Queens, New York. 11 Years ago.

It was a lovely evening in the suburbs. The sun was shining brightly at dusk as a younger Peter Parker was seen outside sitting on the top of the house roof while he stared down into the streets of Queens. He was unaware of his father finding him on the spot.

Richard: (Sees his son on the roof) Hey there, buddy. (Joins him on the top of his house) Kind of a little high to pick a spot to sit on, don't you think?

Peter: (Looks at the street) I... I can't get down, Dad.

Richard: Oh? And why's that?

Peter: I'm afraid I'm gonna fall...

Richard: (Looks where his son is looking) Hmm, fear of heights. You must have got that from me! I am not a big fan of heights as much as you are. (Sits next to him) But, if I might ask, why come up here if you're scared?

Peter: (Bit his lip, turning to his father) I just wanted to see the city. The window in my room couldn't get a view, so I thought I could climb the roof to see it.

Richard: (Nods) Yeah, I can understand that all too well. (Looks at the Island of Manhatten) The city... It has its' troubles, but if there's one thing you can never take away, it's the beauty.

Peter: (Looks at the city) I wish I could stare at it all night long.

Richard: Really?

Peter: Hmm-hmm.

Richard: (Smiles) Alright, I'll tell you what. (Gets out a camera) I will take one picture of the city just for you. And not only will you keep it, but I'll also allow you to keep the entire camera for yourself.

Peter: Whoa! Do you mean it?

Richard: Yeah! But only if you promise to stay off the roof for now on. Knowing your mother, she'll have a heart attack if she sees you sitting up here again.

Peter: (Smiles) Hahaha!

Richard: Alright? Seriously, if you agree to the deal, you also promise to take good care of this camera?

Peter: (Nodded) I promise.

Richard: Okay... (Carried his son on his shoulder while showing him how to work with camera) So, you rotate the filter, you press this button, and then you take the shot, got it?

Peter: (Nods) Yes, Dad.

Richard: Alright, then what are you waiting for? Take your shot.

The little boy carried the camera in his hands, aiming Manhatten as he took one picture, making the camera flash its' light.

Present Day.

Dusk has dawned into the city as Spider-Man was seen inside of a room, his mask overlooking New York from above.

Narrator: (Sees Spidey looking from above) Some people think me as a threat... Others say I'm a menace... But few know who I am. Those who know that it is I, Spider-Man, am the greatest hero who ever lived-!
