Chapter 303. Breaking News

"Spider-Man!"

As the figure appeared in the office, Jameson's expression immediately became excited. The worry he had expressed all along had finally become a reality, "I knew it, I knew it! One day you would become a threat. Now, you have finally revealed your true colors, you evil little bug!"

"Did you come here to kill me?"

"You're really an annoying guy." Clinging to the wall, the evil Spider-Man looked at Jameson, who kept babbling, with obvious disgust on his masked face.

If it were the previous Spider-Man, although he was also unhappy with the Daily Bugle's coverage of himself, according to his character, he would only occasionally vent. He wouldn't do anything extreme.

However, things were different now, as he was the evil Spider-Man formed by the dark side of the previous Spider-Man.

Even if Jameson did nothing, it was unlikely to have a good outcome, let alone the fact that he had really done a lot of things that Peter hated.

"Actually, killing guys like you would be easy."

Under the mask, the evil Spider-Man hooked the corner of his mouth. "I have thought of a better way. Since you like sensational news so much, I'll help you become the star of the news."

"What?"

Jameson's heart was filled with anxiety at the evil Spider-Man's words. He looked at Spider-Man, who was completely different from the past, and his expression suddenly changed.

....

"No, Spider-Man, you can't do this!"

"Actually, I can do whatever I want."

As it turned out, Jameson, an ordinary person, had no resistance against the extraordinary power of Spider-Man.

So, a few minutes later, Jameson was seen hanging outside the Daily Bugle's building, completely stripped, except for his white underwear, suspended in the air by spider webs.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man held a camera, looking excited as he played the role of a journalist, taking pictures of Jameson, cementing this dark period of his career.

"Smile, turn your head to the camera, don't be shy, let's say 'cheese' together~"

With the camera in hand, Spider-Man provocatively taunted Jameson.

"Damn you, Spider-Man, you menace! I'll never let you get away with this!"

"You masked brat! You're going to hell!"

"You bastard..."

Jameson tried to avoid the flashing lights while cursing frantically.

Clearly, after Spider-Man's stunt, the already poor relationship between Jameson and Spider-Man had completely deteriorated.

However, from another perspective, their relationship wasn't great to begin with, and Spider-Man's actions only made the situation worse. But how much worse could it get?

Evil Spider-Man's blatant behavior was quickly captured by passersby and spread on the internet.

NBC soon turned it into breaking news.

"... Breaking news, just in: New York City's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, had attacked the Daily Bugle, a newspaper he has had conflicts with, and had hung the owner, J. Jonah Jameson, outside the building. This is the footage that had been spread on the internet ..."

Evil Spider-Man's actions successfully overshadowed the popularity of the Fantastic Four and also highlighted what he had previously said to Jameson at the office, making him the latest star of the news.

In the various media reports on that day, they all used the photo of Jameson hanging naked outside the building as the cover.

At the same time, from the interviews with the news media, New York citizens showed different attitudes toward Spider-Man's actions.

"Who's Spider-Man?"

"I don't know. But as a superhero, isn't this going too far?"

"Jameson is stupid, he kind of deserves this."

"Spider-Man is too much. I can't believe New York needs such a crazy person to protect it."

"Hey, Spider-Kid, you need to remember that you are a superhero, not a supervillain."

"I think Spider-Man is no longer a hero in my heart."

"Perhaps the government should respond. Spider-Man attacked a person, that's a crime, the government should take action."

...

"Peter, you were so cool!"

As Peter's only best friend, Ned naturally knew his friend's secret identity. So, after reading the news reports, he immediately called him.

"I never liked Jameson anyway."

"Actually, Ned, that wasn't me."

On the other end, facing his friend's call, the good Spider-Man showed a conflicted expression. He thought that the evil Spider-Man's actions were wrong, but he didn't have the courage to stop him.

"I understand." However, Ned clearly misunderstood the good Peter's response, "Secret identity. Sorry man."

"No, Ned, that's not what I mean. I mean that Spider-Man, another person, an evil one, is behind all this..."

"I know what you mean, Peter. Spider-Man is responsible for all of this."

On the other end of the phone, Ned nodded and made a zipping motion across his mouth, solemnly responding.

"Don't worry, Peter. I'll keep your secret safe."

...

"That sneaky web-slinger!"

In Reed's lab at the Baxter Building, Johnny frowned at the news on screen and muttered a complaint.

"What's wrong, Johnny?"

Hearing her brother's grumble, Sue turned to ask.

"It's all because of that spider guy. He's ruined all the news about us."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

On the other side, Reed measured the data on his stretching body while controlling the extension of his arms and blurted out.

As a scientist, he wasn't accustomed to appearing in the media.

"Of course not."

In contrast to Reed, Johnny loved being pursued and celebrated by the media, wishing to see his face in the news every day.

"We're superheroes, big stars, a superhero team on par with the Avengers."

"Johnny, we're not superheroes."

Shaking his head, Reed retracted his elongated arms, recorded the data, and solemnly said, "Our abilities came from an accident, and nobody knows whether this change is good or bad for us. At this point, we can't even fix our own bodies."

"At least to me, it's downright bad."

Said Ben, who was lying on the couch, shrugging his shoulders.

Having transformed from a flesh and blood man into a monster made entirely of rocks and having lost his girlfriend as a result, Ben expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

"Come on, guys. Don't you have at least a little bit of a dream to be a superhero? Maybe this space storm was not an accident, but fate."

Facing Johnny's excitement, Reed calmly replied, "It was an accident, Johnny."

"Well, seems like even if the storm changed our bodies, it didn't change how boring you guys are."

"So what's going on, Reed? How are you going to cure us?"

Reaching for a cup in front of him but directly squeezing it into a lump of iron, Ben's face looked helpless.

In fact, according to Reed's research results, their bodies were still evolving, and he could feel his own abilities getting stronger and stronger.

"I'm going to build a machine..." Faced with Ben's question, Reed reached for his own design drawing from the second floor of the laboratory, "To recreate the storm. The radiation is going to travel from this generator to this chamber. If I can reverse the wave signal, it'll return us back to normal."

"Right, but what are the risks?" Taking Reed's design, Sue worried, "What if it fails? What will happen to us?"

"Well..."

Faced with Sue's questioning, Reed hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, under Ben's expectant gaze, "Even a small miscalculation could increase our symptoms exponentially or perhaps even kill us."

"Now, dying. That's bad, right?"

Upon hearing Reed's words, Johnny immediately reacted.

Now that he had superpowers and plenty of fame waiting for him, he was unwilling to undergo the so-called 'cure' experiment.

In the laboratory, Johnny listened absent-mindedly to Reed and Sue's discussion, and his gaze shifted to the newspaper in his hand. An article about Spider-Man was prominently featured.

...

"Your Golden Ration Dumplings."

In front of the fast food truck, Shell packed the dim sum and was about to hand it out.

"Woohoo~"

With a shout, evil Spider-Man swooped down and quickly grabbed the dim sum from the customer's hand before disappearing to the other corner of a high-rise building.

"Hey! Spider-Man!"

The customer in front of the fast food truck looked angry, his lunch was snatched away.

On the other hand, inside the fast food truck, Shell looked at the disappearing figure of evil Spider-Man with a strange look in his eyes.

'Given this situation, SHIELD should soon make contact with evil Spider-Man.'

"This is good, burp~"

Sitting cross-legged on the edge of a skyscraper, evil Spider-Man enjoyed his Golden Ration Dumplings. He casually threw the empty lunch box down from the ledge and laid down, crossing his legs and looking like he was enjoying himself.

During this period of time, evil Spider-Man completely abandoned his superhero identity and roamed recklessly around New York, successfully destroying the good reputation that Spider-Man had built up.

"Nice outfit."

Evil Spider-Man was enjoying himself with his eyes closed when suddenly his spider senses alerted him.

He opened his eyes and, using his superhuman vision, saw a red and gold figure flying towards him from a distance.

Hovering next to the building, Tony looked at the black-clad evil Spider-Man and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Stark!"

Upon seeing Iron Man appear before him, evil Spider-Man immediately shouted.

"That's Mr. Stark to you, kid."

With a stern face, Tony corrected Spider-Man's address. He looked at the Spider-Man in front of him, who looked different from before, and asked, "What's wrong, kid? You've been causing a lot of trouble lately. Are you entering puberty? Planning to go down the rebellious youth shtick?"

"Stark!" Ignoring Tony's questions, Spider-Man slowly crouched down, assuming his standard fighting pose, "I've been wanting to fight you for a long time."

"I already said, call me Mr. Stark."

Watching Spider-Man, who seemed unwilling to listen to advice, Tony couldn't help but sigh and then raised his palm towards Spider-Man and said, "It looks like the only way to make you understand the pain of growing up is through physical means."

"Jarvis, 15%. Stun him."

Although Tony had made up his mind to educate Spider-Man, he clearly pulled back, controlling the power of the blaster in his palm to prevent injuring Spider-Man.

However, Tony's soft-hearted approach didn't move Spider-Man at all. With his agile body, he avoided the blast. Spider-Man shot a web bomb at Tony's helmet, blocking his vision. He then leaped onto a high-rise building and fiercely kicked Tony, sending him flying.

"Sir, it seems that your good intentions aren't appreciated. If you continue, you're likely to lose your dignity."

With a strong blow, Spider-Man kicked Tony several times in the air. Finally, Tony stopped himself and pulled down the web on his face. After hearing Jarvis's advice, he replied, "I know."

As he spoke, he controlled his armor to fly toward Spider-Man. His previously playful expression turned serious. "Kid, it looks like I need to show you some manners."

Raising his arm, this time Tony increased the power of the blaster to 30%.

It was clear that Spider-Man's attack had also made Tony angry.
