Late one afternoon in Queens, New York a brown haired man was grunting while driving through the streets. The radio was on and it was playing a news station:
"Earlier today, a terrorist attack on Washington, DC by the group who call themselves Zodiac was thwarted by the Government sponsored superhuman task force known as the Ultimates. The Ultimates got civilians out to saftey with minimal casualties and the Zodiac operatives were arrested..."
Annoyed, the man then turned off the Radio to focus on his driving, "Anytime the Ultimates do anything, it's automatically headline news..." the man known as Otto Octavius muttered to himself as he drove into a warehouse district. He got out of his car and then opened up a locked warehouse.
He then clicked on the lights to reveal a makeshift lab. There were electronic devices, test tables and glass cages filled with test creatures. In the centre was a generator like device with several blinking lights. He went to a row of several little droids which each had eight little octopus like arms.
He then picked up a remote control and spoke into it "Octobots, activate security protocol." Suddenly the robots went to life and began patrolling the lab to search for any unauthorised intruders. He then heard his phone ringing and then answered it with an annoyed grunt.
"Hello Octavius, you know who this must be... .Don't you?" asked a business like voice and Octavius shook his head. The voice on the other end was Franklin Nelson the lawyer of the individual who had been funding his experiments as of late.
"Mr Nelson, I assure you that my energy generator is almost complete. I just need to finish one last test and it will be ready for your employer." Octavius told Nelson on the phone, wanting to end the call as soon as possible. "I assure you that your employer will get his money's worth. The medical benefits of the creature experiments and the power of this generator will make your employer a fortune!" Octavius told Nelson on the other end of the phone.
Nelson had come to Octavius after he had fallen on hard times and told him that he represented someone who wanted to give Octavius the funds to continue his experiments. Nelson always refused to say who he was working for but as long as he could finally get his experiments done, Octavius didn't care where the money came from.
"For your sake Octavius I sure hope so, otherwise my employer will make his displeasure known..." Nelson replied before ending the call.
Octavius then went to a changing area to get into the saftey get up for his experiment. Once this works he will be known as the next Albert Einstein.

Outside the Warehouse District, there was a large strong blonde haired twenty one year old man in a black shirt and jacket waiting impatiently for his compatriots to arrive. "Come on guys, what's taking you all..." the man muttered to himself watching out for any police officers or anyone who could bust his operation. He couldn't afford to get caught in this.
The man was Fred Thompson or 'Flash' as he was nicknamed, a man who had been a top quarterback star in Midtown High. He had been a top quarterback star at the school and used his position to get away with bullying other weaker students. This had continued until a certain incident. He and his five friends before a big football game against the rival team at Forest Hill High School, pulled a big prank against the visiting students and faculty that went horribly wrong.
Several students and faculty members were hospitalised, there were no excuses this time as it was the last straw and the six of them had gotten expelled. Now he was meeting with his five friends. For a big task. "Glad, you guys have finally shown up." Flash smirked as he saw his five friends showing up.
The largest boy was an overweight blonde haired man in jeans and a white shirt. The man was Carl King who was the most happily violent out of them.
There was another blonde haired man almost as bit as Flash and he looked the most displeased to be there. He was Brian McKeever who had grown the most distant to Flash since they had gotten expelled.
One was a thin black haired man in a green shirt. He was Jason Iontello and was the more pranking type than physical alterations.
One was a man with glasses and a dark green jacket, he had only gotten close to Flash doing his homework for him and helping him out for the benefits of being in a popular crowd. He was Seymour O'Reily and only stated with the group due to not having much other options.
Finally there was a black haired man with glasses and a blue jacket. He was Charlie Murphy and was there with the group for the perks just like Seymour.
"Welcome back my Sinister Six!" Flash greeted them using the name of the gang they had formed after being expelled. They had one or two run ins with the law since then and have perform community service. "I know things, have been rough but I think we can pull off the heist of our lives here! I got word this science guy was using one of these warehouses as a lab. We sneak in and steal some stuff to sell, so what do you say?" Flash asked as he saw glares from most of them.
"Look, I am sorry things have been hard for us but trust me and we can make this work. Tell you what, if you do not want to go through then you can walk away. but stick with me and things will get bright as they say that things will get worse before they get better. We have been through the worst so let's go through the better." Flash told them with a smile giving the best attempt at an inspiration speech as he could.
Brian was the first to leave and flipped Flash the bird as he did, then came Seymour and Jason. Charlie looked hesitant and shook his head before finally leaving. Flash's face fell when he was left with only Carl as she then out at them "fine, who needs you all anyway! Me and Carl are going places, they will call us the Sinister Syndicate..."
Flash then motioned Carl to quietly follow him as they sneaked through the warehouse district. Flash stopped at one and told Carl to help him quietly open the window. They done so but Flash whispered to him "the guy in there has a bunch of robots on guard so we need to make sure not to get noticed by them..."
They then sneaked through the windows and were amazed by all the devices there that must have costed a fortune, so the stuff they end up taking will make them a fortune when they sell it. Flash and Carl then stood up on some tables to hide from some approaching Octo-Bots.
They then went walked off when they saw that none were nearby at the moment. They started taking boxes of stuff which all had twin sets of black suits with full face masks and visors for the eyes. They then quickly started filling the boxes with whatever they could fill with it. They then heard something and behind some glass cages for insect test subjects.
Thinking to blend in Flash decided to try and put on one of the suits. He was surprised when it instantly fitted on him despite it seeming like it was too big for him. "So this is one size fits all... that guy sure made some cool junk..." Flash thought in awe as Carl was examining the cages and getting some dumb ideas in the process.
They then saw Octavius come out of his changing area in a dark green bodysuit and a labcoat. He then clicked on a button on a panel which revealed a harness and connected to the back of it were large robotic arms with three claws on each hand.
"How is this guy not a trillionaire already? If only there were more I could steal..." Flash thought in awe as Octavius on the panel started activating his machine. He then turned off the saftey key of his generator as he was turning on his generator.
Then the Octobots was attracted by the sound of Carl breaking open the cage of spiders which had numbers on them. Then activated an alarm as Carl picked up the one marked '42'.
Flash then panicked as he looked to Carl who told him "Flash, watch me eat this!" Flash was now screaming in his head wondering why the only one who stuck with him did it have to be this idiot.
"Who is there!" Octavius shouted running after Carl and Flash then began smashing the Octobots with a nearby jackhammer in a hurry. The sight of his spider cage broken into with two possible thieves mocking him by trying to steal his inventions and actually wearing one made his blood boil. "What are you two hooligans doing in my lab and smashing my stuff! That's my Octo-Suit you're wearing!" Octavius snarled running after them only for everyone to jump at an emergency alarm.
"MY GENERATOR...NOOO! Octobots go after the intruders..." Octavius shouted to his Octobots while running towards the panel to try and turn it off. The spider that Carl was holding was dropped and Flash fell down dropping his box.
Carl then helped Flash up as the spider was hit by electricity from the cut wire of an Octobot that Flash smashed. It then went into the box Flash picked up wanting to salvage something. Carl and Flash then got out of the window to hide from the Octobots as Octavius desperately tried to stop his generator.
Flash then quickly took off his suit to stop himself from getting sweaty and picked up the box again as they began running away. they then stopped when they heard an explosion and looked on in shock as the warehouse was now on fire.
Flash then panicked and whispered to Carl "Carl listen, we have to get rid of this stuff. The police are going to be over this and if they find any evidence we were involved then we're done for!" Carl looked disappointed but relented as Flash took the box and then threw it right at the trash can of a nearby house. They then started smashing it with their feet so no one would know what it was.
Hopefully without evidence and if that scientist guy got killed in that fire, then they won't be linked to the explosion. With their record, it would be all over for the both of them.
As they left the door of the house opened and then out came a pudgy thirteen year Korean American old boy wearing jeans and a yellow Frog Man shirt looking around. He looked around wanting to see where the explosion was but was disappointed when he saw it was too far for him to get a close look. He noticed the smashed box and saw the suit inside.
Thinking it looked cool enough, the boy who was known as Ganke Lee, took it while getting back inside before his parents could see him out there. He walked to his room which was decorated with shelves of lego sets. There on a chair was an African American thirteen year old boy wearing a red shirt and brown jeans.
"So did you see where the explosion was?" asked the boy, Ganke's best friend Miles Morales rolling his eyes while focused on the textbook he was reading.
"No, it was too far away. Thought it would be a good chance to get to see the Ultimates with my two eyes if they were involved..." Ganke Muttered as Miles sighed.
"My dad says people like the Ultimates bring nothing but trouble and it's best to stay away from stuff like that... what is that?" Miles asked getting up and looking at the suit.
"Pretty cool, seems like someone through it at my trashcan. I think we can make something of it." Ganke told him with a smile bringing it to Miles to get a closer look. The spider was inside, managing to avoid getting crushed went out of the suit and started crawling up Miles's arm without him knowing.
"You found it at your trashcan? You don't know where it's been and can you please get that away from me." Miles demanded as Ganke relented disappointed. He then put it in his drawer as Miles yelled as the spider bit him on the arm.
"Are you alright Miles? I will go get my mum!" Ganke told him urgently going down stairs and the spider got off and scurried away before it died. Soon Ganke's parents checked over his bite and then used an infection spray before calling his parents to get him home.
Miles began feeling a bit funny and hoped he would be better soon...
Okay this is an AU Miles origin story but in one where Peter didn't become Spider-Man. Think of this in the multiverse of my Marvel's Spider-Man story. They are not in the same universe but I plan to cross them over later in that story in a Spider-Men type story (inter dimensional travel). This universe will be based on the Ultimate and Spider-Gwen comics.
