Disclaimer: I'm drunk in a bar right now and even if it's a Disney bar I still don't own Spider-Man.
Webhead season 3 volume 10
Outside that very same warehouse where the wall-crawling hero last confronted his former best friend, the gruesome green goblin our red and blue hero lays down on a rooftop clutching his sides in agony as the 4 grotesque protrusions fluctuate in diameter.
"Aaaahhhhh! What's happening to me?! The jackals serum must have affected me after all but what's it doing to me?!" Spidey shouts in anguish before the pain and protrusions suddenly ceased. 'whatever this is isn't gonna suddenly stop just like that, I gotta find the jackal and get him to fix this while I can before this flares up again.' he mused to himself before starting his desperate rush to midtown high.
In the meantime the black cat has returned to the crime central headquarters currently being run by the rose to fence him one of the rare expensive diamonds she had just recently stolen. "Ah black cat or do you prefer miss hardy? (Cat looks at him with confused shock) yes I know EXACTLY who you are, now what can I do for you?" "I thought you might be interested in this (she holds up the biggest, most expensive one) for a good price of course." "I'll admit I'm intrigued. it was my impression that you and your young boy toy were now both good guy types, what would he think of such dubious dealings?" "Spider wouldn't approve but I can't change who I am, you know." "Very well. Let's get down to business."
When the webhead returned to the sub lair beneath midtown high he found the jackal just waiting there for him. "I was wondering how long it was going to take for you to make it back here. So what affects is my serum having on you?" he said with a sadistic fascination. "I keep having pains in my sides like something about to shout out… What did you do to me?!" "it was a simple sample of advanced spider DNA, I wanted to see what would happen if tried making you a little more spider than man Spider-Man. don't worry I can fix it but I'll need to study your DNA." Spidey reluctantly allowed the mad scientist to take his blood if it meant reversing these effects.
While the jackal was analyzing the wall crawlers blood sample a news report came over the mad doctor's TV about ongoing attacks where the victims were completely drained of blood in the surrounding area of E.S.U. "I've got to go after morbis." "With your growing rate of mutation that's very ill-advised. If you leave now you'll probably never come back." "You did this to him, this is your responsibility and you're going to deal with it." "If you leave now I won't be here when you come back Spider-Man." 'I could be risking a lot here, I might never be able to live my life again but I can't put myself first here, NOT AGAIN NEVER AGAIN. I've got to go after him!' as he left
Liz Allen was just walking back towards her dorm after spending the day out and about in the various shops and restaurants surrounding the university when suddenly a short, skinny man lands in front of her from above, the individual had bleached white skin, piercing red eyes, a bat like nose, and most of all long, sharp fangs. "Aaaahhhhh!" The formerly vapid cheerleader screamed until a red and blue suited man swinged in kicking the vampire entity away but she wasn't gonna stick around now that she could run.
"Michael, please stop giving into this bloodlust! Let me try to help you!" "Help me? With what Spider-Man? I'm all powerful and immortal! These peasants are inferior to me! Small price to preserve my greatness!" Morbis declared wickedly through his thick European accent before flying away. "Michael, come back! Morbius!" The hero called before buckling over in immeasurable pain. The pain and protrusions quickly manifested into the growth of 4 extra arms.
Meanwhile the negotiations between the rose and black cat have evolved into her having a full on job in his organization "and here we have one of my newest assets the hobgoblin!" The crime lord announced to the feline felon as the orange and blue wannabe goblin opportunist flew down to eye level on his air polluting glider. "Well hello my sweet! It's good to be working with you! Hhhaaaaahhhhaaaa!" The criminal laughed maniacally.
The intense pain Spidey had experienced caused him to blackout but when he came to on the rooftop morbius was LONG GONE. 'aahhh my head… What happened? How long have I been out?' the web head drowsily thought while surveying his surroundings before suddenly realizing just how many hands he had rubbing his temples. "What?! Aaaahhhhh! Nnoooooo! I've mutated into some man spider monster!" He quickly made his way back to the lab beneath midtown high hoping against hope the jackal would still be there to help him but alas as the mad scientist promised the facility was abandoned. 'ok, there's only one man who can help me now. Doctor connors.' The troubled hero thought before making his way to the scientists home
Curts life was finally back on track. no lizard problems, no hero and villain fights, he was a respectable scientist teaching again and hey his ex wife Martha even agreed to meet so the LAST thing he needed was to find the web swinging, wall crawling hero Spider-Man sitting in his kitchen clutching his 4 extra arms in what looked like excruciating pain at his sides. "Spider-Man? What's going on? What has happened to you?!" The one armed scientist asked in what was quickly abject horror.
Meanwhile the jackal has set up a new secret lab beneath his home where he's analyzing the blood sample he took from Spider-Man. "Amazing! These patterns suggest neogenics is involved in the wall crawlers creation but much more refined, perfected. Banner. Banner's experiments must have created him, I wonder if this could be the stabilizer I'm looking for in my clones…." The mad scientist pondered the possibilities.
Back at Curts home "I'm sorry Spider-Man but without a blood sample of one of these other neogenic nightmares there's not much I can do to help" the one armed scientist told the masked hero 'mark and moraine have completely disappeared but there's still one more who stalks E.S.U. at night… morbius.' "If I bring you a blood sample of one of jackals victims, do you really think you can help me doc?" "why yes I believe I can but you must hurry, from my tests it looks like this mutagenic process isn't a one time deal. You're still changing and if we don't cure you soon you might become something that won't be human" 'whoa no pressure then. If anyone can cure this is doc Connors! First things first I better find morbius' the hero nodded to the doctor before swinging away on his quest, racing against the clock to cure his ever growing mutation.
Outside one of Empire State University's science buildings Debra Wittman has just finished an experiment and was on her way back to her dorm. She was lost in a whirlwind of thought ranging from if she should have stayed at Columbia to what happened with a budding relationship to one peter parker that flatlined almost immediately with no explanation, she hadn't seen him around outside of class for roughly a month and in class he was always so distracted. However her jumbled thoughts came to a grinding halt when a short young man with giant bat wings landed in front of her with his long greenish hair, pale skin, bat-like nose, and of course his long pointed fangs. "I am sorry my dear but I am starving, I need your blood!" Morbius' told the blonde scientist in his European accent before Spider-Man landed right between them crouched over on the sidewalk in a classic Spidey pose. "You!? What has happened to you?" The vampire asked the now 6 armed hero "Michael I need your help. Please help me and I'll help you, let me help lift your curse!" "Ha Spider-Man I don't need your help, I am not cursed I am blessed. I am all powerful and immortal! I will not be helping the likes of you!" He told the webhead while dragging him up in the sky before throwing him back towards the ground and flying away.
'gotta get back to morbis, if I lose him now I could lose everything!' Spidey thought as he desperately try to follow the flying vampire man before… "aaahhhhh the pain! Nooo! Nottt nowwww!" The hero clutched desperately at his sides before falling out of the sky again and landing in an old stark warehouse.
In crime central black cat has been trying to get ahold of Spider-Man for while she will always be a thief at heart she's not actually going to work for the rose but is really trying to take him down from within. "Come on spider pick up, ah why won't you answer?" She voices her concerns when a notification for triple j news pops up on her phone covering many eyewitness reports of spidey's ongoing mutation. "my god spider what happened to you? That creep jackal must be responsible, that creep who works for Rose hhmmmm ..."
As Spidey collapsed inside the abandoned stark warehouse he began to mutate like crazy with his extra arms transforming in gray hairy claws but right before he completely turned into a giant man-spider he noticed the lab wasn't as abandoned as it looked. His last human thought before he completely turned was 'doctor Banner…?' before his mind went blank.
A/N: well here's this, lots of references to the 90s cartoon neogenic nightmare arc here, black cat slipping back into old habits but still carrying out her new ones, the jackal has Spider-Man's blood I wonder what that could mean(don't slip on the sarcasm I haven't mopped it up yet) and of course the former introduction of a post hulk banner. Remember it was banner who made the neogenic gamma super spiders that created Spider-Man here so I thought this would be a good time to bring him into the story since the Hulk and Spider-Man were born on the same day and hulk's been on the run ever since. What's next for our now spider monster hero and his new jekyll and Hyde pal? Ok i'm about to pass out drunk,Until next time true believers!
