A/N: In the last chapter, Spider-Boy fought Mysterio and he ended up getting beaten pretty bad. But backup from the other dimensions that were also being invaded came to help. Iron-Spider, Scarlet Spider, Spider-Girl, Noir Spider-Boy, and 2099 Spider-Boy. In this chapter, we will get to see some of the origins of the different Spider-Boys and girl from the other dimensions (Other dimensions mean different origins) Enjoy!
(Normal P.O.V.)
Upon arriving at the penthouse, Peabody, Elsa, and Mary Jane were shocked to see so many Shermans, as well as Sherrie and Hayden. Also, seeing Sherman in his underwear, and in a damaged state, Elsa and Mary Jane cleaned him up and put him in his black and dark blue 'Top Pot' baseball t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and navy blue Converse trainers. They put some bandages on him before putting his clothes on him, the only bandage that was visible was one that was put across his nose.
"Sorry for keeping you all waiting" said Sherman as he entered the living room with a cold can of Coke Zero in his hand and took a sip. All the other Shermans, Hayden, and Sherrie looked to see the original Sherman enter the room.
Everyone was dressed out of their suits and into their normal clothes. Sherrie was wearing a black tank top with a gray wool cardigan over it, and she wore dark blue skinny jeans that had patches on the knees, and she had black running shoes on her feet.
Hayden was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with gray pants, and he had combat boots on. Sherrie wouldn't stop staring all dreamily at him (Clearly thinking about HER Hayden from her own Dimension).
Iron-Spider Sherman wore all black, his shirt had long sleeves too, only it had the logo for 'Linkin Park' in gray letters, and his shoes were like this dimension's Sherman, only they were black.
2099 Sherman was wearing a baseball t-shirt too, only the sleeves were red and the middle part was white, with a big black '56' on the front. And his jeans were dark red and had some black in it as well. His shoes were red and blue basketball shoes, like the color of his suit.
Noir Sherman was wearing a black leather jacket that was halfway zipper up and his pants were black, he was wearing black steel-toed combat boots on his feet.
"No problem" said Hayden as the others sat down on the couches. Sherman took another sip of his drink and cleared his throat as he sat down.
"Okay, so I figured that we would take this moment to introduce each other to ourselves and explain how we got our powers, you know" Sherman said. Sherrie stood up.
"I might as well go first. My name is Sherrie Peabody, I am Spider-Girl. I was on a field trip to 'McClaine Tech' one year for school and Percy Peterson thought it would be funny to lock me in a closet filled with genetically enhanced spiders when I hate them. Hayden got me out of there and one spider came out and bit me on my neck. Ever since then, I became a superhero that's been well known throughout New York and Hayden McClaine and I have been dating ever since" Sherrie said sitting back down into her seat. Iron-Spider Sherman was the next to stand up.
"I'm Sherman Stark" said Iron-Spider Sherman. Regular Sherman stood up.
"Wait, Stark? You weren't adopted by Mr. Peabody?" he asked.
"Well, I was, but for a short while. Four years ago someone launched an attack on the penthouse home and Peabody died. One blast of a grenade took out my heart and I had to replace it... with this" Iron-Spider Sherman told as he lifted his shirt up to reveal a glowing blue circular object in the middle of his chest that brightened and dimmed like a heartbeat would do. Once he put his shirt back down, Iron-Spider Sherman kept on talking.
"I woke up in the hospital and found out that Tony Stark, a friend of Mr. Peabody's gave me this ARC light to replace my heart. He explained how it worked and what happened to me" said Iron-Spider Sherman as he continued on with his story.
"After I got out of the hospital, I was supposed to be assigned to a new guardian. In court, the will said that my custody was to be given to Tony Stark, same guy who gave me a new heart" said Iron-Spider Sherman.
"And how did you get your powers?" asked the original Sherman.
"I never got bitten by a spider, I had a fascination with them. Mr. Stark let me keep like fifteen Spiders as pets in my own bedroom. And he helped build me a robotic suit that had a lot of heavy duty weapons and gave it a spider-esque theme to it. I used that suit to bring the people who killed Mr. Peabody to justice, and Iron-Spider has been protecting people ever since" Iron-Spider Sherman then sat down. Hayden got up next.
"My name was Hayden McClaine, and I'm assuming my dimension is a role-reversed version of yours" Hayden said and pointed to the original Sherman.
"So that means you were adopted by Mr. Peabody?" asked Sherman. Hayden nodded and continued.
"Got bitten by a genetically enhanced spider while snooping in Mr. Peabody's lab when I shouldn't have been. And in my universe, I call myself Scarlet Spider, while you call yourself Spider-Boy in your own universe" Hayden said.
"And I'm guessing that I'm the Green Goblin in your own dimension?" Sherman asked.
"Correct" Hayden answered.
"And does that mean..." Sherman was about to ask a question but Hayden cut him off.
"Yes, I'm dating Penny Peterson in my dimension. Sorry that I stole your girl in my own dimension" Hayden said as he sat down. His story was brief and simple, just a role-reversed version of Sherman's own dimension.
"I guess I'm next" Noir Sherman said as he stepped up.
"My last name is still Peabody, but my world is still inhabited by slime. My dimension has a more... Gothic take on your dimension, and I mean the 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' and 'Wolfman' kind of Gothic. I did get bitten by a spider, and my version of Hayden was a mad scientist who was conducting experiments to turn people into super soldiers with different kinds of weapons he designed himself. So, I became Spider-Boy to defend the people from the monsters who intend to cause damage and harm the innocent" Noir Sherman said as he sat back down. The only one left was 2099 Sherman.
"My name is Sherman Peabody XV" said 2099 Sherman. This meant that this Sherman was a descendant of the original.
"My dad owned Peabody Enterprises, but later on we merged with another company and we renamed the company 'Alchemax' it was a company dedicated to making new scientific discoveries as well as make scientific weapons for our military. One of those experiments was the genetically enhanced spider experiment and while working there I found myself getting bitten by one that fell off it's web. And then I set myself out to protect the people of the future" said 2099 Sherman.
"Wait future? What's the future like?" asked Sherrie.
"Remember the planet Coruscant from the 'Star Wars' movies? It's a lot like that. We've got cars that can fly, bridges connected to each building. And the legal drinking age is ten, and I'm twelve" said 2099 Sherman.
"Okay, remind us not to give you any alcohol" the original Sherman said.
"Legal drinking age is still twenty one in your dimension?" asked 2099 Sherman. Original Sherman nodded.
"Shock it!" 2099 Sherman called out in frustration. The other Shermans, Hayden, and Sherrie were confused.
"Shock?" asked Iron-Spider Sherman.
"We say 'Shock' in the place of all other swear words in the future" said 2099 Sherman. The original Sherman then spoke up.
"Well, what do you remember before the portals to your own dimensions before they opened?" asked the original Sherman.
"Well, I was fighting the Green Goblin" said Hayden
"I was fighting the Rhino" Iron-Spider Sherman said.
"I was fighting Dr. Octopus" said Sherrie.
"I was fighting with Venom" said Noir Sherman.
"And I was busy trying to take down the Lizard" 2099 Sherman said. The original Sherman spoke up.
"Wait, those villains you guys were fighting, those are villains I already took out, and they died" said the original Sherman. Sherrie then spoke up.
"Well, then that means that there was one you didn't take out yet and they didn't die" said Sherrie.
"Yeah, maybe that's it. Which one was it?" asked Noir Sherman asked.
"It was Carnage" said the original Sherman said.
"WHAT!?" the other five exclaimed.
"You mean you just took Carnage to jail and decided not to kill him?" Hayden asked with annoyance in his voice.
"I killed him by kicking him off the side of a building and he got impaled with a exhaust pipe from a truck, and the symbiote died because the host didn't survive getting stabbed. But you just decided to destroy the symbiote and take Hans to jail!?" Sherrie exclaimed.
"I did what I had to, besides, my aunt Elsa would have gone to jail if I didn't provide proof that she was illegally tested on. Hans was that proof, I had to keep him alive" said the original Sherman in his own defense. 2099 Sherman stood up.
"Listen, let's not go off pointing fingers. I think there is a scientific explanation to this. Since Carnage was the only villain Sherman didn't kill, it means one of our other enemies that the original Sherman already fought and killed lived in our own universes" said 2099 Sherman. The others looked at each other and nodded. It was a reasonable explanation.
"So then that means, what happens to the original Sherman in his dimension, affects US in our own dimensions" said Noir Sherman said.
"Now that I can believe" said Sherrie. The original Sherman spoke up.
"Alright, as you can probably tell from what you saw in Yankee Stadium, Mysterio kicked the crap out of me that he burned my suit off and left me with some damage. So I'm no match for him by myself" said the original Sherman.
"What if we could help you?" asked Hayden as he stood up.
"What? Why?" asked the original Sherman.
"One Spider-Boy alone couldn't take down Mysterio, but what if he could be taken down by six Spider-Boys?" asked Hayden. The original Sherman then smiled.
"Alright, I'm in" the original Sherman said putting his hand down on Hayden's. Sherrie got up and put her hand on top of the original Sherman's.
"I'm in too" Sherrie said. Noir Sherman came up and put his hand on top of Sherrie's.
"I'm all in for it" said Noir Sherman. 2099 Sherman then was the next one to get up and put his hand on top of Noir Sherman's.
"Anything that will keep our dimensions, and the world safe" said 2099 Sherman. Iron-Spider Sherman then got up and put his hand on top of 2099 Sherman's.
"Save some butt for me to kick because I'm in" said Iron-Spider Sherman. They then retracted their hands back and the original Sherman spoke.
"Suit up everyone, we've got work to do and bad guys to take down" said the original Sherman. Everyone nodded and went to change into their suits.
The original Sherman got one of the replacement suits that Peabody helped him make from the closet and put it on. Spider-Boy then saw that Spider-Girl, Iron-Spider, Noir Spider-Boy, 2099 Spider-Boy, and Scarlet Spider were ready to go.
A/N: Oh yeah, now we know of the origins of the other heroes fighting alongside Sherman and ready to fight Mysterio to save their own dimensions. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
