But my friends call me the Iron Spider.

I'm sure you know part of it. I was bitten by a radioactive spider that got into my apartment.

The rest not a story I'm particularly proud of, but it's one that shaped me into the person I am today.

When I first discovered my powers, I didn't use them for anything noble or heroic. In fact, I used them for crimes. I was a small-time thief, taking advantage of my newfound abilities to make some quick cash. I built myself a suit that would make Stark jealous. It was a dangerous path to walk, but the thrill of it all was intoxicating. I was knocking cops off their feet. Robbing fat cats. Living like a king. I thought I was invincible.

But then, one night, I made a grave mistake. I decided to rob the wrong person, a man known as Tombstone. He was a ruthless crime lord, and little did I know that he had eyes and ears everywhere. Tombstone found out who I was, and he wasn't about to let me get away with what I had done. He decided to make an example out of me.

Tombstone didn't come after me directly, though. Instead, he sent his enforcer, Rhino, after my family. It was a horrifying experience. Rhino attacked without mercy, leaving destruction and devastation in his wake. He killed my brother, my nephew's friend, and he crippled my sister-in-law. Worst of all, he scared my young nephew, traumatizing him in a way that no child should ever have to experience. By the time I found out about it, the damage was already done.

After Rhino's brutal attack, my world was shattered. It took me a month of relentless investigation, beating cooks, and piecing together the puzzle to finally uncover the truth: it was Tombstone who orchestrated the horrifying events that befell my family.

The revelation only fueled my anger and guilt. I couldn't forgive myself for what had happened. I couldn't bear the thought of standing by and allowing my loved ones to suffer while I did nothing. I knew I had to take action, no matter the cost, to make things right.
