Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. - Albert Einstein
So now you're wondering, who am I exactly? Well, I suppose you can say I'm not just an average everyday guy. My name is Ken King, and I should tell you my story. Seven months ago, I went to a field trip with my friends, Micheal Hayor, my now girlfriend, Elise Jordan; daughter of police chief John Jordan, and Felicia Hardy. But on the same day, a radioactive spider bit me and gave me the powers of what a spider can.
So with the new powers I got, I used them to get money for my parents at a WWE wrestling match... But the guy behind it cheated me and was later robbed by a guy named Lucas Wilson, and I just let him go... big mistake. Because of it, my father, George got killed by Lucas, and I was about to use those powers to kill him, but couldn't because before my father died, he told me "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility" and I decided to use those powers to help, and became The Magnificent Spider-man that day forth.
However, it wasn't long until Lucas himself got powers himself and tried to take over Neon City and kill me along everybody else by getting the city's power source, The Power Core. I stopped him in time before he could kill my friends and family. Ever since then, the people here LOVE me, and my girlfriend, her father, and mom approve of who I am, and my life is amazing now... but I know, somewhere and somehow, something is coming... and it'll be stronger than Lucas ever will...

"Ok, listen up!" A man wearing ski-mask yelled while he and his group were holding guns. "I want everybody to do EXACTLY as these guys say, or you WILL be shot!" He went to the front desk and put a bag on it as the manager starts to put the money in, while at the same time, a man wearing a blue spandex suit with red forearms, boots, gloves, utility belt, midsection, scarf and mask, for it had white eye lenses with a black outline, and all around the red had silver web patterns, a black spider symbol on the chest and a red spider symbol on his back with the front legs going up to the scarf, while the bottom ones went toward the belt, lowered himself down onto a string of web as he looked around, completely unnoticed, until he coughed on purpose, catching their attention.
"Excuse me, is this the 'Criminal Butt Kicking' institution?" The masked man asked as the robbers pointed their guns at him. "I guess that's a yes!" He jumped away as they began to shoot at him.
He ran on one of the walls as he grabbed one of the poles and jumped to it as he span around quickly until he let go and jetted toward them while shooting balls of webbing at their guns, disabling them as he zipped toward them and punched each and everyone of them, knocking them out and webbing them to the wall, except for one as he grabbed a knife and tried to stab the masked man, until he was webbed and kicked in the face, knocking them out.
"...Yep! I guess I was!" He said as he saw police men coming into the bank and started to arrest the burglars.
"Thanks for the help Spider-Man! Couldn't do it without you." A police woman said as Spider-Man nodded.
"No problem, just doing what I do best!" Spider-Man said as he ran out of the bank and swung away, while the citizens cheered for him, and headed for the Neon City High School.
Neon City - High School - Time: 10:42 AM
Spider-Man landed on top of the building as he took off his mask, revealing to be Ken King, a now eighteen year old teenager with reddish-brown, blue eyes, and black glasses, and put on his casual clothes as he landed near the door, knowing nobody was seeing, nor saw what he did. He walked through the door, seeing students talking to each other happily, and made his way to one of his classes, photography, and saw four people standing near the door. One of them, Micheal Hayor, a seventeen year old with black hair and brown eyes, Ken's girlfriend; Elise Jordan, who's the same age as Ken and had blonde hair and blue eyes, Felicia Hardy, a seventeen year old with blonde hair and purple eyes, and finally, Ken's mother; April for she had brown hair and blue eyes.
"Glad you made it dude! Thought you wouldn't!" Micheal said as Ken nodded.
"Yep! Took me awhile, but I made it!" Ken said as April hugged him.
"It's amazing, that my son is just a step closer to becoming a full adult." She said as she let go, with Elise taking her place.
"A responsible one at that." She said as the couple snuggled a bit, actually making Felicia jealous a bit, for she has a crush on Ken for the longest of time even after him and Elise getting together.
"Yeah, you're right on that." Felicia said in monotone, to which nobody noticed.
"With all that happened last year, it was bound to happen." Ken said as he rubbed his head and looked at the door to his classroom. "If it's ok, I'd like to see my teacher."
"Of course dear, take all the time you need." April said as she and the others walked away, leaving Ken to open the door, to see both his teacher and Nick, a teen who is around Ken's age and has black hair and green eyes, as they both looked at him.
"Oh hey Ken!" Nick said happily as he walked to Ken. "What brings you over here?"
"Just thought I'd say goodbye to his class is all, you know." Ken said as his teacher offered a handshake, to which he accepted.
"It was nice having you in my class, Ken King. You were my top student alongside Nickolas." His teacher said as Ken and Nick nodded and they walked off.
"So, what will you do? Become a full pledged slacker now?" Nick joked as Ken looked at him. "Just kidding."
"I'll just... you know, 'hang' around The Daily Bugle, get paid, and I guess do what I love." Ken said as Nick nodded.
"Sounds good. See you at work then?" Nick asked as Ken nodded.
"Definitely." Ken said as the two went their separate ways.
Time: 11:34 AM
Ken left the bathroom while he dressed up in a just blue suit as he looked at it more.
"Looks nice... but could use a bit more red." He said to himself jokingly, referring to his Spider-Man suit, as he sat down near Elise in the Gym, in which held the award ceremony while they sat through a part of it.
"Next up is... Ken King, for his perfect performance in art and photography!" The principle said as Ken walked up to the stands while people clapped for him and April taking pictures.
"That's my son!" April yelled as Ken rubbed his head while taking the certificate as he walked back to his seat.
"Next is... Felicia Hardy, for all A's in her classes!" The principle said as Felicia walked up to the stands as well while she got a large applause and got her certificate. "I thank you all for all of your hard work everybody! Let's hope your next, and last year will be the best one!" Once he said that, the students cheered loudly.
"About time!" Micheal said as he and the others gathered around. "I was REALLY getting tired of wearing this dang tie!"
"Tell me about it." Ken said as he and Micheal took off their ties while April looked at Ken happily.
"I'm so proud of you for all the hard work you put onto everything." She said as Ken rubbed his head a bit.
"Yeah, I am too." Ken said as Elise hugged him around the neck while Felicia stared for a bit until her butler and driver, Gregory, a middle aged man with white hair, tapped her shoulder.
"Mrs. Hardy, I believe we should get going. We have an interview tonight." Gregory said as Felicia nodded.
"That's right..." Felicia said a bit sadly as she looked at Ken. "I should get going. I'll see you guys soon." She walked away alongside Gregory while they watched.
"Man, now everybody's now busy, even more than you Ken." Micheal said as Ken shook his head.
"Yeah, and SHE has to dress up like some sort of super hero." Ken said as April looked at him.
"..She seems to have a crush on you Ken, I'm noticed signs of it for the past months now." She said as Ken looked at her.
"You think so?" He asked as he looked at where Felicia went. "Then she has to know I'm with Elise, and her alone." He looked at Elise as the couple smiled at each other.
"You often remind me of your father Ken, you're becoming more and more like him everyday." April said happily as her smiled faded away while looking down. "I miss him..."
"I miss dad too..." Ken said as he and April hugged tightly as they thought about George King, husband, father, and amazing man in both of their lives.
