Iron Vulture

I got it! Pesticide! Sure. If you don't mind people calling you "Pest" for short. Good point. Okay. Daddy Longlegs. Dude, your legs are normal length, and you're not a dad! Venom's got a point. Inspiration has hit. Wait for it The Tangled Web! Imagine taking down Doc Ock, then, "You tangled with the wrong web. " Gold! Can anyone tell if he's joking? I can't tell when anyone's joking, Scarlet. Meet the newest Web-Warrior, Miles Morales, or as he was called in his universe Spider-Man. Which is my name. Confusing. Miles helped save this reality. But as a consequence, he's stuck in our world. He's kind of like my kid brother. But a kid brother who tries to take your superhero name. - Spider-Man! - Yeah? Yeah? See the problem? Got eyes on the guy who tripped the silent alarm. Leap! Leap! Whoo! - Who's this guy? - Batroc the Leaper. He leaps. - Dibs! - No! Give Miles some space. With all he's been through, he could use a win. Just don't tell him my grandma could be Batroc. Uh-oh! That's right. It's your friendly neighborhood, uh, me. Que es esto? Who are you? Good question. Does the name Captain Tangled Web strike fear in your heart? One being "meh. " Ten being, "I'm freakin' out here!" Where do you stand? I do not stand. I leap! I'll put you down for a "meh. " The others made you sound like a joke, but this cardio alone Whew! A joke? Batroc? A joke? Another villain upgrade. Looks like Doc Ock and Hydra are still at it. This just got too dangerous. I'll take it from here. And "take it" you shall! Ah. You want a name? How about "Squished?" Miles! No! Miles! No! - You'll have to find me first! - What? Where did the kid go? Going invisible's one of my powers. Oh. And I can also do this. Miles! You okay? He's fine, no thanks to you. Seriously? What was up with that? I'm new to this teamwork stuff, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to involve getting webbed in the back. You don't know these Hydra power-ups like we do. It was time for me to tag in. Right, guys? Back me up. Don't look at me. I tried not to be on this team, remember? Way to take him down, punk. Invisibility, huh? Camouflage. I just mimic the background. It never lasts long. Whatever. Gold star. Don't ruin it. Nah. Don't worry. I got him. You can just sit back and watch again, Scarlet Spider. You got a problem with me, Venom? 'Cause I might have a solution. The Web-Warriors. We get along like a family Of people who don't get along. Okay. I'll admit this didn't go so well. But you see that I was trying to help, right? Except your help almost got me Batroc-booted. You're frustrated. I get it. The super life sometimes isn't so Well, super. Maybe you and I need a dose of normal. - You like pizza? - What's pizza? Seriously? Of course not. I might be from an alternate Earth, but there's no dimension where New York doesn't have pizza. When the mask and web routine gets a little tough, I always put in some hang time with my BFF. He doesn't know my secret identity, so he treats me like himself, a normal person. I'll admit, that does sound kinda nice. Where's your friend live? Right over there. - Please mean behind the Oscorp building. - In it. Harry Osborn is your normal friend? Maybe "normal" has a different meaning in your universe. - Watch out! - Oh, yeah! Whoa! Where'd you find this dude, Pete? He can shred. Yeah. He's great at video games because he's good at pushing buttons. Ready for Battle Mode? You can battle in snowboarding? There's always a "Battle Mode. " Yeah! Not bad. But you're gonna get schooled when this game's record holder gets back. Who's the record holder? - I'm home. - Dad. Do not tell me we're going to hang out with Norman Osborn now. That dude is the Goblin. Was the Goblin. In our world, he's cured. Trust me. The most exciting thing about the Osborns now is their family game night. Peter, good to see you. Harry says your friend just beat him down the slope. Think he wants to try for the record? Yeah! All right! Go, Miles! All right! Go! Go! Go, Dad, go! Looks like there's about to be a new record holder. Hey! Whoa, whoa! Oh, yes. All right, Dad. I knew you had him the whole time. Whoa. You sure he's not still evil? Don't feel bad. He's had a few years of practice on his goblin gliders. Record successfully defended. Thanks for coming over, boys. It's good to have a normal night every once in a while. Now, do I smell pizza? Was that a sick bird? - Huh? - Get back from Vulture! In Hydra armor? Norman Osborn. Otto Octavius sends his condolences on your passing. Get to the safe room, now! What? Oh. - Why aren't we fighting back? - Can't blow the secret identities. Not in front of the Osborns, and definitely not in front of Vulture. - Get behind me! - Front, behind You know I'm not a baby. I don't need a sitter. Now's not the time. Sadly, after my sonic scream, there won't be another time. For what it's worth, I'm sorry. Duck! - Don't you mean "vulture?" - Very funny. Doc Ock can threaten me if he likes, Vulture. But know this, my son will always be protected by the Iron Patriot. Go with Harry into the safe room. I'll get help. How 'bout you take your friend Harry, and I go for help? Or how about we all get to the safe room and then think about help? Massive strength. Razor claws. Octavius puts pride in his handiwork. This armor ensures that no one can hurt me or my son! Ah! Wrong. Doc Ock designed my upgrade to transform me into a can opener. And you're the can. Oh, I'm much more than that. Made of vibranium alloy. We'll be safe in here. You guys stay put. I'll go for help. You gotta be kidding me. Uh, guys? Were you really going to sideline me again? First Batroc, now Vulture? No! I just Needed someone to protect Harry. I've been Spider-Man for a while before getting stranded here. So take off my training wheels, because we're in this together. Get up, Dad. Fight! Huh? Cool. I need you to know that I take little pleasure in what comes next, Osborn. Well, I can't say the same. I'm pleased as this punch! - And you are? - What if I said, "The Heroic Fang?" Wow. That's just a pitiful, pitiful name. Making fun of his name? Why? Because "Vulture" just sonic screams originality? Spider-Man! Doc Ock said you wouldn't be able to resist showing your face. Why are you doing this, Vulture? Ock experimented on you. Took your memories! You hate him. Why work for him? You wouldn't understand the darkness inside of me. Hoo, boy! Emo much? Do you think I like this? - Do you think I want to destroy life? - Then don't. Let me help. - S. H. I. E. L. D. can - No S. H. I. E. L. D. They never could give me what I need. But Ock can. He'll give me my memories back if I do as he says. Come on, Vulture. You know Doc Ock has a PhD in lying-ology. Stop this before it's too late. It's already too late! One good thing to come out of all of this I've always hated that sculpture. Vulture, take us to Doc Ock. We can stop him, then maybe get your memories back, if he really has them. Rather than take you to him, how about the other way around? You did the correct thing by signaling me, Vulture. I can send anyone to eliminate Norman. But Spider-Man and his kid arachnid Oh, I want to destroy them personally. "Kid Arachnid?" That's not Not bad, actually. What do you think? Do I look like a "Kid Arachnid" to you? I guess so. Can we fight now? Hey, Ock, thanks for the name! You are stronger than this worm. The memories you seek are stored in Osborn's database. Aid me in his destruction, and we'll have access. Vulture, let us end this. No! Get back! Do you consider me dim, wall-crawler? Is that how desperate you are? No! There's something there. Sorry for trying to help. It was too risky. Oh, yeah. This is much safer. It will be quick. I promise. You attack one Osborn, you attack them all! Who The Patrioteer, that's who. He's been a hero for all of two seconds, and he already has a code name? Harry in an armor suit? He can't even drive a car. We can't let him do that. "Let him?" Don't know if you noticed. Without him, we'd kind of be toast. And not the tasty kind, the burnt kind. You don't get it. Harry's not trained like us. We have to protect him. Norman's inexperienced brat has a suit of armor? This changes nothing. I will eliminate you all. Octobots! Who isn't on the guest list tonight? Thanks, Dad. What do you think you're doing? Get away from here immediately. I can't just sit back and do nothing. Son, I created these armors to keep you safe, not so you could put yourself into danger! I'm not a kid anymore. I can do this, Dad! Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Can opener! Die! Leave my dad alone! Your maneuver. It's working, son! What? Am I the only grown-up in the room? You're an Osborn, Harry. I should have known you could do this. He's not trained in that armor. A normal parent might be a little worried, don't you think? Of course. But my son just showed me I've got to give him the freedom he needs to protect himself. Wait. Is Norman Osborn being a good example of something? Ugh. That's unnerving. Can the Osborn database be accessed through Norman's helmet? Of course, fool! Access Vulture memory files. - No memory files exist. - What? Give me access to all of Octavius's archive files. This database holds no files created by Dr. Otto Octavius. Playing dress-up in daddy's suit. Every one of you Osborns is pathetic. I'm no longer the scared child you once knew, Octavius. Then it is time to remove the kid gloves. My memories are not here. Where are they? Norman must have deleted them. More reason to destroy him. Hey, Vulture, buddy, I'll bet there's a voice in the back of your mind right now, telling you Ock is lying. I'd listen to that voice. Spider-Man's been right all along. Osborn never had them. You played me, Ock! What are you doing to me? Letting my nanobots take control of your armor. So much promise. You could have been one of my Sinister Six. But you have failed me. You are no longer a person, but only a weapon that I wield. Now, eliminate Spider-Man! No, Vulture. Ock's your enemy. Vulture is not in there anymore. He defied me, so I took his free will away. - Do it. - Oh, I will. He was talking to me! Hey! You finally let me do the move. I knew you could pull it off. Sort of. What were you saying about kid gloves, Ock? Excellent work, son. I should have never doubted you. Isn't this when you punch him out? You take this one. You earned it. You tangled with the wrong web of The Tangled Web. No, you guys are right. That just felt dumb. Kid Arachnid is the way to go. Spider-Man Vulture, you still in there? No. I feel it taking me over. But you need to know. Doc Ock has a spy. Someone at S. H. I. E. L. D. An agent? A student? Not. A Spider Vulture! This is but a temporary setback for my genius. You remember the last time you tried to contain me? Of course. You busted this place up. So we redesigned it. Better. Iron Fist oversaw the feng shui. Can you feel the chi flowing over you? Or maybe it's just the laser-guided targeting systems. Argh. Listen, Miles, I know I've been, uh Over-protective? Patronizing? Out of line? I could keep going. I was hoping for more like "coolest big brother ever," but I guess that's fair. I might not be as great a hero as Peter Parker was, I mean, as you are, but if you give me a chance, I can prove myself. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You think I don't believe you're a hero? Why else would you step in front of me? - Pull me out of battles? - I have total faith in you. It's just It was my plan that brought you here. Because of me, you're stranded, away from your family and friends. It might have been your plan, Peter, but it's not your fault. You're so eager to jump into a fight. All I want to do is get you back to your world in one piece. You're worried about me? How do you think I feel? I watched the Peter Parker of my world get destroyed. The reason I've been so eager to jump into battles? I've made it my personal mission to make sure you're safe. The world needs Peter Parker. Let's make a deal. I'll back off on the nanny routine, and you jump in front of the bus a little less often. We cool, Kid Arachnid? The coolest, Spider-Man. Good. Because if Vulture was right, Doc Ock has a spy inside S. H. I. E. L. D. And if I'm going to catch him, I'm gonna need every Spider I can get. Well, if we find any new Spiders, I got a lot of leftover code names they can try out. Sure, buddy.
