SPENCER ∙ ANTÔNIO ∙ GÓMEZ ∙ CARLOS ∙ SINCLAIR PETER PARKER was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained the proportional speed, strength, and agility of a SPIDER, adhesive fingertips and toes, and the unique precognitive awareness of danger called “SPIDER-SENSE”! After the tragic death of his Uncle Ben, Peter understood that with great power there must also come great responsibility. He became the crimefighting super hero called… KING’S RANSOM Conclusion Peter Parker has been known to make some pretty questionable choices--sometimes born from eternal optimism, sometimes from desperation…sometimes from both! For example, Peter took in Fred Myers, A.K.A. super villain Boomerang, as his roommate, and the two of them took in the monster Gog as their pet. This isn’t super surprising, considering Spidey used to date Black Cat, but he got swept up in Boomerang’s quest for the super-powerful Lifeline Tablet scattered all over New York City. Why would Peter join this quest? Well, a city archivist told Boomerang not only about the scattered pieces of the tablet, but also that Mayor Wilson Fisk (you know, THE KINGPIN) is desperate to put the tablet back together. Fisk is so desperate, he’s turned all the super-criminals in NYC loose to help him get Boomerang and all the tablet pieces. Seeing this, Boomerang surprised everyone (and himself) and went after Fisk solo to spare Spider-Man. Spidey doesn’t really roll like that, but luckily HE doesn’t have to face it alone. He has a new suit (courtesy of gossip site THREATS & MENACES) that amps up his powers and gives people a first-person Spider-POV and also puts TNM chief J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man’s ear, barking orders. Wait, that doesn’t sound helpful AT ALL. Pete figured that out and finally made a GOOD choice and called in some REAL help.
