If you have been a fan for a while, I am sorry that it seems I am more insistent on rebooting Spider-Man than Sony actually is. I may go back to the other one some other time as an alternative but I have decided to do my version of the current Marvel's Spider-Man cartoon, fixing some problems I have with it including repeating the mistakes of Ultimate Spider-Man of him teaming up with other heroes too early (I want to build up to them myself) and them deciding to give Spidey his own team again (seriously having Peter and Miles as both Spider-Men or whatever they give Miles in the cartoon now, at the same time as Peter's early days doesn't seem right to me).

The prequel shorts happened as they are but Peter is using the MCU homemade suit as I really don't like the version from teh cartoon. I would be okay in the suit without the spider logo if the mask didn't have the mouth hole as it distracts too much for me.

"An assassination attempt on President Stan Kirby was foiled today by leader of the Avengers, Captain America. The suspect has been apprehended and identified as international terrorist Karl Morgenthau. Morgenthau has several arrest warrants issued around the world..."

"It seems that Mayor Randolph Cherryh may have some steep competition in the New York Mayoral Election. Recent opinion polls suggests that Mayor Cherryh'' opponent, Wall Street investor Leland Owlsley has a clear lead..."

"It seemed that the Asgardian Avenger known as Thro was spotted in Norway fighting what appeared to be a giant wolf that was terrorizing the citizens..."

"Noted neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange was involve car accident late one night. Dr Strange had been rushed to surgery and doctors have said that they hope he will make a recovery..."

On Queens, New York and on top of a building one Saturday morning was a small lean boy in a red full face mask, goggles, red and blue hooded sweat clothes with a black spider stitched on them, electronic gauntlets on his hands, red boots, red fingerless gloves. He sighed as he knew what he had to do.

He was Peter Parker a fifteen year old science prodigy who had gained enhanced senses, speed and strength thanks to a spider bite during a school field trip to Oscorp.

Two weeks since he had gotten these powers and now he finally knew what to do with them. His Uncle Ben had told him recently that with great power comes great responsibility and now he knew how true that was. His Uncle had written it down as an equation which he saved as a photo on his phone. He glanced at it before pocketing it.

This was the first step.

He then looked at his devices on his wrists, 'web-shooters' he called them and he had managed to put them together using spare parts from old computers and other broken down devices he had found. He then focused himself on the surroundings around him; this was what the goggles were for as it helped him with his enhanced senses.

Taking a leap of faith quite literally he jumped down and immediately began thinking this was a bad idea. He was screaming while trying to throw his hand out and press his web-shooters only barely managing to stick out a web to stick to another building and allow him to turn around.

"Looks like I'm web-slinging now!" he said to himself quite happily thinking he can get the hang of it soon, he then began turning direction to see where that would take him. It was the Manhattan area and he was hoping to find somewhere to help out.

He then noticed an out of control car coming to where he was, "This is do or die time Pete!" he thought to himself as he managed to let go of his web and jumped down. He was happy that he had managed to make a safe landing like that.

He saw the car coming this way so he decided to try and use both of his web-shooters to create a big web between a lamppost and a mail bin. He was surprised that it worked and covered his eyes when he saw the car coming. He uncovered them again and had a look of triumph to see that the web actually managed to stop the car.

"What the hell was that man?" asked a woman angrily to the driver as he quickly got out. The driver then began saying that it was just that his brakes broke and he lost control. He looked around and saw people were taking photos.

"You can call me Spider-Man." Peter told them as he then web slinged away. He then went up to a building and sat down next to a gargoyle statue. "I can consider that a win, I stopped an out of control car from hurting anyone!" Peter said before hearing his phone go off.

He went to it and saw it was an email alert, his heart stopped when he saw what it was. "HORIZON HIGH? MAX MODELL IS ONE OF MY SCIENCE HEROES! I READ EVERY PAPER HE PUBLISHED ON HIS WEBSITE!" Peter grinned happily before opening it up.

It said that Max Modell himself had looked at his grades and transcript and was offering him a scholarship to Horizon High... Was this real? He didn't even apply?

That means no more being made fun of at Midtown High for his geekiness and for being a Braniac and he go to school with his best friend Harry Osborn again. He then got a call from his Aunt May and then answered it.

He was so excited he then began telling her about the email before she could even speak. He was weirded out when she started chuckling and told him "I knew this would be a shock to you when you found out, I knew how smart a boy you were so I sent in your grades and transcript with an application to a spot that was open."

His mouth was wide open behind his mask and he asked "so wait you did this? Why didn't you tell me Aunt May?"

"I guess I should have but I so wanted to make this a surprise, I talked to Mr Modell on the phone and he seemed very keen on seeing you as a candidate for this scholarship he decided to give out."

Peter still couldn't believe it and didn't know what to say; he huffed and told her "you didn't have to do this Aunt May but... Thanks for this and everything else you have done for me. I really appreciate it."

"It's nothing Peter so don't mention it." Aunt May told him and they said goodbye before hanging up. He then noticed the gargoyle next to him as he put his phone away.

"Hi you. I'm Spider-Man and do you have a name? Do you mind if I just call you Bruce?" Peter asked the still statue and then began thinking happily.

"So yeah the newest student at Horizon High is a geek who is secretly now a superhero and now talks to statues."

*PB*

Later that day entering a house grumbling while carrying a shopping bag was a blonde haired sixteen year old boy wearing a black shirt and green pants. "I got the groceries you wanted mum." He shouted putting it on a table as he entered the living room where his mother a black haired woman was watching TV.

"Hope you managed to stay out of trouble Clayton." The woman said to her son Clayton Cole sounding a bit cold which he was angered by. The room had a huge trophy face filled with different science trophies.

He saw she was watching the news on TV and reporter Whitney Chang was discussing the earlier incident by the new figure known as Spider-Man. His eyes widened and he then thundered "Spider-Man? That's the name this new guys is going with? I had a better costume and a better name!"

"Clayton please stop!" his mum shouted standing up and facing him. "I am still not over that stunt you pulled last month! You cost yourself your internship at Horizon High and caused so many dollars in property damage, you are under house arrest and we are lucky that Mr Modell didn't press any charges provided you do some community service!"

"Can we please not get over this? It was an accident, I thought I had everything worked out!" Clayton shouted as his mother looked at him in disbelief.

"People could have gotten hurt Clayton including you! In fact that Beck guy did get hurt and I just had to chip in his hospital bills! You are a star in the science competitions, why on earth did you throw it all away and taint your promising future for this shot at playing hero?"

"Conventional science is old school Mom! Superhero science was the new in. I thought I could become a big name like Tony Stark and Hank Pym. People know who they are but hardly anyone knows Phineas Mason or Helen Cho! Max Modell and Stephen Hawking are among the only ones who are mostly known without being superheroes. I thought with my sonic pulse generator, I could join the big leagues!" Clayton told her as his mum just sighed and slapped her forehead.

"You managed to invent something like that but you waste it in this. You are not Tony Stark or Hank Pym; they were experienced in their fields before they did all this. You are lucky about all this; do you know the man they say is going to be the next mayor? Leland Owlsley, he wants to crack down on these masked types and people like you imitating the superheroes are adding fuel to his arguments." His mum sighed.

Clayton just glared at her before making his way to his bedroom. After locking his bedroom door, he then found the loose bit of his carpet and pulled it out and the n pulled down some loose floorboards.

At least he was smart enough to build another prototype of his equipment, made in secret while in a lab at Horizon High. There was also a spare costume he made. He knew they would know it was him again but he was going to make his mark in the city. He then grimaced remembering the incident that got him expelled from Horizon High:

A month ago, in a hiding spot at the campus Horizon High, Clayton was in a white and black stitched together suit. He had an electrical backpack on which was connected to thrusters on his gloves and boots. He was looking at a man in a purple cloak with a high collar. He had a helmet on which resembled a fishbowl. Underneath the cloak the man was wearing a jetpack device that Clayton had worked on.

"The things I do for even a little work, I am now working at some teen's superhero flash mob..." the guy muttered in annoyance. The man was Quentin Beck a lesser known stage actor who was having trouble finding work recently.

"Remember what we talked about, after I send the smoke grenades you use the jetpack and holographic technology I borrowed, maybe make a speech and then make the speech. I come one in and save Polly from you, only for you to get away. I make myself known as a superhero and I give you the money I promised." Clayton told him in glee.

Quentin muttered quietly wondering if this was worth fifty bucks. Clayton then put on his mostly white full face mask and goggles. He then threw a modified smoke grenade set to engulf the entire campus.

Quentin in his costume was floating about using his jetpack, once he got everyone's attention he then shouted through the voice amplifier and modulator built into his helmet "BEHOLD MORTALS, I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL MYSTERIO! I HAVE COME TO BRING YOU DOOM, I AM THE SORCEROR KING OF A DIMENSION AND I HAVE DECIDED TO COME HERE TO ADD THIS PLACE CALLED EARTH TO MY DOMAIN! SURRENDER NOW OR FACE MY MAGICAL POWERS!"

People were watching this as if it was a show and began taking videos and pictures on their phones, especially as he used the hidden holographic tech to make holograms of fire appear.

"You will not be getting the Earth without a fight you villainous tyrant! I am Clash the Spectacular Sultan of Sound, New York's new defender and I will start by sending you back to where you came from." Clash shouted floating about using the sound thrusters from his boots. He had his backpack use a built in sound system to play his custom made rock music.

It was only after the time of practice that he had that Clayton could keep himself in the air but even then he was stumbling a bit, Clayton then decided to point the palm of his hand to Quentin. He then sent a small sound blast to Quentin's direction, supposedly to scare the 'villain' off.

To his astonishment and horror it was much bigger than intended and Quentin belt to the ground and was knocked unconscious. "Oh no, I must have sent it to a higher setting by mistake..." Clayton muttered in shock looking at his hand and accident setting off another sound blast from his other hand which knocked down a piece of the wall of the Horizon Building.

He then lost his balance and fell to the ground, next thing he knew he was being unmasked and saw the glaring voices of security and Max giving him a very displeased look.

Tomorrow, he will make sure Modell pays for expelling him.

I liked Clash as you could see by how I used him in Spidey. I was excited when I learned he would be in Marvel's Spider-Man only to be disappointed by how he and Shocker were used. I have decided to make him the first foe in this story and to have a more accurate portrayal.

I feel Clayton is an underrated villain and could be a great foil and antithesis to Peter, showing what he could be if he was reckless and irresponsible with his brains and tech knowledge as well as if he kept being out for himself.
