In a universe where Gwen got the Omnitrix instead of Ben, our young hero strives to come out of his cousin's shadow. Until one day... He discovers that he possesses a Meta Gene! With this discovery, Ben becomes the hero that Bellwood truly needs. Watch out, true believers... Spiderman is back with a vengeance!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10, or Marvel Spiderman! But if I did, Ben and Peter would've been appreciated more as heroes.

The Meta Gene Awakens!


In the town of Bellwood, we find a family sitting by the bedside of a teenage boy. He seemed to have gotten very sick very quickly, and they were very worried.

The boy in question looked to be about fifteen, with well combed brown hair that was tousled slightly, green eyes that seemed to be bloodshot from the sickness, and his skin seemed to be paler than normal. The covers were currently up to his neck, and he was shivering something fierce.

This is Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, and there was definitely something seriously wrong with him at this time. He's the king of kid who almost never gets sick, and yet here he is stuck in bed with some unknown illness!

Sitting next to his bedside was Ben's mother, Sandra Tennyson. She was trying to comfort her son in his time of need, and seemed to know what was happening to Ben. It was a long dormant gene that had been watered down in her side of the family over the years. It also explained why Ben had never unlocked the DNA from her husband's side of the family.

You see, Sandra is the descendant of a great hero from long ago. A man known as Peter Parker; A.K.A, the Amazing Spiderman. He was a hero that was bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him all of the powers and abilities of a spider. All except the ability to shoot web. He did that himself.

Spiderman made web fluid that was meant to be loaded into a pair of web shooters. The triggers for these shooters were located behind the palm of Peter's hands. They were placed there to prevent them from going off whenever he punched, or grabbed something.

Over the years, these powers became a powerful Meta Gene that was passed down from parent to child until it watered down to the point that it wouldn't activate anymore. But it would seem that these powers were now finally activating again. In Ben! But the activation process was causing the poor lad to undergo extreme amounts of physical pain.

Ben gritted his teeth, and weakly opened his eyes. He looked at his mom, and a flash of fear was evident in his eyes.

"Mom... It hurts...!" Ben groaned weakly.

Sandra gently took her son's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, just like she used to do whenever he had nightmares as a little kid. She knew that the awakening of this particular gene would not be pleasant, and just tried to comfort her son in his time of need.

"I know, Ben. I know. But don't worry, it'll stop soon." Sandra told her son before thinking "I hope..."


Okay guys, this is going to be the last story I post for the next two months. Next I plan to update an old story of mine called Naruto: Kaijuu King. Anyways, please review, and know that all flamers will be destroyed by Spiderman's greatest enemies!
