He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

Queens, New York City.

A little boy who looked only seven or eight years old sat properly in a chair in the adoption agency's office, but his clear eyes were filled with confusion and emptiness.

Outside the window, the light rain pattered against the glass, just like his anxious heart at that moment.

"Peter, are you alright?"

A gentle voice sounded in his ear, and Peter snapped back to reality, meeting Aunt May's worried gaze.

At this time, the woman who would later accompany him as he grew up was still very young, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were still sparse.

"I'm fine, Aunt Mei!"

Peter shook his head gently, indicating that he was alright.

But the thoughts in his mind were still churning like a raging storm.

A soul from another world kept warning him that this was Marvel, the Marvel Universe where heroes were everywhere, danger lurked, and chaos reigned every three days and every year.

And he, Peter Parker, the future Spider-Man, is also a superhero who will eventually face villains like the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard.

Of course, at this moment, he has not yet figured out what kind of Marvel world this is. Perhaps what he will face is not just those few classic Spider-Man villains.

Perhaps there are also madmen like Thanos, who are prepared to wipe out half of all life in the universe.

However, all of that is for the future. What he needs to face now is the adoption process that is about to be completed.

That's right, Peter is an orphan now. Just a few days ago, his parents died in an accident, leaving him, an eight-year-old child.

In the free America, a land rife with crisis and the line of death constantly hanging over his head, he, a child with no capacity for action, simply could not survive on his own.

Fortunately, fate is working its magic, and he has been welcomed into his most important family, his Uncle Ben's family, who are preparing to adopt him.

Now, they are waiting to complete the adoption procedures.

Perhaps sensing Peter's emotions, Uncle Ben, who was sitting next to him, gently patted his shoulder, his tone gentle yet carrying a strange strength: "Son, I know this is difficult."

"But you must know that no matter what happens, Mei and I will be by your side."

"I understand, Uncle Ben!"

Peter could sense Uncle Ben's concern and nodded gently.

But deep down, I couldn't help but wonder, if I knew that becoming Spider-Man would cause the death of my Uncle Ben, who was so kind to me, would I still want to become Spider-Man?

Just then, the door to the meeting room was gently pushed open, and a woman in a light blue business suit walked in and slowly sat down opposite Peter and the others.

Her name tag read "Mary Cole".

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ben Parker, Ms. May Parker, and little Peter."

With a professional smile, Mary greeted the group, then slowly placed a stack of documents on the table and continued, "I am the social worker in charge of this adoption process. I will assist you in completing the final confirmation and signing procedures."

Uncle Ben stood up and shook her hand in a friendly manner: "Ms. Cole, thank you for your help."

"Don't mention it, it's my job," Mary said, opening a folder and taking out several forms.

"First, I need to confirm some basic information about you two. Mr. Ben Parker is 42 years old and works in mechanical repair; Ms. May Parker is 39 years old and works as a librarian in the community library, is that correct?"

"Yes, that's right." Uncle Ben nodded, and Aunt May chimed in, "We've already submitted our documents, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Mary nodded, then looked at Peter, her tone softening considerably: "Peter, I know you've been through a lot of bad things lately."

Her voice was gentle, tinged with pity, "But before signing the documents, I must ask for your opinion: are you willing to live with Uncle Ben and Aunt May?"

Seemingly afraid that Peter might feel uncomfortable, she added, "This is not mandatory. If you have any concerns, you can tell me."

Peter glanced instinctively at the two people beside him, only to find that they didn't speak, but looked at him with encouraging eyes, without urging him in the slightest.

In his memory, the couple always did this, always respecting his ideas.

Peter had no other concerns. Whether in the movie in his past life or in this brief encounter, Peter could feel the love emanating from the couple's hearts.

His only concern at this moment was whether he would bring unnecessary danger to the couple if he was destined to become Spider-Man in the future.

But Peter was touched by the kind, loving, and expectant look in their eyes.

He finally nodded firmly: "I...am willing!"

"Great, Peter!"

Upon hearing Peter's affirmative answer, Aunt May immediately grasped Peter's hand, her eyes filled with joy.

Then, with utmost sincerity, he said, "Peter, we can't replace your parents; they will always be unique in your heart."

"But we will do everything we can to give you warmth, accompany you as you grow, and let you grow up happily like other children."

"You can... treat us as your family whenever you want."

Uncle Ben, standing beside him, also showed a hint of joy in his eyes and added, "Child, home is not just a word, but a place where people care about you, protect you, and support you."

At this point, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes: "We promise to give you such a wonderful home."

Mary watched this scene with a hint of approval in her eyes, indicating that her work had been done perfectly.

She pushed the documents that needed final signature and confirmation toward Peter.

He added, "Peter, did you hear that? Mr. Ben and Ms. May genuinely want to take care of you."

"According to our previous investigation, they were the people your parents trusted most during their lifetime, and they had a very good reputation in the community. They were always actively involved in public welfare activities and were very kind people."

"I felt it!"

Peter nodded slightly, then picked up the pen and signed his name on the document with a firm expression.

But the moment he put pen to paper, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

DC Online is at your service. Your model has been generated, and you are initially given Kryptonian bloodline. May you quickly grow into a true god among men. (Remember to give us a five-star review!)

The story begins: You travel through the vast universe to a vibrant blue planet. Your spaceship lands on a Kent farm in Smallville, Kansas...

Congratulations! You have been adopted by the Kent family and named Clark Kent...

"What did you say? Who am I? Where am I? DC? Isn't this Marvel?"

The sudden sound made Peter's expression change drastically. He couldn't help but look at the Parker couple, who were very excited about successfully adopting him, their eyes full of doubt.

"They're not the Kents, are they?"

"Wait, if it's the adoptive father from 'Man of Steel,' it seems to be related to Uncle Ben..."

The image of a figure standing in the storm, reaching out to stop Superman's rescue flashed through his mind, but Peter immediately shook his head, dispelling the somewhat eerie image: "No, I'm Peter Parker, not Clark Kent!"

"Although, I really wish I were..."

"But this damn system must be making a mistake!"
