ASD. Autism Spectrum Disorder was its full phrase. The young boy was first diagnosed at the age of 7 when he came up with designs for a wing-suit and was therefore deemed a prodigy child. All the special schools he went to, even through Empire State University, he was often teased or pushed around because of his brilliant mind, and wearing hand-me-down clothes. Even being made fun of wearing glasses caused him to wear contact lenses, but that didn't stop the bullying until he graduated with high marks at the age of 10 and hired by Norman Osborn on the spot.

6 Years Later

Working at OsCorp changed the boy dramatically. Now 16, he made friends with some of the scientists, even started a relationship with the daughter of one of the scientists. One day, he decided to use his childhood plans to design a wing-suit that would assist parachuters, whose parachutes fail to deploy. While successful in the first two tests, the third resulted in the jumper being paralysed. On the morning, he was told to get rid of it, the young teen complied. "Okay, get this thing out of here." He said to two technicians as they were carting it out.

As they walk down the hallway to the scrap disposal room, he was shocked to see someone coming up to him. "Zane, my boy." He said.

"Grandfather. What are you doing here?"

"I thought I might see how my dearest grandson is doing." He then noticed the wing-suit. "Say, is that the wing-suit you've just designed?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, the whole thing is heading to the scrapyard. It was a failure."

"Why don't you let your dear old grandfather handle it?"

"Sorry, but I am not permitted to give it to you, you'll understand."

"Of course. I'll see you later." He soon walked away as Zane watched his grandfather leave, almost suspicious about what he is planning.

(A/N: As you saw in this prologue chapter, Zane Julien is a human named Zane Toomes, grandson of a certain Spider-Man villain. He has ASD and is a child prodigy, which is why he works at OsCorp at only 16. You can also guess who he is dating. If you think I should've approached it differently, don't be shy to comment)
