a different world and Spider-Man's only got one question; How the hell did he get here? He remember everything in his life except what happened yesterday. What did happen? He sure remembers he was chasing a group of criminals but that's just it. Everything is pitch black after that.

Spider-Man landed gracefully on the roof of a random building and slowly sat down. He gently rubs his head with frustration. All of this is giving him a really bad headache. His mind and thoughts slowly drifts off to the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson, and his beloved Aunt, May Parker. Will he even be able to see them again?

Oh, this is terrible. What should I do? Spider-Man sighed deeply, crossing his arms.

Then suddenly, his spider-sense flared and put Spider-Man on alert. He quickly scans his surroundings, his eyes then find someone running very fast and about to hit a young woman standing on the curb.

Moving and thinking fast, Spider-Man quickly shot up a web onto the young woman and pulled her out of the way. She landed horribly on the ground but at least she was alive and out of harm's way.

Spider-Man then dropped himself down and landed gracefully as always. He then turns to the superhuman runner who just kept running.

"What a reckless Superhero." Spider-Man muttered, staring at the slow fading blur of the superhuman runner.

"Hey, dude! What the hell?! What's wrong with you?!" A young male voiced behind his back.

Spider-Man turns around and sees the young man. He quickly deduces it's the young woman's boyfriend, "You didn't see it did you?"

"Oh, see what?!" The man replied angrily, crossing his arms.

"That your girl was about to get hit by someone inhumanely running extremely fast." Spider-Man explained.

"A-Train? He was here?" The man softened, looking around.

Not wanting to sound suspicious, Spider-Man said, "Yeah, he was."

Spider-Man then turns to the young woman he had saved, "Are you alright, ma'am?"

"Uhhh, no. Why the fuck did you just pull me with that webby shit you got?!" The girl shouted in anger. Spider-Man was taken aback by her outbursts.

"Um, you know what, I'm tired. I should just let your boyfriend explain here. I gotta go." Spider-Man replied but before he was about to swing away, the young man grabbed ahold of his shoulder.

"Wait!" The young man said, "Who are you? Are you a new superhero in town?"

"No one. I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." Spider-Man introduced himself before shooting a web onto a building and swings away, leaving.

"Spider-Man, huh?" The young man muttered.

"So, Hughie, care to explain." The girl spoke up.

The young man now known as Hughie looked back to his girlfriend, "Oh well, how do I put this? A-Train was about to hit you while running superly fast."

"What?! Why?!" The young woman asked.

"I don't know, he probably just didn't see you I guess." Hughie answered, "Let's just go, Robin."

The young woman now known as Robin quickly held Hughie's hand and they all begin to slowly walk away, moving onto their lives.

Spider-Man wanna stop thinking at this moment. All this thinking and for what? It wouldn't get him home anyway. He may be a genius but it doesn't take a genius to know that he's at a dead end. The Multiverse, it's a concept he knows very little about. Heck he didn't even that it was even possible. And now he's in another universe different from his own. What should Spider-Man do?

Spider-Man sighed deeply, looking down and seeing the city's citizens walking down the street, living their daily lives, "What should I do, Uncle Ben?"

Then all of a sudden, his spider-sense flared once more, Spider-Man quickly noticed a bank robbery is happening nearby.

Without hesitation, Spider-Man leaped forward and started swinging. Seeing that they had no hostages, Spider-Man quickly moves to try to web them up. The bank robbers, four of them, all quickly sees a man in a red and blue spandex swinging towards them.

Before they could even raise their guns, Spider-Man suddenly shot multiple web strings onto their weapons and pulled it away. Spider-Man then landed a ground on his feet and started webbing up all of them before they could even try anything, slowly turning them into cocoons.

"Easy peasy lemon squeezy." Spider-Man quipped, crossing his arms. He had now found out what he should do for now, introduce this world to Spider-Man.

Madelyn Stillwell is confused at the moment. Right now, she's seeing an unlicensed superhero she never knew about stopped a bank robbery here in New York on TV. On Live News.

"So who are you? A new superhero?" One of the reporters asked.

"Who am I? I'm Spider-Man, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." Spider-Man answered calmly.

"Spider-Man, huh?" Madelyn raised a brow in amusement, scoffing. She takes a glass of wine and sips.

"Why are you doing this? Is it for fame? Is it to gain audition from Vought?" Another reporter questioned.

"What?" Spider-Man tilted his head in confusion, " Um no. None of that. I'm doing this because a great man once told me that with great powers come great responsibility."

"You have a way with words there, Spidey." Madelyn smirked, rolling her eyes in mockery.

"Anyways, I gotta go, guys. Catch ya later." Spider-Man saluted the reporters before shooting a web and swinging away.

"Interesting." Madelyn sips, she picks up and called one of her people, "Ashley. Can you please send Black Noir and Queen Maeve into my office? I have a mission for them."
