Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man

I'M SPIDERMAN. AND TODAY,

I'M DOING WHAT I DO BEST,

KICKING BAD GUYS' BUTT WITH MY SHIELD CREW.

WHITE TIGER, YOU'RE ON DOC OCK'S LEFT.

POWER MAN AND IRON FIST, FRONTAL ASSAULT.

NOVA KEEP HIM PINNED DOWN.

I'M ON IT!

THE KID'S A NATURAL LEADER.

HE'S RISKY AND RECKLESS. I LIKE THAT.

HE HAS A WARRIOR'S CUNNING.

BETTER THAN THAT, HE'S GOT HEART.

SO, WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT?

NOPE.

BUT I'LL GO ALONG JUST TO SAY "I TOLD YOU SO."

ARGH! SPIDERMAN!

YOU AND THOSE BRATS HAVE OPPOSED ME

FOR THE LAST TIME!

HEAR THAT, GUYS? OTTO'S FEELING CRANKY.

EVERYONE GRAB AN ARM AND SHOW HIM SOME LOVE.

STAY BACK!

YOU KNOW YOUR TROUBLE, DOC? YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE.

THIS IS NOT OV--

THERE. ISN'T THAT BETTER?

GREETINGS, SPIDERMAN.

PERHAPS WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED, YOU'D CARE TO JOIN US.

THE AVENGERS WANT YOU?

THEY SAID THEY WERE INTERESTED,

BUT I NEVER EXPECTED TO JOIN SO SOON.

I'M NOT SURE I'M READY.

WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE HERO YOU ARE,

YOU BECOME THE HERO YOU MIGHT BE.

GO. WE'LL DROP THE TRASH ON FURY'S DESK.

I'M A LITTLE JEALOUS, SPIDER.

BUT HAPPY FOR YOU.

OH, MAN. LUMP IN MY THROAT--

CATCH IN VOICE,

DIDN'T THINK LEAVING MY OLD TEAM WOULD BE SO HARD.

HOW DO I SAY GOOD-BYE TO THEM?

YOU GONNA SIT DOWN?

OR JUST KEEP TALKING TO YOURSELF?

UM...

BYE, GUYS.

WELCOME TO THE AVENGERS, SPIDERMAN.

WA-HOO!

THIS IS AWESOME!

WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST DAY IN AVENGERS TOWER, SPIDERMAN.

MR. STARK HAS REQUESTED YOU JOIN THE TEAM

IN THE SECOND DOOR DOWN THE LEFT CORRIDOR.

THANKS, JARVIS. GOTTA REMEMBER TO NOT ACT

LIKE A CLUELESS NEWBIE.

AVENGER'S SPIDEY IS CONFIDENT, COOL, READY FOR ANYTHING.

SPIDEY IN THE HOUSE, AVENGERS!

HUH?

OH, MAN! ME AND MY BIG MOUTH!

WHOA! OKAY, OKAY. I GET THE GAG.

ROUGH UP THE NEW GUY, SEE IF HE CAN TAKE IT.

OH, OKAY. I'M COOL.

WEIRD, NASTY FORK THINGS, NO PROBLEM. I GOT THIS.

BIG ROBOTS? COME ON!

WHO'S NEXT? WHO'S NEXT?

INITIATION TEST COMPLETED.

TEST? MORE LIKE FINAL EXAM OF DOOM.

HAWKEYE, HE BEAT YOUR TIME BY THREE SECONDS.

PSHH. DUMB LUCK.

YOU TREAT ALL YOUR NEW MEMBERS THIS WAY?

YES. YES, WE DO.

NO HARD FEELINGS. YOUR OFFICIAL AVENGERS I.D.

THE SUPERHERO'S ALL ACCESS PASS.

I MADE AN UPGRADE TO YOUR SHIELD TECH.

IT WORKS IN TANDEM WITH YOUR WEB SHOOTERS,

BROADCASTS OVER AN "AVENGERS ONLY" FREQUENCY,

AND-- WHOA! CAREFUL, KID.

YOU'LL SET OFF THE TASER GUARDS.

THANKS! ANY OTHER SURPRISES I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

WOW!

WHITE TIGER WOULD FREAK TO HAVE A GYM ON THE CEILING.

THIS IS REALLY ALL FOR ME?

ALL THE AVENGERS HAVE LIVING QUARTERS IN THE TOWER.

BUT I'M NOT READY TO LEAVE MY--

OTHER PLACE.

HE PROBABLY STILL LIVES IN HIS FOLKS' BASEMENT.

I KEEP MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.

AND F.Y.I., I HAVE MY OWN BEDROOM.

MAYBE SO, BUT WE'RE NOT WEARING MASKS.

I WONDER IF YOU TRUST US AS MUCH AS WE TRUST YOU.

I TRUST HIM, BLACK WIDOW.

THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SECRET IDENTITY BUSINESS

UNTIL IT FEELS RIGHT, SPIDEY.

THANKS, CAPT.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS RESPECTING MY PRIVACY.

NOOGIE WELCOME PATROL!

NOOGIE, NOOGIE, NOOGIE, NOOGIE, NOOGIE.

AND THE HULK IS ONE MORE REASON TO KEEP BUNKING AT AUNT MAY'S.

HEY, BUD.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! I ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT.

THE AVENGERS HAVE RUINED THE TEAM

BY ENLISTING THE WALL-CRAWLING MENACE

KNOWN AS "SPIDERMAN."

GET READY TO EAT THOSE WORDS, J. JONAH JERKFACE.

SPIDEY'S PLAYING A WHOLE NEW GAME.

ROUND ONE, FIN FANG FOOM!

HA!

YAH!

YOU BROKE ATTACK FORMATION,

LEFT HAWKEYE AND IRON MAN VULNERABLE

ON THE MONSTER'S LEFT FLANK.

BUT I STILL WON, RIGHT?

YOU MAY HAVE WINGED IT ON YOUR OLD TEAM,

BUT ON THIS ONE, WE FOLLOW ORDERS.

ALL OF US. YOU GOT THAT?

HEY, DON'T LET THE FLAG MAN GET TO YOU.

YOU DID GREAT.

ROUND TWO, ATTUMA!

SPIDERMAN, ON YOUR RIGHT!

YES, SIR.

BONUS STAGE!

SPIDEY VERSUS BATROC!

WAH!

ONE FRENCH FRY TO GO, BACK TO JAIL!

LEAP! LEAP!

QUEL EST?

ONLY ZE HARMLESS LITTLE MOSQUITO.

HA!

LOOKING FOR THIS?

OH, WOW, GUYS. IT'S AN AVENGER.

HEY, I-- I JUST THOUGHT I'D HELP OUT.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE, AND--

I-- I MISS YOU GUYS.

HOW'S THAT?

I MISS YOU GUYS.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO, SPIDER, BUT--

YEE-YAH! LEAP.

WE CAN HANDLE OUR OWN MISSION

WITHOUT AN AVENGER SHOWING US UP.

TO BE HONEST, IT REALLY HASN'T BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT--

THIS AVENGER STOPPED THAT EVIL FRENCH GUY!

UH, LISTEN, THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL HEROES.

SPIDEY! SPIDEY!

SPIDEY! SPIDEY! SPIDEY! SPIDEY!

NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

UH, GUYS, WAIT!

SPIDEY! SPIDEY!

DR. OTTO OCTAVIUS.

IT SEEMS SPIDERMAN HAS MOVED ONTO

BIGGER AND BETTER THREATS THAN YOU.

THERE ARE RULES AGAINST BOTHERING PRISONERS.

GET OUT.

RULES ARE FOR LESSER CREATURES.

NOT FOR LOKI.

LOKI?

NOW, WHAT WOULD THE PRINCE OF TRICKSTERS WANT

WITH A HUMBLE SCIENTIST LIKE ME?

I PLAN TO HUMILIATE MY BROTHER, THOR,

DESTROY THE AVENGERS, AND SEIZE CONTROL

OF THE NINE REALMS.

AND WHILE I'M AT IT, I HAVE A SCORE TO SETTLE

WITH SPIDERMAN.

WHAT'S SPIDERMAN TO YOU?

I'VE BEEN LOOKING TO SQUASH THAT PEST

FOR QUITE A WHILE.

LET'S TALK IN MORE PRIVATE SURROUNDINGS.

BEHOLD, YOUR UNDERWATER LAB

RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GLORY.

AS ARE YOU, OTTO OCTAVIUS.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

SHEATHED YOU IN ASGARDIAN ARMOR,

THE SAME METAL FROM WHICH WAS FASHIONED

THE ALL POWERFUL DESTROYER.

EVEN MIGHTY THOR HAS NO DEFENSE AGAINST IT.

FASCINATING.

SO WHAT'S MY ROLE IN YOUR GRAND SCHEME?

I DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT THOR'S ATTENTION TOO SOON,

SO MY FIRST ATTACK ON MIDGARD

WILL BE THROUGH SCIENCE NOT SORCERY.

SPECIFICALLY, THAT INTRIGUING

INVENTION OF YOURS.

VENOM.

SORRY, I'M FRESH OUT.

YOU CREATED IT ONCE FROM SPIDERMAN'S BLOOD,

YOU CAN DO SO AGAIN.

AND I'LL UNLEASH IT

UPON THE MOST FEARSOME MONSTERS IN THE NINE REALMS,

ALL UNDER MY MYSTIC COMMAND.

WITH THAT MUCH VENOM, YOU COULD DESTROY THE WORLD.

I PROMISE TO LEAVE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO RULE.

THAT IS, IF YOU HELP ME.

VERY WELL.

I'LL NEED A SAMPLE OF SPIDERMAN'S BLOOD.

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS AS GOOD AS DONE.

YO, BUGMAN, THERE'S A NEW ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT DINER

THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT TO THE GUTBUSTER TEST.

YOU IN?

HUH. MORE FOR ME THEN.

BEING AN AVENGER ROCKS, BUT I CAN ONLY TAKE

SO MANY HULK GUTBUSTERS AND NOOGIES.

I NEED SOME SPIDEY "ME" TIME.

NOTHING LIKE A NICE, RELAXING SWING.

YOU!
