I hope you like what I have planned for the Origin Story. So please Review and Enjoy.
In her lab Barbra was typing away on her computer trying to find any clues about Spider-Man and who he was. It had been a few days since Spider-Man stopped Vulture and Barbra was doing everything she could to find him.
Looking at various pictures of him Barbra looks for anything that could give her a hint. "That's strange until about three months ago there's been no record of him, it's like he just became a Super Hero overnight."
Watching various news videos, she sees Spider-Man fighting some criminals with ease. "Not to mention he's very well trained and incredible reflexes. Just who are you?" She asks as she continues to search.
The next morning in Metropolis the light shines in through a bedroom.
"Jaden, Jaden wake up!" A female voice calls out.
Rising out of bed was a boy with medium length black hair and blue eyes. This was Jaden Cooper.
"Coming mom." Jaden said getting dressed.
He wore a blue jacket, grey t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. Walking out of his room he sees a woman with long black hair in glasses was watching the news. This was Maya Cooper
"Hi Mom." Jaden said.
"Morning sleepyhead. You better hurry up and eat if you want to make it to school on time." Maya said.
Jaden nods as he grabs his backpack and a piece of toast.
Maya looks to the screen to see the crash from last night's fight. "To think something like that keeps happening in our city. If you ever see something like near you I want you to run." She said looking her son in the eye.
"I promise mom." Jaden smiles kissing his mom on the cheek before leaving.
At Metropolis High School Jaden was walking down the halls to his locker.
As he opens the door to his locker when a hand hits the locker in front of him. Turning his head Jaden saw a boy with black hair that was spiky in the back. This was Zack Harrison he's been bullying Jaden since forever.
"Morning Jaden." Zack smirks.
"Ugh hey Zack can we skip this I've had a long night." Jaden groaned.
Zack smirks as he grabs Jaden and shoves him into his locker. "And just like that my morning sucks." Jaden sighs.
A few minutes later Jaden feels the combination being moved on his locker and it opens to reveal a black boy with brown hair, this was Miles Morales Jaden's best friend.
"Again? Jaden you got to stop letting Zack walk all over you." Miles said.
"It's getting better he only seems to do this once a week nowadays." Jaden said brushing it off. "Besides it ain't so bad at least I got you to let me out." Jaden smirks.
Miles laughs. "That's what friends do. Hey, did you hear about what happened last night? Some criminals tired to rob the Metropolis bank, but Spiderman swooped in and nailed them. I got to tell you being a hero is amazing." Miles said.
Jaden smiles at his friends' enthusiasm as they walked to class.
"Yeah and not to mention cray dangerous." They turn to see a girl with long brown hair in a ponytail and a pink jacket. This was Kitty Pryde another one of Jaden's friends.
"Come on Kitty don't you think it would be awesome to be a hero?" Miles asks.
"Yeah except if any of our parents found out they'd all freak." Kitty smiles.
"She's got you there Miles." Jaden smiles.
"Come on guys we're late for Chemistry. By the way Jaden thanks for sharing your notes with me." Kitty said handing Jaden some pieces of paper.
"No problem." Jaden smiles as the three of them went to class.
As they sit down Jaden couldn't help but think all this hero business started only a few months and on that day Jaden's life had changed completely.
Flashback:
Jaden was sitting in the bus with Miles as they were going on a field trip to the Metropolis Science Labs and Jaden was excited.
"I wonder what kind of cool discoveries they'll be working on." Jaden said.
"Geez Jay you sound like a kid in the candy store." Miles chuckles.
"Come on Miles you know Science is my thing." Jaden said.
"And Math and anything else that's nerdy." Miles smirks.
"Hey you do all that stuff with me so you're just a big of nerd as I am." Jaden smirks as they both laugh.
The bus pulls up in front of the labs and all the students step out. As Jaden makes his way to the front a foot sticks out and trips him making him fall to the ground.
"Hey Jaden, did you enjoy your trip?" Zack smirks as most of the people on the bus laugh at him.
"Ugh yeah Zack it was blast." Jaden said sarcastically as he picks himself up.
Walking into the Lab they were all met by a short man with blonde hair.
"Hello students my name is Doctor Otto Octavius and welcome to the Metropolis Science Research Center." He introduced himself.
"Wow Jaden isn't he one of your idols?" Kitty smirks.
"His research in the Atomic fields is incredible." Jaden said in awe.
"Now follow me as I show you some of our greatest accomplishments." Otto said leading them all in. "Everyone pair up into groups and stay together.
"Hey Jaden, you got a partner?" Jaden looks over to see a girl with long red hair walking over. This was Mary Jane Watson or MJ for short she and Jaden have known each other since Kindergarten.
"Nope let's get going." Jaden smiles as they made their way inside.
"Now class this a very recent project we've been working on." Dr. Octavius said pointing to 15 cases with webs in them.
"Spiders?" Miles raises an eyebrow.
"Not just any spiders these Spiders are genetically modified Spiders. We have managed to cross the DNA featuring only the best parts of Spiders as well as some radioactive devices we managed to create these 15 Super Spiders." Dr. Octavius said.
Kitty looks at the cases. "Uh Doc one's missing."
"Excuse me?" Dr. Octavius raises his eyebrows.
"There's only 14." Kitty points.
"Hmm well I guess that one is with the research team." He said looking at the case unaware that high above them the missing spider was in a web.
"If you'll all follow me I'll show you our next exhibit." Dr. Octavius said leading them across the room.
As Jaden looks at the exhibits the Spider spins a web and lowers itself down towards him and lands on his hand.
Jaden looks down but it's too late and the Spider bites him. "Ow!" He said swinging his arm sending the Spider flying away.
Jaden looks at his hand and see a bug bite on it. "Ugh." Jaden groans holding his head as he suddenly felt a giant headache.
Turning around MJ looks to see Jaden struggling to walk forward. "Jaden?" Suddenly Jaden falls to the ground. "Jaden!" She yells getting everyone's attention.
At his house Jaden's mom Maya and a man with short brown hair, this was Ryan Cooper Jaden's dad were in the living room when the door opens to reveal a woozy Jaden.
"Jaden is everything alright?" Ryan asks standing up.
"Ugh I don't feel so good dad I think I'm gonna go up and rest." Jaden said struggling to get up the stairs.
As he did his dad looked at him with concern on his face.
Falling into bed Jaden feels his head beating like crazy as he eventually falls asleep.
The next morning when he wakes up Jaden sees the bug bite had gone away.
"Ugh was all of it a dream?" Jaden asks as he stood up.
Walking over to his desk he opens it to grab a few painkillers but when he does he rips the cabinet out of the desk.
"What the heck?" Jaden said in shock backing up to the wall as he tried to pull it off he felt his hand sticking to the wall. "No way." Jaden moves his other hand up to the wall and then lifts his other as if to climb and soon he was literally hanging upside down from the wall. "This cannot be happening."
"Jaden! Jaden!" His mom calls out from downstairs.
"Whoa!" Jaden slips in shock and falls to the ground. "Okay turns out I'm not dreaming."
Walking down stairs he sees his mom and dad eating breakfast at the table.
"Morning Mom, Dad." Jaden smiles.
"Well someone's looking better." His dad smiles.
"Guess I just needed some rest." Jaden smiles heading to the door.
"Teenage hormones." Ryan smirks.
As the next few weeks went by Jaden discovered many different effects of the Spider Bite. Aside from gaining super strength and reflexes he found he got a special sense that alerts him to incoming dangers or as he called it "his Spider Sense." By breaking down the chemicals in a spider web Jaden actually was able to create a chemical to make spider webs and web shooters.
In school at the cafeteria Jaden was with Miles and Kitty talking.
"So, what do you say guys my place Friday for a movie night my parents will even let us order a pizza." Kitty said.
"You know I'm there." Miles smiles.
"Hey what are you guys talking about?" MJ asks walking over.
"Movie night you in?" Kitty asks.
"Can't I'm meeting this girl named Lois Lane I'm trying to become a reporter." She said.
"I've heard of her she does stories on those students from that Super Hero High." Miles said.
"And where all the excitement is." MJ smiles.
"Well we wish you luck." Jaden smiles.
"Thanks guys." She said walking away.
Jaden reaches to his tray but his sticky hands kick in and he can't seem to let.
'Come on not again.' Jaden thought as he flung the tray off throwing food at Zack who was sitting behind him.
"Uh oh." Miles said worried.
"Run Jaden run now." Kitty said just as worried.
Jaden looks to see Zack who was glaring at him.
"Look Zack I-I swear it was just an accident." Jaden said backing up.
"No, when I'm done with you it'll be an accident." Zack said getting up and storming towards him.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The school chanted as they surrounded the two of them.
Miles and Kitty looked in fear as their best friend was about to get beat up.
Zack throws the first punch, but to Jaden it felt like it was going in slow motion and dodges surprising everyone.
Zack keeps up the punches, but Jaden dodges all of them. As Zack begins to grow tired Jaden punches Zack in the guy knocking him backwards into a table just as teacher walks in.
"COOPER!" He said in anger.
"Oh come on." Jaden groans.
Sitting in the car as his dad drove him home Jaden sat through his dad lecturing him.
"How could you do that? I've raised you better than to be picking fights." Ryan said furious.
"Dad I swear it wasn't my fault. Zack started it I was protecting myself." Jaden said.
"Well you sure as hell finished it." Ryan said.
"What was I supposed to do? Run away?" Jaden asks.
"No, no Jay I know you're changing I went through the exact same thing when I was your age." Ryan said.
"I really doubt that." Jaden said.
"Jaden these are the years a man changes into what kind of person he's going to be for the rest of his life. Look this guy Zack Harrison guy he probably deserved it, but just because you can beat someone up doesn't mean you should. Remember Jaden with great power comes great responsibility."
Jaden sighs. "Alright dad I promise."
"That's my boy." Ryan said clapping his son on the back.
As they drove to a stoplight Jaden looked up at a billboard that read. "Win $3000 by facing the champ."
Seeing this gave Jaden an idea.
In his room Jaden was trying on multiple outfits for the wrestling match.
"With my new powers I'll be a shoe in to win that money." Jaden said as he went through outfit after outfit until he finally found the one that fit. A red mask with a black jacket, black pants and black fingerless gloves.
"Oh yeah I am ready for this." Jaden grins under the mask.
Hooking up his web shooters Jaden fires a web at the mirror and it hits it dead on.
That weekend Jaden told his dad he was going downtown to study at the library. Pulling up to the sidewalk Ryan looks over to his son.
"Now Jaden I really want you to take what I said to heart." Ryan said.
"Yeah yeah Dad I got it with great power comes great responsibility." Jaden said brushing it off.
"I'm serious, Jaden sometimes I worried I don't know who you are anymore." Ryan said.
Jaden turns to his dad and sighs. "I'm sorry dad I really don't mean to make you worry."
"I know you don't and I love you Jay." Ryan said hugging him.
"Love you too dad." Jaden said hugging back.
"I'll be back here tonight." Ryan said as Jaden got out of the car.
"You got it." Jaden smiles.
As Ryan drove off and made a turn Jaden walked in the opposite direction of the Library and went towards the wrestling match.
That night wrestling fans were screaming wild as their champion Bonesaw Mcgee was beating the snot out of another challenger who wanted the money.
From backstage Jaden watches as Bonesaw threw the guy out of the ring and into the stands.
Under the mask Jaden cringes. "Maybe this was a bad idea." Jaden turns around and heads towards the exit when two guards block the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" One asks.
"Uh home." Jaden said.
"Oh no you don't get over there you're up next." He pointed to the stage.
Jaden gulps as the bell dings.
"Alright folks the final round of our competition is about to begin we'll see if our challenger can make it through 3 minutes against our champ!" The announcer said before moving towards Jaden. "What's your name kid?" He whispers.
"Uh I'm The Spider." Jaden said.
"The Spider? Seriously?" He mumbles. "Let's give a warm welcome to Spider-Man!" He yells as Spider-Man enters the arena and the entire crowd boos him.
"Oh man my luck stinks." Jaden sighs as they push him towards the arena.
"Hey freakshow, you're mine for 3 minutes!" Bonesaw said as the crowd cheered, and timer started.
"Listen this is a mistake I want out! Please!" Jaden turns to the ref unaware that Bonesaw grabbed a chair and moved towards him and his Spider Sense goes off. "Uh oh."
He tries to move but it was too late Bonesaw whacks him on the head making Spider-Man fall to the ground in pain.
"Oh, so we can use weapons huh?" Shooting webs from his wrist Spider-Man wraps it around Bonesaw's legs and pulls making Bonesaw fall to the ground.
Getting up Spider-Man climbs onto the ropes and jumps slamming his body down on Bonesaw making him scream in pain.
Shaking Jaden off Bonesaw throws punch after punch, but Spider-Man dodges them. Doing a backflip Jaden kicks Bonesaw in the face before tying him up with his webs.
Charging forward Spider-Man delivers a powerful punch to the face knocking him to the ground.
The ref comes over and does the countdown. "He's down! He is down!"
"And there you have it folks the winner is Spider-Man!" The announcer said.
Walking backstage Jaden was excited to get his money but instead the manager gives him a contract.
"What is this the ad said I'd get $3000 where's my money?" Jaden asks.
"Check again kid you only get the money if you sign to be our newest wrestler if not you get nothing." The manager said.
"But that's not fair." Jaden said.
"Not my problem." He said as Jaden walks out frustrated.
As Jaden went to the elevator a man with brown hair and a scar on his lower lip runs past him.
"Out of my way!" He yells jumping into the elevator. "Thanks kid."
Jaden looks back to the see the manager running over. "What were you doing? That guy robbed me you could've stopped him easy."
"Not my problem." Jaden said leaving.
Walking out onto the street Jaden heads over to the spot where he was supposed to meet his dad when he sees Police cars heading to where a group of people were gathering. Going over to see what happened Jaden looks in shock to see his dad Ryan Cooper laying on the ground.
"Dad!" Jaden yells running over to him. "What happened?!"
"Carjacker, he got shot don't worry paramedics are on there way." A police officer said.
"Come on dad please stay with me please." Jaden begged as his dad opened his eyes.
"Ja-Jaden." He said weakly.
"That's right dad I'm here it's going to be ok." Jaden said with tears in his eyes.
"J-Jaden." Ryan reaches his hand out and grabs his son's hand. "I-I love you."
"I love you too dad." Jaden said as tears forms.
"Take care of your mother." Ryan said as he closes his eyes and loosens his grip.
Jaden's heart shattered at that moment as his father died in front of him when he heard the Police talking behind him.
"We got the shooter he's heading south on 5th avenue with three cars in pursuit." The officer said.
Anger and rage filled Jaden's body as he stood up and ran. Making his way into a dark alley he switches into his Spider-Man outfit and scales the top of the building, when he reaches the top he sees the Police cars chasing the killer in his dad's car.
Looking towards the building across Jaden fires a web and shoots across latching onto the building and jumps off. Jaden fires web after web as he swung across the buildings and lands right on top of the car. Slamming his fist through the hood of the car the killer panics as he swerves around the road losing the cops and crashes into an alley.
Crawling out of the car the killer grabs the money and tries to make a run for it.
"Where do you think you're going?" The killer turns around to see Jaden standing behind ready to rip him apart.
"Please j-just give me a chance." He panics.
"Did you give my father a chance?! Huh?!" Shooting a web he pins the killer to a brick wall and storms towards him. Throwing punch after punch Jaden grab the killer and slams his head against wall making him bleed.
As light shines down Jaden's eyes widen in shock as he sees it was the same guy he let escape from the wrestling match.
"No, no it can't be." Jaden said backing away. "What have I done? What have I done?!"
The killer looks at Jaden in fear as Police Sirens came.
Jaden looks at him and sees his knife on the ground. Picking it up Jaden walks towards him and just as he was about to pull it back and stab him his father's words echo in the back of his head.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
Dropping the knife Jaden shoots a web and leaves the killer to the police who arrive on the scene.
At the top of the roofs Jaden takes off his mask and puts his head in his hands before sobbing.
"I did this, I let him go and he killed my dad. I wish I never got these stupid powers!" Jaden sobbed.
"Sounds like you've had a long night." A male voice said startling Jaden. "Up here." Jaden looks to see a man flying down towards him he was dressed in blue and red tights with a red cape and a large S on his chest.
Jaden's eyes widen in shock as he floats down next to him. "Y-You're Superman."
"Yes I am." He smiles.
"What are you doing here?" Jaden asks.
"Well truth be told I was in town when I heard about the accident I go to the scene of the crime and see you beating up the criminal. By the way that was impressive what you did back there." Superman said.
"What do you mean? I almost killed him and too be honest I wanted to." Jaden said.
"But you didn't, care to tell me why?" Superman asks.
"Because…even if I did take his life it wouldn't change anything or worse I'd be just as bad as him." Jaden admits.
Superman smiles and puts his hand on Jaden's shoulder. "And that choice right there is what separates heroes from villains. Listen I can't tell you how to live your life after tonight. You can go back to your family and try to put this night behind you and go back to your normal life or you can use your gift to help the world."
"Why are you telling me this?" Jaden asks.
"Because like you I thought my powers were a curse and then one day I decided instead of fearing my gift I should use it to help people and right now you have that choice." Superman said.
"My choice I choose...to be a hero. To be Spider-Man!" Jaden said standing up and putting on his mask.
Superman smiles at the young hero's determination. "Well Spider-Man all I can say now is good luck and maybe someday we'll meet again."
"Thanks Superman I really needed that." Spider-Man said holding his hand to shake and Superman gladly returns.
As Superman flew off into the air and Spider-Man returned home.
Flashback end:
And since that day Jaden has protected Metropolis and honored his father's words. Jaden learned what his dad meant and uses it to help people.
"Hey Jaden!" Jaden snaps out of his thoughts to see Miles, Kitty and Mary Jane waving to him.
"You coming or what?" Kitty asks.
Jaden smiles as he grabs his backpack and goes to his friends.
So there you have it. The creation of DC's version of Spiderman. Hope you like the changes I made.
