American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

Tony forced a smile at the two of them: "I won't bother you any longer."

The visor then closed, and with a roar, it flew toward the top floor of Stark Tower not far away.

Seeing the extreme pain on Tony's face, Gwen asked Peter in bewilderment, "What's wrong with him?"

Peter sighed: "The aftereffects of the Battle of New York. That invasion shattered all his sense of security, and he was plagued by nightmares day and night, suffering from severe PTSD. We just said that if we have the ability, we cannot stand idly by and we cannot let power go to waste, which hit his deepest weakness."

"He feared that one day his comrades would fall one by one before him, and he would be powerless to do anything. He longed for greater power; he didn't want to be just an avenger, but a preventer of disaster."

Gwen said sympathetically, "I never imagined that someone like him would have unavoidable troubles."

Peter suddenly seemed a little disinterested: "Living in such a troubled world, each of us will encounter unavoidable troubles or powerful enemies that we cannot overcome."

"If that day really comes, how will we face it?" Gwen looked at Peter quietly, waiting for his answer.

Peter looked at Gwen and uttered the same word Steve had used to answer Tony: "Together."

After a moment of silence, Gwen spoke up, "So what do we do now? Go home?"

Peter pulled a camera he'd gotten from Harry out of his bag: "Let's take some photos and videos of Spider-Woman first. We'll launch the TikTok platform tonight, and then upload the photos and videos. I have a feeling our platform is going to explode."

Under Peter's guidance, Gwen swings on spider webs as she navigates the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

Peter kept snapping photos, selecting the best ones to show Gwen: "How are they?"

Gwen was very pleased: "Did I look this good in the photo?"

Peter proudly stated, "New Yorkers will fall in love with someone as beautiful as you."

"They might also guess that I'm an ugly monster who's afraid to show my true face."

"Let's see who dares."

"Going home?"

"Go home."

……

Late at night, Peter was alone in the garage, finishing up the last few details of the TikTok platform.

Next, he logged into the "Spider-Woman" account he had prepared for Gwen and edited together the footage he had taken of Gwen flying through the night view of the buildings.

It was accompanied by the tagline "Hello New York".

Finally, tap the mouse to confirm the release.

With the witnessing and dissemination of those journalists tonight, Peter is not worried that the platform will not be popular.

Even if they don't mention "TikTok" in their subsequent reports, as long as they can provide exclusive photos, information, and news about Spider-Woman, the platform is bound to become popular.

Although it makes it easy for people to trace the relationship between Spider-Woman and the founders of these platforms, and even pinpoint Gwen's identity.

But it's as if Gwen's identity wouldn't be at risk of being exposed if she didn't do these things.

In Spider-Man comics and movies, the crisis of his identity being exposed has happened more than once or twice.

Some highly intelligent villains are even able to deduce Spider-Man's true identity through various clues.

So from the very beginning, Peter never intended for Gwen to remain anonymous forever.

The core purpose of operating TikTok right now is very simple—to quickly gain popularity, harvest traffic, promote Parker Industries' products, and make money in a down-to-earth way.

While stabilizing its foundation in real industries such as biomedicine and specialty materials, Parker Industries is also leveraging short video and internet platforms to expand its traffic reach, thus achieving significant growth through a two-pronged approach.

It has a mature industrial chain to back it up and a huge amount of capital to protect it.

Even if Gwen's identity is revealed, she will have enough strength and confidence to face public criticism and be unafraid of being targeted by supervillains.

At least some of the villains.

Vultures, Tinkerers, and Thrillers—these low-level tech criminals are tied to grey parts, modified goods, and underground supply chains.

As long as Parker Industries can block channels, launch legal crackdowns, and intercept funds, it can cut off the foundation upon which they commit evil.

Then there are underworld tycoons like Kingpin, who own both black and white real estate and illicit businesses. They are not afraid of gang wars, but they are wary of the commercial dominance, industrial control, and regulatory seizures of top conglomerates.

What if someone is determined to go against Spider-Woman?

He'd better pray that he's strong enough.

Peter isn't as pedantic as other Spider-Men in the universe.

Those supervillains who are completely beyond redemption can be legally killed during the capture process.

Even if they are captured alive by sheer luck, under the operation of capital, the death sentence is completed at lightning speed, followed by a one-stop service of being shot and cremated.

If Peter could win the resurrection match after turning to ashes and crawl out of hell to commit evil, then he would be truly remarkable.

……

The TikTok platform was launched on the Internet but did not cause much of a stir.

Gwen only mentioned it briefly when she left the scene of subduing Vulture, but the reporters present, driven by their pursuit of breaking news, would consider using this platform to get firsthand information about this new masked vigilante.

But they won't actively promote this platform.

Some newspapers and media outlets even directly steal photos and videos from the platform and publish them directly on their own media.

That would be exactly what Peter wanted.

He had already left sufficient copyright watermarks and solidified the original evidence collection process in the background, just waiting for major media outlets to greedily steal his materials.

Even for Gwen's Spider-Man suit, Peter had already secured multiple legal protections, including design patents, trademarks, and image rights.

The unauthorized use of photos and videos from various media outlets on the platform not only steals TikTok's content copyrights but also infringes on multiple legal rights, including exclusive designs for the apparel.

Peter's real first step in building TikTok's reputation wasn't through a few photos and videos uploaded by Spider-Woman, nor through the promotion by reporters or the soon-to-be "Spider-Woman fans".

It was a copyright war.

Superheroes have almost no awareness of protecting their rights regarding their own image, costume markings, and on-site audio-visual materials.

Furthermore, society generally accepts that footage of heroes in battle is free public news material.

Media outlets stealing images and businesses capitalizing on the popularity of heroes by using their likenesses to create toys, clothing, and other merchandise is commonplace, yet no one ever investigates or holds them accountable.

Putting aside other things, just look at the original Avengers: Captain America and Hulk are typical examples of poor people who rely on mutation.

A person who was frozen for decades during World War II, and woke up with no savings, no property, and no modern social security assets.

One of them has been wanted by the police and on the run since the Gamma accident, and still hasn't found a proper job.

The two lived off a salary from S.H.I.E.L.D.

This amount of money is a considerable sum for ordinary people, but compared to their contributions during the battle in New York, well...

Peter acknowledges that the two men are indifferent to fame and fortune and have no values ​​of making money or commercializing their heroic image, but he does not approve of the attitude of the ditched American society towards superheroes who save the world.

Peter always remembered that in Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2, Aunt May cried and handed Peter a $20 bill on his birthday.

That impoverished and pitiful scene, like a curse, kept swirling in his mind.

If, after gaining this memory, he still can't use his abilities to provide a good life for Uncle Ben and Aunt May, then he might as well elbow the concrete ground from the 28th floor in the city center and, incidentally, short-sell the surrounding property prices.
