The incident before 1st period has boosted him up to 154, but it wouldn't last for long. He needed to get further upwards. First, he tried to step in a heated moment to fix an argument. It backfired. Then he started telling jokes, but he forgot about his social awkwardness, which actually affected his acting. It backfired. He then started doing gymnastics using his powers, when Flash suggested joining the Gymnastics Club, which is full of girls. It backfired. Throughout the day, he continued these desperate attempts which continuously failed. By the end of the school day, he was beginning to drop back down. He had to be quick. He then remembered his old yearbooks from the previous years, which he could use as a guide. He looked through them to find the 'Class Favourites' page. There were different things to be a class favourite for, so the students got to vote who would be which role. Most kids who won the votes would be popular kids, so Max knew them and their traits very well. If he could do what they did to get their roles, he could get further up the popularity scale! It was a perfect plan, but would have to wait for tomorrow. Because right now, he had to Spider around the city.
Meet L. Thompson Lincoln. What seems to be an innocent politic, is the Big Man of crime. Known as simply 'The Big Man', or 'Tombstone', the latter being his favourite, he controls all crime in New York, and this 'Spider-Man' character has caught his eye. He has potential. He has a few...mutants under his control, and he wants Spider-Man to join them. As a politic, he can look into cameras scattered around the city. But he soon learns that Spider-Man isn't in Manhattan. He's in Queens. Odd, for a super-powered mutant to be in such a place. Dismissing this, he looked through cameras upon cameras before finding Max (As Spider-Man) on one of them. He followed Max through the cameras, spectating his movements, his abilities, his...humour. 'He's superior to the others...I must recruit him.' But he couldn't just let him on the team, he had to make sure he could take big-time stuff. He decided to send one of his...villains to get him. He would send a drone to record everything and if Spider-Man won, he would send another villain. And another, until he had defeated all of the villains he had. Once that'd happen, he would offer Spider-Man a handsome salary which he would undoubtedly accept.
