Hello everyone, this my fanfic of Spectacular Spiderman, I know a lot of people have already written their own versions of this show, but I wanted to write my own because this is the best Spiderman show of all time, period, and of course it got cancelled way too soon, I hope this show comes back some day, even if it comes in comic book form, I'll read it, one of the reason's I'm writing this story is because the show ends on the most depressing ending of all time, like for real, it feels like everyone just hates Spiderman/Peter at the end of the season.
If this show comes back, I want the original cast and creators to make the show again, they all deserve better than a cancelled show, I also don't want all the episodes to be depressing, some people on the internet said that and I agree, yes Peter has his bad days like everyone else, but there are good days too, I'm only going to have the first couple chapters with Peter dealing with depression, but after that, I want things to move on, I also want the series to stay in the late 2000s and early 2010s, since Greg Weisman did with his Gargoyles comics, but that's just me.
While I am following the OG Spiderman comics and other Marvel comics, I've also taken inspiration from other fanfics as well as from other Spiderman cartoons and Insomniac Games, however I want to do my own thing, so don't be too mad if you see something different, I don't think I'll be adding in other superheros in this story, only because it's been done to death that there are so many crossover superheros, I might one or two for one episode but that's it, I will be making references to other media, manly Total Drama, because it aired around the same as Spectacular Spiderman and it's funny to see the characters reactions to what happens in Total Drama because it would be insane.
I Do Not Own Anything, it all belongs to Marvel, Sony and Disney
Now before we continue, you should know I'm not the best when it comes to spelling and if you see any spelling mistakes you know why, also I'm very slow when it comes to posting chapters, please tell me how you liked my story, ok on with the story.
Peter Parker woke up from his bed with a startled look on his face, his body covered in sweat and he was panting heavily, he realised it was just another bad dream, Peter wanted to go back to sleep, even if it was a school day, but then his alarm clock rang, Peter groaned as switches it off, Peter then rolled onto his back on his bed and looks up to the celling.
Everybody hates him, that's what it felt like as Peter laid down in his bed, everyone hated him, well that's not true, Peter's Aunt May still loves him no matter what, no what he really meant was that in one way or the other somebody hates ether Peter Parker or Spiderman, Harry hates spiderman, Liz hates Peter, Mark Alan hates Peter, John Jamerson hates spiderman, J Jonah Jamerson Hates Spiderman more than ever, Eddie Brock Hates both Peter and Spiderman, oh boy Eddie, he wished he did things differently, he never meant to hurt him.
With the recent death of Norman Osborn, the daily bugle has published on their newest print Spider man, Menace or Murderer, and then soon everyone was against him, and the next one wasn't any better Norman Osborn, Villain or Victim, he hated that last one, they didn't see the real Norman Osborn that night, a monster willing to frame his own son to save his own skin.
Still did he deserve to die, he didn't mean for it to happen, he just wanted to stop Norman, he thought blowing up his glider would do the trick then he would catch him free falling with his webs, then he would be sent to jail, just like all the others villains, he didn't know that he would fall straight into a water tank full of pumpkin bombs, that was a mistake, maybe he was too angry, finding out that Norman was the Green Goblin and again framing his own son for an act of terrorism that he wasn't thinking straight.
But still, that was his best friends dad, I mean Norman wasn't what you would call father of the year, but he treated Peter like he was his own son, too much like his son, it was quiet clear that Norman always wanted a son like Peter, not like Harry, he literally said that right to Harry's face on more than one occasion, Peter felt terrible about it, but what could he do, he was still a teen at the end of the day, he couldn't tell Norman to be a better father without serious consequences from happening.
His high school life hasn't gotten any better, since he broke up with Liz or she broke up with him in a way, and without her, he lost his name in the in crowd, she wouldn't even look at him anymore, but she wasn't the only one, Harry has rarely talked to Peter in the last couple of days, it like he was only avoiding Peter, but he didn't know that for sure, Gwen had to stay with Harry because of his dad's death, he would always say that would back on the Green if it wasn't for her, so Peter guessed that he and Gwen won't getting together soon, so he broke up with Liz was for nothing, it was probably for the best, she deserve better then him.
But that still doesn't make him less hated, not to mention the long list of supervillains that what him dead, and what happens if they succeed, what would happen to Aunt May, she would be all alone in the world, he couldn't do that to her, maybe he should quit being Spiderman and focus on other things like school and work, but he can't do that, not ever, the last time he let a crime happen his uncle Ben died, that's why he has to be Spiderman no matter what.
Now that he was done feeling sorry for himself, Peter gets up from the bed and gets dressed and heads downstairs, Aunt May was already in the kitchen making pancakes, he could always rely on her to make him happy, even when she isn't trying, he then sits down at the table, making himself known.
"Morning Peter, how did you sleep" she said
"Alright, I guess" Peter responded, true be told he hasn't been sleeping well, most of the time he dreams about Norman's death, it keeps on replaying in his mind like a loop, Norman saying 'potato, Potato' like there was another way of saying I framed my son for the greater good and all that BS, Norman falling straight into the pumpkin bombs, the awful screaming that the bombs made, and finally Harry saying Spiderman should of help him.
"Now Peter, I was wondering what would like for your Birthday" said Aunt May
This took Peter off guard "my birthday, but that's not till next month,"
"I know, but it would be nice to be prepare for in the future, we can even have a birthday party for you" said aunt May
Peter didn't know what to think about this, a party for him, sure it sounded fun, but every time he wanted something, its ether flips over his head or he hurts someone in the process, maybe it wasn't worth having.
"I don't know Aunt May" said Peter "I'm not sure it's a good idea"
"Why not" asked May
"Well, it's um…" Peter didn't know what to say, should he tell her that everyone around him is turning into a supervillain because he's Spiderman, no that would give her another heart attack, no he has to tell the truth but not all of it.
"It's because I don't think anyone would come to the party" he said, it was sad but somewhat true.
"Oh, come now Peter" said May as comes around to Peter with the pancakes on a plate, she then put the pancakes in front of him and then patted his shoulder "I'm sure if you ask around people will come"
"Yeah, sure" said Peter, he really didn't think that was true as took a bite of his pancake, he was still known as midtown high's number 1 geek, and after all things he did as Peter and Spider man, he doubted that anyone would still like him, and all the supervillains he made on the way.
'No, don't think like that Peter, they made their own choices' Peter said to himself, he didn't tell Marko and O'Hirn to mutate themselves, nor Mark Allen, he didn't tell Eddie to bond with the black goo, no matter what Peter or Spider man did, he was not responsible for others actions.
Looking at the clock, he realized he be late for school again, "thanks for the pancakes aunt May but I have to go"
He then steps out of the house, 'which should I do, catch the bus like normal person or swing Spidey stile' the bus was less incriminating to himself but he couldn't go out and save people, while spider swinging was cheaper and faster, but then random people might attack him, something that the daily bugle put in their last issue attack the wall crawler at all costs, keep New York safe again, it hasn't happened yet, but Peter doesn't want to test his luck.
'The last thing I needs to fight the people I'm meant to protect' Peter said to himself, so in the end he caught the bus like a normal person, yeah like he could get use to normal, not.
Midtown High was the same as always, crowded and ruthless, normally he would meet up with his friends right about now, but no one was there to greet him, not even when he entered the building, he felt out of place here more than usual, everyone was talking to each other, showing off the latest phone they got, while Peter walked by.
He saw Liz in one of the crowd's but turned her head and walks away 'great, just great' thought Peter 'I don't think that Liz will be coming to the party, I wonder who else I've made miserable'
Then he saw Harry with his arm around Gwen shoulder, this made Peter cringe, he understood why Gwen stayed with Harry, didn't mean he was ok with it, Harry did looked better than before, maybe now he can talk to him, "oh, hey guys" he said "how's it going"
"Great, just great" Harry said, Gwen could feel Harry hugging her closer to him like he was scarred of losing her
"Yeah, great" said Gwen uneasy, this was so awkward, seeing the boy she really wants to be with right in front of her, only to be the boy she only saw as a friend as her boyfriend.
"So, it been a while, how have been holding up Harry," said Peter
"Yeah, while things have been tough, I at least have Gwen to keep me together" Harry smiled when he said that, the look Peter's face gave him some joy "but there is some good news"
"Really, what," said Peter
"The police have finally agreed to arrest Spiderman on the spot when they get the chance" said Harry "now justice can happen"
Well, this was just great, how is he going to do this, he can't get shot by the police, "oh ok" said Peter sadly
"What's wrong Pete," said Gwen
'Crap, I let it slip, what to say, what to say' Peter thought in his head,
"Well, I, er um, I mean catching spider man is good and all but what is it going to do for me, taking Spidey pics is the only thing I'm good at, then I won't have any money for Aunt May's bills" Peter said
'Oh boy, nice one Peter' he thinks to himself 'was that the best you could think of'
"you'll find something, you always do," said Harry "now we better be off to class now, shouldn't we" Harry then begets to lead Gwen away
"But the bell hasn't rung yet," said Gwen
"Well, it never hurts not to be early" said Harry, as whisked Gwen away without even saying goodbye to Peter.
Peter just stands there watching the girl of his dreams walk away with his best friend, damn, how did this happen, the moment he realises that he's in love with Gwen he's dating someone else, and now she's dating Harry, life wasn't fair.
MJ was standing nearby, she saw the look in Peter's eye, she decides to cheer him up "hey Tiger, how are you holding up"
"Ok, I guess" said Peter, he looked at MJ and knows he couldn't lie to her "no, it not ok"
"Do you wanna tell me about it" asked MJ
"Maybe later," said Peter
"Ok, whenever you're ready," said MJ as she walked away
Will he ever be ready, what will he able to say to her 'hey just to let you know I'm Spiderman and I killed my best friend's dad, by the way, want to go to my birthday party' yeah not like that, guess he have to figure that out later.
Later on, Peter sat in criminology class, Captain Stacy was teaching everyone about police stuff, Peter wasn't really listening, he did wonder if captain Stacy knew about him being Spiderman, he wasn't certain, but he had a feeling that he knew, but how, and how was he so calm about him being here.
"Peter, Peter"
This woke peter up "er, what" said a confused Peter, some of the kids snickered at him, right like this day hasn't gone any worse.
"Now as I was saying Peter how do you gather evidence" said captain Stacy
"Well first you need to wear gloves right" yeah sure that was the right answer
"And then what" ask Stacy
"Um, you have to find what's most important like things that are broken and personal and find what's missing"
"Good Peter I'm glad you're listening but do pay attention in the future though" said Captain Stacy
'Ok Peter, you heard him, now focus' Luckly class as soon over,
But soon he found himself alone at a table on the school rooftop, eating a sandwich, 'where were Gwen and Harry, they should be here' Peter thinks to himself
Meanwhile
"Harry, where are we going" asked Gwen
"it's a surprise" said Harry as he leads her to the football felid and brings her under the bench seats, then he brings out a box of Swiss chocolates, "I figured we could have them here instead of the crowded canteen"
"But what about Peter" said Gwen "he will be by himself at lunch"
"Well Peter will be fine on his own," said Harry "think of this as one of our dates"
"Ok, but won't we get into trouble if we away," said Gwen "we should head back"
"Come on Gwen, just chill" said Harry, he could see her face that she wasn't liking the idea, so he came up with another one "and plus I don't want to head back to see the other's just yet" he said sadly, or as sad he could make it out to be.
"What do you mean," asked Gwen
"I mean the drama club hate me for not showing up on opening night and the football team despises me for juicing on the big game" said Harry "and after everything that happened with my dad, it's just too much and can't face it"
"Oh Harry" Gwen put her hand on his shoulder "It will be ok, we will do this one step at a time, we can stay here for today"
"Thank you, Gwen," said Harry, he then hugged her smiling in the process, looks like his plan had worked, make her feel like she had to save him from himself, he always relied on that trick.
Peter didn't see Harry or Gwen for the rest of the school day, by the time the final school bell rang they were nowhere in sight, 'where were they' Peter thought, but he couldn't worry about that now, he needs to get to work, this time he decided to walk there.
The daily bugle was already busy when he got there, phone calls being made, papers being sorted out, you can never ask the Daily Bugle to be quiet, especially with J Jonah Jamerson as the boss.
Speaking of the boss, "WHERE IS PARKER, I NEED NEW PICTURES OF THAT WALL CRAWLER"
"I'm here boss, I er, haven't got any photos of Spiderman," said Peter
"AND WHY NOT" screamed Jonah
"Well, for some reason Spiderman hasn't been showing up lately," said Peter
"it's true boss," said Ned "ever since the death of the Green Goblin, crime has been low, it's like Spiderman scared them into hiding"
'Well, that's one good thing that came out of this mess, for all the wrong reasons' Peter said to himself, although it's hard to believe that crime disappeared that fast.
"I see" said Jonah, then a wicked smile appeared on Jonah face "let's use that to our advantage"
"how" ask Betty
"We will say that Spiderman is scaring the good people of New York" said Jonah
"Isn't that the bad people of New York" said Peter
"NO ONE ASKED YOU, PARKER," screamed Jonah, he took a breath in and cham down a little bit before speaking again "finally, with police already hunting down Spiderman, this article can finally put the web head into the ground for good"
'Great just great' Peter said to himself, 'I can't catch a break from anyone or anything, can I'
"Ok everybody, GET TO WORK," said Jonah
He then saw Robbie, Randy's dad, the bugle's chief editor walks by, "um, excuse me, Robbie"
"Yes Peter"
"I wanted to ask you, want is going to happen to me if they catch Spiderman, or something else happens to Spiderman" asked Peter
"Why do you ask"
"Well, you know, taking pictures of him is really the only thing I have going on here" said Peter, it was sad but true
"Not to worry about that" said Robbie "we can still have you here for background shots for the bugle"
"Oh, right" said Peter disappointed
"Something else on your mind" asked Robbie
What should he say at this moment, the truth, but not the whole truth "it's just that I don't think that Spiderman meant to kill Norman, I mean I wasn't there at the time, but all the other times Spiderman saved people, I think I er he wouldn't start killing people on purpose" said Peter as he sighed "but I don't know"
"I understand" said Robbie "personally I don't believe the whole Spiderman being evil thing or whatever Jonah is saying, I think that Spiderman is someone who's trying to do the right thing and help the little guy out"
"Thanks Robbie" this made Peter smile "it feels good that someone else feels that way"
Later on, in the evening Peter changed into Spiderman and started swinging out into the city on patrol, 'there is no way that crime died down that fast overnight' he knows that he can't risk showing his spider side in public yet but he had to be sure.
Sure enough, he was right, there were two men wearing ski masks trying to rob an old lady in an ally way, one was trying to pull her handbag out of her hands, but the old lady refused to let them take her bag even when the other man threatens to hit her with a crowbar,
The man raised the crowbar high "let go of the bag or I'll…." before he could finish a web snatch away his crowbar from his hand "huh, what the" the crooks looked up to see Spiderman
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, robbing and threating the elderly" said Spiderman as he waved around the crowbar, "didn't your mothers teach you some manners"
The two crooks stopped for a moment while the old lady kept tugging for her handbag, the first crook lets go of the bag sending her falling backwards and landing in some garbage bags left over from an overfilled dumpster,
"it's Spiderman" said the scared crook "let's get out of here before he kills us too"
Both of them made a run for it down the ally, screaming their heads off, "aaagghh, I don't want to end up like the goblin" said the second crook
"Oh, come on" said a frustrated Spiderman "this is how people see me now, really"
Spiderman quickly swung down the ally and web up the two crook's feet up, the two fell over and then Spiderman stuck them both to the wall, after that was done, he went back to the old lady who was trying to pull herself up
"ma'am, are you ok" said Spiderman as he tried to help her up
"No, don't touch me" she said scared, waving her handbag around to fed him off.
"Whoa lady, I'm just trying to help you," said Spiderman
This makes the lady stop "so you're not going to attack me" she said confused
"Why would I do that"
"But the newspapers said that you murdered somebody on purpose" she said
"Well don't believe everything you read or hear," said Spiderman, he lifted his hand to her "can I help you up now"
The old woman took his hand, and she was pulled back on her feet, "thank you Spiderman" she said "and sorry for not trusting you"
"It's alright, it happens all the time" Peter couldn't be mad at her, she reminded him of aunt May, and he could never ever be mad at Aunt May.
"Look, there he is" said someone behind Spiderman "police, over here"
"What" Spiderman turns his head to see a random man pointing at him his finger at him, soon 2 police officers came onto the scene and pointed their guns at Spiderman "no, no wait, I saved her from being mugged"
"On the ground now, web head, slowly" the officer said while pointing his gun at him
"No wait, it's true" said the old lady who came in front of officers "he saved me from 2 crooks who were trying to rob me"
"That doesn't matter now" said the other cop "you're coming with us"
"Um how about no" Spiderman quickly springs his webs to the roof and flees, but not before the cops fired a couple of bullets at him, lucky none of them hit him 'great, now I'm getting shot at by cops' Spidey said to himself, 'I need this to stop'
Spiderman waited until dark, then he swings all the way to New York police station, there he waited for Captain Stacy to return to his office alone, Spiderman sneaks in through the window and stays stuck to the celling, Captain Stacy just walked in his office with a bottle of water in hand, until he sees something on the celling.
"Hello captain" said Spiderman, this scares Captain Stacy he spills some of his water "sorry for the scare, but we need to talk"
Captain Stacy quickly shuts the door and starts closing the blinds "you shouldn't be here" he said "if they see you, they might shoot you on sight"
"Yeah, about that, I just saved an old lady from being mugged and the thanks I get is by 2 of your officers shooting at me with bullets" said Spiderman "why am I being arrested here captain"
"This is out of my hands Spiderman" said Captain Stacy "it's what the public want, you in jail or in the ground, despite being police captain I can't bend the law into my own hands"
"But I've done so much for this city, is this how they repay me now" said Spiderman sadly "this is all because of Norman Osborn isn't it, look I didn't mean for it to happen, it just happened"
"I'm afraid so, look I know you didn't do anything wrong" said captain Stacy "but when some dies in a situation like this, everyone likes to point fingers at the likely suspect"
"Then why is no one talking about Norman Osborn," said Spiderman "I mean he's the freaking green goblin who was trying to kill me"
"As far as the public is concerned, he was a victim of drugs and didn't know what he was doing" said Captain Stacy "and we already searched Oscorp, and we didn't find anything concert"
"But Norman wasn't a victim, he told me that in his stereotypical villain speech when he was trying to blow me up," said Spiderman
"I'm afraid that just your word against everyone else's" said Captain Stacy "an less proof shows up, I can't do anything, at currently now I can't even get a warrant to search Oscorp again"
Spiderman thinks about this, "what if I can get you the proof you need" he suggested "and then everyone sees the truth of Norman Osborn and your officers can back off"
The captain sits in his chair at his desk "it's a start, but know this, it will take time for us to release this to public" he said "also I can't stop the press from ruining your career"
"Yeah, well I'm already used to the daily bugle trying to trash me" said Spiderman as he heads to the window "I'll be back with proof, see you soon" and like that Spiderman jumps aways into the night.
Captain Stacy is left in thoughts "I hope you can do it Peter, I really do"
Peter came back home early, changes into his normal clothes and enters inside "hey Aunt May, I'm home"
"Peter, your home early" said Aunt May, which was true, normally he be out on patrol as Spiderman, but now he had to wait till later.
"Well, you know there's not much action tonight so I just came home," said Peter
"Well, I'm glad about that" said Aunt May "I do worry about you when you're taking Spiderman pictures"
"Yeah, about that, I heard that the police might be arresting Spiderman if they get the chance" said Peter, he then looked at Aunt May "can I ask you something"
"of course, Peter" said Aunt May "what's on your mind"
"What do you think about the whole Spiderman and Norman thing that happened" asked Peter "I mean I know that Spiderman is a hero and all, and I know Norman went insane but did Spiderman really meant to hurt Norman,"
May wondered this herself "I know Spiderman is good person, he did save me and Anna from the sinister six, and yes I'm mad about what happened to Norman, I can feel for what Harry and Emily are going through, but I know I can't blame Spiderman for what happened to Norman" Aunt May said
"You don't, why not" Peter asked
"We are responsible for our actions and we make choices in our lives" said Aunt May "and I think Norman choose the wrong way, it's not hard to do, but Norman could have turn back if he wanted to, but I guess it was too late for him"
"Yeah, I guess" said Peter "I guess you never really know someone until you see what's underneath"
"Yes, I guess that's true," said May
"Hey I think I might have an early night," said Peter
"Ok then, but do have your dinner first, it's in the microwave"
"Thanks Aunt May, you're the best" said Peter, he knew he didn't deserve her, but he was glad that she was in his life.
He heated up his dinner, sat at the table, ate his dinner, then he washed up his plate, kiss his Aunt May goodnight and went to his room, there he immediately started getting to work.
He search his room, finding any type of USB drives he could get his hands on, wow did he really need to clean his room, guess Aunt May was right about shoving things under the bed or leaving things at the last minute, he will fix that later, but he did find at least 2 USB drives, a red one and a blue one, he checked them on his computer, making sure there wasn't anything else on them, they were both empty, then Peter gets an idea to make a hacking virus on one for the drives so he can get on Norman's computer, he easily makes one, being a nerd has its perks.
Now it was time to suit up, he gets out of his usual clothes and puts on his mask and outfit on, he makes sure that his web shooters were full, and also bring some spare web cartridges in his belt, the USB drives of course, and his camera, just in case the USB thing doesn't work he'll take pictures instead,
"Ok that it, time to go show the world who Norman Osborn really is" he said to himself
He then opens his bedroom window and quietly climbs out starts web swinging his way to Oscorp.
Ok that's a wrap people, hoped you in enjoyed.
