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

Peter didn't rest in the following days either.

In his spare time, he would travel around New York, upholding justice and cleaning up the city's evil.

They rescued citizens who had been illegally harmed, rushed to disaster sites, and helped ordinary people in danger.

Now he has mastered the ability to fly freely, and he no longer needs to rely on webs to swing between buildings and travel throughout the city like the original Spider-Man.

In just a few days, his name and image spread to every corner of New York.

All the media outlets in the city, big and small, even entertainment publications that usually only chase after celebrity gossip, were vying to report on his heroic deeds.

Of course, the Daily Bugle also regularly satirizes and smears him.

Following in the footsteps of Captain America, who became a household name in the last century, this mysterious super Spider-Man has become the most popular superhero in the United States today.

Even a blurry photo of him taken by a passerby when he happens to appear at a disaster site will be snapped up by major media outlets.

Some even profited handsomely from this, escaping their impending execution.

Having already amassed a fortune of hundreds of millions, Peter naturally didn't need to sell his "sex appeal" for a meager few tens or hundreds of dollars like the original Spider-Man...

But fame also brings its own troubles.

Even though he hasn't yet awakened his super hearing, Peter, who is on campus, can often hear his classmates talking about him.

While some enthusiastically support it, there are also voices of doubt and opposition.

However, in his class alone, the attitude was surprisingly consistent; almost everyone was a staunch supporter of Spider-Man.

Just like in the classroom right now...

"Hey, did you guys hear? A fire broke out in an apartment building in Hell's Kitchen last night, and many residents were trapped inside!"

"Oh my god, that was too dangerous! What happened afterward?"

During the break, several students gathered together.

The towering figure of Lightning was facing several beautiful cheerleading girls, vividly recounting the news, eliciting gasps of surprise.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's our hero, Super Spider-Man, who arrived just in time."

"As soon as he arrived at the scene, he began circling the building engulfed in flames at high speed. In just over ten seconds, the raging fire extinguished itself—much faster than the fire department!"

"Oh my god, how did he do that?"

Mary Jane, with her blonde wavy hair, looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask a question.

Just as Lightning was about to give a smug explanation, a cool voice suddenly came from the seat next to him.

"He relied on extremely high-speed orbiting to extract the air from the building's periphery and interior, creating a brief vacuum environment. Lacking oxygen, a necessary condition for combustion, the flames naturally extinguished quickly."

Everyone turned their heads at the sound and saw Gwen Stacy quietly holding a book on biology and genetics, without raising her head, speaking in a calm but clear tone.

"Uh... Stacy is right, that's what the experts explained afterward too."

Lightning was inevitably a little embarrassed by having his spotlight stolen, but given Gwen's status and her father's position as a bureau chief, he could only nod and agree.

"I really hope that next time I'm in danger, Super Spider-Man will come to my rescue."

Mary Jane gently placed her hands on her heart, her eyes filled with longing.

"I advise you not to place all your hopes on Super Spider-Man when you are in deep crisis."

Gwen continued reading with her head down, but spoke softly.

"Based on my observations over the past few days, he doesn't act in every crisis; his actions mostly occur in the evening and at night."

"Maybe he'll hide his identity and work a normal job during the day, just like Superman in the comics!"

Mary Jane stared directly at Gwen with wide eyes, her words carrying a hint of rivalry. It's always inevitable that a subtle, inexplicable distance will arise between beautiful women.

Just as Gwen was about to retort, the crisp sound of the school bell rang out, timely interrupting the chatter.

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and all the students returned to their seats one after another.

"It's quite a strange feeling to hear other people talking about me!"

Listening to the others enthusiastically discussing him, Peter sat in his seat, a strange and subtle feeling rising in his heart, he couldn't tell if it was embarrassment and shyness or secret pleasure.

He was indeed the one who put out the fire last night.

He hadn't yet unlocked the freezing breath technique, so he couldn't extinguish the entire sea of ​​fire in one breath.

The only option is to emulate the world's fastest person and create a vacuum zone at supersonic speed to forcibly isolate oxygen and extinguish the flames.

This operation requires extremely high speed; the slightest mistake will not only fail to save lives but will also unleash a terrifying fire tornado, turning the survivors into familiar faces.

Classroom time can be a bit dull and boring, yet it always seems to fly by.

Today is Friday. After getting through the last few classes, the much-anticipated weekend holiday will arrive as scheduled.

As school was about to end, the homeroom teacher suddenly walked into the classroom.

"Hey Peter, you're here."

Harry, sitting in the front row, turned to look at Peter, a smile playing on his lips, as if he had anticipated the upcoming announcement.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

The mentor clapped his hands and began to speak.

"This weekend, the school will organize a group visit to the Osborne Technology Building. The activity is entirely voluntary, and students who want to participate can sign up now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of voices erupted in the classroom.

"Osborn Technologies? That's a top-tier biotechnology giant, bringing together the world's leading biologists!"

"I definitely want to sign up and give it a try. Maybe I can get to know one of the professors, become his intern, and even get a recommendation letter for an internship from a prestigious university."

Upon hearing the news, most of the students in the class were excited and planned to sign up.

"Peter, I've signed you up. Do you want me to pick you up this weekend?"

After getting Peter's consent, Harry also signed him up, then ran back and asked Peter.

"Thank you, but no need, I can go by myself!"

Peter, who has the ability to fly, naturally doesn't need Harry to pick him up; flying there is much faster than taking a car.

"Okay, then see you at the building entrance on Sunday!"

At that very moment, Gwen had just returned from registering.

"Stacy? You signed up too?"

"Yes, Osborn, Parker, see you then!"

After saying goodbye, the group went home, as they were going to visit the Osborne Technology Building that weekend.

Of course, the one who was most looking forward to it was Peter, who had not shown it on the surface.

After all, this visit to Osborn Technologies was a major turning point in his life.

……

Meanwhile, in the underground laboratory of the Osborne Technology Building, which they were about to visit.

Several figures were busy at work.

Outside the laboratory, two figures peered through the hard bulletproof glass at the special device being rapidly erected in the center of the laboratory.

"Mr. Kingpin, I have agreed to your terms, and they will be fulfilled immediately."

"And when exactly will you fulfill the conditions you promised me?"

Norman stood side by side with the enormous Kingpin, asking in a serious yet eager tone.

If it weren't for the fact that the company's research on his family's genetic disease hadn't made any progress for a long time, he would never have cooperated with this underworld tycoon, Kingpin.

"Rest assured, Mr. Osborn, although my methods are not honorable, my reputation is still good. I will definitely do what I promise you."

"Do you know the Hand? They can not only cure your genetic disease, but they might even grant you immortality!"

Kingpin slowly opened his mouth and dropped a bombshell that shocked everyone.

"What? Immortality! How is that possible?"

Norman, who had been tormented by a genetic disease all his life, couldn’t help but have a glimmer of longing in his eyes at this moment!
