I'm making the Marvel Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 778 Spider-Man: Middle Age

Chapter 778 Spider-Man: Middle Age

"So, you're saying you'll bring me to this universe first, and then take Cindy to the next universe to see what's going on..."

Back at headquarters, Cindy and Jessica, who had rushed over, first took Cindy to a place to rest, while Peter pondered Miguel's suggestion for a moment. On one hand, the whole situation had been resolved in a rather disjointed manner; on the other hand, the current state of 616 was indeed unclear. There was a portal between the wasteland universe and Earth 616, but no useful information had been transmitted back from there.

Since there wasn't anything else going on, it was natural for Peter to help the alliance with their affairs. Peter had originally planned to take the others with him, but Cindy was still resting, and Jessica just looked at the two of them and said, "Haha, I won't bother you," before leaving.

So, Peter and Gwen will operate alone from here, and then once Cindy has recovered enough, Peter will take her along. (This was Peter's suggestion to Gwen.)

"Yes, that's right, and we've already chosen our target, it's this one... Earth 1616."

Earth-1616 is a universe that Peter isn't very familiar with, but it's related to him. Peter remembers his first time traveling through space, which was due to the plot of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," where they sent the Spider-Man from Earth-42 back there, thus prematurely ending the entire movie's storyline.

This has had a significant impact: the middle-aged,颓废 version of Peter Parker, who was supposed to be revitalized in the movie, no longer has the opportunity to take responsibility due to the changes in the storyline. As a result, he becomes one of the Spider-Men who refuses to join the Spider-League even when they come knocking.

So this can be considered part of after-sales service. Peter plans to see if there's any way to help this middle-aged man get back on his feet.

Peter then led Gwen to the teleportation device at headquarters. After Gwen roughly understood what type of Spider-Man they were going to face, she asked curiously, "Wait, why is he so dejected?"

"Well, he was Spider-Man for 20 years. A lot happened during that time. Aunt May passed away. His wife wanted to have a child with him. But he wasn't ready for that last thing, so he chose to avoid it and gave up being Spider-Man. After divorcing his wife, he became a couch potato."

Gwen didn't immediately grasp the connection between the two things. What did it mean that she was afraid of having children with her wife, so she gave up being Spider-Man and became a couch potato? Was there any necessary connection between the two things?

Who's his wife?

For some reason, Peter replied with an uncertain tone: "Mary Jane?"

Gwen nearly tripped and fell flat on her face, but Peter caught her in time. Gwen brushed her hair back and took a deep breath: "Okay... am I even in that world?"

"I'm not sure, and..."

"Most of the Gwen Stacy in the world is dead."

Peter nodded, picking up where Gwen left off: "Indeed, that's right."

Gwen, speechless, put on the hood and then the headgear. The two immediately activated the Multiverse Watch, opening a portal to Earth 1616.

"Alright, everyone, let's go through it one more time."

My name is Peter B. Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for the past 22 years, I thought I was the only Spider-Man.

The rest is pretty clear to you all: I saved New York, fell in love, got married, and continued to save New York. Many, many times, my relationships faced crises, and I made some risky investments. Oh, and remember, don't invest in a Spider-Man themed restaurant.

I also ruined Meryl Streep's life, and I divorced Michael Jackson...

"You're terrified because she wants a child?"

Gwen interrupted the 37-year-old Peter's mutterings. He was lying on the bed, eating pizza and talking to the two of them as they approached. Peter chuckled self-deprecatingly after hearing this: "Yeah, that's right. I just hung up on her. That must have hurt her, miss."

"Oh, right, there's also a group of Spider-Men from other universes who want me to join their club. Looks like they need a good mentor, but never mind, I'm pretty sure my city needs me more."

"I think this guy is beyond saving."

Gwen turned to look at Peter, who just chuckled. Peter, looking at the Spider-Man suit still on Gwen's body, asked, "Are you still Spider-Man?"

"Of course! My city needs me, how could I not become Spider-Man?"

Gwen and Peter looked at Fat Peter's little belly for a while, then shook their heads in unison.

At that moment, as if he had just remembered something, Peter sat up in bed: "Ah, it's time for the daily Spider-Man special again. Look, I'm about to be on TV."

Peter, the chubby guy, chuckled as he turned on the TV. Peter and Gwen then saw a balding, bespectacled Jonah James roaring in front of the screen: "That damn Joker Spider-Man is at it again with his so-called superhero antics! He rushed into the fire for his own personal heroism, seriously disrupting the firefighters' work..."

"See that? 22 years, 22 years of unwavering love for me, Jonah Jameson, ah, it's so heartwarming."

"He even blocked police from chasing a bank robber on 17th Avenue!"

"Did I do this? It seems so. Okay, is there anything else?" He then looked at Peter and Gwen: "You see, I know you mean well and think I need help, but I'm really fine, really, you can go back now."

Peter and Gwen were kicked out of Peter's small apartment. He had lost his home in Parker, Queens, and was now living in a penthouse storage room in an apartment building. After being kicked out, Gwen was still complaining, "I really can't believe that this guy is the same person as you, and that he's so... irresponsible."

"I find it hard to believe that he's not homeless yet..."

Peter picked up a plastic bag from the floor by the attic door as he spoke: "Looks like he's gotten the hang of delivering pizzas using spider webs. He seems to be planning to live a decent life, he just needs a trigger or an opportunity."

Peter looked up as he spoke, and a police siren sounded in the distance. Peter and Gwen hadn't planned to do anything until their super vision spotted another creature swinging on a spider web.

The two turned to look at the small attic where no one had left, and their expressions showed surprise.

Sony initially assigned the number 616 to the Spider-Man universe, or rather, for the entire Miles Morales film series, Sony intended to create a new parallel universe.

Then Marvel kicked it away, creating a bunch of nonsensical universes like Earth-616B, Earth-1610B, Earth-65B, etc.
