Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
jestalnaker94000: Yeah the Magneto of 1610 is pretty dark, way darker than his 616 mainstream counterpart.
marveldcfan: Some may try but Peter will early on warn them that if they're not an Inhuman and they weren't chosen to be a queen by his mother and father well they'll be out of luck, still being a member of his harem will grant them some serious influence and power, not as much as Iso but still plenty that if they want something done, it'll usually get done.
spiderman1fan: We'll be seeing Nick and SHEILD pop up very soon and they will be keeping an eye on Peter and the Inhumans once they come into the picture more. Once Peter joins up with the Ultimates he'll be operating in New York more often when he's not back at Attilan or off to one of the other Inhuman cities and have a chance to meet the other New York based heroes like the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Punisher, Doctor Strange and eventually Miles Morales too. Yeah, some of the material from the Marvel Cinematic universe will be used in this, movies and Netflix shows, particularly the Inhumans portion like what's been shown in Agents of SHIELD and the upcoming and hopefully good Inhumans television series coming out in like September or something.
Lost in the Web: Kind of hit a sort of uninspired wall with that story but I do have plans to update it within the next few weeks, I already have several chapters done, just these other stories and then life makes it hard to keep track of things.
BusterBlue12: Yeah, Peter will be making that point about Humans hating on Mutants for being different and draw parallels to events in humanity's own history like the whole Witch hunts in Europe and America, The Native Americans getting the short end of the stick once Europe started to colonize them, Africa getting a similar treatment from it's European colonizers, the Jews being Europe's punching bags for years and it just goes on and on. As for where to start in Valiant comics, I'd say start with relaunched X-O Manowar (2012), Unity (2013), Bloodshot (2012), Harbinger, Rai (even though the events will take place in the future, its still a good read and I have plans to make that crucial to the story), Eternal Warrior and Shadowman. Also check out the Stalinverse comics that show similar characters but Russian, I may not use them but they are still pretty interesting. As for Image comics, it'll be a little harder since not all of their comics are set in the same universe an follow a continuity of some sort but for the sake of the story I'd say go with Spawn, the Darkness and Witch Blade.
Chaos Sorcerer: Peter was joking, he isn't going to divulge information that important so soon, maybe after they've dealt with Magneto he'll reconsider but even then Hank's smart, he may not figure out what Peter is entirely but he's already beginning to discover that Peter's far from human or even Mutant. No here Logan's around 5'5 close to 5'6 so about half way in terms of height. Yes Emma will be in Peter's harem and will be based more on her mainstream counterpart then the Ultimate's version and will have both her diamond form and her psionic powers. No, SHIELD and Fury will get involved later with the X-men and to some extent the Inhumans. Yes Peter will join the Ultimates and he'll run into Black Cat on occasion. Wanda's interest will be peaked by Peter when they meet this chapter and interact more. Deadpool will appear but I'm wondering if I go with his mainstream personality or his darker more warped Ultimates personality. No Peter will get semi indestructible stingers in the Blood, Guts and Iron arc and as for Peter meeting Logan because of Weapon X, kinda.
superspiderfan: No Wanda won't be overly possessive of Peter, as for Peter helping She-Hulk get through Bruce's death in the Family to the End sequel, can't say without giving spoilers but she will be a prominent character in the sequel.

Maximus let out a content sigh as he stared out at the jungles of the Savage Land, watching several prehistoric creatures wander the terrain and fly through the warm skies.
"You know…a guy could almost find peace with this view" Maximus said with a thoughtful look on his face before it dropped and it was replaced with an annoyed scowl "Great I'm becoming some sort of hippie!"
He then turned from the scene and re-entered his room that was given to him by Magento when he first arrived. The powerful Inhuman made sure to disable all of the hidden cameras, sensors and bugs stashed in here before he settled in.
He approached a computer and sat down in front of it before typing in a few commands to it and waited for it to respond to him. After several seconds a small screen opened up and he read a message that was sent to him only a few seconds ago.
Aerie is trying to secede from Attilan and the other Inhuman cities. Others likely to follow in the coming months if allowed.
Maximus quirked a brow at this before he began to chuckle "Oh now that's just priceless…"
He quickly typed in his response with a small grin on his face before leaning back in his chair.
And how is my dear brother handling it?
He waited a few moments for a response before he got his answer and nearly fell out of his chair laughing at what it said.
He's trying to negotiate a better solution.
Maximus wiped his eyes from the tears that threaten to spill as he shook his head at his brother's actions before he calmed himself and sent a response.
Make sure that the talks don't go too well but not bad enough for Aerie to actually secede. The same goes with the other cities, at least not yet!
He waited several moments before he received an affirmation before he ended the chat and opened up a new one with his other agent inside Attilan that's thankfully had yet to be caught and imprisoned like many of Maximus's other people when he was first incarcerated several years ago, unjustly in his opinion, all he did was eat his mom's brain and kill a few dozen people.
How goes the process?
Several minutes ticked by as Maximus impatiently waited for a response.
Well, the Terrigen crystals you found in the Savage Land have proven to be very helpful as we no longer need to worry about the council noticing shortages in the Terrigen crystal stockpiles beneath Attilan. Still too early but initial tests are promising, now we just need a suitable test to see if adjustments need to be made.
Maximus hummed at that before a dark grin began to spread across his face, his red eyes glowing with dark amusement as he sent a reply.
I have something or more acutely someone in mind, multiple someone's in fact!
Who?
At this Maximus chuckled as he sent one last response before shutting down the monitor with a chuckle.
Let's just say that my darling dear brother and his family are about to have one hell of a headache LOL!
…
"I'm still not sure about this…" Ice man said in a low tone as he and Peter made their way down an alleyway in the city of Croatia where according to Xavier, the Brotherhood of Mutants was holding the President's daughter until their jet to the Savage Land picks them up in close to twenty minutes.
"What do you mean?" Peter asked as he scanned the various shops he and the ice maker passed.
Iceman glanced at Peter before he let out a sigh "It's just, Magento's stopped the Sentinels from blowing Mutants way, isn't that kind of a good thing?"
Peter hummed at that and thought over his response before replying "Yeah it's a good thing…for at best a week and then the Sentinels are back at it again, this time with a vengeance"
"But won't that get the girl killed?" Iceman asked with a frown "I mean Magneto did say that the next Mutant killed will be followed by the President's daughter, and that guy doesn't look like someone who bluffs"
"Yeah, but the thing is Bobby, that President of yours doesn't entirely run your people's government by himself. Hell, he can be overruled if it's believed his judgement's been compromised which in this case it has" Peter pointed out as he and Bobby passed a small corner store that had some rather interesting jewelry on sale, causing Peter to briefly consider getting something for his mother and aunt Crystal back home before continuing his conversation with Bobby.
"You see kid, all this whole kidnapping the President's daughter, all it's doing is buying time for Magento's people and to some extent Mutants everywhere but it won't last. The guys who give the orders to the Sentinels are bound to say within the next week maybe two to say, 'fuck it we tried' and switch them back on even if it does get the first daughter killed"
"But why?" Iceman asked with a look of shock "I mean she's just a kid!"
It was than Peter looked at Iceman with narrowed lenses "And? Your government, while a few leagues ahead of some of the other less than desirable ones out in the world, won't care. After all what's one human life compared to the millions of humans that'll be saved when the Sentinels wipe out Mutant kind before they can wipe them out, they may even use her as some sort of Martyr or something and maybe spin a little story about how the 'evil Mutants' raped and killed the poor girl and left her body to be found by a bunch of brave soldiers who was just too late or even the Sentinels to find and people will believe that shit. If I was some bigot Mutant hating guy in Washington, that's what I'd do…"
"Jesus…" Iceman said as he glanced down at the ground "That's…that's just super messed up man!"
"That's politics kid, it's rarely ever as clean as people think and more often than not, innocent people pay the price because of it" Peter said with a shrug as he made out a television playing in a bar talking about the recent kidnapping of the President's daughter.
"Spider-man's right Iceman" Cyclops said over the team's com link "And even if the Government doesn't start the Sentinels back up again, they're just going to send a bunch of unprepared soldiers to try and rescue her who will in turn be butchered like cattle"
"And run the risk of the girl getting killed in the crossfire" Wolverine threw in his own two cents with a grunt "And that hate for Mutants and retribution for said girl's death will make all the bullshit against Mutants everywhere up until now look like a fuckin joke"
"This is not how I thought being a superhero would be" Iceman said as he rubbed his brow in frustration and annoyance.
"Life of a hero is rarely easy or ends well Bobby" Colossus said as he approached from the eastern part of the city.
"Amen to that" Jean said from the team's jet as it soared several thousand feet over the city.
It was than Peter made out the Brotherhood of Mutant's location, a small motel "Got eyes on the safehouse…not very subtle are they, they picked the most expensive hotel here!"
"I see it" Beast responded as he was making his way on the rooftops that overlooked the target building and pulled out a pair of high tech binoculars and began to scan the windows "Found them, on the second floor facing Spider-man and Iceman. I count five hostiles, and I can see the President's daughter sitting at a table. She looks a bit ruffed up but otherwise fine, her opinion on Mutants however is probably even lower than before"
"Well lets hope we can try and change that, Beast, Spider-man, Iceman, don't engage until the rest of us are in position" Cyclops said.
"Aye boss…" Peter said before he began to approach the building much to Iceman's confusion.
"Dude, where you going? Cyclops said stay back until the rest show up!"
"I'm just going to say hi" Peter said with a hidden grin "Don't worry, I won't let the girl get killed, just let Cyclops know that he and the others better hurry up"
Peter than disappeared in a black blur as he raced towards and into the building, starling several people as he raced up the stairs to the second floor and began to approach the room that Beast said they were in, which wasn't hard considering his enhanced hearing could pick up their bickering.
'This should be fun…' Peter thought as he cracked his neck in preparation for the fight that was about to break out 'Let's just hope all those lessons with Karnak, Gorgon and my father paid off…fighting powerless humans is one thing…Mutant terrorists are another'
…
"What happened to my shodding cigarettes?" the Mutant toad complained as he held up an empty cigarette carton with annoyance "There were fifteen in the pack before I went for a slash"
Quicksilver gave the leaping Mutant an amused look "I can smoke fifteen before the match goes out Toad. Thirty if I'm really trying"
It was than Mastermind, who was sitting on the couch with the Scarlet Witch, glanced at Quicksilver with an unimpressed look "Really? What a wonderful mutant ability Quicksilver"
He then glanced at Wanda who was engrossed in a novel of some sort "Thank god we've got each other for intelligent conversation, Scarlet Witch"
Wanda paused in her reading and glanced at Mastermind with a bored expression "Actually, the only intelligent conversation I get around here…is when I talk to myself, Mastermind"
The man scowled in annoyance at the woman before the group heard a loud knock at the door followed by a very bad impersonation of a woman's voice.
"Room service!"
Blob who was in the middle of eating a sandwich glanced at the door mid bite "Room service, I didn't order anything…did I?"
It was than the door was kicked in and the Mutants saw a black clad man with an odd red spider symbol and red lenses enter the room and quirked his head to the side.
"Really?" the man said "Huh, could've sworn one of you ordered a can of whoop ass with a nice healthy serving of jail time, guess it was the couple in room twelve down the hall eh?"
"Toad!" Quicksilver said to the green skin man who sent his tongue out to ensnare the man by the neck and hopefully suffocate him.
Peter's hand suddenly shot out and grabbed the tongue before chuckling "Whoa buddy, I don't do tongue on a first date, but hey make it worth my while and I'll reconsider…for the hottie on the sofa"
He then yanked Toad towards him and rammed his fist into the surprised mutant's face before suddenly Quicksilver blitzed the Inhuman and slammed him into the wall in the hallway. Peter winced at the impact.
'Damn…moved faster than my spider-sense could react!' Pete thought as he grabbed Quicksilver's arm and yanked it off his chest before grabbing the stunned man and slamming his head into the wall and giving him a painful kick back into the room just as Beast crashed through the skylight and landed on the green clad speedster.
"Colossus, could use some help here!" the X-man said as he leaped over a swipe from the Blob and landed next to the terrified and confused girl they were here for.
Suddenly the building began to violently shake as down below Colossus had slammed a wooden block into the ceiling that acted as a floor for the room above him. Meanwhile Beast grabbed the President's daughter and made a break for the window followed closely by Peter who sent a powerful kick into a rising Quicksilver's face, sending him flying towards his sister who shrieked in surprise as he collided with her.
Peter, Beast and the president's daughter leaped out the window and on to an ice slide made by Iceman who had just finished making the ice construct in the nick of time.
"Sorry I missed my cue, but I think I just saw Wolverine relieving himself on a wall back there" the young teen said as the three slid down the cool surface and right on to the back of a sportscar that Scott…burrowed… for the mission.
"Nice wheels" Peter said as Beast placed the panicking girl in the passenger seat before leaping off the car as Colossus and Iceman regrouped with them.
It was than the President's daughter spoke in a scared tone "Who are you people?"
"The good guys of course" Cyclops said as he slammed on the gas and the sports car shot off down the road, causing to nearly lose grip on the vehicle "Now buckle up and close your eyes miss, your going home"
"Uhh Cyclops, we might have a problem" Peter said as he felt his spider-sense tingle and he looked back to see a green streak race towards them at a blurring speed before he suddenly knocked Peter off with a rapid fast series of punches that Peter couldn't follow, much less dodge, that sent him flying into a passing building.
"Spider-man!?" Cyclops yelled before suddenly Quicksilver snatched the car keys and appeared on the hood of the car with a smirk on his slightly bruised face.
"Missing an engine Cyclops?" the man said as he twirled the keys around on his finger.
Scott narrowed his eyes at Magneto's son before he blasted him with his optic beams "Missing a face jackass?!"
The car came to a stop as the engine was no longer running and Cyclops helped the girl out o her seat before they broke off into a sprint away from a smoking, but very much alive and pissed of Quicksilver.
He pulled a piece of glass from the side of his face and glared at the running duo "I can't believe your seriously trying to outrun me, you idiots. I could have your skins hanging from the telephone wires in the blink of an eye!"
"And yet you can't dodge this!" Spider-man said as he swung into Quicksilver and kicked the man into the wall, causing him to let out a pained groan.
Peter sent several web lines towards the man but frowned as Quicksilver suddenly sped around them and delivered a clothesline it no Peter that sent him flying into the car with a loud crash before he suddenly sent a flurry of punches towards the wall crawler who wasn't fast enough to block most of them before he sent a kick out that connected with the speedster's mid-section followed up by a uppercut that nearly broke his jaw.
Quicksilver growled in pain before he sprinted around Spider-man and sent several kicks and punches towards him before sending a hundred mile per hour punch right into his face.
"GAAAHHH!" Peter yelled in pain as he felt something crack in his skull as he was sent through a apartment window and right on to a table "…okay ow…"
"Heh still fast enough to beat you" Quicksilver growled before he shot off after Cyclops and the President's daughter and didn't make it a hundred feet before he was forced to come to a stop or risk impaling himself on Wolverine's claws as the man appeared from an alleyway.
"Man, that had to be just about the longest pee in history" Logan said as he adjusted his pants.
"Wolverine?" Quicksilver said in surprise before he narrowed his eyes at his father's most trusted assassin "What are you doing here?"
He then sent a clawed swipe at the man who was just barely able to dodge it "Wouldn't you like to know!"
Meanwhile Peter had just emerged from the window he was sent through, pausing to pull out a piece of glass from his side and rub the area of his skull that Quicksilver punched and winced as he felt something shift under the skin.
"Yeeeah that's not good…better avoid any more head injuries" Peter hissed in pain before leaping out of the window and shooting a web line out and using it to slingshot himself on to the roof and race after cyclops and the President's daughter "Hope the speedy Gonzales reject didn't get them"
After several minutes of hopping across various rooftops in a manner that put some of the greatest parkour athletes to shame, he arrived to see Toad, trapped in a block of ice, getting the mother of all punt kicks to the face by a very pissed off Storm.
"And that's for calling me American, you skinny English prick!" Ororo growled at the bleeding face of Toad.
It was than Peter landed before her, Cyclops and Iceman who was helping the before mentioned man up "Where's the girl?"
"What?" Cyclops said as he and Iceman looked around and began to panic "Ah crap!"
It was than Wolverine's voice echoed through the commlink "Don't burst into tears just yet Cyclops. She's alive and well and only hours away from worrying about boys, zits and trigonometry again…"
"Wow, Logan knows a word as big as Trigonometry, I'm so proud of him!" Peter whispered towards Iceman who snickered.
It was than Wolverine spoke up again, this time sounding less sure of himself "…Unless of course the Scarlet Witch up there fires us with one of her hex bolts"
It was than Peter leaped into the air and landed on one of the rooftops "I'll rescue him, mostly because he'll never live it down!"
He quickly scanned the horizon and made out a floating from off towards the edge of the city surrounded by scarlet energy. Peter quickly bolted off towards the figure that he could only assume was the Scarlet Witch. As he was making his way towards her, Peter saw the Blackbird coming in towards the edge of the city, likely to pick Wolverine and the likely scared stiff President's daughter.
"Well at least she'll have an interesting story to tell her peeps back at school" Peter mused as he landed on a chimney before launching himself at the distracted form of Scarlet Witch who was trying to blast the police car that Wolverine commandeered for him and the girl to use to escape.
She was so distracted by her target that she didn't have time to react when Spider-man slammed into her.
"Ahhhh!" she yelped in surprise as the two tumbled towards the ground before Peter shot a web line out and used it to swing just meters above the ground…and right into a wall.
KOOOOOMMM!
"…And there goes my spine" Peter whimpered as he used his body as a cushion for the woman in his arms.
Wanda shook her head before looking up and coming nearly face to face with the torn mask of Spider-man. She narrowed her eyes at the man "You!"
"Me!" he beamed before he let her go and watched as she backed away from him and sent a hex bolt at him.
Peter quickly vaulted over the scarlet energy and landed in a crouch before shooting multiple web bullets at the young woman who responded with a shield of scarlet energy before sending multiple hex bolts towards Peter.
"Whoa!" he yelled as he ducked, rolled and side stepped the numerous bolts coming at him while trying to close the distance which was far harder than it looked as she resorted to hovering above him again.
"Hold still!" Wanda shouted as she sent a powerful wave of hex energy at Peter who let out a surprised yelp as it slammed into the ground behind him and sent him flying.
Peter quickly shot a web line towards the ground and yanked himself to it as another hex bolt flew over his head and just singed the top of his mask, causing him to hiss in slight pain before he shot two web lines at Wanda, one snagging her in the leg, the other catching her in the shoulder and yanked her towards him.
"Ahhh!" she yelled in surprise before she was slammed into the ground, knocking the wind out of her.
"Sorry, I normally try not to hit girls, especially the pretty ones but you are trying to kill me so I think I'm justified in defending myself" Peter said as he was just about to wrap her up in a small cocoon of webbing when she suddenly sent her elbow into his chin, snapping his head to the side before she kicked him in the chest.
"AGH!" Peter yelled as he felt her heel connect with his rib and it nearly give under the force.
She then suddenly speared him to the ground and tried to punch him in the face only for Peter to grab her fist and roll them over until he was on top and pinned her hands above her head. Two stared at each other, both breathing heavily.
"…So, you come here often?" Peter breathed out as he tried to catch his breath.
Wanda narrowed her eyes at Peter as she saw one of his lenses was cracked and chipping away enough for her to see his eye underneath and couldn't help but notice it was a soft warm red color. She than shook her head and tried to push Peter off her only to find him barely moving.
After several moments, she let out a sigh of defeat before glaring at him "What do you want bug boy?"
"Aside from telling you I'm a spider and not a bug and a date with you? Let us take the girl back" Peter said with a shrug as he adjusted his grip on her wrists
At this Wanda quirked a brow of interest "Oh…is that it?"
"Uh yeah pretty much" Peter said with a nod only for his eyes to widen as Wanda threw him a sultry grin as she began to slowly trail a leg up his and wrap it around his hip, pulling him closer to her.
"And if I do this…you'll take me on a date hmm?" Wanda asked as she but her lip.
"Uhhh…" Peter sounded in surprise, not how he thought this was gonna go but-
'Spider-sense!' Peter thought and reacted too late as Wanda let out a enraged and powerful yell followed by a massive explosion of scarlet energy erupting from her and sending him skidding back several meters, his suit being slightly burned from the unknown and powerful energy.
"GAH that's smarts!" Peter nearly screamed as he felt his head begin to throb even more in pain.
"Thank you…" Wanda panted out as she stood up on wobbly legs before falling back to her knees.
The two laid there trying to catch their bearings when suddenly several trucks filled with men armed with rifles pulled up on the duo. Peter felt his spider-sense tingle again as he glanced at an equally confused and slightly scared Wanda.
"Guess they're not your friends either?" he asked as the men took aim at the Scarlet Witch much to his shock.
He quickly shot a web line out at the man's gun barrel and yanked it to the side as the man was about to open fire on the shocked woman "Oi jackasses, leave the girl alone!"
It was than the men glanced at Peter who had forced himself back to his feet which was a little difficult as the head injury of his was starting to act up now that his adrenaline died down "Yeah…I'm talking to you!"
The men began to speak in some language that Peter didn't recognize as they began to aim at him as he steady approached the group while mentally shouting for the Scarlet Witch to get the hell out of there, they may be enemies but Peter doubts he'll be able to live with himself if he got the girl killed because of an apparent pissing contest between Magento and Xavier
"Ooh scary… bunch of momma's boys… hiding behind their guns…" Peter panted out as his vision blurred as his head injury was beginning to take it's toll.
One of the men clicked the safety of his AK-47 off and aimed at Peter's approaching form along with the rest of the armed men "Shoot the mutie!"
They then opened fired on Peter as Wanda shouted in horror.
"NOOOO!"
…
And done.
Peter and the X-men are saved by the most unlikely of people as Croatia's residents attack.
