SPIDER-MAN: Hey, Miles, you're really warming up
to this "falling through a wormhole" thing.
There's way less screaming in terror this time.
MILES: Yeah, at first I was all,
"Ah, I'm in a wormhole! I'm freaking out!"
Then, after a while, you're like,
(YAWNS) "This is a long wormhole."
So, what are we doing here?
It all started when a mystical gem called the Siege Perilous was shattered,
scattering pieces across various dimensions.
Now, those pieces are coming back together,
and drawing all the different universes with them
on a collision course. And that's bad.
Like, end of all reality bad.
So, we're racing through all the alternate dimensions
to gather the shards and save the universes.
And to make things worse,
there's some creep called the Wolf Spider out there
trying to gather the fragments, too.
I don't know why, but I'm not looking to find out.
(YELLING)
Whoa! (GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
Hey, I've been here before.
(GRUNTS)
MILES: Wow!
This place is, like, retro-cool.
What's the deal with the colors?
Think of this world like an old movie.
The Spider-Man here is a friend. He'll help us.
I hope so. This place seems kinda dangerous.
Like, for example...
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Light 'em up, boys.
You got it, Hammerhead.
Aah!
(GRUNTING)
Let me guess. He didn't signal?
I've heard of road rage, but this is outta hand.
Spider? That you?
With a sidekick?
Sidekick?
(GRUNTS)
Oh, I'll give you a side-kick.
(GRUNTS)
Hey, you two look kinda familiar, but totally different.
We look different, says the guy in the tights.
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
The name's Thunderbolt, bug-man.
And this here's Jonesy.
How many times do I gotta tell ya?
Call me the A-Bombardier. (LAUGHS)
Shut up.
(GROANS) (GRUNTS)
Whoa, slow down. We came to stop this fight.
Put those weapons away.
(ROARS)
Nobody tells Mr. Fix-It's gang what to do.
Hulk too?
What is this, the "Gangsters of S.M.A.S.H."?
Um, Spidey, was there a Hulk the last time you were here?
No, and he's never been a gangster before.
So, we might be in trouble.
You and your gang are through, freak.
This territory belongs to Hammerhead now.
Yeah? Your goons are no match for us, flat-head.
Beat it, or you'll all get plugged, but good.
Nuts to that!
Let 'em taste your heaters, boys. (GUNS COCKING)
(ALL EXCLAIM)
(GROWLS)
(BOTH GRUNT)
BOTH: Whoa!
(ALL GASP)
Hammerhead, time for you to take a nap.
A dirt nap.
(GRUNTS)
Enough! This neighborhood is full of innocent people.
MILES: Including us!
SPIDER-MAN: And you don't care.
Whoa! Hey!
What just happened?
You're welcome.
You, I know. You, I'm not so sure.
You remember Miles. He came with you
in that whole Goblin portal thing.
Oh, yeah. I tried to forget that.
(CONTINUOUS GUNFIRE)
Thanks for the assist, Spider.
Now, let's go stop that battle!
Stop it? You flipped your wig?
They're doing us a favor. Say what?
Fix and Hammerhead and their gangs are just crooks bleeding this town dry.
If they finish each other off,
they'll be doing our jobs for us.
Okay, Mr. Negative. That's pretty bleak.
That's not what heroes do.
He's got a point, Spidey.
We're just here for the shard, really.
You're supposed to be on my side.
The kid's smart.
The war between these two has been raging for weeks,
throwing this whole town into chaos.
I say we let 'em end each other, once and for all.
I won't just stand around here while they destroy the city.
(GRUNTS)
You're not going anywhere, pal.
Don't do this! Step aside.
Um, bad guys are down there?
(GRUNTING)
(YELLS)
I've made the modifications, boss,
but I think that gem we found could be used for more than this.
Gimme that!
I pay you to make weapons, Marty.
Leave the thinking to me.
(GRUNTING)
Yo, Spider... Mans?
This is crazy. We're all on the same side!
Whoa! (GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
The other shard! It's close by!
(LAUGHS)
Check out my new convincer.
Ring-a-ding-ding, boys.
(YELLS)
(GROANS)
(LAUGHING)
What a pathetic waste of great power.
(GRUNTING)
Guys, the shard we're looking for is here,
in that creep's gun!
SPIDER-MAN NOIR: There's more at stake now than just a gang war.
That weapon is formidable.
You have no idea. The shard powering that thing
is what's crashing all our universes together.
I don't know about all your parallel universe mumbo-jumbo,
but I know when my city is in danger.
And that makes us a team now.
Sheesh. Finally we agree on something.
What are we waiting for? (GRUNTING)
Huh? (GROANS)
(GRUNTS)
Hello.
Three bug-men?
The Spider's got a gang now, too?
This town's gone bonkers.
(GROANS)
SPIDER-MAN: Hey, chrome-dome, over here!
Hey!
(GRUNTS)
You rotten spiders!
I'll pulverize ya! (SHOUTS)
Time Fix-It fixed you for good.
Whoa!
(GRUNTS) Sorry, Hulk. Or Fix-It, or whatever.
We're not doing that. Miles, where's the shard?
Now I'll show you all its power!
(GROANS) Good job. Now, give me that gem, Marty.
(GRUNTS)
Martin Li is no more, Hammerhead.
(ELECTRICITY PULSING)
(HAMMERHEAD GROANS)
There's a new boss in town.
Did things go this crazy the last time you were in this dimension?
No. Definitely not.
Whoa. You see that?
And I called you Mr. Negative.
"Mr. Negative." I like it.
You'll be Mr. Nothing when we're done with you.
Hit him, boys!
No!
(GRUNTS)
Boys, talk to me.
Whoa! Missed me.
That made up for it.
(GROANS)
(GRUNTING)
(YELLS)
Gentlemen, time to take a powder.
No way, you dumb mug. I gotta save my guys.
I know, Hulk. I mean, Fix-It.
But we don't even know what we're up against.
You're no good to your friends if you end up as a lawn ornament too.
Fine. But this ain't over.
We're coming back for them as soon as we can.
Fix-It don't abandon his own.
Do any of you have a problem with me
being the new boss?
BOTH: Uh-uh.
(GRUNTING)
Like what you've done with the place.
Haven't done anything with the place.
I know. I was...
They have jokes in your universe, right?
(SIGHS) Last time we met,
I thought you were headed somewhere brighter.
Things changed.
Too bad about your door.
But the bug's right. This place is a dump.
You're lucky Spider-Man saved you, Fix-It.
If it were up to me, I'd have let Negative turn you into a statue.
One less monster in this town.
Yeah, Spidey. Why are you working with him?
Like he says, this gangster
isn't much more than a monster.
Who you two calling "monster"?
Hey, play nice.
I just saved your green... Or gray tuches.
Besides, I know you're not a monster.
Hey, ask Mary Jane.
She'll agree. She always sees the best in people.
Not anymore. She's gone.
I don't understand. What happen...
Ask your friend. He did it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Hey, I remember her.
That Bugle reporter.
That wasn't on me, pal.
Can it.
(SCOFFS) You wouldn't believe me anyway.
You just think I'm a... What I am.
And that ain't ever gonna change.
You're wrong. Things can change.
What we need right now is some positivity.
You had your chance, New York.
Now, you belong to Mr. Negative!
(SIRENS WAILING)
Mr. N, the coppers!
(TIRES SCREECH)
What do we do?
Time to light up this town!
No! Aah!
VOICE: A powerful weapon... Huh?
Used to be only one Spider.
Then today, two more show up.
Now you.
It's getting too crowded.
I'm not with them.
And if you join me,
I will grant you unimaginable power.
Just give me that shard.
This little sparkly gives me all the power I need.
What I really want is less spiders.
(GRUNTS)
Short-sighted fool!
(YELLING) There are other shards to find!
I don't get it.
Martin Li was always chump change.
How'd that cut ice turn him into a somebody?
That "cut ice" isn't from this world.
It's a part of a crystal called the Siege Perilous.
Like this one.
I'm guessing the shard's acting like a quantum photonic lens,
absorbing light and color
and turning it into dark energy that feeds Negative.
Yeah, that cleared it up, egg-head.
He means that creep's using the crystal in his hand like an energy sponge.
Told ya you should have let me smash him when we had the chance.
For once, I agree with you.
And if it destroyed you in the process,
we'd be rid of two monsters...
Him and you.
(GROWLS)
I told you not to call me that!
SPIDER-MAN: Well, there goes your security deposit.
(GRUNTING)
(ALL GROAN)
Hmm. This bed's sort of convenient.
Saves a lot of space. Comfortable.
(GRUNTS) Or not.
(ROARS)
Stop! You both are slugging the wrong guy.
No. This has been a long time coming.
(GRUNTS) (GROANS)
You're all wet, bug-man.
Now you're going down the drain.
(GRUNTS) (GROANS)
(YELLING)
Ha!
That's just aces.
Aah!
(FIX-IT GRUNTING)
I sure hope the Spider puts an end to that Fix-It guy.
That'll get us nowhere. We should be working with Fix-It.
Why? He's just a goon.
He's more than that.
Hammerhead didn't care what happened to his people.
But Fix-It refused to leave his friends unless he knew we'd go back for them.
That kind of loyalty? That sounds like our world's Hulk.
I know there's good in him.
So, why are good guys fighting good guys?
Just seems like how things are done in this world.
That's the problem.
(BOTH GRUNT)
Boss, over here!
(LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS)
Standing in the middle of you two is getting real old.
Then stay out of the way!
(GROANS)
That's right, hold him.
MILES: Spidey's right.
I'll put this in a way you two can understand.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(IMITATING GANGSTERS) Here's the story, see?
Whether you crumbs vibe it or not,
you're on the same side of the bread, see?
Only way we 86 Mr. Negative
is to gum ourselves together, see?
(NORMAL VOICE) See, Spidey? We just got to talk like them
and they'll listen. (ELECTRICTY PULSING)
Get clear!
No!
Miles!
Miles, no!
Huh?
Hmm. (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
You can't hide from me. (LAUGHING)
(GRUNTING)
BOTH: Huh?
Scram, you two!
Thanks, Hulk. That ain't my name.
(GRUNTS)
(LAUGHS) One down, two Spiders to go, eh, boss?
Dragons, go find them.
You two couldn't stop fighting, and now we've lost Miles.
Maybe now you know how I felt,
losing Thunderbolt and A-Bombardier.
There he goes, pretending to care about anyone other than himself.
Why should I trust him?
In my universe, Fix-It is a hero called the Hulk.
Looks just like him, only greener.
What's "green"?
The point is, the Hulk is one of the bravest heroes I've ever known.
People treat him like a monster,
but he's sacrificed time and again to help others.
That's not me.
It could be. Either way,
the only way we beat Mr. Negative is together.
I told you, I'll never forget what happened to MJ.
He told you that wasn't his fault.
I'm supposed to believe that?
He just saved us.
Truth is,
I tried to save her, too.
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Hammerhead set the building to fall on top of me.
I tried to warn everyone to get out.
But that Watson girl, she was more than just a reporter.
She ran in to get people to safety.
Saved a lot of lives that day.
I held the place together long as I could.
(STRAINING)
(GASPS) No!
(YELLING)
(CRUMBLING)
But in the end, I tried my best,
but it wasn't good enough.
What your lady friend did?
The bravest thing I ever seen.
I never knew.
I'm... I'm sorry.
For what? Maybe if I'd been a better guy,
I wouldn't have been so quick to misjudge you,
and get Spidey's pal hurt in the process.
Together, for MJ.
What's the plan? We'll never get close
if we try to take the fight to him.
We have to bring him to us.
SPIDER-MAN: Heya, Martin Li. Marty!
Who dares?
SPIDER-MAN: Marty. Oh, Marty?
Spying on everybody with that searchlight? No, thanks.
(GRUNTS)
Fine. We can do this up close and personal.
Show yourself, cowards!
(GROANS)
I still don't get this plan.
It's simple. The only way to stop Mr. Negative
is to get the shard of the Siege Perilous back from him.
And the only way to do that
is to get him to use up all the power he's absorbed.
What if he gets his hands on your shard
and absorbs us in the process?
Why do you have to be so negative?
How about, "Great idea, Spidey"?
Probably 'cause it ain't a great idea.
(LAUGHS)
Really? I've never seen you laugh, but that makes you laugh?
SPIDER-MAN: They're here.
Punch my ticket, boys.
Now, little spiders, let's start the show.
Great. Don't miss the coming attractions.
(GRUNTS)
SPIDER-MAN NOIR: Whoa, Negative!
You're jumping at shadows.
SPIDER-MAN: Third time's a charm, sunshine.
Smoke and mirrors.
Face me like men. (GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
SPIDER-MAN: It's curtains for that guy.
Aah! (THUDS)
(GRUNTS)
Running out of gas, McNegative?
Over here, Negenstein!
(SCREAMS)
SPIDER-MAN: Boy, hope the henchmen union doesn't hear about that.
Come out and fight me, cowards!
My thought exactly.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Huh?
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
And now, I fix you!
(GRUNTS)
Can't believe it!
Let's make his sacrifice worth it! (GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING)
And now, to restore my power!
(GROANING)
Not so fast! Aah!
MR. NEGATIVE: No!
Yep.
(ROARS) (GROANS)
(ALL GASP) Huh?
Sweet applesauce, I'm alive! What was that?
(YELLS) Did I miss something?
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
Guess we really turned this Negative into a positive.
Yep, said it. Oh, brother.
MR. FIX-IT: Whoa.
SPIDER-MAN NOIR: Whoa. Everything's changed.
Hey, what gives?
You're not a monster anymore.
You're a hero.
This kind of power, though,
doesn't suit this city. Not yet, anyway.
It's better if you take it.
I owe you one, pal.
I have a feeling it won't be the last time.
Partners?
Bug-man, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
I'm here! I'm here! (GRUNTS)
So, looks like I missed a lot.
You can read all about it in the funny pages.
What does that even mean?
It means we've got another piece of the Siege Perilous.
One that Wolf Spider won't be getting.
Come on, let's go.
And that's our cue to get out of here.
Fade to black.
