A list of issues in Marvel Heroes: Secret Adventures.
Vol. 1: Spider-Man and the New Avengers Aftermath
“A Tour Around the Avril Mansion”
(issue starts with Gwenpool making a fashionable introduction)
- Gwenpool: (breaking the fourth wall) Hello, True Believers! It's me, Wendy Poole! Our sensational Gwenpool! And I proudly invite you to this paradise called the Avril Mansion! (showcases a map of the mansion's landmarks) One mansion that will feel like a rent-free hotel and summer resort. Because look at this! This place has everything! Outside, we have this hedge maze, where kids can freely play hide-and-seek, a Race Trace and Sports field for those who love a good workout, and this swimming pool! We also have this Garden, for those who enjoy nature, and maybe some chess matches to play in the tables, and vegetables to harvest. Oh! This mansion also has a beach! A large, private beach for mansion owners only. First steps inside, starting with the Main Hall, we have this bathrooms for both boys and girls, with twelve showers, twelve toilets, and a pool-sized bathtub. Along with a heart-shaped one for couples, and... even better: a sauna. And a laundry, for everyone to wash their clothes. How about a Ballroom and Gym, where you can practice acrobatic skills and sport talents, and where you can practice dancing? Tired of paying to go to the movies? Here's the home cinema! With 30 seats, and a large TV with four sound boxes in the wall. You can both watch movies and play video games! Let's not forget the kitchen and dining room for who's hungry. A treasure room, for your trophies and medals! And a secret laboratory. Shhh! Big secret. Don't tell anyone. And here's the Entertainment room, with lots of games to entertain you! And finally Upstairs, 21 bedrooms, a library where you can study peacefully, a music room where you can sing and dance all day... and the attic, for the old stuff. Gosh! One would be lucky to live in a place like this, huh? Well... someone was. Someone who created this place. You probably wanna hear the story. It begun years ago... with a woman named Rosie. (flashbacks reveal Rosie's life story as told by Gwenpool) (voice over) A shy but loving woman of unknown origins who traveled a lot of places to get what she wanted. Including the resources to order the secret construction of her mansion. She was married with this man Harrison Thompson, with whom she had her son Eugene, also known to this day as "Flash". Yes, the same loathsome and self-righteous Flash who enjoys bullying nerds in Midtown High! Ugh! Anyway, she lived a simple life, until she became pregnant with a second baby. With 100% chance of being a girl she'd name Jessie. That was when Rosie found out how nasty her husband was when a doctor told him of the possibilities, and complained that he "wanted boys, not girls". Not wanting to lose her unborn daughter the worst way possible, Rosie left. Faked her death. And hid away from her nasty ex-husband in her secret mansion. Secretly located in Fire Island, New York. Years passed, Rosie had her name legally to Rose Avril, and Jessie's surname from Jessie Thompson, to Jessie Avril. Yes, the same Avril girl who was everyone's favorite girl in Midtown High, until a monster ended her life unfairly... but let's continue on her life before that, shall we? Eventually, Rose married Wilson Allan. A more humble, lovable and honest man who recently lost his wife, leaving just him and his kids Marcus and Liz. Rose married that man, and gave birth to her boy Collin. And while Rose continued living her new happy life with her new, functional family in Manhattan, Jessie chose to stay and live alone, but free in her mansion. Free to do anything she wanted. As long as she kept the mansion's existence in secret like her mom said so. But wait, if she lives secretly in her mansion, where did everyone in public believe she lived? The answer: a small, simple house in front of Midtown High. Also, arranged by mom. And another secret Jessie carried... she was, like our girl Kamala Khan calls, a proud lover. With a huge preference on other girls. Maybe she didn't owe her birth dad any satisfactions. Or her mom influenced her into liking girls. Once in a week, she'd temporarily date a different girl in New York. Felicia Parker. Anya Corazon. Gwen Stacy. Cindy Moon. Some girl named Minerva who had a complicated relationship with her ill-minded parents. (panel changes to Gwenpool throwing away some papers) And the list goes on. Along with some one-sided crushes she had on other girls who are straight. (small images reveal that Jessie's crushes include Mary Jane Watson, Kamala Khan, Lana Baumgartner Summers, Liz, and Marina Argo, before these panels are ripped apart) But, let's not keep checking on her personal life too deeply, shall we? Instead, let's check on... what's become of her mansion after she and Rose drew their last breaths. You're probably thinking it's become an "abandoned, haunted house", right? WRONG. (flashback showcases Peter Parker and his friends receiving Jessie's last will; voice over) As part of her last will list, Jessie eventually bequeathed her mansion to our big boy Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man, and his friends from Horizon Academy, who had recently lost parents and other family members. And they settled to live together as a new family. Yes, sir. This beautiful mansion will be the perfect paradise for Peter and his friends to live happily ever after, and together. And... if you're wondering what's become of the other house... the one she publicly lived in front of Midtown High... well, Flash kept it. But fortunately, he won't know anything about the mansion. Nuh-uh. He and his dad don't deserve to.
“The Best Friend”
(issue starts with Peter and Kamala jogging at their new home's neighborhood)
- Kamala Khan: (catches up to Peter and runs past him) On your left.
- Peter Parker: (panting) Hear ya, Double K. (next scene, Peter and Kamala are walking back to the mansion; voice over) Yep, that's me. Jogging at my new neighborhood with my new and real best friend. Sweet and cute Kamala Khan, publicly known as fanfic writer SlothBaby, secretly known as the superheroine Ms. Marvel. And in the day after we moved together with the rest of our friends to our new home, in Fire Island. In this large, beautiful mansion we inherited from Jessie Avril as part of her last will before her demise. The mansion she and her late mom Rose kept in secret for years. Especially from her brash ex-husband Harrison and bratty son Flash. And a secret we vowed to keep. We're still visiting New York, where we're still enrolled in Horizon Academy. And also still visiting the people we love in there. Like my aunt May, who's now living with Hunter, Jess and their kids in their mansion. Same about Carlie, Molly, and others. And whatever's coming at us, we're handling it just fine.
- Kamala Khan: Same ride with our bikes, next time?
- Peter Parker: Yep.
(Kamala goes on to play tennis ball with Sam Alexander, as Peter is approached by Mary Jane, Gwen and Anya)
- Mary Jane Watson: So, Tiger? How was it with Kamala?
- Peter Parker: Said it once, I'll say it again: so much better than the time I spent with Harry.
- Gwen Stacy: And you know... we still think it was very sweet of you when you confessed to Harry that Kamala is your real best friend.
- Peter Parker: Yeah. Even though I didn't directly mention her by name...
- Anya Corazon: We know. You didn't want that Junior Goblin to know it's Kamala to avoid making him jealous of her. Same reason why you kept your relationship with MJ in secret from him and all others you don't trust. Especially that big ogre Flash Thompson. Am I right?
- Peter Parker: Yeah, very much. Speaking of that ogre... did I mention that Kamala even made a sheep out of him?
- Anya Corazon: No, you did not. Until now...
- Peter Parker: But, she did. Twice. And by "making a sheep out of him"...
- Anya Corazon: ...you mean to say she made him fear her?
- Gwen Stacy: Humiliated him?
- Mary Jane Watson: Made him scream like a damsel-in-distress and cry like a baby?
- Gwen and Anya: (astonished in unison) Oooooooh.
- Anya Corazon: Now that's fire, girl.
- Peter Parker: Yep. She did all that to him. Again, twice. (flashback shows Kamala wearing a black leotard with Captain Marvel's symbol and a red vest, and jogging in a street of New York; voice over) First time happened a day before we first formed the New Avengers to fight Ego. She was jogging in New York like we were doing today, minding her own business, no one to complain about that leotard she was wearing in public whatsoever... until she heard an unholy voice yell...
- Flash Thompson: (off-screen) HEY! YOU!
- Peter Parker: (voice over) It was that loathsome ogre. He was arguing with a bunch of girls who were also minding their business by playing basketball, until he meddled with their fun. With all that "Women are no good for manly sports" rubbish he learned from his vice-principal John Flynn. Maybe also from his idiot father Harrison. Flash didn't even know who she was, but he sought to challenge Kamala anyway just to "make an example". What a mistake, that was.
- Kamala Khan (flashback): You want me to make an example for them? (removes her vest, and hands it to a player next to her) Fine, but let just warn you: you will regret it.
- Peter Parker: (voice over) And yeah, she made him regret it. As smart as she was, she was also just as athletic. (montage shows Kamala scoring against Flash with numerous dunks and long shots, and Thompson just falling in the ground; voice over) And one of the girls recorded it all with her phone, and showed me and the boys from Horizon. With every dunk and long shot Kamala did, Flash would fall in the ground twice.
- Gwen Stacy: (voice over) And how many dunks and shots did she do?
- Peter Parker: (voice over) Kamala, 10... Flash, nothing. (next scene, Kamala continued jogging while the girls mocked Thompson; voice over) When it was over, Flash had nothing but these girls chanting: "Sheep-Boy! Sheep-Boy! Sheep-Boy!". (in the flashback, Thompson tried to hit Kamala by throwing a ball at her, voice over) And nothing that Flash could've done would've changed that. Let alone taking his anger on her. (flashback shows Kamala dodging, and the ball hitting the car of a group of greasers, who subsequently begin beating Thompson up; voice over) No, it just made things worse for him. By getting him in trouble with a bunch of angry greasers from Yancy Street.
(cut to the present, where the MJ, Anya, and Gwen are watching the recorded video in Peter's phone)
- Anya Corazon: Wow. Falling twice in the ground with every dunk and shot, which means he fell twenty times. I wonder how his face stayed intact.
- Gwen Stacy: No idea. Only that Flash's luck really wasn't at its best, that day.
- Mary Jane Watson: And something tells me the second time was a lot worse for him.
- Peter Parker: It was. Not because he was beaten up... and he wasn't that time like he deserved to be... but because a lot of nerds and teachers, including from Midtown High, watched. (flashback takes place in a science event; voice over) It happened in the day after Harry yelled at me, and accused me of "working for Spider-Man". You know. And, one day before that infamous incident in Life Foundation. I was in this competitive event of geniuses, also minding my business... trying to forget about what Harry said... until that ogre came. He wasn't interested in winning the contest. And why would he? No, he was just there to personally mock me over what he heard about me and Harry. That was... until she came. (flashback shows Kamala entering the event, and Thompson reacting in shock and freezing in fear; voice over) And in the moment she came, Flash froze in fear. Almost as if he was a zebra and saw a lion lunging straight at him. Maybe also a rookie video game player being put in a very hard boss battle. He didn't forget how much she embarrassed him in front of those girls and the greasers. And he was very afraid she'd do the same for the nerds he mocked so much. Spoiler alert: his fear was being realized.
- Event Host (flashback): Who would you like to challenge for this event, mrs. Khan?
- Kamala Khan (flashback): Because I know this "Sheep-Boy" like some sportsgirls and greasers at Yancy Street call him is here to mock those geniuses and not really to compete in the event, I choose... Flash Thompson!
(Thompson reacted in shock, as most nerds and teachers glared angrily at him, others smiled mockingly)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) Only one word to describe how much that moment would make Flash completely afraid of her. One that even rhymes with her name: KARMA. (montage shows Kamala beating Flash in presentation of inventions; she shows the guests a function anti-gravity device, while Flash presents a poorly made cardboard volcano. She is later shown beating Flash in a quiz game; voice over) He thought he'd be the wolf among sheep. But he became the sheep among wolves.
- Quiz Host (flashback): Which is faster? The speed of light or the speed of sound?
- Kamala Khan (flashback): The speed of light, which travels at 300 million meters per second in a vacuum, while sound travels at about 343 in air.
(flashback shows Kamala and Thompson in a table for the final event)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) And what was perhaps the most frightful part of the competition came in the form a square board with 32 light squares and 32 dark ones.
(in the flashback, Kamala and Thompson at put to play chess)
- Gwen Stacy: (voice over) Chess.
- Peter Parker: (voice over) Correct. Flash looked at those pieces as if he was looking at a bunch of spiders, rats and other critters expecting to bite him. Kamala just saw each piece as a pencil. And that chess board as a notebook to write fanfiction. And she didn't feel sorry about taking advantage of that. (in the flashback, Thompson fearfully moved the first pawn, while Kamala calmly made the more strategic moves, starting with a pawn from the king's position; voice over) She just took this little guy to e4... (Kamala moves bishop; voice over) ...this wizard guy to c4... (Kamala moves queen; voice over) ...this big girl to f3... and when Flash foolishly continued moving his first little guy forward... (Kamala moves queen; voice over) Kamala took her big girl to take down this little guy from f7, and...
- Skull King Hologram (flashback): (abruptly appearing in front of Thompson, startling him) CHECKMATE!!!
- Peter Parker: (voice over) ... Flash was finished.
- Anya Corazon: (voice over) The Schoolar's Checkmate.
(scene cuts to present)
- Peter Parker: You know that one, don't you?
- Anya Corazon: One of the quickest checkmates in the book of chess. My mother used it on me and Kamala a lot of times when we played with her.
- Peter Parker: You two learned well. (in flashback, Thompson runs away with others laughing at him, others chanting "Sheep-Boy"; voice over) And to resume... for the second time in that very week, Kamala made a sheep out of him. He wasn't gonna show his face to anyone else for a long while.
- Flash Thompson (flashback): (crying) MOOOOOMMYYYYY!!!!
- Peter Parker: (voice over) Yeah, he'd be treated as a joke for everyone. And I could again mind my own business, and hang out more with Kamala without even my not-so-best friend Harry to complain about us.
(flashback shows Peter leaving with Kamala, as the two happily shared a smile; flashback ends)
- Anya Corazon: (seeing the recorded video in Peter's phone) Dare I admit it. I did not expect to see my sis making a tough guy like Flash scream like a damsel-in-distress, and cry like a baby. But gosh, it was satisfying.
- Peter Parker: Yeah. It sure was. (sees Kamala hanging out with Sam) And while Flash's ashamed of even talking to Kamala, now... I know I'm all proud to call her what she is: my real best friend.
“Winged Tigers”
(Peter and the boys reluctantly accept an invite to participate in the football match)
- Peter Parker: The sooner this is over, the sooner we go back to study for our exam. I more personally don't want to be around these big fat ogres any longer than I was forced to.
(after Thompson is publicly humiliated by one of the administrators with footage of his defeats at Kamala's hands, Peter is at his locker room, until Thompson confronts, although Peter is not scared)
- Peter Parker: Go ahead, Flash. Yell. Yell until your voice breaks. It won't change what everyone saw or heard.
- Flash Thompson: Did you show that to anyone?!
- Peter Parker: Uhh, and here you go.
- Flash Thompson: DID YOU?!!
- Peter Parker: If I did, I would've laughed at you like everyone did. But I didn't, because there's nothing funny about you.
- Flash Thompson: You wanna get clobbered?! Like those other losers I had to get out of the way?
- Peter Parker: By "losers", you speak of me and my team? Or those other teams I know you sabotaged to prevent them from playing?
- Flash Thompson: Of course, it's those other losers! You really think I care if they can't find more uniforms like the ones I gave to the dogs?! Or if their lockers are filled with the frogs I found in the swamp?! Of course I don't, 'cause they'll never know! And you're not gonna tell anyone!
- Peter Parker: You're right. You already did.
(Peter points at the other direction, and Thompson sees the infuriated administrators, the coach, and Captain America)
- Flash Thompson: (shocked) Uhh, I... I can explain.
- Captain America: No need. We've heard everything. Just like you, Thompson... have done enough!
- Flash Thompson: It's... it's not what you think! (points at Peter) He did it! He--
- Administrator #1: Are we really supposed to believe that?! He specifically stated he and his friends had no interest in the sport. They were only here because you challenged them. Claiming they had no experience! Believing they would be easy to beat without cheating!
- Peter Parker: And also tried to waste the time my friends and I needed to study for our exam.
- Flash Thompson: (to Peter; angrily) You better shut up, or the only thing you're gonna study for is my foot in your...!
- Captain America: (interrupts by aggressively slamming his shield in a locker, scaring Thompson; furiously) THOMPSON!!! WE ARE NOT DONE WITH YOU, YET!!!
- Administrator #2: And look what we found in your locker. (shows Thompson his bag of itching powder) Pretty much the same bag the police found in the Empire State High's team.
- Administrator #3: And also this. (shows Thompson his box of fireworks) The same fireworks which blew up Bilderberg's gym.
- Captain America: If there's one thing I hate more than a bully, it's a cheater. And you, Eugene Thompson, proved to be both. And an embarrassment and disgrace to your school. Perhaps, every school in our country.
- Administrator #1: Gather your personal items and equipment, and leave back to your school. You and your Iron Marauders are banned from this stadium and disqualified from the game and the championship. You disgust us, boy. You always have.
- Flash Thompson: (shocked) But... but, I...
- Captain America: No "buts". Just do as they say. And for the sake of the reputation you have left, stay away from the Horizon Academy students. Or there will be more dire consequences for you and anyone who follows you.
(Thompson leaves in tears. Then, Rogers turns his attention to Peter)
- Peter Parker: I know, my team and I are disqualified, too. Aren't we?
- Captain America: No, Peter. You and your team performed well and played by the rules. And you revealed the truth about him. Thanks to Tony's drones, we saw everything. (removes his shield from the locker) Also, sorry I probably startled you by raising my voice on him.
- Peter Parker: No need to apologize. I wasn't that scared because I knew he was the one in trouble. (next, the Winged Tigers are at the Award Ceremony, receiving their prizes while the Iron Marauders leave defeated, with the public protesting against them. We also see other schools' jocks sharing handshakes with the Winged Tigers) (voice over) For a second or two, I thought this championship would've completely wasted mine and my friends' time. Thank the Allfathers it didn't. Just by disqualifying those ogres by getting Flash to reveal the truth about what he did, we managed to win quicker than anticipated. And also won other jocks' respect after that. (As they are about to leave, Peter and his friends notice Midtown High's students soberly delivering trophies) Okay, what's all that?
- Marcus Allan: Midtown High's prefects did a wager. If these ogres won, you and some of the students would have to leave Horizon and go back to study at their school.
- Peter Parker: Ugh! Glad they didn't win, then. And if we won...?
- Marcus Allan: ...we'd keep all of their trophies.
- Peter Parker: Personally, I have no use for these stupid trophies that Flash has been so obsessed with. Too much reminder to these days Flash kept mocking us, and wanting us to be jealous.
- Marcus Allan: Feeling's mutual. But you know what they say...
- Peter Parker: I know. "It's not polite to refuse a gift, even if it's not what you want". I heard that before. But I still think these are useless.
- Mary Jane Watson: Well, we can always put them in the attic. In a chest for useless items.
- Kamala Khan: Can we go home now, please? We've got an exam to study for. We've wasted enough time here with these loathsome sheep-boys.
- Peter Parker: Yes, Kamala. Let's go home.
(he and the gang move on)
- Lana Baumgartner Summers: So, all of these Midtownies are sheep-boys, now?
- Felicia Parker: As long as they're sticking under Thompson's shadow, yeah.
(the gang leaves as Max Modell and Midtown High's principal watch)
- Max Modell: So?
- Midtown High Principal: I know, Modell. Whatever mistakes Flash and the other jocks commit, Midtown High will pay for it. Just like I know we got banned from the football championships for the next 10 years for what Flash and his closest colleagues have done to other schools' players.
- Max Modell: Hmm. Good answer.
- Midtown High Principal: Just one thing?
- Max Modell: It better not be another wager.
- Midtown High Principal: No, no wager. Just... do you have any copies of the exam your students are studying for?
- Max Modell: (gives an annoyed look; to himself) I see where this is going. (to the principal) Yes. I have plenty.
“The Ogres, Part 1: Midnight Peril”
(issue begins with Peter and his friends in their mansion. They are reading several books)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) And to clear our heads out this big waste of time at the football field, my friends and I finally got the time we needed to study for our big exam. Filling our brains with all the academic knowledge we needed to get the best grades. (scene cuts to Flash in the principal's office; voice over) As for Flash and all of Midtown High... obviously enough, they were about to pay a frightful price for the big mistake he made. And he alone would be to blame.
- Flash Thompson: I'm sorry for all this, Principal. I promise it won't happen, again!
- Midtown High Principal: Of course it won't happen, again. Why? Because you're no longer our school's football team captain! (takes the football ball off Flash's hands) And you are no longer allowed to play football for the rest of the year! What you did to those other schools' teams, and conspired to do to Peter Parker... all of this is unforgivable. Not to mention it cost us the trophies our most prized students have won for our school, years ago! You have no idea how lucky you are to be still here, and not in jail. Where some students even say is where you belong! Where they said men like your father belongs!
- Flash Thompson: Just give me a chance! One chance! I promise it won't happen again.
- Midtown High Principal: Fine. But this is your last warning. And your chance to redeem yourself. If you blow it, you won't even set foot in this school. Ever again. (to the school via speakers) Attention, students. This is your principal speaking. I would like to inform you that, as consequence for Flash Thompson and the Iron Marauders having challenged the students of Horizon Academy for this football match and lost at the cost of our trophies... you are all assigned to take on the same exam which Horizon Academy's students are studying for. Next day.
(in a suspenseful moment, the students react in shock, and scream in panic off-screen. Gwenpool overhears it all from outside)
- Gwenpool: (breaking the fourth wall) Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Looks like that ogre Flash Thompson's plan to personally bully our boy Peter Parker did not just fail, but also got not just him, but also got his whole school in trouble. Not even Spider-Man will be saving them, this time.
(a bird-like drone with Phoenix Talon's logo is shown watching everything and flying in the air)
- Peter Parker: (voice over; to himself) You've really outdone yourself this time, Parker. Exposing Thompson for the things he did... and getting not just him but everyone who worshiped him to face the consequences for his big mistake. And everybody's gonna hate him for the rest of the year. Maybe also for the rest of their high school years.
(next, the students are studying hard from Horizon Academy's books, while angrily facing Flash)
- Midtown High Student #1: (sarcastically) Nice hit, freak!
- Midtown High Student #2: (sarcastically) Thanks a lot. For getting us all in this mess, Dumbson!
- Midtown High Student #3: Go study somewhere else with someone else. This isn't your study group!
(at night, Thompson, CK, O'Reilly, O'Grady are Richardson are at the neighborhood of the Parker family's former home, hiding in their car)
- Seymour O'Reilly: I still think this is a terrible idea, Flash. We already got in trouble this morning when everyone found out about what we did to the other schools' jocks. What do you think's gonna happen when they find out we thrashed this house because you wanted revenge on Parker?
- Flash Thompson: Nothing. 'Cause, nobody's gonna know. And no one will believe him, and... (notices O'Reilly reading a book, and takes it from him) could you let go of that stupid book and focus?!!
- Seymour O'Reilly: But we're supposed to be reading those to study for tomorrow's exam! The Principal said--
- Carl "CK" King: (interrupts) Let's ditch Parker, first. And study later.
- Flash Thompson: You said it, CK. (they grab a number of rocks, and start throwing them at the house, waking up the unseen, current owner) I think we got his attention. Keep it up, guys. Once he's out, we give him the mud bath he deserves.
- Seymour O'Reilly: For cryin' out loud, Flash. Can't we just--
- All: SHUT UP, SEYMOUR!
- Flash Thompson: (the front door opens) He's coming! Balloons, now! (right before they can see who the owner is, Thompson and the jocks throw their mud balloons at them) Gotcha!
- ???: (grunts) Flash?! Is that you?!?!
- Eric O'Grady: Uhh, Flash? That doesn't sound like Parker.
- Seymour O'Reilly: (horror-struck) It's not Parker!
- Flash Thompson: Then, who is it?
(the owner wipes the mud out of her body, revealing who she really is)
- All: MINERVA?!!
- Gwenpool: (breaking the fourth wall) Yep. They're in trouble, for sure. With this girl, as you notice... (flashback plays; voice over) Minerva Gonzales. Daughter of the brilliant yet insane Athena Gonzales of Athena Industries. A couple of days before Peter went to travel into the Sacred Multiverse, Minerva interned at Oscorp. And eventually, dr. Curt Connors was hired by Athena to inject her daughter with a serum meant to make her "perfect". But it instead mutated her into a monster. (back to present; voice over) One that these ogres just triggered.
- Minerva Gonzales: (as she rages, her body begins to overheat) Flaaaaaaaaash...! (loudly). FLAAAAAAAAASH!!!
(Minerva bursts in flames, as the jocks watch in horror)
- Flash Thompson: Holy ####!! What's going on?!!! (from the flames, Minerva emerges transformed into a red-skinned, Goblin-like monster) Oh, my g-- I can't believe it! (before she can act, CK runs the car over Minerva) CK?! WHAT'D YOU DO?!
- Carl "CK" King: That's not Minerva anymore, Flash! That's the DemoGoblin! I saw her fighting Spider-Man at Brooklyn. Let's get outta here before--
(the lights turn on, and the citizens observe what happened; one witness records them with her cellphone)
- Citizen #1: Did you see that?!
- Citizen #2: Burglars!
- Citizen #3: Attacking people with their car!
- Citizen #4: Someone! Call the police!
- Flash Thompson: Run!
(they board the car, and rush off. The DemoGoblin is shown recovering from the debris and is hissing)
“The Ogres, Part 2: Horizon Avengers”
(issue opens with Peter and his friends, who are in their beds, still studying)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) And, even in bed... we were still studying for our exam. For a few more minutes before going to sleep. (a panel shows Bailey, Ben, Cassie and Collin sleeping; voice over) Except, of course, for these four. Who were going to daycare. With no special schedules or events to be prepared for. (we see Peter again in his bed; voice over) You're probably wondering: "Did you know Flash and his gang of ogres were planning to prank you during bedtime? In the eve of your exam?" Yes, I knew that. And yes, my friends and I had prepared a very secret and effective countermeasure against that. One that Max approved, and even helped about.
(we see Thompson with the jocks in their car, driving at night)
- Flash Thompson: I think we lost her. We're gonna be okay.
- Joshua Richardson: We should just call help. Like the Avengers. They know how to handle Minerva, and--
- Thompson, O'Grady and CK: NO!
- Joshua Richardson: My phone!
(CK throws Richardson's phone out of the car)
- Carl "CK" King: Are you crazy?! What do you think's gonna happen when superheroes like the Avengers find out what we're doing this late?!
- Eric O'Grady: We already had the entire school hating us for what happened in the football game. We don't need an entire city hating us for what's happening now.
- Flash Thompson: You're right. And I got just the idea.
- Seymour O'Reilly: No, Flash! I know what you're thinking. No! This is not gonna work! Let's just get back home and-- (a siren sound is heard; horrified) ... oh, no...
(they see a bunch of police cars behind them)
- Police Officer: (through speakers) This is the NYPD! Pull over to the curb!
- Seymour O'Reilly: (panicking) No, no, no, no! NO!
- Eric O'Grady: (to himself) Don't panic! Don't-- (notices a cameraman sitting next to a cop) Flash... they've got a camera.
- Flash Thompson: No. No! Not a camera!
(their car is surrounded by a spotlight, which is coming from a NYPD helicopter following them)
- Joshua Richardson: We got even a chopper in your tail?! This can't get any worse...!
(suddenly, DemoGoblin leaps in the car, and shrieks)
- DemoGoblin: FLAAAAASH!!!!
(the jocks scream in panic)
- Carl "CK" King: FLASH! STEP ON IT!
(Thompson turns over, tossing DemoGoblin aside, and the chase continues)
- Gwenpool: (voice over) And so it happened: those four nutjobs had a plan, but that plan failed. And now, here they are. Running from the law and from a vicious monster for exactly six hours. Six hours before one of them gets a much more stupid and idiotic idea...
(Thompson drives towards Horizon Academy)
- Seymour O'Reilly: Flash? Flash, what are you doing?!
- Flash Thompson: This is our only chance!
- Joshua Richardson: No, no, no, no! Bad idea! We don't have time!
- Flash Thompson: We're gonna make it!
- Eric O'Grady: It's no use, Flash! Don't do it!
- Seymour O'Reilly: Flash, stop!
- Joshua Richardson: STOP!!
- Carl "CK" King: You're gonna kill us!!
(as Thompson keeps driving towards Horizon Academy, an energy barrier starts covering the car and DemoGoblin. Just as Thompson is about to clash, he along with the jocks, the car and DemoGoblin are warped elsewhere. Gwenpool sees everything from her room)
- Gwenpool: (breaking the fourth wall) And look where they just got themselves into. Because of their big man's stupidity, these nutjobs fell prey to the trap Peter and his friends set up for their mansion, and their school: the Nexus Web, a high-tech defense system programmed to temporarily warp intruders into digital dimensions before bringing them back to the real world. How long are they staying there? Not too long. Where are they going now? Just watch, True Believers.
(the jocks, mutated into humanoid animals, are defeated by the Horizon Avengers)
- Captain America (Peter Parker): General Rogers, this is Captain Parker. We've apprehended Loki's minions.
- General Rogers: (radio voice) Good job, Captain.
- Ms. Fantastic: We're bringing them in for interrogation, soon.
(SHIELD agents surround the jocks, and apprehend them)
- Flash Thompson: Wait, Parker. Wait! (Captain Parker ignores him) It's me, Flash! From Midtown High!
- Ms. Fantastic: Shut up and move it, Sheep-Boy!
“The Ogres, Part 3: Real Wild Horizon”
(issue opens with Peter and the teens waking up, leaving the mansion to attend Horizon Academy, and take the exam)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) It worked just the way we wanted: no bullies to disturb us at night. No idiots to step in the way. Just us, and the exam.
(the students get their reviewed exams)
- Susan Storm: Have a nice day with your friends, Peter. And congratulations for your wonderful grades.
- Peter Parker: Thank you, Sue. (voice over) And just what we wanted. To leave earlier thanks to our excellent grades.
- Gwen Stacy: It's almost like we didn't even need those books for those studies. Am I right or not, guys?
- Anya Corazon: Right you are, honey. Right you are.
(they notice the police investigating the tracks left by the jocks with their car)
- Gwen Stacy: And it looks like Peter's plan worked. Now those ogres are trapped in these other dimensions where the Nexus Web sent them to.
- Anya Corazon: Now we just have to wonder: where are they going? And how long are they staying there? Did you think about that, Peter?
- Peter Parker: Of course. I programmed the Nexus Web to keep them trapped for exactly 12 hours; four in each dimension. Starting with the moment they entered, before being warped back to reality. But somewhere else away from Horizon Academy.
- Anya Corazon: I see. (checking the data) And according to this, Thompson and those nutjobs with him entered the Nexus Web at exactly 4 AM. So, I guess they should be back at 4 PM.
- Gwen Stacy: So, I guess we don't have to worry about them. I do wonder, though... (we see Max Modell in a computer room; voice over) what could these dimensions where they're going through be like?
(in the second dimension they are at, Thompson (who was transformed into a humanoid, prehistoric sheep) tries to get his car to work)
- Flash Thompson: Come on! Come on! Don't do this to me! (notices O'Reilly shaking in panic in the passenger sit, and pulls him out of the car) Will you stop acting like a damsel in distress and help get the car moving?!! (O'Reilly joins CK and O'Grady in trying to pull the car. But, soon the car's engines explode) No. No. No! NO! (he gets out of the car frustrated. Then, he turns his attention to O'Reilly, who is leaving) Wait, where are you going, Seymour?!
- Seymour O'Reilly: Somewhere else. Somewhere I can live!
- Flash Thompson: It's not my fault! It was--
- Seymour O'Reilly: (angrily) "Not your fault?" "Not your fault?!" OF COURSE THIS WAS ALL YOUR FAULT, FLASH! Because in case you've forgotten, messing with Parker and every student in Horizon, including that girl who called you "Sheep-Boy", was your idea! Pranking other jocks to stop them from making it to the football game was your idea! And now look at the disaster you caused to all of us! Your school got banned from the city's championship for the next 10 years! The principal punished us by getting us to take that exam that Parker and his friends were studying for! And now, this! The police and Minerva are on to us! And we're stuck here in this other world! BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PLAN TO PRANK PARKER AT NIGHT!!
(as O'Reilly continues yelling at Thompson, O'Grady, CK and Richardson notice water moving, and hearing the ground shake)
- Carl "CK" King: Uhh, guys? What's that?
- Eric O'Grady: (realizes horrified) Oh, no...!
- Flash Thompson: Eric, what is it?
- Eric O'Grady: I've seen it in a movie, before. When water moves like that in the ground... and we have this noise in the air... it means the bigger dinosaur is coming!
(suddenly, a tree falls over the car, crushing it. The jocks are shocked to see a large, red T-Rex)
- Flash Thompson: Please, don't be her. Please, don't be her! (the T-Rex senses Thompson's smell, and angrily breathes fire in the air; the T-Rex is DemoGoblin. Thompson is horrified) Oh, no! It's her! RUUN!!!
(they run away, as DemoGoblin gives chase)
- DemoGoblin: FLAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!
“The Ogres, Part 4: Rich in Fantasy”
(in the main reality, Peter and Gwen are walking on streets, and check on the kindergarten where the children Ben, Cassie, Bailey and Collin are enrolled. They meet one of the teachers)
- Teacher: Ben was shy, at first. But as you can see, he managed to get along just fine with other children. Same about Bailey, Collin and Cassie. Some children are even cheering them up over their loss of their parents.
- Gwen Stacy: That's a pretty good progress. For a while, we were afraid they'd get in trouble with bullies. Or other kids who are quite insensitive.
- Teacher: We assure you nothing wrong will happen them. Their new colleagues will be treating them just as fine as our staff will.
- Peter Parker: We're grateful to hear that. (next panels show Ben and some boys playing board games, Bailey talking to some boys, Collin playing ball with some boys, and Cassie with some girls wearing tiaras and playing with their dolls; Peter and Gwen are watching it all from outside) Yeah, definitely good progress. Nothing to worry about. So? You're off to do anything for free near home, tomorrow?
- Gwen Stacy: I think I'll be jogging in the morning with other girls. Just like you and Kamala in our first day.
- Peter Parker: Nice. (next, a police car stops, and the driver exits; it is Peter's cousin Jessica Reilly) Hey, Jess.
- Jessica Reilly: Still checking on your new little brother and his friends, cousin?
- Gwen Stacy: Just to see how well they're doing. I hope it's nothing we're doing wrong.
- Jessica Reilly: Nothing wrong at all. You're just doing your part. Proof that you're being as responsible as you promise to be.
- Peter Parker: Glad to hear that, cousin. (pauses) And I know. You want me and Gwen to tell you about the jocks who went missing last night, right?
- Jessica Reilly: No need. MJ told me and Hunter everything about it. How the Nexus Web works, what those brainless ogres are going through... the police only wants to know where they're going to land once their 12-hour-long experience expires.
- Peter Parker: (showcases a virtual map, showing the spot) At this part in the city. Just to make sure your men won't have too much trouble hunting them all over the city.
- Jessica Reilly: Nice. (notices Gwen giving a smug smile) That smile of yours tells you were on to something else. Weren't you, Gwen?
- Gwen Stacy: Just a while extra effect for those ogres' exit. To give a little blood red in their faces.
- Jessica Reilly: Can't wait to see it. (she is setting to get back to work, and pauses) 4 PM. Right?
- Peter Parker: Right.
“The Ogres, Part 5: Fallen Bullies”
TBD
(during the jocks' trial, Gwenpool reveals footage of Harrison Thompson's crimes)
- Flash Thompson: (bewildered and shocked) He... He did all this?! (sits down, and tears up) How?! How could he...?!
(elsewhere, Harrison is on the run from the police, until he stumbles upon Luna)
- Harrison Thompson: Outta my way, furball! Scram, or I'll throw you to the dobermanns! (Luna hisses) Didn't you hear me?! I said... (Luna transforms into Frostfang, as her hissing turns into growling) (horror-struck) No... No. No! (Frostfang roars and lunges at him) NOOOOO!!!!
(scene shifts to the streets, where the cops are alarmed by Harrison's scream, which scares away the birds above them)
- Female Cop: Looks like Jackpot's cat got her mouse.
- Male Cop #1: She didn't kill him, did she?
- Male Cop #2: Nah, she just toyed with him. (they find Harrison moaning off-screen in the ground) And saved the rest of him for us. Eventually...
(back in the court)
- Judge: Has the jury reached a verdict?
- Police Commissioner: We have, your honor. We find Eugene Thompson and his colleagues Carl King, Joshua Richardson, Seymour O'Reilly, and Eric O'Grady guilty of all charges. And sentenced to the New York State Prison for 20 years.
- Peter Parker: And Thompson's father?
- Police Commissioner: Also guilty of all charges, mr. Parker. But perhaps worse: sentenced to prison for life.
- Peter Parker: Make sure he rots.
- Police Commissioner: We assure you, he will.
- Flash Thompson: Parker, I mean... Peter. (sobbing) I know what he did was horrible. Can't you give me a chance? To prove I'm not him?
- Peter Parker: You were given that chance years ago. Back when we were still friends. Until your father came along. You could've sued him for someone who could help you. But you chose to live under his shadow. To hate everything he hates. All of it just to win his approval. Just like Harry Osborn, who threw away everything he had to make his father Norman proud. And now you're way beyond getting your second chance, Flash. Because the damage you both did... is done. There's no way back for either of you. And I can't, don't want to and won't follow you there. Goodbye.
(he and his friends leave. Flash is left with a broken spirit)
- Judge: Very well. Does the defendant have anything to say before we send him down the river?
- Flash Thompson: (sadly) No, your honor.
- Judge: Very well. (bangs the gavel down) Dismissed.
(the officers take the jocks away)
- Peter Parker: (voice over) "With great power comes a great responsibility", my uncle Ben once taught me. But some others like Flash's dad and Norman Osborn say and think that great power comes with a great reward, and great respect. But the "reward" and "respect" they sought also came with great consequences. Consequences that destroyed not just theirs, but their sons' lives as well. (a panel shows Minerva in her mental institute bed, shaking and screaming uncontrollably and angrily; voice over) And perhaps also brought about the worst of other people...
- Minerva Gonzales: (roaring) FLAAAAAAAAASH!!!
“Sea of Titans”
(issue begins with Marina Argo returning to the mansion, placing her well-graded exam in her belongings, suiting up as Wave, and flying around. She visits a cabin in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil; montage is following by her voice over)
- Marina Argo: (voice over) Hi, mom. It's me, Marina. I wish you could see the wonderful grades I just got in school, today. Just as good as the grades my friends got. And I'm checking on that old cabin you and I used to live in. That same cabin... or what's left of it, in the Amazon Rainforest. Nothing personal. I just... really miss it here. I miss the time I spent with you. I even miss the sweet little things you called me when I was a little girl: (flashbacks show Marina as a child swimming in Brazilian lakes and rivers, and Rio de Janeiro's beach; voice over) "Dolphin baby". "Mommy's little mermaid". "Bikini cutie". You know, those nicknames you gave me because of my passion for swimming everywhere I wanted. Even those baths you gave me, and even had with you. (flashbacks ends with Marina back flying back home in tears; voice over) I miss it all, including you. (as Marina is shown back in the mansion; more flashbacks display, revealing her origins as Wave; voice over) How it happened, I wish I could've forgotten, but I can't. My Mutant abilities kicking in, but only after those creeps working for that zealot Athena Gonzales from Athena Industries came by and took my father Andros and my mother Angela Flor away from me. Quite simply because Gonzales claimed that my father, who was a soldier from Sparta, had a relationship with "outsiders", like my mom. Gonzales thought of herself as a reincarnated Athena of Olympus, and accused my father of "betraying her brother Ares". It wasn't too long until Namor, the king of Atlantis found me, took me in as his disciple, and also took pity of me over what Gonzales and her men had done. That was also when he shared his people's tech with me, and I became Wave. I started doing what every superhero does, since then. Fighting crime, protecting the citizens, saving the day, everything. Except finding a place I could call home... until I met Dante and Sam, who had also lost their parents. They found me in their homestead, and let me live with them. (flashback ends, and scene returns to present day with a fully suited Wave flying over the sea; voice over) Now, I'm living with them and our friends from school who lost their parents and other legal guardians. In this beautiful mansion that Jessie Avril kept in secret for years, and bequeathed to us.

“The Curse of Prometheus”
(after his trial, William Stryker is given a death penalty. As Stryker is taken to prison, Spider-Man appears wielding Phoenix Talon)
- William Stryker: I suppose you heard what the jury said, didn't you? Are you here to finish this? To kill me?
- Spider-Man: Here? Now? Of course not. It's like you said to Logan when you once gave him his Adamantium skeleton. "You can't kill what's already dead... for the inside." (impales Stryker with Phoenix Talon, inflicting him with a curse) Have you heard of fates worse than death, Stryker? Because yours is just another one of them. Worst part... is that even in death, you'll still feel that curse.
- William Stryker: What...? What did you do to me?! WHAT DID YOU DO?!!
- Spider-Man: Just cast you an unbreakable spell we Knights of the Multiverse learned the minute we got our swords. A curse we inflict on scums like you and others who are beyond redemption. The Curse of Prometheus.
- William Stryker: Curse of what?!
(Jackpot and Ms. Marvel also appear)
- Jackpot: Have you ever heard about Prometheus? The Greek Titan who was once condemned to eternal suffering by Zeus for stealing fire from Olympus? He who was chained up in a mountain to have his livers eaten by an eagle daily, and then regenerated overnight, ensuring the cycle of torment continued eternally? Because you're getting a curse similar to that, Stryker.
- Ms. Marvel: And if that's not bad enough for you... (whispering in Stryker's ear) ...how about living in the body of that what Spider-Man just turned you into with that sword? That... what you hate the most in your life?
- William Stryker: (gasps) You can't mean to say I'm... I'm...
(a S.H.I.E.L.D.-owned Sentinel scans Stryker)
- S.H.I.E.L.D. Sentinel: Mutant lifeform detected. Designation: William Stryker. Genetic abilities: Advanced healing factor, limb regrowth and immortality.
- William Stryker: (shocked) No...! NOOOOO!!! (to Spider-Man; lividly) YOU DESPICABLE FIEND!!! YOU POISONED ME!!!
- Spider-Man: I'm pretty sure you already did that to yourself. When you let that Symbiote bond with you. And did the most unforgivable killings with it. Perhaps worse than the ones you've threatened to do in a village over a rock you were obsessed with. Some "friend of Humanity" you and your flunkies are. At least the Mutants you hunted don't consume members of their own kind like you did. (to Jackpot and Ms. Marvel) He's all yours.
(as Spider-Man leaves, Jackpot and Ms. Marvel grab Stryker by his arms)
- Jackpot: (to the officer) Ms. Marvel and I considered chaining this zealot up in a mountain. The coldest there is in the world. You got any ideas for where we leave him?
- Male Officer: I'd say Mount McKinley, in Alaska. They say it's the coldest mountain on Earth.
- Female Officer: I also heard it's where Thor banished some of those Asgardian ice monsters after that fight against the Dark Elves. Like those dog-sized snow spiders, and some of those Frost Giants that Loki once brought to New York. Not to mention that beast that was spotted in London.
- Ms. Marvel: Good choice.
(using a portal projected by the Quantum Realm, Jackpot and Ms. Marvel arrive at Mount McKinley, where they chain his head and neck up in a pillar)
- William Stryker: This isn't over! Do you two hear me?! I'll get out of here! And I'll find Spider-Man! And I'll... (he tries to break free, but the chain electrocutes him) What is this?!
- Ms. Marvel: The strongest chain Jackpot and I recently had the Dwarves of Nidavellir forge. Made of Uru, and this. (reveals a meteorite in her hand) Does it look familiar to you, Stryker? Isn't that the same Adamantium meteorite you threatened those innocent villagers for? They weren't even Mutants in first place. But that didn't stop you from giving your death threats unless they gave you the answer about where it came from, did it?
- William Stryker: That rock is mine! GIVE IT BACK!!
- Jackpot: (kicks Stryker back) From what I heard, that rock came out of the sky, and landed on their yard. And you took it upon yourself to try and take it away from them. You call yourself a military officer, but your obsession with that rock even got you to go against your superiors' orders to try and take it for yourself. If you weren't such a selfish hypocrite, you would've earned even a Celestial's respect. But all you'll earn now is an eternity of suffering at the jaws of your new neighbors.
- Ms. Marvel: (opens a portal back to New York) We'd both like to stay and watch you get eaten by the snow spiders and other monsters Thor banished here, but we don't wanna get cold. Toodles.
(as Jackpot and Ms. Marvel leave and the portal closes, Stryker is left surrounded by the numerous Asgardian monsters, including the snow spiders and Dark Wolves)
- William Stryker: Get away! Get away from me! (a Dark Wolf lunges at Stryker) No. No! NOOOO!!!!
Vol. 2: Multiverse of Legends
“For The Honor of Grayskull! (The Story of She-Ra)”
TBD
(in the flashback of She-Ra's origins, Adora, Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia have learned the truth about themselves and the Horde, as they stand before Angella of Bright Moon)
- Adora: Everything the Horde taught us. Everything they told us about... we learned it was all a lie. (lays down on her knees, while crushing her Horde badge) And I'm done believing that lie.
(Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia also ditch their Horde badges)
- Catra: Me too. They said the Princesses were a menace. But they never were.
- Entrapta: I thought Hordak and Shadow Weaver were just being rough. But it was worse than we feared. I don't think I can live with that.
- Scorpia: Me neither. (to Angella) So what happens to us, now?
- Angella: You rebelled against the Horde while other cadets stayed loyal to them. By saving other princesses from sharing the same fate, you've earned your new place. (offers her hand to Adora) With us.
- Adora: (getting up) Thank you.
- Angella: (hands Adora the Sword of Protection) You at one point doubted your worth in wielding the Sword of Protection. But the Sword made no mistakes. Nor would Mara. The Sword has chosen you to become Etheria's protector. To become She-Ra.
“May the Force Be With You (The Story of Luke Skywalker)”
(issue opens with Peter reading a second book)
- Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) Still moved by amazement over his journey into the Sacred Multiverse, Peter Parker continued learning more about his fellow Knights' principles. Now that he's done reading about Princess Adora's origin story as She-Ra, Peter moved on to the story of how Luke Skywalker came to be the greatest Jedi of his generation. (flashbacks showcase Luke's life in the original timeline) You very likely heard this story before: young Luke Skywalker became the hero of his story when he became integrated in a long war between the Rebels and the Galactic Empire. Along with learning the ways of the Force, Luke was also put in conflict with his own father: Darth Vader, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, who was once the Chosen One of an ancient Jedi prophecy predicting the balance in the Force... until the manipulations of Chancellor Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord and emperor Darth Sidious, led to Anakin turning to the Dark Side of the Force, starting the Great Jedi Purge, and becoming the terror of the Galaxy... until his interactions with Luke brought him back to the light, and allowed him to perform the ultimate sacrifice to help defeat the Empire. At least, that is how it happened in the universe you know. (flashback shifts to the other universe, where a young Anakin senses something, and is concerned) But in this universe, young Anakin developed a connection with the Force so strong, it allowed him to learn of Darth Sidious's identity sooner than anticipated.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: (alerted) Anakin?
(then, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn are shown in Coruscant, seeing Palpatine with a suspicious look)
- Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) And once Anakin learned the truth, so did his soon-to-be master Obi-Wan Kenobi and would-be master Qui-Gon Jinn after they felt the same disturbance in the Force.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Master...
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Yes, Obi-Wan. I sense it, too. The Chancellor is the Dark Lord.
(flashbacks continue showcasing Anakin's life story)
- Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) While all other members of the Council learned of the truth, they kept that awareness in secret until the time to reveal it to the Galaxy was right. Until they could catch the wicked chancellor off-guard. (in a scene, Palpatine is confronted by Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda after the evidences are exposed) And so, that said time came. But Darth Sidious's identity was not the only secret revealed.
(surprisingly, Padmé Amídala uses the Force to pull Palpatine's lightsaber out of his hands, and disarm him)
- Palpatine: (confused) What?! No! You too?! (Padmé Force-pulls Palpatine towards the window, and he lands in his ship)
- Padmé Amidala: No more secrets to hide, I believe...
- Yoda: Revealed, they were. But in the right time, it is.
(Anakin and Padmé approach each other passionately)
- Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) Still like in the universe you know, before his fateful fall to the Dark Side of the Force... Anakin sought to balance his duties as a Jedi with his star-crossed romance with Senator Padmé Amidala. One which would nevertheless give birth to the twins Luke and Leia. (a flashback shows a young Padmé with Qui-Gon, Yoda, Plo Koon and Yaddle) But in this universe, Padmé had a secret the Jedi swore to keep.
- Yaddle: Now, clear your mind of all emotions.
- Uatu the Watcher: (voice over) She too was connected to the Force.

- Glimmer: Or even the Red Sirens. What do you make of that, Adora?
- Adora: (inspects the intruder) Someone who's not even from this universe. And she's just one of the scums threatening the Multiverse. Just like those Hypersaurs. (raises her sword) For the honor of Grayskull!
(she transforms into She-Ra)
- Angella: If this is another multiversal threat like the Goblin Queen, you might need more than just the power of She-Ra to handle it.
- She-Ra: I know. That's why I'll also be sure to consult some old friends to help. Friends from the "neighborhood" like our Fifth Knight calls it.

- Optimus Prime: Peter Parker. Spider-Man. We apologize we might be entering your universe unannounced, but we require your aid.
- Peter Parker: I know. It's another threat to the Multiverse?
- She-Ra: Just like others of (about Timely) him who we pruned to the Void.
- Luke Skywalker: And according to the sources we found, they're all variants of an old enemy of the Avengers in your universe.

“Infinity Forces, Part 1”
- Gwenpool: (breaking the fourth wall) Well, True Believers... looks like things got a little more intense after previous issue. First, it was all about Peter and me collecting the Infinity Stones before someone else does. Then, this guy Victor Timely, who was clearly threatening to expose Peter's secrets if he didn't hand over the Stones. Until, of course... Peter's buddies from the neighborhood, the Knights of the Multiverse, came to kick Timely's butt, and reveal his terrible secret: he's a variant of Kang. Yes, you know who I'm talking about: Kang the Conqueror. One of the Avengers' greatest and most evil adversaries. A time-traveling, multiversal supervillain who sought to reshape the timeline in his image. He's also the leader of the "Council of Kangs", a secret evil cult of other variants of himself from the Multiverse. They're also led by Kang's three most dangerous variants: Immortus. Rama-Tut. And Scarlet Centurion. All of them had plans to reshape the Multiverse, and rule everything. But today, the Knights of the Multiverse were gonna put a stop to that, once and for all.

- Female Officer: Sounds like Spidey's got a new project in hand.
- Male Officer #1: Just like that toy factory. Wonder what it is, this time?
- Male Officer #2: We probably should ask him. Unless it's something secret that we can't know about.
- Construction Worker: (Spider-Man notices them) I think he heard us.
- Spider-Man: Can I help?
- Female Officer: Just wondering what new marvelous project you're working for this time. Which we figured is something entertaining like that toy factory you built, and Stark's head of security Hogan is administering.
- Spider-Man: Something bigger that might entertain not just kids, but all ages. But still needing to know which place I can use.
- Construction Worker: (sees the 3D model) There's this theme park near Buffalo that crashed out couple years ago due to the constant accidents that happened. They tried to fix the technical issues. But... still didn't work out. (scene shifts to him, the officers and Spider-Man in the said abandoned park) Maybe, it'll be of some use to you?
- Spider-Man: (the radar indicates the bankrupt park's area size is a match to the model) Good enough. Thanks. (walks into the center, and inserts the Infinity Egg) Now, to put you right here... (uploads the 3D model’s file in the Egg) ...fill you up with this, and... (returns to the entrance, where the officers and construction worker are, and gives them some safety dark goggles) You better cover your eyes, people. This might get a little too bright.

- Lyla the Echidna: How was it?
- Sally Acorn: It was really wonderful, Lyla. You followed the script just like Shadow and I wrote. And made a great impression of Tikal. (hugs Lyla) You sure are as talented as Vanilla said you were.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: With a talent like that, you could easily win like every award you'd be nominated for.
- Lyla the Echidna: (blushs) Oh, chucks. (chuckles softly. Then, she notices Sonic's sword sparking) Your sword's sparking, Mr. Sonic. Does it mean there's any nearby threat?
- Sonic the Hedgehog: No, it usually sparks like that... (looks behind, and sees Peter / Spider-Man coming with Sam / Nova and Anya / Araña; smiling) ...when a visitor and friend from the neighborhood comes.
- Sally Acorn: And he didn't come alone, this time.
(Sonic approaches and greets Peter and his group)
- Sonic the Hedgehog: So, what brings our way past cool fifth Knight and his pals to my universe?

“A Kitty's Day Out”
(while fighting Absorbing Man, Peter / Spider-Man is joined by Kitty Pryde / Ghost Cat)
- Ghost Cat: Mind if I tag along?
- Spider-Man: Be my guest, princess. (voice over) So, I know what you're thinking: Do I know this girl? Yes, I do. Since our first year of high school. Kitty Pryde. Good friend of mine. And one of my few personal superhero friends whose identities are not as secret as mine. (flashbacks showcase Kitty's origins) She was once one of my classmates at Midtown High. A very sweet and very happy cheerleader. She also very much disliked Flash Thompson and other jocks who enjoyed bullying nerds like me. Things took a pretty bad turn for Kitty when her parents, like many others in my neighborhood, were slain by that menace Arcade. And Kitty had that cheap cowardly liar J. Jonah Jameson to blame for what happened. A couple days later, Kitty's mutant powers kicked in right in front of everybody. Flash, who recently ignored her since Year One, wanted her to be their school's superhero. But she immediately rejected that idea. Quite simply: because she knew that idiot was planning to take advantage of her abilities as if she was his puppet. Or just another of these football mascots like MJ used to be before she dropped out. A decision that Kitty also took. She was out of options, as she couldn't afford going to any school where others would want to exploit her powers. That is, until Dazzler came along, and offered to enroll Kitty in Professor Xavier's mutant school. And she accepted. And of course, in the day Kamala first became Ms. Marvel, Kitty took inspiration from me and MJ, and decided to use her powers to perform superhero activities. On that day, she became Ghost Cat. She also underwent a series of costumes, until she eventually took this one... (referring to Kitty's pink leotard) which was made of Vibranium provided by Shuri during Black Panther's team up with the X-Men in Wakanda. Which also would allow Kitty to fight and move like a cat. (back in present) "How well is she doing with that suit?", you may ask... I'd say she'll do a lot better once it gets its next upgrade.
(facing defeat, Absorbing Man mimics metal from Phoenix Talon's shard)
- Absorbing Man: (laughs) Let's see how you'll save yourself now that I got your sword's power! (turns his fist into an axe, charges his body with fire and tries to attack Spider-Man. But suddenly, he stops) What's-- What's happening?!
- Spider-Man: You already tried that with Thor's hammer, once. And it didn't work well. How do I know the same won't happen to you with my sword? (commands his sword to drain Absorbing Man off his powers) If I was as dumb as you are and thought I was, I would've told you what I was gonna do, now. But... why spoil the fun?
(Absorbing Man completely loses his powers, and is reduced into a weak and overweight man)
- Kitty Pryde: That was a smart move.
- Spider-Man: Thanks.
- Kitty Pryde: (grabbing the broken blade) But, what about your sword? How are you gonna-- (sees Phoenix Talon regrowing its blade) Wow! It can regenerate itself. Nice.
- Spider-Man: As quickly as Wolverine's healing factor.
- Kitty Pryde: So... I guess I should keep that fragment, right? Because if we leave it here, someone might exploit it and use it to study the sword's weaknesses...
- Spider-Man: Which's why it's safe with you.
- Kitty Pryde: I won't let you down. (as soon as he leaves, Kitty notices the fragment turning into liquid metal) What the... (the sword begins merging with Kitty's suit; freaking out) YIKES!!! WHAT'S GOING ON?! (then, the fragment completely merges with her suit) Huh? (her gloves ignite fire; astonished) Oooooh...
(next scene, we see Captain Ultra freaking out and surrounded by a circle of fire started by Pyro)
- Captain Ultra: (screaming) Stop that fire! Stop it! Please!
- Pyro: What's the matter? (approaching the fiery circle) Afraid of fire?
(suddenly, Kitty's hand emerges from the fire, and grabs Pyro's face with her glove's claws)
- Ghost Cat: In about 10 seconds, you'll be even more afraid!
- Pyro: (frightened and confused) Kitty?! Is that you?! How--
(Kitty drags Pyro into the Fire Dimension, and starts beating him up off-screen. Her beating is heard from the outside as the flames get agitated. Then, Pyro is ejected from the Fire Dimension without his suit and gadgets, wearing only his underwear)
- Pyro: (freaks out and covers himself) KITTY, FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!! CAN'T YOU FIGHT ME WITHOUT-- (suddenly she emerges fashionably out of the fire. Others around her are astonished. Pyro is shocked) H-how...? They said you can't phase through the fire.
- Ghost Cat: (draws out her gloves' claws) Watch me, now.
(Kitty lunges at Pyro like a wild cat, as Pyro screams hysterically. Scene cuts to Spider-Man swinging elsewhere, and hearing Pyro's screams. He watches as Pyro runs around in panic with claw marks in his body)
- Pyro: HELP ME!! SOMEBODY!! HEEEELP!!!
- Spider-Man: From one sheep-boy to another.
