Chapter 04: The Imposter Part 1

Spider-Man was humming as he laid in a web hammock late in the evening with his cell phone out, playing Fruit Ninja in boredom.

He managed to scare some info out of a guy he arrested, saying that there was going to be a hit on an old Warehouse so he was waiting for it to start, but until then he was bored.

There wasn't really any crime to stop, thankfully that meant he was making a bit of an impact, but he wished that they could just start already-.

Spider-Sense going off, Spider-Man turned the game off and pocketed the phone in time to see some cars pull up to the warehouse. "Showtime." Spider-Man muttered jumping off the hammock and landing on the building it was attached to.

If he used his web shooters, chances are these guys would hear it so he had to be stealthy.

Especially since these guys didn't look anything like the regular run of the mill crooks that he's been fighting for the last month if their guns and armor were of any indication.

'Maybe I'll get a challenge?' Spider-Man silently thought, now jumping to the roof of the warehouse where he ripped the grate off an air vent and crawled inside.

Once inside, he saw the doors opening to show eight armed men coming in. "Alright silent alarm is off, find what we came here for and get out." The leader ordered.

Spider-Man frowned at this and silently walked across the bars above them, noting how even though they split up they stayed in pairs.

These guys weren't going to be easy and he wasn't confident enough in his abilities to continually dodge gunfire from all eight of them.

'Have to plan out my attack this time.' Spider-Man was a bit grateful to the change of pace as he's only dove in and trusted his 'Spider-Sense' to guide him out.

Making sure the hood was over the mask, Spider-Man calmly reached towards the belt he had and pulled out a small camera to take some pictures of the men, that way he can try to find out who they were.

'Note to self, work on my web shooters to make them quieter.' Spider-Man thought crawling down on the wall right behind two guards and quickly slammed their heads together to knock them out.

He idly saw an insignia on one of the arms and froze.

These guys were Talon, a terrorist organization that got into conflicts with Overwatch.

'Oh boy, I really stepped deep into it this time.' Spider-Man thought to himself quickly checking them over to see if they had something that would tell him what they were after but to his dismay there was nothing. 'No biggie, there are six people left, I'll leave one conscious and get the info-.'

"Hold up, Group B report." Spider-Man froze at hearing a com in one of the helmets. "Your vitals are too low report… Group A check them out."

Cursing to himself, Spider-Man quickly scaled the wall in time for two more agents to come in and see the unconscious members. "Shit, we're not alone someone is here with us! I repeat someone is here with us."

Now knowing that they will be actively searching for him, Spider-Man looked around to try and pick them off when they weren't near each other.

Eventually two more passed underneath him and Spider-Man dropped down, kicking one right into the wall with enough force to knock him out before sucker-punching his friend.

Spider-Sense flaring, Spider-Man contorted his body and jumped from place to place to dodge gunfire courtesy of the last four, stealth now out the window so he shot his web shooters, rendering the guns useless.

"Wow you guys have no manners at all," Spider-Man mocked jumping to dodge a punch. "And here I was about to welcome you to the neighborhood and you do this, for shame."

Spider-Man finally knocked three of them out and casually walked towards the last one who quickly grabbed a pistol before he was disarmed and webbed to the wall where Spider-Man leapt onto and looked hunched over as he stared at the man who was slowly getting freaked out.

"What are you doing?!" The Talon Operative demanded wanting him to stop looking at him like that.

"The spiders."

The Talon Operative blinked in confusion. "What?" He asked not expecting that answer.

"Think about my name, you know who I am?" Spider-Man asked as the man gave a hesitant nod. "Then you know I have the abilities of a spider, but I can also produce a pheromone to control actual spiders and call them to my aid if needed."

That was actually a lie, but this guy didn't know that.

"Now do you know how it feels to have thousands of spiders crawling all over you?" Spider-Man asked casually, seeing the man getting very uncomfortable. "Especially before they bite you and I think I can sense a few Brown Recluses-."

"Alright I'll talk just call them off!" The Talon Operative screamed earning a chuckle from Spider-Man.

"See was that so bad?" Spider-Man dropped off the wall and got in front of the man. "Now what is Talon after here? I'm pretty sure it isn't for the view."

"We're after a prototype weapon that the Kingpin is working on." The Operative asked earning a confused look.

"The Kingpin? He exists?"

The Kingpin was normally just an Urban Myth but Spider-Man was willing to believe it was true considering he was a bit of an 'Urban Myth' himself.

The man gave a nod.

"Alright what weapon?"

"It's the-." A gunshot went off silencing the man causing Spider-Man to tense and turn around to see three people.

"Mighty fine work partner but we'll take it from here." The one who spoke was a man who seemed to have a bit of a cowboy fetish with the hat and everything while next to him was a young man in black suit holding two pistols, one of them smoking and the last one was a huge guy with big muscles. "So get."

"Who the heck are you three?" Spider-Man asked barely able to keep bile down from the Talon guy being shot in front of him.

He was planning on calling the police on this guy along with his friends, but these guys just shot him dead.

"That ain't any of your business compesh?" The cowboy calmly lifted his hat up to glare. "Now I ain't tellin' you again to leave."

"Sorry but I'm not too keen on leaving after what you just did," Spider-Man tensed his spider-sense going off. "Now answer me this, which one is Curry? Which one is Larry? And which one is Moe?"

"Heh, got a real smartass here." The big guy cracked his knuckles. "Montana let me at him."

The cowboy sighed. "Very well Ox, let's show him what happens when you mess with the Enforcers."

Like a switch, Ox ran forward while the last guy who has yet to be named began firing his pistols causing Spider-Man to react before he had to dodge a whip of some kind from Montana, nearly getting his arm caught.

'These guys are pretty different from anyone I've fought.' Spider-Man realized as despite his warning senses and agility he was hard pressed to fight all three of them. 'I better take the big guy out first-.'

With that Spider-Man punched his gut with enough force that would knock a normal person out but the web head ended up hurting his own fist much to his surprise while Ox grinned and punched Spider-Man back.

'Okay no way anyone can punch that hard.' Spider-Man thought before the whip wrapped around his throat and tightened, leaving it hard to breathe. 'Definitely not like the other mooks.'

"Dan take care of him." Montana ordered with the last guy aiming his pistol only for Ox to block him.

"Hang on, I need some exercise." Ox cracked his knuckles and walked towards where Spider-Man was trying to get the whip off of his neck. "Can't believe this freak has the balls to come into our neighborhood looking like that."

"Ox, I gave an order." Montana said coldly.

"Come on just one more punch." Ox raised his fist and Spider-Man reacted quickly by jumping up despite the leash he was now sporting, landing on Ox's back and kicked him right into Montana to get free of the whip.

Landing on the ground he shot webbing at Dan, knocking the pistols away and spun around, causing for him to fly into his buddies where Spider-Man webbed them to the wall.

"God, what is this stuff?!" Ox asked struggling in the webbing while Spider-Man was rubbing his now sore throat.

"Geez, now I get that you probably have a whip fetish but leave me out of it." Spider-Man muttered before hearing sirens. "And that's my cue to get going, see ya Stooges."

With that he swung out the door, ignoring the baffled officers who just got there.


Spider-Man sighed as he pulled the mask off in his bedroom, looking more annoyed than tired.

But he was also happy.

He actually took down a group of Talon thugs as well as these 'Enforcer' guys so he was content for now.

"I should get some sleep for class tomorrow." Peter muttered seeing it was one in the morning before he saw his computer blinking to show that a message was waiting for him.

A little confused, Peter changed out of his Spider-Man costume and into a white t-shirt and boxers before opening it to see Harry on chat with a game headset on. "No, no! Damn it."

"Harry? What are you doing calling me at one in the morning?" Peter asked giving him a look.

"Oh hey Pete, you just got back from your activities?" Harry asked with a grin.

"Yeah, so how's it going at bachelor pad Osborn?" Peter asked considering Harry was officially living on his own, renting a flat out while he was going to college.

"It's not really a bachelor pad yet but it's getting there." Harry answered with a shrug. "My offer's still open for you to room with me."

"I know but I can't, not yet." Peter glanced towards the door.

Harry got what he meant. "Hey I understand, you need to be there for your Aunt after what happened." He said giving a nod.

"So what game are you playing?"

"StarCraft II, but I keep getting my butt kicked." Harry complained as Peter shook his head. "Hey you have a copy?"

"Harry I don't have time to play games." Peter said although he sounded hesitant.

He never really played games growing up, so he didn't know how he would do with one.

Picking up on the hesitation, Harry grinned. "Come on, I need help if I want to stand a chance against D. Va."

Peter blinked, the name sounding vaguely familiar although he couldn't put a finger on it. "Who?"

"You know, D. Va? The Reigning Gaming Champion in South Korea?" Harry pushed before Peter snapped his fingers.

"Oh you mean that pilot of the MEKA Armor?"

"Figures you know her from that." Harry shook his head with a chuckle. "But yeah, those pilots were chosen from the top Gamers in Korea and she's the best."

"So you're trying to get a guy who's never played a video game in his life to help you fight a reigning champion?" Peter deadpanned causing Harry to stare.

"Wait, never?" Harry asked in shock. "That's it, you're playing this tomorrow."

Peter rolled his eyes and sighed. "If you say so," He said before deciding to do some research and opened his web browser to type in Kingpin.

But all he got was the usual Urban Myth stuff.

"Great." Peter muttered minutes later, earning a confused look from Harry who just won a round that didn't involve D. Va.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing just trying to find out who this Kingpin is." Peter muttered with Harry taking a drink of his soda, the answer though caused Harry to choke and spit the soda out.

"The Kingpin?! Man Pete you don't do things halfway do you?" Harry looked shocked. "I mean taking on Fisk?"

Peter paused and closed out the web browser. "How do you know who the Kingpin is?"

"He tried to intimidate Dad one time to sell Oscorp, but Dad wouldn't have it." Harry shrugged, now exiting out of the game so he could focus on the conversation on hand. "Fisk didn't take to kindly to that."

"Wow that's actually pretty sweet," Peter said amazed at how Harry's Dad said no to the King of crime in New York-. "Wait Fisk? As in Wilson Fisk the Humanitarian?"

"The very same, he owns most of the companies in New York, all the media shares and apparently half the police are on his payroll." Harry said with a shrug causing Peter to tightly grip his desk at that. "So why are you going after Fisk?"

"I wasn't originally, but earlier tonight Talon broke into one of his warehouses to steal a weapon and I stopped it along with fighting a weird trio called the Enforcers." Peter said and now Harry was nearly imitating a goldfish. "What?"

"Talon and the Enforcers?" Harry muttered shaking his head. "Alright Pete, I think you're getting way too deep into something like this."

Peter just shrugged at that.

Hey he thought he was just stopping a run of the mill robbery when he went in and it escalated.

"Well thanks for the info but I need to get some sleep so I can stay awake in class tomorrow, see you Harry." Peter said standing up to stretch.

"No problem, Pete I'm going to continue to try and beat D. Va."

Peter chuckled, clicking out.

If this D. Va was a reigning champion, Harry would have his work cut out for him if he wants to beat her.


The Chameleon was stroking his chin while he watched his next target to impersonate.

The last few days he's been stealing blueprints to a new missile program and almost had them all, he just needed one last part of the plans and he would be all set.

It was one of his personal jobs instead of something that Talon had him doing-.

Hearing a beep, Chameleon sighed.

Speak of the devil.

"Chameleon here." The Master of Disguise said pressed the button on the PDA that Widowmaker left with him.

"I have a job for you." A dark, raspy voice spoke up.

Chameleon froze, knowing that voice despite never personally meeting the one behind it. "Reaper," He greeted politely knowing that this man wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he said the wrong thing. "As much as I'm intrigued by this job, I'm in the middle of enacting another one."

"Think of this job as an added bonus." Reaper rasped out with a chuckle. "I'm sending you the info."

Soon a screen popped up on the PDA to show Spider-Man systematically taking down the Talon Agents as well as the infamous Enforcers for the Kingpin. "Hello?" Chameleon mused watching the fight a bit intrigued.

While he's been around for awhile, he's never had the chance to test his skills against someone attempting to be a hero as Overwatch disbanded right before he began his career after his training.

He could use the challenge.

"This Spider-Man is a problem and Talon wants him gone." Reaper told him, causing the Chameleon to frown.

"If you want him dead why not send Widowmaker after him?"

Reaper laughed a bit sadistically. "Oh Talon doesn't want him dead, that would make him a martyr, we want him destroyed image and all."

Now Chameleon got it and he smirked.

Looks like he found the perfect fall guy for this heist he was planning.


"So let's see what our esteemed competition are up to." A man said the next morning, holding up a paper of the New York Globe.

'Webbed Wonder takes on Terrorist Organization.'

"Huh and let's see what the Journal is posting." The same man held up another paper.

'Spider puts webs on Criminals.'

"And what pray tell did the Bugle post?" The man held up one last paper.

'The Kingpin: Myth or Reality?'

"Some idiotic story about an Urban Myth." The man slammed down the paper to show a middle-aged man with black hair that was gray on the sides and a Hitler mustache, wearing a blue plaid shirt and black slacks, a cigar in his hand.

The other people in the room went silent, knowing how this man was as he turned to look out the window.

"Somewhere out there, there's a guy dressed in spandex calling himself Spider-Man fighting a group of Terrorists," He continued with a smirk. "Now that's fantastic, that's what sells paper not some myth on the Kingpin that's been done to death."

He ignored the indignant look of one of his reporters with auburn hair and a goatee at what was said about the Kingpin.

"I want to know his name, his reasons for doing this," J Jonah Jameson, the editor of the Daily Bugle demanded, his workers listening. "Are the rumors of his wall-crawling true? Why did he change from being an entertainer to being an Overwatch wannabee?"

Now Jameson slammed a hand on the conference table. "Ulrich I want you on this story." He ordered the man with auburn hair for his eyes to widen.

Ben Ulrich frowned at that. "But Jameson, I-."

"The Kingpin isn't hot news and this isn't gossip hour, the people want to know about Spider-Man, so we're going to give them Spider-Man," Jameson interrupted hotly, not taking no for an answer. "I want him on the Front Page-."

"Jameson we don't have a picture, none of our photographers can get a clear one of him." A dark skinned man wearing a white shirt and black vest interrupted causing Jameson to glower.

"What about Brock, isn't that his department Robertson?"

"Not even Eddie has been able to get a lock on this guy, he's like a ghost." Joseph 'Robbie' Robertson told him. "Look at the other papers, all of them are blurry because Spider-Man is always on the move."

Jameson scowled at that. "Fine then put an ad in the paper offering money for pictures of Spider-Man, there has to be someone out there who can get a picture of that elusive web head," He barked causing Robbie to give a nod before Jameson took a puff of his cigar and turned back to the window. "Hero or Villain, Con Artist or Crook, one way or another people won't get enough of Spider-Man."


"Man you look like the walking dead?" Peter remarked while he and Harry were making a quick stop at the Coffee Bean, a student shop that was on Campus for a caffeine pick-me up.

"Shut up." Harry grumbled under his breath, giving a yawn. "I kept getting destroyed last night."

Peter chuckled at him. "So you just decided to stay up all night to keep trying? You do know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result right?"

Harry didn't even bother responding to that, just giving a grunt while they entered-.

"Oh this is too rich."

Peter froze at that voice. 'Oh no.' He thought slowly turning only to gain a dismayed look.

Flash Thompson was in front of him.

"What are you doing here, Parker?" Flash asked just as surprised as him.

Kong laughed next to him. "I think you have a stalker, Flash."

'Right Flash has been more insufferable ever since I flipped him after getting my powers.' Peter rolled his eyes knowing that Kong was right behind him.

But he smirked.

He could definitely defend himself now. "Sorry but he's not my type." Peter returned the taunt causing Flash to glare.

Harry was mostly staying out of this do to feeling that it was too early for that crap, but he had a grin at the quick comeback.

"Still a smart-mouth huh Puny Parker?" Flash asked but Peter raised a brow.

"I'm not so puny anymore Eugene." Peter said crossing his arms.

Now Flash looked pissed at hearing his real name while Kong chuckled. "Oh snap."

Flash got in Peter's face. "You're really pushing it Parker."

Undeterred, Peter glared right back surprising Flash as this was usually the point where some fear showed in his eyes. "No, I'm just sick of being pushed around."

Feeling his Spider-Sense going off, Peter tensed to duck a punch but Flash just chuckled.

"Alright you think you're so tough then meet me at the boxing gym in the city around six tonight unless you're chicken." Flash said surprising Peter considering the jock never hesitated on messing with Peter only to turn as Flash passed him, bumping his shoulder in the process and saw why.

A teacher was nearby.

"Wow, you actually stood your ground against Flash." Harry said sounding amused.

"Hey after Talon, Flash is nothing." Peter said with a wave of his hand. "So what are we getting?"

"I'm thinking of a Caramel Macchiato." Harry mused aloud.


During Lunch Break, Spider-Man began swinging through the city for his usual patrol, doing a flip as he shot another web line, while talking on the phone with his Aunt. "Alright, so you need me to get Milk, Bread and Eggs?" Spider-Man asked over the phone, landing on a street pole. "Anything else?"

"No, that's all we need Peter, thank you for offering." May said over the phone.

Spider-Man laughed. "It's no problem Aunt May, I'm happy to help." He said jumping back in the air.

"I kno-where are you at?" May changed the conversation sounding confused. "It's windy."

"Oh just on the bus with the window down." Spider-Man lied before his spider-sense went off and he looked to see a guy entering a gas station with a pistol out. "Hey I have to go it's my stop, I'll call you later."

"Just be safe Peter." May told him causing Spider-Man to wince.

"Always." Spider-Man promised, hanging up.

With that done, he pocketed the phone into the belt and swung down there to see the man demanding for money to be put in the bag he was holding.

"You know there are better ways to win the lottery." Spider-Man quipped causing the robber to turn to him and the web head didn't even give him a chance to answer as he socked him in the jaw, forgetting his strength for a moment and sent the man flying right through an aisle dropping the gun.

"Uh not that I'm ungrateful but wasn't that a bit much?" The clerk asked a bit fearfully while Spider-Man quickly checked to see that the pistol was unloaded.

"I didn't think I could hit him that hard-." Spider-Man stopped seeing that the guy was barely breathing. "Call an Ambulance!"


Meanwhile across town Chameleon was inside of a secure building dressed in a Spider-Man costume with a smirk as he used some special effects to make it seem like he was shooting webs.

"Thank you for these," He taunted the man who was tied up with the makeshift webs, while they weren't as strong as the real Spider-Man's webs no one should tell the difference. "The right people will pay handsomely for this."

"I-I don't believe it you're a traitor to your own country?!" The man yelled as 'Spider-Man' left the room knowing that he had to disappear quickly, while feeling elated that he just framed a Superhero for treason.

Soon he will sit back to watch the fireworks from his fruits of labors.

To Be Continued…

Well things are getting a bit heated up with the Chameleon making his reappearance in framing Spider-Man along with Spidey now realizing just how strong he really is and he also took on both Talon and the Enforcers this chapter-before anyone says anything about him not being strong enough to take down Ox read Ultimate Spider-Man # 9 where that actually happened.

Plus I hope you liked the scene with him against Talon as I drew inspiration from the Batman Arkham games for that one and we also have a few more mentions like D. Va and we now have Reaper being in this story even if it was just his voice.

Now let me answer the reviews real quick.

Retrokill: Yeah, it was pretty tough writing the scene with Ben dying but it was necessary for the Spider-Man origin.

Guest4: Thank you and I hope to continue keeping this up.

Couch: Thank you and it's not easy posting it everyday with how I'm making this up as I go, so I can't promise to keep it up forever.

Diegoarturobarrerapantaleon: Thank you for both the support and the ideas on the pairing.

Kid-N7: Thank you, happy you liked the origins, here's hoping that the Imposter Arc will go just as well, as for Harry in terms of what happens with his father, I'm still debating what to do there. Nice OC, I thought I recognized the Dorian name due to watching Almost Human, wish they didn't cancel that, although I've never really watched Aliens so I didn't get Bishop until you told me. I think I can have his character be introduced soon. Oh and yes both Junkrat and Roadhog will come into play soon.

Aztec 13: Thank you and no I don't plan to add any of the other heroes unless it would add to the story like Daredevil with Kingpin. But I might change my mind in the future.
