Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
gunman: Ororo will be the final Marvel woman to join Spidey's harem, girl does need the love and technically it was Diana that saved her so maybe she gets to Peter through Diana perhaps…
justafan: We'll be seeing Superman's reaction to everything soon enough, and part of it will be him laughing at Peter's predicament, it sounds great but as things begin to move along it'll start to be not so great. Keeping a bunch of women happy, some who have issues with each other and less than stellar history and have to sort of share the same guy, fun times ahead.
Zx: Grail has some history with Diana, both being amazons or half amazon in the daughter of Darkseid's case, with Carol whose ran into her in the past when she ran with the Guardians of the Galaxy and even Power Girl to some extent, how and why will be shown later though.
Slash17: No, they haven't really met. Spider-man is aware of Grail and she's somewhat aware of his existence but they've never met before
Ben01: No it's only going to be seven women with many the occasional romp with one of Peter's ex's. But I may introduce a few of the women you've mentioned as Peter's ex that he'll maybe have a tryst with
CRUDEN: We'll be seeing how all of this action he's getting is affecting his Tantric reserves and what not, he is a little more powerful given that how much he gains is in correlation to how much power the woman he's sleeping with is. A regular woman like say MJ, hardly any if at all, but with someone like Diana, it'll be a little noticeable
cabrera1234: It's seven women. Diana, Carol, Dinah, Karen, Ororo, Grail and Lois Lane

"Spider-man… Spider-man… does whatever a spider can" Peter hummed to himself as he swung through the towering skyscrapers of New York City over a week after his, Storm, warbird and Wonder Woman's fight with the self-adapting Sentinel in Central Park
The fight after Warbird and Wonder Woman were taken down went as well as one would expect a fight between a mutant killing war machine with the ability to mimic powers like AMAZO and a weather witch and spider powered guy would go
Lots of broken bones, mainly on Peter's part, some serious burns and not just physical, and a lot of tears and rips in Peter and Ororo's suits that boarded on indecency afterwards before the X-men, or at least three of them showed up and helped Peter, Ororo and a recovered Warbird and Wonder Woman finally destroy the machine which in turn caused Peter, Diana and Carol to go their sepreate ways
Carol had to head down to D.C. because apparently her ex-boyfriend Captain Atom was in a fight with Major Force and needed help and Diana was called away to help Hawkgirl and Hawkman with something about a rogue Amazon or something, leaving Peter to watch the two, and the X-men to fly off into the night sky… after Iceman offered him a ride home and Peter declined, refusing to be seen on one of his ice slides
"Still can't believe Bobby's an Omega level Mutant now… is everyone I know but me getting an upgrade in power?!" Peter whined as he landed on a ledge overlooking a typical traffic jammed street in Manhattan before letting out a groan and looking up towards the sky "Why can't I get some cool power upgrade like uh… like being able to control spiders or something…"
His question was met with silence before he let out a sigh as his shoulders slumped in sadness "Yeah I figured as much… still at least I have a well-paying job that lets me build all kinds of things to help in my Spider-maning… spideying… being a superhero. Heeeeey… I just realized that I'm either becoming Batman or Blue Beetle now!"
He was just about to shoot another webline out and swing by Chinatown to make sure everything was fine given that the Demons have been seen operating there when he suddenly heard a distant explosion beneath him. Peter's eyes narrowed as he glanced down and saw a window to a jewelry store get blasted out before the Shocker and several of his goons burst through the door and made their way to a nearby white van that was apparently their getaway vehicle
"Oh Shocker, first you have poor taste in fashion and now I can add poor taste in cars too" Peter said as he leaped down and angled his body towards the van before flipping in midair and landed on the roof of the van, causing it to cave in slightly under the force of his landing
He could hear the men inside yelp in surprise as he tore off a piece of the caved in roof and stuck his head inside to see the startled faces of Shocker and his goons "Yo Shocky, hope you don't mind if I drop in do ya?"
"Drop this!" Shocker said as he took aim with his vibration gauntlets and fired off a small blast of concussive air that Peter easily avoided by pulling his head back out and leaping off the van and landed in a crouch as the van took off
Peter narrowed his eyes and was just about to shoot of a few weblines to stop it when suddenly his spider-sense went off just as he barely made out the sound of a grenade pin being pulled "Uh-oh…"
KRA-BWOOOMMM!
Peter was sent flying into a taxi that was just passing by, crushing the side of the yellow cab and sending it and himself skidding across the street before crashing into a mailbox. Peter let out a groan as he looked to see the Vulture appear and fly off into the skies
"The hell…?" Peter said with a quirked brow as he saw the bird themed villain take off before his attention was drawn to the sounds of the van that Shocker took ramming through a few cars down the street as they made their getaway "Uh yeah no, not so fast Shocker"
He took aim with his web shooter and shot off a single line towards the bumper of the car and grinned went it snagged the bent metal along with part of the Van's back doors. Peter gave the vehicle a powerful yank and was rewarded with the van's doors and bumper being torn off and causing whoever was driving to lose control… and drive straight into the wall of the Gran Central Station that was just down the block
Peter winced at the impact "Oopsie…"
He then quickly launched himself into the air and swung towards the crash and saw Shocker and over ten of his men, how they could all fit in there Pete didn't want to know, barreled out of the van. Shocker saw the web head coming and narrowed his eyes at the guy as he took aim with his vibro gauntlets and fired of a burst of concussive air that forced Peter to leap out of the way and land on the side of a building
Herman nodded at his accomplishment before aiming at the wall to the Rand Central Station and grinned "this wall is coming down!"
He blasted of a beam of concussive air and was rewarded to a large hole being blow into the building that he and his men quickly fled through while Peter landed before the whole in a crouch and was about to move in when his spider-sense went off again and he leaped out of the way of several bullets tearing into the concrete. He landed don the hood of the van and saw that the driver, a little roughed up but otherwise fine, had been the one to shoot him
"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's impolite to shoot people when their backs are turned, better yet to shoot at people at all?" Peter asked as he punched through the window and grabbed the startled man by the front of his Kevlar vest and yanked him through before tossing him towards a nearby light post and shot off a web bullet that exploded just as the man hit the metal pole, sticking him in place with a large blanket of webbing
"Stick around till the cops get here while I go have a heated discussion with your boss!" Peter said as he leaped through the hole and followed after Herman and his men as several police cars had finally arrived
It it only took a few seconds for Peter to make his way through the make shift tunnel that Shocker made with his gauntlets and quickly rushed up a stair case that was before the tunnel and was greeted to the sight of over two dozen of Shocker's men, several of them were fighting with some of the security guards while dozens of civilians were rushing past Peter towards the nearest exit
"What the hell?" Peter said as he didn't remember seeing this many men before while avoiding being knocked over by a few rushing pedestrians "Okay either I hit my head and I'm seeing doubles or…"
"Or it's me web head!" one of them ne yelled as he removed his ski mask to reveal the still masked face of Danton Black aka Multiplex a man capable of making copies of himself by the power of fission, the opposite of his arch nemesis Firestorm who's powered by Fusion
"Multiplex…" Peter said in a serious expression before he rubbed the back of his neck and his demeanor lightened "That's you right? You're not just Clayface or Sandman in disguise are ya?"
Multiplex growled at the man before making several more copies of him that all charged towards the web head who rolled his eyes "Oh no, a bunch of guys are surrounding me, how will I ever survive this when the other thousand times have failed?"
Peter easily side stepped the fisrt copy and sent a powerful kick into the man's side before shooting a web bullet at another, hitting him in the face before leaping over the group and landing on the shoulders of one of the copies attacking a security guard "sorry, but I'm stealing this one!"
He then kicked off the man, sending him flying into several other copies of Multiplex before landing in a crouch and grabbing the fist of another as it tried to hit him in the face. Peter was momentarily taken back by the superhuman strength that the man possessed but it wasn't anything too serious for the wall crawler
"Then again, the overwhelming numbers aren't helping" Peter mumbled as he shot several weblines out and snagged three Multiplex copies and swung the group into another four before he ducked under a kick from of the duplicates and sent an elbow into the man's gut before kicking him back
"By the way Multiplex, what's a guy like you doing working for a guy like Herman anyhow?" Peter inquired as he avoided a multitude of punches and kicks from four different Multiplex copies before he smacked one away and kicked the feet out from two and webbed the last one up in a ball before using him as a sort of battering ram and knocked two more down
"That's none of your business Spider-man!" Multiplex yelled as he and the last remaining copies visible converged on Spider-man
"Kind of is if your teaming up with one of my baddies, one of my horribly dressed baddies mind you" Peter said as he narrowed his lenses at the surrounding Multiplex copies before a thought came to him 'Hell of a time to see if this will work'
Peter then brought up a small holographic display that his new and improved web shooters, with some very creative insight from Blue Beetle and Mister Terrific came up and he pressed a small symbol before pressing another switch on his suit's utility belt and crouched as all across his body web fluid seemed to be leaking from small capsules placed all over the suit until he looked like he was covered in a cocoon
"What the hell is that?" one of the copies said in surprise before the web cocoon suddenly exploded in a powerful blast of web fluid that sent the fission powered beings back a few meters and ensnared all of the copies around Peter in a thick coating of webs and glued them to the floor
"Sweet it works!" Peter said before frowning as he saw that his suit was torn up a bit by the explosion "Hmm gonna have to work on that… don't want to end up one day accidently blowing my entire suit off and leave me in my spidey tightly whites or worst… the nude"
Jameson would have a field day with that one…
Peter was just about to move to find Shocker when low and behold the horribly dressed villain appeared and sent a blast towards Peter who easily dodged it by leaping on to a nearby pillar and focused his gaze on the infamous bank robber
"Shocker…" Peter said in a serious tone as his lenses narrowed at the man "…We meet again for like what the third this this month, seriously how the hell do you keep making bail?!"
"You can thank the Kingpin for that" Shocker said as he narrowed his eyes at the one New York based hero that's given him and the rest of the New York criminal underworld more grief then the Titans and Teen Titans combined!
"Oh… well how is Fisk anyhow?" Peter asked as he adjusted his place on the pillar "He's not still sore about costing him billions with that whole break up the deal with seven different crime lords from both Europe and Australia, which come to think of it, what's an Australian crime lord like? I mean does he have henchmen that are Kangaroos and pet Dingo's or is that stereotyping?"
Shocker growled at the man before he aimed his vibro gauntlets at the web head and sent a blast towards him that Peter easily dodged by leaping out of the way again and sending several web bullets towards the criminal. Shocker's eyes widened at the incoming projectiles and blasted them out of the air, allowing Peter to land and quickly cover the distance between him and Shocker before he sent a powerful punch towards the man's cushioned head, causing it to snap to the side and for Shocker to grunt in pain before Peter shot out a webline that connected with the man's chest and yanked him forward into a painful kick to the guy
"GAAAH!" Shocker yelled in pain as the wind was knocked out of him and he was sent flying into several of his remaining men that tried to help him only to be pelted by a barrage of web bullets that exploded on impact, incasing them in a large glob of web fluid
Peter stared at the group before loosening his stance and casually approached the webbed up criminals "Oh Shocker when will you and your goons learn, crime never pays"
"Pays better than being some friggin boy scout" Shocker groaned in pain as he found his head stuck to the back of one of his men
"Fair enough, but at least I'm not the one that's going to be doing time" Peter said with a chuckle before crouching down to Herman's level "Now where did Vulture wander off to?"
Shocker narrowed his eyes at the man before he revealed the flying villain's location "An old clock tower on the lower east side"
Peter quirked a brow at that "Huh, willing to give up your partner in crime that easily?"
"If I don't get my cut, Vulture doesn't get his either" Shocker said in a angered tone at being beaten again and this time losing out on millions
Peter nodded at this "Well how about I go pay Tweety a visit while you and your boys here sit here and think about weather this kind of life style is really worth the months if not years in prison"
"I'll be out sooner than you think" Shocker said in a low tone
"Great, that means I'll be able to beat you to a pulp even sooner than I hoped!" Peter beamed before tapping the man on the side of the head with the force of a heavy weight boxer, knocking him out instantly before standing up and turning on his heel to leave when suddenly a woman's voice spoke up
"Spider-man…"
Peter stopped mid stride and turned to see police captain Jean DeWolff approaching him with several officers behind her, several who were already breaking off to apprehend the still down form of Multiplex
"Cap'n" Peter gave the woman a two-finger salute which caused her to grin "How's your day been?"
"Peachy, until I got a call about Spider-man and Shocker tearing into each other at Grand Central Station" Jean said with a sly grin
"Oh…" Peter said before glancing at the down form of Shocker "well he and the Vulture started, I was just finishing it!"
"Oh really?" Jean said as she gestured for her men to keep their weapons on Shocker and his men until they can get them out of here and hopefully a nice long stay at Ryker's…
'Assuming the Kingpin doesn't bail them out… again!' Jean thought with a scowl before she saw Peter leaving "And where are you off to hot shot?"
"Vulture's in a old clock tower on the lower east side, thought I'd go drop in and see how he's doing. Maybe help walk him back to his cell over at Ravencroff, you know, help the elderly and all that" Peter joked before making his way out the main entrance that was being filled quickly by numerous police officers and forensic specialists and shot a webline and swung off into the distance, all the while Jean watched him go with a thoughtful expression on her face
'Hate to see you go, but love to watch you walk away… especially with that ass' Jean thought before she let out a small sigh and turned on her heel and made her way back inside as several more police cruisers and a prisoner transport finally showed up for Shocker and his men
It was then that Jean remembered something and turned to one of her officers "Someone get me a line to Pittsburg's PD so I can let them know that I have one of theirs here!"
