"I don't have time to play games with you here!"Peter stood atop the helicopter suspended in mid-air, like a bird-eating spider that had trapped a sparrow in its web."This is a warning! If you keep pestering me, I'll show you what happens when you make me angry!"
With that, Peter leaped away.
This time, no one stopped him.
Clearly, the real, serious Spider-Man had frightened them.
All their previous intel had made them believe Spider-Man was just some "good citizen" who liked doing laughable good deeds on the streets.
But now, they had seen another side of Spider-Man—
A side as sharp and icy as a winter gale when facing an enemy!A striking contrast to the gentle warmth he showed toward ordinary people who needed help.
"Who was it that said Spider-Man was some pushover we could squeeze at will?"
"I thought he was either a goody-two-shoes or just a kid…"
"Spider-Man signed the Sokovia Accords—he should be helping us catch this Black Spider-Man!"
Peter had no intention of worrying about these Damage Control agents who had suddenly crawled out of nowhere.
That moment just now—It felt great.
But at the same time, the sensation of being eroded by darkness left him deeply on guard.
Even frightened.
He didn't want to fall into darkness, to become a slave to power.
So now he was racing toward Bleecker Street as fast as he could.
He hadn't even swung through a few blocks when Iron Man appeared directly in his path.
Boom!
"Peter," Iron Man blocked his way, "you are Peter, right?"
"Yes," Peter nodded. "Tony, I want to know what's going on. Why is Damage Control coming after me?"
He didn't open his mask. It would've made him more convincing, but he didn't want to reveal his real face outdoors so casually.
Clank.
Iron Man landed in front of Peter and extended his hand.
A projected video appeared before Peter's eyes.
In the video, a silent warehouse filled with container-like crates came into view.
Suddenly, the warehouse door was violently kicked open.A figure in a black suit swaggered inside.
His entire body was pitch black, but a huge white spider emblem sprawled across his chest.
The distinctive outfit instantly evoked Spider-Man.
Spider-Man also had a spider emblem—just not that large.
But the resemblance was undeniable—The déjà vu was overwhelming.
It was almost impossible not to make the connection.
Thus, he was called "Black Spider-Man."
Black Spider-Man rummaged through the containers, searching for something.
His actions immediately triggered the alarm.
A swarm of security personnel rushed in.
After shouting warnings, they drew their guns and opened fire at Black Spider-Man.
But Black Spider-Man's agility was on par with—or even appeared sharper than—the real Spider-Man's.
Dozens of guards firing at close range…Yet not a single bullet hit him.
At most, one or two grazed him!
Instead, all those Damage Control guards were subdued!
Before reinforcements could arrive, Black Spider-Man snatched a few items he had found and fled.
The warehouse was located on a small island east of Queens, so Black Spider-Man ultimately vanished into the vast river.
After watching the video, Peter finally understood what Venom had done with his body—and why Damage Control agents were chasing him.
Still…Why on earth did Venom go steal materials from Damage Control?
Peter couldn't figure it out.
Could Venom… invent things?
"Do you know him?" Tony Stark stared at Peter as he asked.Though phrased as a question, his tone made it clear he'd already drawn his conclusion—
That Black Spider-Man was Peter.
Peter forced a bitter smile. "What did he steal?"
"Two Chitauri energy cores, an Ultron bot's AI chip, some Chitauri alloy scraps," Tony said without holding back."There should be more small pieces. The scene was chaotic, and those idiots were sloppy with their inventory, so who knows how much was taken.So, Peter—tell me. Why did he steal those things?"
Peter shook his head slightly. "I can try to explain."
"I'm all ears. I hope you can give me a reason that makes sense," Tony said.
"There may be a symbiote hiding inside me… called Venom."
Peter explained everything about the Venom symbiote—its traits, its potential influence on him.
He concealed the fact that he learned this from another world's Spider-Man, instead claiming he discovered it himself.
And this time, he also didn't mention that Venom slipped into him while he was in another universe; he simply said Venom took control of his body while he was asleep.
Tony Stark was genuinely surprised by how readily Peter admitted to his "crime."
He had assumed a kid Peter's age would hide his mistakes and avoid responsibility like most teenagers.
But unexpectedly, Peter had shown real accountability.
Still, as someone who secretly considered Peter his future successor, Tony's attention quickly shifted to the danger in Peter's description of the symbiote.
"So you're telling me this Venom thing can control your body while you're asleep, override your consciousness, and subtly influence you—make you violent?" Tony summarized.
Peter nodded. "So I'm heading to ask someone for help. He might be able to help me get rid of the symbiote."
"Who? And why aren't you coming to me? You think I can't help you?"Tony sounded offended.
His kid—his own little potato—ran into trouble, and his first instinct wasn't to come to him?!
That felt like a slap in the face.
"Uh…" Peter wasn't sure why Tony was angry.
But… he genuinely didn't think technology could beat the Venom symbiote.
In universe 96283, Bully Maguire separated a piece of Venom and gave it to Dr. Connors to study, but the doctor never figured it out before Venom merged with Eddie Brock and was destroyed by Peter.
In universe 92131, the '94 Spider-Man also gave a piece of Venom to that world's Dr. Connors.
That Connors only managed to figure out a few basic traits.
