Morality, ha! You know, we don’t all have the luxury of morals. Have I told you my origin story?
SMSpider-Man
Like a billion times, now. How about telling me the truth?
You can’t handle the truth.
Fine. So once there was a kid, a weird, special kid. And his life was a toilet. Maybe somebody treated him badly. Maybe he got hurt by bad people. So maybe Fury’s hero-school was the boost he needed. And for a while the kid bought what Fury was selling. Until he realized it was more fun to laugh at the pain. To hurt those who hurt you, times a thousand. Forget it! You wouldn’t understand.
SMSpider-Man
Actually I do. If things had gone a little bit differently, I could have been just like Deadpool.
Okay, so I’m gonna call this one, Bugs. You beat me fair and square, making me feel emotions and stuff. So I’m gonna go home and cry myself to sleep on my bed made of money.
SMSpider-Man
Hang on. You’re coming back to S.H.I.E.L.D. too. You have to face Fury.
“You have to face Fury.” [laughs] You’re hilarious. Smell ya’ later, sucker. Bye, Spider-Man. Ouch, my butt’s burning!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(stares at 2099 Spider-Man in disbelief) Whoa, awesome! You're Spider-Man, but you're... Who are you? Are you me? And what's up with the costume? Is that a metallic fiber?
2S2099 Spider-Man
(grabs Spider-Man of Earth-12041's hand and throws him to a wall) So what's it this time? Another android or clone impostor?!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Android? Clone? Eww. (he gets up) And I'm not an impostor, I'm the real th--- (his mouth gets webbed shut)
2S2099 Spider-Man
I'm about to quit this gig, so congratulations(!) You get to be one of my last catchers. (he turns to go)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(removes web from his mouth) Wait!! You have to listen to me! You're in danger! (he shoots a web at 2099 Spider-Man's back. 2099 Spider-Man stops walking, turns around, pulls the web and punches our Spider-Man in the face.) Great! Now I'M in danger(!)
NSNoir Spider-Man
(after Spider-Man of Earth-12041 saves him) I dunno know how you pulled that off, but... (he looks at Spider-Man of Earth-12041's costume)... why're you dressed like that? What're you? Some kinda circus clown(?)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
My pal, Nova, might say "yes", but I'm here to help you stop that maniac. He's an enemy of mine called the Goblin.
NSNoir Spider-Man
(rudely) I work alone. (he swings away)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(annoyed) Nice to meet you, too, sunshine!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
That's all, Gobin!
NO! I'VE COME SO FAR! I HAVE TO WIN!
SHSpider-Ham
(grabs Goblin and picks him up) Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin. (reference to The Three Little Pigs. Goblin smirks and picks Spider-Ham's hair) OUCH! MY CHINNY-CHIN-CHIN!
That'll do, pig, that'll do.
SKSpider-Knight
(OS) Have at thee! (swings down and lands on the ground)
MCMedieval Citizen #1
It's the dreaded Spider!
SKSpider-Knight
Back, lest I be forced to hurt thee! (draws a sword out of his arm)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(to the camera) How do I know he's this world's Spider-Man? Duh! Because the people don't like him. (breaks free as Spider Knight scares the mob away)
SKSpider-Knight
By Merlin! Either thou art training to be my squire or thou art the town fool!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
You're the Spider-Man of this world. I'm you from another universe!
SKSpider-Knight
Town fool it is. (mob throws pitchforks at the two Web-heads. they jump free. another medieval citizen tries to impale our Spider-Man)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Watch the pitchfork, stabby! (webs him and starts to web the rest of the advanced mob away)
SKSpider-Knight
Town fool! Come hence if thou value your life!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
I DO value my life. (springs on top of the roofs of the shacks) The name's not fool! The name's Spider-Man and you're in danger!
SKSpider-Knight
Spider-Man? 'Tis a worst name than fool.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(after Black Spidey regains consciousness) You OK?
BSBlack Spider-Man
Ow! I must've hit my head pretty hard, because you look like Peter Parker.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
You know my secret identity? (takes off his mask) Oh, of course you do. You're Peter Parker, too. Don't freak out; I'm you.
BSBlack Spider-Man
(jumps back) Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm NOT you! You're de...! Which makes me dea...! No way, if neither of us could be dea...! That's impossible! Peter Parker, so you're NOT dead!?
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(confused) I'm not what now?
BSBlack Spider-Man
Okay. Don't. Freak. Out. (takes off his mask, revealing to be a young African-American boy)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
HUH?!
BSBlack Spider-Man
My name is Miles Morales and I'M... Spider-Man. We're not ghosts, right? Cos if I'm dead, my mom and dad are gonna kill me!
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
You're Spider-Man?! But you're... so young.
BSBlack Spider-Man
Whatcha gonna do, Card me? I'm 13, almost 14! (silently) In 11 months.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Sorry. I just didn't expect such a young Spider-Man. Listen: This is complicated and not gonna make a lot of sense, but I'm from a parallel world.
BSBlack Spider-Man
Makes total sense. So you chased the Goblin from YOUR world to THIS one and since he's Goblin, he's probably after my DNA.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Exactly. You're pretty good, Spidey. When you saw me, why did you think we were ghosts?
BSBlack Spider-Man
You're not kidding? Because this isn't a (pretend laugh) kinda topic. You REALLY don't know what happened to Peter Parker? I mean, you? (Black Spider-Man takes our Spidey to a graveyard, where a tombstone reads "HERE LIES PETER PARKER" on it)
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Peter Parker... is gone? Whoa.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
No, you don't understand. I mean, "Whoa!"
BSBlack Spider-Man
Peter Parker saved the world. I was there! He sacrificed himself and saved us all. (respectfully touches the tombstone) If I'd just gotten my powers, maybe I could've saved him. But I was scared. I didn't do a thing and I'll regret that for the rest of my life.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
Come on. You can't think like that. You're 12.
BSBlack Spider-Man
13! I can ride my bike to the store alone.
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
(gracefully) If you'd jumped in, maybe you wouldn't be here either.
BSBlack Spider-Man
(turns away and walks solemnly) But when I got the powers of Spider-Man, with them came this great sense of responsibility and I don't know if I can do it. What if I just don't have it in me to be a hero like Pe...(stops walking and corrects himself) ..like you?
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
There's nothing wrong with being scared. Fear's okay. I feel fear all the time, but the trick to it is to....(stops in mid-sentence as the two Spidey's spider senses go off)
BSBlack Spider-Man
Do you sense that?
SMSpider-Man of Earth-12041
MOVE!
SMSpider-Man
There's the DNA he stole from the other Spideys, but where's Goblin? (Goblin walks in)
We've only been gone a short while, yet it feels like a lifetime. Don't you agree, Electro? (he is still in the Siege Perilous)
EElectro
You had what you want, Goblin, now let me out!
I'll consider it AFTER I've gotten the serum. Now be a good slave and start the machine. (Goblin walks into the pod as the machine begins to power up)
SMSpider-Man
(grabbing a cable) This is me messing up Goblin's evil machine of evil. (disconnects all the cables) Say, this is kinda fun.
Spider-Man?! STOP! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE.... (he screams as the machine explodes, sending Spidey flying backwards)
SMSpider-Man
Aw, figures. (recovers from the wreckage) Everything fun always ends with something exploding.
Too late, Spider-Man! (Goblin fizzes with power) Or should I say Peter Parker?
Yes, Peter. I know it's you.
SMSpider-Man
Peter Parker? Uh, who's that?
I went to other worlds to bring back Spider-Man DNA. And along the way, I brought back Spider-Man's identity. It surprised me at first. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. It was obvious. You and my son. Always there. Always in my way! (Roars and charges at Spider-Man, who dodges)
SMSpider-Man
So you figured out my identity. Congrats. But I've handled everything you've ever thrown at me, Gobby. I can handle this, too.
You gotta get back into the simulation so our techs can bring you outta your induced coma safely.
SMSpider-Man
So you're saying I'm asleep and this is all a dream?
I could order you into the tube, but that would defeat the point of the test. So I'm asking you as my boss, as your mentor and, yes, as your friend.
SMSpider-Man
Hard to argue with that. (he slowly proceed into the the tube, but stops half way, narrowing his eyes, confused) Wait! "As my friend?" (he turns to "Fury") Nick Fury would never say that. (he shrieks and widens his eyes as "Fury" attempts to force him into the tube) And how did I not notice your eye patch is on the wrong eye? (he blinds the impostor and flips over him)
(ripping the webbing off his face) ARRRRGGGH!!!
SMSpider-Man
(Spider-Man fires his tasers webs, swings the fake Fury and electrocutes him) Sorry about this, "Nick"! (the impostor begins to dissolve into a puddle of goop) No way! Nick Fury, a Synthezoid?!!
SMSpider-Man
(Spider-Man gets knee-kicked to the floor as Scarlet Spider restrains him by the arm. Spidey gapes in shock.) BEN?! What?!
SSScarlet Spider
Come on, punk. You're a smart guy. Can't you figure out you've been stabbed in the back? (unsheathes a stinger)
SMSpider-Man
Rhino wasn't the spy? You were?
SSScarlet Spider
Huh. The genius finally gets it.
We were never going to be the new Sinister Six. No, we were going to be more - the Sinister Seven.
SMSpider-Man
(Scarlet retracts his stinger and pulls Spidey to his knees clutching his mask.) No! I don't believe it! Ben, We're friends!
SSScarlet Spider
I told you when we first met, I don't have friends! Saving you from drowning, my sob story, pretending to join your rag-tag team...
And now for the coup-de-grace. Scarlet, please divulge to me Spider-Man's greatest secret... his true identity.
SMSpider-Man
I KNOW YOU, BEN! I KNOW YOU WON'T DO THA--
SSScarlet Spider
(Scarlet rips the mask off Spider-Man's face. Doc Ock stares in disbelief. Peter bows his head to the floor.) His name is Peter Parker.
Ahh. Nice to finally meet you, Peter Parker.
(Peter tearfully yells to the ceiling at Scarlet's treason) NOOOOOOOOO!
