In a alternate reality of Marvel, a new group of superheroes band together to stop crime and supervillain threats while contending with the violent acts of unlawful self-proclaimed heroes like Flash Thompson, who became Spider-Man (here called Crimson Spider) instead of Peter Parker.

Main Heroes

 * Captain America / Peter Parker: Once an shy and nerdy free-lance photographer working for Daily Bugle for the care of his ill aunt May, Peter Parker had his life ruined when trying to take pictures of Crimson Spider / Flash Thompson, who attacked him in a Super Soldier Serum facility in the blind belief that Peter was making him look bad to the citizens out of jealousy due to their past history. On the attack, Peter exposed himself to the facility's chemicals and infused with samples of the Super Soldier Serum which once turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. Right after J. Jonah Jameson (who showed no regard of Peter's condition) fired him for failing to obtain the pictures and his aunt and Uncle Ben were killed during a riot which Crimson Spider should (but did not) stop, Peter joined Pym Industries as the CEO Hank Pym's favorite prodigy and, using nanotech particles and resources provided by Pym, developed an Super-Soldier armor and a weapon projector (which grants him a sword, a shield, a non-lethal gun) composed of Vibranium and, united with his android sidekick Redwing, battles crime and inspires hope and humility on citizens as Captain America. He then became the leader of the Avengers.

After being given with hightech resources with the Kree scientists who were loyal to Mar-Vell, Mary Jane took on the moniker of Captain Marvel went on a journey to protect the galaxy while she sensed that her other siblings were looking for her.

Like Peter Parker in the original timelines, he became a crime-fighting Spider-based vigilante after being bitten by a radioactive spider. However, he displays more violent and arrogant methods (showing no hesitation in severely injuring or killing criminals and scolding at or intimidating citizens who do not see him as a hero) which oftenly ruin even innocent people's lives and takes no responsibility of his actions.

 * J. Jonah Jameson, the arrogant greedy head of Daily Bugle who worships Crimson Spider as a hero regardless of his violent acts (which Jameson only sees as "effective action"). Much like Crimson Spider, Jameson only cares about money and takes no dear responsibility of his actions. Eight years after the Avengers were banded together, Jameson continued reporting to New York only about Crimson Spider's "heroism" until he was apprehended by Captain America for attempting to assault and kill Liz Allan for being a Lesbian (exposing Jameson as an homophobic reaper) and arrested.

He was once Peter's replacement as free-lance photographer working for Daily Bugle until he was fired when his actions towards dr. Marla Madison resulted in her being fired from Life Foundations and divorcing from her husband J. Jonah Jameson (whom she accused of sending Brock to spy on her work). During his removal, he later asked for help from Crimson Spider, who (refusing to lose Jameson's faith in him) greedily refused, leading Brock to share Peter Parker's dislike for Crimson Spider and vow revenge. In a attempt to get his job back, Brock tried to sneak into Life Foundation's secret research lab and get the evidences of Carlton Drake's crimes until one of the subjects infected Brock with an extraterrestrial symbiote which granted him special abilities as long as they shared the same body, but at the cost of his sanity and influencing his behavior for the worse (making him act violently towards others).

 * Appearance: Based on Willem Dafoe's character in Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film.
