QUICK NOTE: This chapter has no connection to anything that is happening in the other chapters. Just taking a break from the RE7 mini series. Since the Resident Evil 2 Remake is just around the corner, I figured I'd make a special chapter to celebrate the occasion. And since I LOVED the Into the Spider verse movie, I figured I'd use the one who really would fit right in with Resident Evil.
I will only use the comic book version of him though, since the movie made him much more lighthearted than he actually is. So anything from the movie or the Shattered Dimension game will not count here.
With that out of the way. Enjoy the chapter.
Noir and X.
Multiverses. Countless of alternate earths that exist all across different realities. Many of them are nearly identical to each other, while some could not be any more different. And this is true when it comes to everyone's favorite web head, Spider-Man. Countless spiders exist across the so called Spider Verse and while many of them are a lot alike the one everyone knows and love. Some are indeed quite different from what many are used to, someone that lived in a much darker world than everyone's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Which now brings us to the Spider-Man of Earth-90214. Or as he is better known as: Spider-Man Noir.
In this reality, Peter Parker was raised by his paternal aunt and uncle, May and Ben Parker, during the Great Depression. Peter was raised with the belief of good triumphing over evil and was supportive of his aunt and uncle's activism.
Peter tragically discovered the mutilated body of his uncle Ben, killed in retaliation by one of New York City's businessmen for organizing a strike on sweatshops. The murder of his uncle by the Goblin's henchman, the Volture, drove Peter's resolve to continue to seek justice. While helping May at a rally in a Hooverville, they encountered a violent response from the Enforcers. Fortunately, the two were saved by Ben Urich. Subsequently, Peter became Urich's protege for the Daily Bugle and explored the dire situation of New York City's denizens, especially those under the threat of the Goblin. After Peter mistakenly received a tip-off meant for Urich, he ventured to a warehouse where the Goblin's men were unloading a shipment of stolen antiques.
A particular antique, a spider statue, breaks open and releases a horde of spiders. One of the spiders bit Peter, causing him to pass out and dream of a spider god. After waking up, Peter discovered he possessed arachnid superpowers. Donning a mask, Peter confronted Norman Osborn in his home in order to get him to give up his hold over the city. However, Peter was shocked to discover Urich, who was revealed to have been blackmailing Osborn with his information on the mob boss in exchange for fueling his drug habit. Angered, Peter left Urich. Upon returning home, Peter created a costume based on his uncle's World War 1 era airman uniform and became the vigilante, Spider-Man.
As the Bugle labeled him negatively in the papers, Spider-Man arrived at the Bugle building to meet Jonah Jameson over this matter, only to find Jameson shot to death. Later on, Peter learned that Jameson was replaced by the Chameleon and the real Jameson was imprisoned by Osborn. This lead Peter to Jameson's location, where he killed the Vulture, who was responsible for killing Ben Parker, to stop him from murdering May Parker.
Despite saving his aunt, May criticized him for killing the Vulture, as he could have stopped him with his powers. She told Peter that killing people would make him less of what makes him human. Spider-Man later tracked down the Goblin's "torture house" and found the mob boss and his Enforcers holding Felicia and Jameson captive. He discovered that the Goblin had planned on murdering Urich, finding the reporter's information on the Goblin, which was kept by Felicia, and then eliminating every witness. He also discovered that Felicia was responsible for killing the Chameleon after she saw him, disguised as Jameson, murdering Urich. Spider-Man intervened, subdued the Enforcers and rescued Jameson. Spider-Man chased the Goblin, who held Felicia hostage, and cornered him. Peter had the chance to kill Osborn, but decided not to. The mob boss was then killed by spider-infested Sergei Kravinoff.
But even after Goblin's death, Peter kept up his life as Spider-Man. He went after several other crime lords with some help from Falicia, which sadly lead to her face being badly scared after the crime lord named Crime Master discovered her secret infatuation with the vigilante.
While Peter has been through many strange ordeals, one involving teaming up with an army of other Spider Heroes in the battle against the brutal spider hunting Inheritors, something happened that lead to Peter ending up in a city he had never seen before.
He read a sign that said: Raccoon City.
"Who the hell names a city after an animal that digs through trash?" Peter asked out loud, but the city name was not all that confused him. The cars, the buildings, everything was decades ahead of his time. Thanks to his experience with the other Spiders, it was not hard for him to figure out he was in another world.
But that does not really answer his question though: Exactly were is he? And is there a Spider in this world? Well standing around doing nothing would not help him, so he decided to explore. He heard screaming and he hurried to see if someone needed his help. The scream grew weaker and when he finally located the source... he found a bunch of people eating someone.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing!?" Peter demanded.
But as the cannibals turned and looked at him... Peter could finally see that those were not really people... they looked like corpses. Wait a minute... they were Zombies!? Of course Peter knew about zombies, they've been around since the 30's, but Peter always believed they were nothing but monsters in books or horror movies. Just what kind of world had he landed in?
The zombies let out dead moans as they began stalking towards him. Not feeling like fighting these things, Peter climbed up a building... only to hear another scream. He looked and saw a family with a little girl running from a zombie horde... but the mother hurt her ankle and ended up falling. The child stopped and tried to help her mother up while screaming for her father... but he did not go back to help them... he just kept running, even locking a gate, trapping them with the zombies... all just so he could save himself.
"That bastard!" Peter growls out before jumping down and kicking a zombie, that was about to attack the mother and her child, right in the head with enough force to shatter it. He would not really need to think about killing people, since zombies are already dead.
The mother and her child were shocked to see this masked man punching and kicking the zombies away. But it became more and more clear that there was to many of them. Peter turned and picked up the two ladies and used his strong legs to jump over the gate and ran away from the undead horror. It did not take long before he caught up with the father.
"Dario!" The mother said.
The daughter glared, both hurt and angry "Dad...".
The man named Dario Rosso got wide eyes "You are alive...?".
"No thanks to you!" The mother spat.
"I-I'm sorry, there was nothing I could do. I-" Before Dario could finish, Peter punched him in the face, making him fall to the ground and made his nose bleed.
"You left your own family to die. There is nothing worse for a man to do. You are a pathetic excuse for a family man" Peter said with pure venom in his voice.
Neither the wife or daughter tried to defend Dario. What he did was something they just could not ignore. He left them to die just to save himself. That is something that can't be forgiven. Despite this, Peter did help them to an abandoned warehouse... well he helped the wife and daughter, Dario had to get there himself.
After making sure they would be safe for a moment, Peter was about to head out "I'm gonna look for more survivors. Make sure to barricade yourself inside and if I'm not back in 3 hours, don't wait for me".
"Wait" The daughter said "Who are you?".
Peter looked down at her "I'm Spider-Man".
The wife managed to limp up to him "Thank you".
Before Peter could do anything, she lifted his mask past his mouth and gave him a big kiss right on the lips. Both to thank him and to make it clear to Dario that if they make it out of this, she is filing for an divorce. Something he looked real aware of.
Peter accepted the kiss before heading out in to the city again.
T-00 or Mr X, a Tyrant T-103 which was sent into Raccoon City during the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident to recover a G-virus sample from the pendant of Sherry Birkin and kill surviving officers of the Raccoon Police Department.
Development of the T-103 took place in May 1998 after successful development of the Tyrant T-002. Like other B.O.W.s in the Arklay Laboratory, an embryonic clone of the T-002 was created and evacuated from the facility by Dr. William Birkin shortly after the t-virus outbreak. Development focusing on improvements was conducted in the Umbrella Underground Laboratory beneath Raccoon City in an attempt to overcome the T-002's fatal flaw of going out of human control and gaining a sense of self after being left alone for several months. Following completion, the T-103 entered mass-production at the Tyrant Plant on Sheena Island. Several experimental variants were developed from this new model.
Following the demise of the UBCS, Article 12 of Umbrella's Internal Emergency Procedures was enacted, and all materials and personnel still within the city were placed under the command of Colonel Sergei Vladimir. When it was discovered Delta Force had infiltrated Umbrella's facilities, Col. Vladimir prepared an SH-60B Seahawk for B.O.W. deployment. Mr X, however, was dropped over the Raccoon Police Station with its own mission. It had two orders: first, to eliminate any police survivors, and second to locate the G-Virus. Mr X crashed through the roof of the 2F east passage, but by this point only three police officers were left.
The police station was soon after abandoned by survivors Leon S. Kennedy; Ada Wong; Claire Redfield and Sherry Birkin, and T-00, having spotted at least one within the station, began pursuing them.
He was after Claire who was running with Sherry. Sadly they ran in to a dead end and turned to see the Tyrant stalking towards them with fast steps. Claire only had a combat knife on her, so she pulled it out, ready to fight to the death in order to protect Sherry... but as Mr X got closer, a voice called out.
"Get away from the ladies ugly!" Mr X turned just in time to rechive a powerful kick in the face. The surprise of the kick made him stumble and fall down as the masked hero looked at Claire and Sherry "You two alright?".
"Look out!" Claire shouted.
Peter looked to see Mr X throw a punch. With no time to dodge, Peter blocked the punch with his arms, but the force of the punch sent him clean through a book bookshelf. Thinking the minor interruption was over, Mr X turned back to finish it's mission... only for Peter to jump on to his back and wrapping his arm around Mr X's neck.
"Hurry! Get out of here!" Peter ordered as the Tyrant tried to get him of.
"But what about you?" Sherry asked.
"Don't worry about me! I'll hold him of! JUST GO!" Peter shouted.
Claire did not like it, but decided to trust their mysterious savior for now as she picked Sherry up "Time to go Sherry!".
Mr X kept thrashing around, trying to get Peter of, even ramming through another bookshelf "OW! Easy there big guy! Don't" He was smashed against another shelf "Make me!" Another shelf "Have to!" He was then smashed against a wall, forcing him to loosen his grip and allowing Mr X to throw him away "HURT YOU!" Peter landed on a table that shattered from the impact "OK, that one hurt" He stood up and raised his fists "Well alright then big guy. Let's do this!".
Mr X stalked up to him and threw a punch, which Peter avoided and slugged the tyrant in the face, making it stumble back. Peter followed up with several fast punches to Mr X's chest, but his blows only hurt a little and ultimately annoyed the monster more than anything. Mr X brought it's fist down, but once again Peter managed to avoid it, but when he went to counter, the Tyrant grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.
Peter struggled against the monster's grip as it tried to snap his neck. Peter resorted to punching the Tyrant in the face several times, making it growl and threw him in to the floor. As Peter got up he was not fast enough to avoid a strong punch to his face that knocked him down. The Tyrant grabbed his head and tried to crush it, and had it not been for his tougher bone structure, his head would have popped like an egg. Peter quickly fired webbing in to Mr X's face, blinding him.
Peter attempts to press the attack on the Tyrant, landing a kick on his opponent. Mr X got the web of his face and manages to grab Peter by his neck and flings him far into the wall on the other side of the room. Peter shakes is head Mr X then walks up to him and attempts to land a devastating over-the-head double hammer-fist on him, but Peter is able to nullify the hit with his boots and pushed him of. The two exchange a series of blows, with Peter using a piece from the shattered floor as a projectile, which Mr X blocks with his arm. However, in the melee, Peter manages to hit his opponent down to the floor.
Mr X got on one knee but Peter simply walked up to him "Lights out ugly".
Mr X looked up just in time for Peter to land at least 10 powerful punches to his face. Peter kept repeating the left and right hook combo before finishing it of by kicking Mr X hard enough to make crash through a wall and fall down to the streets below. Peter looked down and saw the Tyrant's motionless body. He took a deep breath to calm himself before heading of to see if he could find the girls...
But on the streets of Raccoon City... the body of Mr X began to move... it was not over... not even close.
