The Story of Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Conflict with Mysterio: Duel with Mysterio

Atop Tower Bridge's upper walkway, Spider-Man had Mysterio captured until Mysterio called on E.D.I.T.H. to summon drones to attack Spider-Man. As he narrowly dodged the drones, Spider-Man ended up at the opposite end of the walkway from Mysterio. Taunting the young hero to take the glasses from him, Mysterio activated illusion projectors to create a void of darkness. To counter, Spider-Man calmed himself and closed his eyes, having chosen to rely on his "Peter Tingle" to navigate.

Spider-Man charged into the walkway blind, fully cognizant of the drones hidden by cloaking, and proceeded to destroy them which ended the darkness illusion. Spider-Man closed the distance between him and Mysterio, but in raging desperation, Mysterio commanded E.D.I.T.H. to order his orbiting defense drones to fire on Spider-Man. This tactic failed, as the young hero used one drone as a shield to break another drone, and the second to last drone to fall misfired and hit Mysterio in the abdomen, bring him to the floor.

Once Spider-Man destroyed the last drone in the walkway, he stood over Mysterio and heard his motivations as he spoke of how he was worthy. But as Mysterio gestured the glasses to Spider-Man, his "Peter Tingle" warned him of the real Mysterio cloaked beside him with a gun to his head, and countered immediately. Mysterio's shot missed Spider-Man's head and only broke the window adjacent to him. As Mysterio dropped to the floor from his injuries, Spider-Man took the glasses off his head to force a recall command execution. Upon the exodus of the drone fleet, Mysterio gasped his last words to Spider-Man of how everyone will believe anything out of choice.

With Mysterio seemingly dead, Spider-Man asked to confirm if Mysterio's death was an illusion, with E.D.I.T.H. confirming there were no illusions in play, seemingly convincing Spider-Man that Mysterio was dead. With the crisis averted, Spider-Man then exited Tower Bridge, where Michelle Jones hugged him. A sad Spider-Man explained his whole plan to romance her on the trip, but the two teenagers kissed and agreed a date.
