Main Heroes

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.

Consequently, he was exposed by Captain America and as the Black Ripper, an masked criminal and serial killer who previously assaulted and butchered prostitutes and homosexual women (including America Chavez' mothers Amalia and Elena), and arrested.

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).
