The story of a Comic Book Collector who is brought to a world where he finds out that he is one of the special people who can earn experience and level up to become a superhero.

With the cash and watch in tow, the group drove off in their car.
Li Du kept the watch in little bug's black hole. He had the real deal, why would he wear
a fake? He could not bear to dump the imitation watch, but could not derive any
happiness from keeping it either.
They stayed another night in a hotel and the next day, they started their journey back to
Phoenix.　　
Amengda Mountain in South Africa had been purchased successfully, and Li Du was
free to go over to develop the area any time he wished.
However, Li Du wanted to let Carl arrange for the diamond inspection team to conduct
their checks first. He was not in a hurry to begin the development and was keener to get
an evaluation of Amengda first.
For now, he wanted to go and resolve the bet he had made at Harry Winston, Inc. He
had to obtain Carlston Fritz's shares!
Sophie had returned to the villa first, and the five little ones had set up their own base in
the spacious backyard. Each of them drew out their territory.
Little Flathead, Ah Meng, had the largest territory. The four little ones were unwilling to
provoke Ah Meng. The hounds were clever enough to notice the wariness of their four
bosses, and were even more cautious around the new family member.
The truck entered the villa's grounds, where Big Quinn's wife, Rosalind, was waiting for
him with their three children. Seeing their father, the children climbed onto Big Quinn
and hung onto him like monkeys.
It was a heart-warming moment: Godzilla brought his gifts over to Victoria, Brother Wolf
went to see his recovering daughter and Lu Guan was reunited with his Golden
Retriever.
Hans wanted to take the opportunity to leave as well, and said, "I miss my sister very
much. I want to visit her."
"No, the two of us have to organize these books," Li Du said firmly.
Hans instantly lost his enthusiasm and said lifelessly, "We have to do all that work?"
Li Du said, "What if there are valuables in this pile of books? We have to look carefully."
Big Ivan took the initiative to bring down the books from the car. Hearing Li Du's words,
he took out a comic book that had been preserved in pristine condition. He passed it
over to them and said, "That's right. Look, this book seems like it could be valuable."
With a smile, Hans took the book from Big Ivan. His eyes widened.
Hans held the book in one hand and his phone in another. Then, seeing that his mobile
connection was too slow, Hans yelled at Lu Guan, "Let go of your stupid dog and bring
me my laptop! Hurry!"
Li Du stepped over, took a look at the book and said, "Aren't you being too dramatic?"
The comic book looked like it had been around for some time. The red cover page had
turned dull. On the front cover, Spiderman carried a little boy and was about to swing off
a skyscraper. There were shadows of cars on the streets below him.
The top right corner of the comic book carried the numbers '1962', and the bottom left
corner was labelled '12 cents'. The word Marvel was neatly printed above Spiderman. It
was a Marvel book.
Hans said, "Dramatic? I am beside myself. This seems to be the first Spiderman comic
book from 1962. If it really is, this is very valuable."
"More than ten million dollars?" Li Du asked expectantly.
Hans rolled his eyes, "How can that be? But it might fetch a few hundred thousand or a
few million."
Once he laid his hands on his laptop, Hans quickly made an internet search. Then, a
piece of news flashed on his screen. There was a picture of their comic book on the
news website.
The headline was, 'Spiderman' Snapped Up At Paris Auction. Comics Connection Pays
1.2 Million.
The news article described the story of that comic book. At an auction in Paris last year,
that first issue of Marvel's Spiderman comic was brought out, and Comics Connection
bought it for 1.2 million. It was actually exhibited in its town hall!
After reading that piece of news, Hans carefully removed the packaging to examine the
comic book more closely.
Having read the publishing details, he could not help but pump his fist in the air. He
yelled, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! This is awesome! It's this book! One million and 200,000 !
One million and 200,000 US dollars!"
Shocked, Li Du asked, "Really? Someone would actually fork out over a million for a
comic book?"
The most expensive books that Li Du had come across were the set of National
Geographic magazines he kept. They were priced at more than ten million.
However, that was ten million for more than a thousand magazines. Besides, most of
those were the only existing copies in the world. Also, from his perspective, National
Geographic magazines represented parts of history. It belonged to the narrative of all
humankind, and was not something that comic books could compare to.
Now this comic book disrupted his understanding and knowledge of magazines and
their value. A comic book, one that was published only fifty odd years ago, could
actually be worth more than one million?
A million was not the most they could earn from the comic books, however. As they
continued to organize the stack of comic books, they found a few more that were as
precious or even more so.
One of those was the first issue of Superman. On the front cover, Superman was
wearing his iconic red cape, blue spandex top, and red pants. He was running away
from a storm, looking as cool as ever.
In the middle of the front cover were the words 'Action Comics #1'. This meant that it
was the first issue.
Hans caressed the dated comic book and said, looking punch-drunk, "This is history.
We are looking at history. Buddies, this was the start of it all, the birth of American
heroes! We are looking at a baby photo of an American hero!"
Li Du asked, "Is it very valuable? Run an online check, how much can it fetch?"
Hans said, "There are no trading records online. At most, there are only ten copies of
'Action Comics #1' in the entire world. Even DC Comics Company don't have it… oh,
they had it previously, but it was stolen!"
Li Du was optimistic, "Then it should be worth a lot, right?"
"Let's put it this way, don't talk about money, brother. This book is priceless!" Hans
exclaimed. "There are no trading records of the original copy of this comic. However,
the re-released copy was sold for 1.8 million US dollars!"
Li Du was shocked. "A re-release version can fetch such a high price? Are those comics
collectors crazy?"
Hands said, "The high price is due to the main character. Superman is iconic, it is the
first superhero in human history!"
Li Du shook his head, "At the time of the Ming dynasty, we already had a superhero
named Sun Wu Kong in China. This is the first superhero in our history."
Hans called out, "Who cares who came first? Anyway, this comic is very valuable. It is
very, very valuable!"
Li Du carefully took the book out of the wrapping paper.
There was a price indicated on the front page. The comic was published in June 1938,
and its selling price had been ten cents.
As Hans continued to call out, 'careful, careful', Li Du checked the information related to
that comic book. 　　
The first issue of Superman comics, 'Action Comics #1', was the holy grail in the comics
industry. It was said that there were fifty copies of it in the world, but there were less
than ten registered on the official records. They were sitting either in huge publishing
houses or in the hands of billionaires.
Besides, Li Du also found a hand-painted copy of the 'Fantastic Four' that had Stan
Lee's autograph on it. That comic book was also worth a lot. Comic books hand-painted
by Stan Lee were typically exhibited in the gallery of Marvel Comics. Few of them were
found in the possession of individuals.


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

"Charlie, have you gone sightseeing around the city yet?"

"Nope, I haven't had much time to…"

"Truly pitiful. It's your first time in the City of Tourism yet you haven't toured at all."

He pat my shoulder,

"Let's go."

"...Where are we going?"

"Where else? To the strip—"

My face turned dark and I punched his shoulder.

"Ack, I'm obviously joking!!"

He massaged his shoulder as I glared at him. 

"I am still underage."

"God damn, I forgot you're still underage. You're like a baby. So young. Too young, come here to uncle."

What's with this pedophile?

I raised my fist threateningly, with a smile, "You're a different person in real life."

He laughed, "I actually am how I am while streaming, I just don't know why I'm feeling active like this right now."

Eh? Did he take the wrong medicine today? Had too much coffee?

I stared at him as he explained his current behavior that he has never displayed before.

…

…

…

"So are we heading to the strip cl—"

He reminded me of his self named great idea.

"...Rykun."

My face blackened as I stared at him, thinking his mental age and physical age do not correlate at all.

He laughed nervously as I raised my fist again,

"Charlie charlie!" He waved his hands frantically, "I'm joking man! I've never even been to a strip club before."

"You think I care if you've been to one?" 

He laughed, "Anyways, there's actually a comic convention right now in Petra. Want to go? I heard there will be some pretty cool events and some actors for movies will be there."

Oh, what timing.

"...Rykun, I don't read comics."

"Ah, no problem, I don't either. Have you watched the movies, though?"

"Nope."

I can't remember which comics have passed through. I do remember it was either in between DC or Marvel.

He looked at me very offended.

"I forgot how uncultured you are. Let's go, then."

He called up a cab and in no time we were heading off towards the comic con.

In the car, he took a picture of us and posted it on his Twitter with the caption: We're excited to go to ComicCon!

"Really? We're excited?"

I stared seriously at the picture: my emotionless face staring at the camera while Rykun had a very happy smile in his face.

He laughed and pat my shoulder.

"Are you trying to get a fan meet-up in the comic con?"

He showed his pearly whites, "Yes. Let's meet some fans!"

…

With the distance closing to the convention hub, I saw exactly what I imagined. People dressed in costumes, very interesting costumes, hanging out with each other, and waiting for the event to start.

My heart began beating in anticipation as I noticed the rivers of people in the huge hall.

Hah, I underestimated the scale of this event. At first, I was hesitant to come here but now I just know that it's an easy achievement points farm.

I made a mental note to gift Rykun something for the grand service he's done to me.

Rykun was holding his vlogging stick and slapped my hand excitedly with the other hand while staring somewhere off over the ocean of people,

"Look, look! It's the actor for the freakin' Spiderman!"

I nodded my head. Marvel crossed over, then. Seeing as the comics for Marvel had a wide range, I could probably take a job up for acting in that side of the movies in the future.

He slapped my hand again, "Dude have you played Mortal Kombat?"

"I've heard of it."

He pointed towards a specific point, "I didn't freaking know Mortal Kombat was part of Comic-con!"

I nodded with raised eyebrows at the costumes all around us. They were very well done.

As we walked slowly and I looked very curiously at everyone, I heard a very familiar sound.

"Snap!"

"Click!"

I turned my eyes towards the source and saw people fanatically staring at us.

"So… you wanted a fan-meet?"

I stared at Rykun.

He took back the vlogging stick and turned off the recording to not awkwardly speak to people while holding a pole.

He presented a wide smile and waved at the people as they enthusiastically waved at us and came over.

"Uh, hello." They all presented themselves very shakily.

Underneath Rykun's confident exterior, I noticed his legs tremble very slightly so.

He's a shy person.

"Hey, how are you guys?"

I asked and saw Rykun's nervousness deflate. It's easier for him to stream to thousands of people worldwide, but seeing them in real life makes him very nervous.

It's very normal. All of a sudden, his fans from his virtual world suddenly are getting to know the real and physical him. He is wanting to make sure he doesn't break the image they have of him.

"We're good thank you very much." They said very shakily.

Seeing how nervous they were, I applied Blake's teachings and began leading the conversation, letting the picture flow.

Soon enough, people noticed our presence and more began to swarm over to us.

I greeted them all with a charming smile. My performance today determines my achievement points.

"I didn't know you liked Comics Charlie!"

People at the convention were startled to see me. Rykun answered for me,

"He actually hasn't watched any movies or read any of the comics. I had to drag him here, look at him. So uncultured."

As he spoke, he gained more and more confidence and even patted my shoulder to annoy me.

"Rykun," I turned to stare at him in mock wrath, "You'll be the first person I kill every time I'm an impostor."

The crowd laughed with excited smiles understanding the reference and we began taking pictures with them.

"AMONG US!"

Rykun yelled like a crackhead and stared at people coming in with Among Us costumes. I thought this was a Comic Convention and not halloween?

Putting up an act, I grabbed his arm and shushed him.

"Rykun, don't disturb the others."

He went along with my joke and acted as my little brother.

"But Charlie…"

"No buts or I'll tell Yvette."

Perhaps I'll have to record myself every time I do something like this just to put in a highlight vlog video. 

All just for Achievement points...

…

After taking selfies for a while, the organizers finally appeared and thanked us all for coming here. 

Some people thought I'd be a presenter or something; a flattering thought, but I acted like just another person hanging out at the convention.

I looked around and nodded appreciatively at the great costumes people had. Time and effort were not lacking whatsoever.

Maybe one day I'll be an actor for some of the characters whom people are wearing costumes of.

Seeing as there's already an actor for Spiderman, maybe I could be…

Definitely not Thor… and Iron Man does not suit me…

Haha, get it? Suit me. Iron Man. Suit. Haha. I rubbed my feet against the slippery floor, knowing how unfunny the joke was.

Still… Seeing as how comic movies are starting to quickly gain popularity, I have to get acting experience quickly. I wouldn't want to be rejected or not even given a chance for not being in the acting industry. 

Hopefully, I do not need to be a white American to fit the appearances of some of the major characters.

I shook my head out of my thoughts and started walking around looking at the organized and decorated building with great interest. 

Along the way, I bumped into a few fans every so often while I explored the place.

Exploring isn't good enough though. I need to somehow make sure I'll be able to have a connection to future movies.

I walked through mobs of people towards where I had seen the Spiderman stand earlier.

He was still there, signing autographs, taking pictures, and acting the hyperactive and funny character out.

Queueing up in line, I waited patiently with a smile as I waited to greet the red and blue superhero.

Sooner than later, I was finally at the front of the line.

"Heyy dude! What's your name?"

What a pleasant guy.

I waved with a smile and introduced myself to the superhero.

"Could we take a picture?"

He smiled and I walked next to him to take the selfie. Not bothering to take a good picture, I took it immediately and nodded at him in good humor.

"So how is it being a superhero?"

If he loves acting then he'll be excited to play his role out. If he doesn't then it'll be hard for me to make any sort of connection.

The guy's previous dull look brightened. I guess he really likes acting.

Today is my lucky day.

"Hah, dude. I get to save people and be awesome while at it!" He rubbed his chin a little and then continued, "But it's also because I believe that with great power comes great responsibility!" He finished grandiosely albeit with projected teenage immaturity.

I smiled and clapped lightly at his remark.

"Am I really speaking to the real Spiderman, th—?"

Before I could finish, he interrupted excitedly.

"Of course I'm the real Spiderman! I'm Peter P...Puh Parkinsons... Bah, don't you see it? The suit? The…"

And he kept blabbering and blabbering.

Alright, I'm not sure if I want to speak to this guy anymore.

I stared at him with a sweatdrop as he got way too into character and was possessed by the spirit of Peter Parker.

He noticed my weird stare and he coughed lightly.

"So uh… yeah. You want to be a superhero too?"

He coughed into his elbow again trying to get rid of his shameful disposition.

Pretending to have seen nothing, I presented a bright expression.

"Yes, yes," I went closer and planted my hands on his shoulders.

He puffed his chest proudly and patted my shoulder.

"Then you'll be a great superhero!"

I stepped away and our improvised tacit act came to an end.

He wiped his eyebrow with a bright look in his eyes. Probably the most fun he's had today, considering everything he's been doing is signing autographs and taking pictures.

"So Charlie, eh?"

"That is me, Spider."

He grinned, "You like acting?"

Of course, he's in a good mood now.

"Huu— Yeah, I enjoy acting."

Ever since Charlotte confessed that she really, really enjoyed acting, I'd taken a duty to help her practice her lines.

I'd gotten a little more practicality with Acting.

Besides, I more or less have to act while Modeling and Streaming.

"If you put some work into it, you'd get pretty good. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you actually got into one of the future movies with us?"

He laughed and encouraged me, in his thoughts he probably thought there was a really slim chance of me getting there. Can't blame him though, he thinks I'm just another dude without the backing of a transnational agency.

"Future movies?" I inquired.

With a red face, he blocked his mouth and began cursing.

"No, nothing. Yes. Future movies. Maybe."

I looked at his face. He panicked and then found that he had no reason to panic at all. Maybe I truly am speaking to the real Peter Parker.

I nodded with a raised eyebrow.

"I see."

I saw Spiderman looking to the left and I followed his gaze.

Up in front of us was a guy holding a camera, probably vlogging the Comic-Con. He was staring at us with a fervent gaze and approached us quickly.

He's probably thinking of the number of views he's about to get.

"Tom Peterson, Charlie Yang, it is an honor to meet you both."

I stared at his outstretched hand and took it with a smile.

Noticing his inexperience, I'm assuming he's either just recording this for memories or is a newbie vlogger.

Seeing as how he was talking to the camera by himself earlier, I'm going to assume it's the latter.

He then shook Tom Peterson's hand as he looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, probably wondering why the guy shook my hand first and why he knew my name.

I raised my hands with an unknowing gesture. 

I don't know either man. Maybe he feels more familiar with Youtubers and Streamers.

"Are you friends with Tom Peterson?" He wiped his face. "There just seems to be no short amount of people that you know."

For a second, I did not know what to think of his question and remark, nor what to respond. He seems a little like a paparazzi.

"Ah, haha. I'm just a fan of Tom Peterson," 

[DING! Lying has gained 10 points.]

Ignoring the system I saw both of them nod heavily. One probably thinking: Damn right, I'm awesome; and the other one thinking: How do I get the most amount of views out of this?

His eyes brightened dramatically.

"Charlie. Are you going to be in the next movie of Spiderman?!"

He practically yelled.

The others turned to look at us quickly and intensely.

And where the hell did he pull this out from? Sigh. Now he can clickbait his title… What a sneaky guy.

I stared at him with wide eyes,

"Haha… I sure wish I could…"

"Tom Peterson, could I get a confirmation?"

He spoke like a true paparazzi.

"Haha… I'm not sure…" Suddenly, he changed his mind. Still annoyed that he hadn't known I seemed to be relatively known and spoke to him like a casual fan, he smirked in preparation of what he was about to do.

"You know what, yeah. Cat is out of the bag now. Yep. He's going to be in the next mo—"

I covered his mouth quickly.

Though this made me seem a little more suspicious, I did not care. Not only might both of us get in trouble, him especially, but that was also incredibly random as well. 

Either way, it might end up helping me so I don't mind as much.

The vlogger with the camera interviewing us smiled as if what he had come for was finally given to him.

A clickbait worthy video!

Charlie Yang is suddenly pushed into a new unfamiliar yet familiar world with the memories of his alternate self! 

With a power no one else has, technology to be discovered, and famous works not existing in this new world, how will Charlie reach the stars?

-Joel POV-
I blinked my eyes several times, my headache strikes again and the pain pulsating in my head. I wake up slowly from the bed, only to see Aria next to me. She's reading a superhero comic while sitting next to me. I exhaled in a deep breath, that seemed to surprise the girl.
"Joel, are you alright?" Aria asks worriedly.
"I think so" I groaned.
Her face is blurry, I couldn't identify the face she's currently making. I need my glasses now. 
"Ah, let me help you with that," Aria added. 
She reached the nightstand next to me to pick my glasses.
"Here it is" she handed it to me gently.
"Thanks" I responded short.
As I put on my glasses, my vision is now as clear as the day. Aria sits next to me with an indescribable expression on her face. She lowered her head, somewhat looking ashamed about something she did.
"I'm sorry for making you injured" she apologized sincerely.
I noticed her sincerity from the tone of her voice and the tremendous guilt I could feel from her stutters. I ruffled her hair to ease her tension, like a scared kitten she twitched when I touched her head gently. 
"What are you talking about? I was the one who dived in there" I chuckled.
"But you're injured and I couldn't protect you" Aria spoke guiltily. 
That's not true Aria, I was befuddled with guilt on how I rat you out to Adrian and accidentally involved ourselves in this camp. Therefore, it is my fault. If I didn't rat us out, we could live in peace in our old love hotel. The sound of a love hotel sounds wrong, but it is our best base so far. Never thought Aria would feel this guilty toward my injury, she looks pretty distant and cold.
"I'm not strong enough, so that's why we're in this situation" Aria punished herself again.
"As I said, it's not your fault Aria" I try to reassure the nervous Aria.
I look at her ruby eyes, scarlet, or I don't know what you call those shades of red in her eyes. Aria has suffered a lot to protect the indecisive me, so I should have returned the favor as well to protect her from the enemies. I'm worried about my parents and my younger sister, the thought of them dying in the middle of this chaos scared me.
I push Aria to her limits to protect my own insecurities. Even so, she's still protective of my well-being. Perhaps, I misjudged her a little bit. Although, her actions toward Ellis still made me curious as to why she did that. She's good at heart, but on that day she seems gone crazy or something. I wonder if I can ask her about her personal information now?
I'm not sure she'll like it, considering I snitch her out on Adrian that is.
"Aria, can I ask you something?" I asked her nervously.
"Go ahead" she replied with a small voice. 
"Why aren't you worried about your parents?" I asked her while stuttering. "I mean I'm worried but you don't look too worried so I thought you're crazy or something".
Aria never looks scared, at least not in front of me. More than scared, she looks more vulgar and stern. She is an inflexible person to hang out with, that's for sure. At first, she looks pretty friendly and accepting, when in dire she turns all bossy and rude. I suppose that's how the real Aria Schneider is.
I grabbed her cold hands, she immediately skived my hand away gently from her hands. 
"Hey, don't touch my hands" she scoffed. 
She's still the same distant Aria as always.
"As for my parents, they live in another city so that's why I'm not worried" she replied monotonously. 
"Where are they right now?" I inquired more.
"Omega City" she replied again in a monotonous tone as if she doesn't care.
"I see, you don't miss them?" I asked her again.
"Frankly, no" she lowered her gaze toward the floor tile, lost in her thoughts.
She doesn't seem to focus or even care about her parents' condition or whether they're alive. Maybe she believed that Omega City is a safe haven for now? It seems like the cyberterrorism attack occurs in Alpha City only. As for Omega City, we still have no news for that.
Alpha City is the capital city and the center of the world's global economic and technology trade. Everyone wants to be here because Alpha is the city of dreams and chances. In its glory, the Alpha City government would present its achievement every year. Like the same old politics, they also presented the vision and mission every year.
Now look at the current Alpha City, it's no longer alive and it's occupied with killer drones and horrible people. Being excluded from the outer world made it hard for us to hunt for wild animals. We're locked in this one large cage called Alpha City. 
"I wonder how's mum and dad" I clenched the tip of my blanket. "My little sister too".
"You're worried about them?" Aria asked me.
"Yeah, it's been almost a week or so right? I can't even count days anymore" he sighed. "I can't turn on my cell phone cause my battery is dead".
Aria searched her sling bag and lent me her cell phone. 
"You can borrow mine" she spoke out of nowhere. 
"Thanks!" I smiled toward the cold gazed Aria.
After I asked about her parents, she turned silent and her eyes looked hollow. Did I ask something strange to her?
"Are you okay?" I nudged Aria.
"I'm fine" she forced a smile then continued to read her superhero comic.
She wanted to distract her mind from something. Perhaps, from her parents? 
"So you are worried about the" I teased Aria about her parents.
"No" she replied coldly.
"No?".
"No" she confirms my word with a cold gaze.
She's giving this mysterious vibe, she holds some secrets I guess. There's nothing wrong with keeping secrets. 
"If you really want to know about me, I'll tell you" Aria spoke nonchalantly while reading her comic. 
"Huh? What do you mean?" I widened my eyes in confusion.
She closed her superhero comic and brazenly stared into my aquamarine eyes. 
"I'll tell mine if you tell yours" she exclaimed bluntly. "No deal, no sharing".
She's one tricky woman, I can guess why she's too overwhelming and too serious for me to handle. On a side note, she's unlike any ordinary girl I ever encountered before. She's not feminine, she's brazen, rude, stern, and she has questionable moral issues. 
However, her desire and inclination to protect me is real. 
"Or am I reading too much?" I thought to myself shamelessly.
"So, what will it be?" Aria asked me, this time crossing her arms.
I steady my sitting posture as I prepare myself to answer her piercing serious gaze.

What will Aria do to survive this chaotic terrorist attack?

It is 5:30 in the morning. The Las Vegas sky is starless, the moon is shining bright. All is peaceful and quiet, except for a certain room in a certain household. From the top right window of the house, a loud and continuous drilling sound can be heard. Inside the room, was Charlie Dooley. An eighteen year old boy, enjoying his summer morning by creating more tech for fun. Currently, he's working on a special surprise for his sister, who he cares about very deeply. 

Normally, siblings often fight and pick on each other, but not Charlie and his sister Lesley. He always made sure that Lesley was happy, and if she wasn't he would always make her feel better to the best of his ability. His favorite way of doing this was break dancing to make her laugh at the weird movements he could pull off. Sometimes he would spin on his head like a top, doing flips, and other fun things just to get her to smile. So now for her birthday, he was creating an advanced version of her favorite toy: a Yo-yo.

This Yo-Yo was special. It was much more sturdy, could grow and shrink in size, and was made to where preforming tricks would be much easier. Once he was finished working on the build itself, he painted the yo-yo dark blue with a green swirl in the middle. Once it was painted, he left it to dry. 

Charlie walks downstairs to get some early breakfast, and is greeted by his father, Michael, who had just gotten home from his night shift at the hospital. He looks at his son and smiles "Mornin', Bubba! I heard ya workin' on something up in your room! Care to tell me what it was? Wasn't something dangerous was it? I don't want another corner of the house to blow up!" He says, and laughs loudly afterward. His father was always upbeat and positive, which was inherited by Charlie. 

"No it's not dangerous. It's just a cool yo-yo for Lesley's birthday! I think she'll really like it!" Charlie smiles happily as he explains everything the yo-yo can do. His father listened closely and grinned while doing so. Michael loved listening to his son explanations of inventions. He knew that someday they would be used for great things. Charlie, once finished explaining, looks at his father. "Sorry if that was a lot of information to take in." He looks down a bit, worrying he had bored his father. 

His father laughs again and looks at him "it's okay! I thought it sounded awesome! I'm sure she'll love it!" He replies reassuringly. "Well, I've gotta get to bed. I'm exhausted! Make sure you take your sister to the mall today so she can get something for her birthday. I left the money on the table. Love you, Bubba!" He hugs Charlie and goes up to his room. 

A few hours later, Charlie is driving Lesley to the mall for her birthday, listening to their favorite song "Stayin' Alive" by the BeeGees.  "you excited sis?" He glances at her then continues to look at the road.

His seven year old sister giggles and nods "yeah! Super excited!" She was dressed in her favorite green and blue dress, and was very happy to be spending time with her big brother. Charlie continues to drive to the mall, eventually reaching it. He turns to his sister as she unbuckles 

"So what do you want for your birthday do you think? Maybe the latest issue of your favorite comic, Childish Crusader?" He lets a soft smile form on his face as Lesley nods excitedly. Lesley loved superheroes and everything they stood for. Her favorite was Childish Crusader, a childlike hero who used a baseball bat as a weapon and made sure every person was brought to justice. He walks into the comic shop with her and looks around. As they roam around, Lesley stares in awe at all the heroes. 

"I wish there could be a real life superhero! That'd be awesome!" Lesley shouts excitedly. It was her biggest dream to see a real life superhero. She'd always run around the house saying a phrase that she'd come up with, but was also inspired by Childish Crusader. "No villain too big no crime too small! Justice will be served!" Charlie had always shared her dream. He thought a real life superhero would be an awesome thing to see. 

They continued to shop, eventually picking up a couple comics for her birthday. He pays for them and begins to walk out of the shop, holding her hand. It had gotten late, and the night was even darker than the last. As they walked, they began to hear footsteps from behind. "Put your hands up!" A deep voice shouts. The cashier at the comic book store overhears the commotion and begins to call the police. Charlie puts his hands up, but Lesley doesn't. She looks at them and glares, not realizing how outmatched she was.

"Put the gun down, scum!" She shouts. The thug points the gun at her, not caring about her age. He didn't want to shoot her, but he needed to not intimidate her. 

"I'm not kidding kid!" He shouts at her, to no effect. Charlie looks at her, very worried 

"Sis, put your hands up and everything will be alright. I promise." Charlie says, his voice trembling with fear. His sister rejects his advice and lunges at the gun, trying to grab it out of the thug's hands. She didn't realize how weak she was. In the struggle, the trigger is pulled as a bullet is fired through the little girl's lung. 

"Lesley!" Charlie shouts as the thug runs off and his sister falls to the ground. He grabs her and holds her in his arms as quiet "no no no"'s slip through his lips. As she struggles to breath, Lesley looks up at her brother, still smiling brightly. She says quietly, "no villain too b-ig...." she gurgles, "no crime too small....justice...will be...served..." her voice gives out on her and she falls limp as sirens blare in the distance.

This is the origin of a hero named Captain Yo-Yo, who fights crime using a high tech Yo-Yo he created in honor of his now dead little sister. In his first adventure, he tries to find out secrets behind a gang who uses a casino as a front, but is interrupted by the mysterious vigilante, Ace. Can Captain Yo-Yo hey past Ace and save the day? Find out!

10 Classic Superheroes, Ranked By Their Origin Stories

by Neeraj Kumar Prajapati 

Not everyone is born a hero. In the case of superheroes, it's a singular moment that typically sets the individual on the path to becoming a force for good. That's what is known as the origin story. Whether it's an alien with unbelievable powers or a regular Earthling who's just trying to do the best with their natural talents, each comic book protagonist has an experience that leads them on their heroic path. And boy, have there been a lot of these told for both classic and modern heroes. 

The comic book medium has been going strong for more 75 years, and over those decades hundreds, if not thousands, of superheroes have been introduced. Typically these origin stories have been seen across a variety of media by both passionate comic book fans and people who are just looking for a good tale. And just because a hero is successful doesn't mean that they got off to the best start with their origin stories, but when these tales are told right, they're the stuff of legend. Here are some of the most famous superheroes of all time ranked by how great and epic their origin stories are. 

￼

1. The X-Men

Of course, each individual X-Men has their own unique stories, but together the team's origin tale is a classic. As mutants, they were all born with their abilities rather than imbued with them by science, magic or aliens. Consequently, many of these people face mistrust and bigotry from the general population who view them as freaks of nature. However, despite their persecution, they still use their powers to protect the innocent. Brought together by Charles Xavier, the X-Men not only combat threats ranging from fanatical humans to fellow mutants, but their overall mission is to fight for the rights of their fellow mutants and usher in a world of acceptance and peace. So even though their overall story is based in a superhero world, it's memorable because their goals are similar to what many of us want to achieve in real life.

Seen On Screen: In Bryan Singer's initial X-Menforay, back in 2000.

￼

2. The Flash (Barry Allen)

In the 1950s, DC Comics decided to relaunch several of their most successful superheroes from the 1940s as new individuals. The Flash was the first to receive this treatment, being reintroduced in 1956 as forensic scientist Barry Allen. While working late in his lab one night, he was struck by lightning, which subsequently knocked him into shelf full of chemicals. After waking up, he discovered he could run at superhuman speeds, and donning the red and yellow costume that's become much more recognizable than his predecessor's, Barry became the new Flash and built a quite a supporting cast. Visually it's one of the best origins on this list, but it also has a distinct sci-fi feel to it that few DC hero origins had before it. Many non-comic book fans saw this origin told for the first time back in October on the CW series The Flash.

Seen On Screen: As mentioned, the best version of The Flash Can be seen each week on The CW.

￼

3. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Green Lantern was the second DC hero to be revitalized during the Silver Age of comic books. This time around, test pilot Hal Jordan inherited a special ring after it was bequeathed to him by a dying alien named Abin Sur who had crash-landed on Earth. Unlike the magical ring that the Golden Age Green Lantern wore, Hal Jordan's ring was a product of science that allowed him to use his willpower to fly and make solid constructs with his mind. Inheriting Abin Sur's legacy, Hal became the new Green Lantern of Sector 2814, and the first human to ever join the Green Lantern Corps. Like The Flash, it's memorable for its sci-fi feel, but also to due to how this Green Lantern inherited his heroic legacy from a mysterious visitor (which would later be repeated with Kyle Rayner) whereas his predecessor Alan Scott just sort of stumbled upon his power.

Seen On Screen: In the flawed, but right now only, Green Lantern origin movie with Ryan Reynolds, which hit theaters in 2011.

4. Iron Man

Although the location for Iron Man's origin has changed several times throughout the decades, the story itself has not. While demonstrating some of his creations abroad, Tony Stark was injured and taken captive by enemy soldiers. While in captivity, he was forced to build weapons for these terrorists, but with the help of scientist Ho Yinsen, he built a mechanical suit that allowed him to defeat his captors and escape to freedom. With a renewed perspective on life, Tony uses his new armor to protect the innocent as Iron Man. Not only is it one of best redemption origin stories and full of action as Tony escaped his imprisonment, it also showed that not everyone who becomes a superhero starts out as a moral individual. Sometimes takes a nudge (or in Tony's case nearly dying from shrapnel in your heart) to discover your true potential.

Seen On Screen: Stark's destiny was brought to life by Jon Favreau in 2008's Iron Man, with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead.

5 Captain America

Captain America's origin story wouldn't work well as an anti-drug PSA, but it's an excellent story of trumping over the odds. Steve Rogerswanted to serve in World War II, but his scrawny body and ill health prevented him from enlisting. Fortunately for him, he was chosen as the test subject for Project Rebirth, and after being injected with the Super Soldier Serum, his body became the epitome of physical perfection. Soon after the scientist who created the serum was assassinated by a Nazi spy, leaving the serum's formula lost and making Steve the only one of his kind. He subsequently became Captain America to not only to help defeat the Axis forces, but to become one of the most well-known superheroes in the present-day after being frozen for decades. As mentioned earlier, it's memorable for featuring the little guy rising up to beat the odds, but it also helps that it was an important reflection of the era he was created in and even inspired good to defeat evil in real life.

Ben 10 is a show near and dear to my heart.

With humble beginnings on Cartoon Network in 2006, I watched the series premiere one night and have been hooked ever since.

The series was about an ordinary 10 year old boy who discovers an alien device called the omnitrix, that allows him to transform into ten different alien species.

Each with their own superpowers that he can use to fight crime.

It's had a complicated history since then, becoming a massive franchise and going through a lot of different iterations and reinventions.

But for now, let me go back to the very beginning and outline what made this show resonate with kids like me so much, and why I think it's one of the most enduring and successful superhero franchises to not bear the mark of Marvel and DC.

In short, I believe the answer is, Ben 10 is the best superhero that didn't come from comic books.

The show had everything it needed to be a perfect superhero story.

This series gave us as kids so much to get excited for back in the day.

Explosive stories, giant monsters, crazy worldbuilding and lore…

And of course, some of the most badass fight scenes for a kid's cartoon.

They really beat each other's asses in this show.

But it wasn't just violence and monsters, this show had a lot of heart and creativity that kids really respond to.

Starting with a really unique story that unfolds in an interesting way.

Season 1 had a really great origin arc, where our hero, Ben Tennyson, get his hands on some super powers during summer vacation, with his cousin and his Grandpa on a cross-country road trip.

Ben Tennyson is a brash, hot headed, overconfident kid with a bratty sense of humor.

But deep down, he's actually very noble and willing to heroically stand up for the little guy.

First chapter, when Ben faced the bullies of his school, really reminded me how kid Midoriya faced kid Bakugou.

His cousin Gwen is bookish, responsible and self-reliant. 

And their conflicting personalities lead them to argue a lot, because… you know, that's what kids do.

Their banter always struck me as endearing, having grown up within a similar sibling relation, and it was nice seeing them eventually getting along.

Their Grandpa, Max Tennyson, is just a wholesome sweet guy that's intelligent, well traveled and likes nature.

He's got a real uncle Ben/Iroh feel for him, being the kind of parental figure that you'd never want to disappoint.

During a freak accident where a pod from space permanently attaches a piece of alien technology to his wrist.

'Holding the key to a power struggle so ancient, so vast, that is is beyond our feeble comprehension.'

Ben gets the ability to turn into various extraterrestrial monsters and causes chaos while being attacked by bad guys from earth and space.

It's on the theme song, you know how it goes.

Instantly it seems like Grandpa Max knows more than he's letting on, but the series let that simmer for a few episodes as it expands on its story.

With time we learned that the watch ended up on earth because it was being kept away from an alien warlord who looks oddly similar to the bad guy from Megas XRL (Cthulhu adjacent, but that was before Dagon), known as Vilgax.

He wants to use the device's power to take over the universe, but in chasing it he got a little messed up and couldn't retrieve it directly yet.

That gave Ben time to discover all 10 alien forms in the watch and stop some more low stakes super crime.

But when Vilgax finally steps in, he's a really imposing and badass villain.

And as overpowered Ben may have seemed at the time, he was still pretty outclassed against this tall angry squidward.

After a crazy season one finale, we discovered Grandpa Max's secret past as an alien hunting superhero of sorts that has protected earth with advanced weaponry for decades.

His organization, which reminded me a lot of the Man in Black, was codenamed 'The Plumbers'.

…

Because why not.

Back to Max, he was actually Vilgax's old nemesis and the two of them battled ages ago when Vilgax's fashion sense was a little more rocky horror picture show than his current attire.

I guess it was big at the time.

Grandpa Max's alien belt notches also apparently rival that of the great Captain Kirk or Commander Shepard.

Who would have thought? 

A stand out feature of this show was the voice acting, for both the English and the Brazilian Portuguese versions.

I loved the voices for all the aliens, each classic alien had so much personality to its design and powers.

Every kid on the block wanted the Omnitrix for themselves and would argue about which alien transformation was the best one, or which one they wanted an action figure the most.

I remember my friend was more of a Heatblast kind of guy, but I was partial to XRL8.

Everyone would have their favorite and each one could be useful.

Even Ripjaws!

I never understood why the series insisted on trashing him as an inconvenient transformation to raise the stakes. 

I guess Brainstorm got really lucky that the omnitrix provided a respiratory bracer for him.

Anyway, Ben's powers were so interesting because he basically had every super power, granted with some limitations for each transformation to balance things out.

Much like any good superhero, Ben even had a built-in weakness to keep things interesting.

His watch had a timer on it that runs out after he's been transformed for 10 minutes.

Well, 10 minutes in canon, but for the sake of compressing time for a 22 minute cartoon, it actually runs on the same timetable as how long it takes Spider-Man to run out of webs which is exactly as long as writers want until the precise moment when it's most inconvenient and dramatically exciting.

Ben also had a habit of tampering with the thing because he was irresponsible and kind of a Bart Simpson type, so it was a running gag that he was in possession of the most dangerous technology in the universe and sometimes he just smashes it against the wall or jams a screwdriver into it or uses it to break walnuts or whatever, causing the watch to work improperly by not turning into the alien he selected.

Or just glitch out and not let him change back to a human for an extended period of time.

That gives a nice bit of added tension because sometimes we think one guy is the obvious solution to a problem, only for the watch to give him another, forcing him to figure out how to make due with that instead.

Showing how resourceful he could be in a pinch.

And for all his trash talk, he's actually pretty smart.

He's a cool character once you look past all his surface level attitude problems.

Along the way, his constant button smashing allows him to unlock additional aliens to turn into, with some cool new powers and gimmicks, meaning there's a lot more than ten in there.

More like, thousands upon thousands.

He also met a few good guys aliens to help him grow as a character, like an alien mercenary named Tetrax.

He taught Ben how to use some more clever tactics and to think his way through a fight more often, instead of just turning into muscular guys over and over.

We even met the sarcastic little alien scientist who built the watch in the show's first TV movie.

The creator, Azimuth, explained that it wasn't a weapon for war, but a tool to create understanding and racial peace between alien cultures across the universe by allowing species to walk a mile in each other's shoes.

It's a pretty heavy concept for a kids show, feels like more of an idea out of a random Star Trek episode.

I loved that the show didn't pull punches on something nuanced like that.

So, with the reveal of their Grandpa's secret past and pretty much all there was to know about the Omnitrix and the various criminal entities in the universe who want to get their hands on it.

The show opens up so much more in season two.

I'd also like to take time to highlight how much I love this show's other greatest villain.

Kevin Ethan Levin.

I see what they did there.

The name is a little on the nose, but if Vilgax was Kingpin, then this kid is the Venom of this show.

He's a vandal punk kid that lives on the streets with super powers of his own, the ability to absorb and expel energy like a human battery.

Ben runs into him and they become fast friends using their powers to act like a couple of schmucks and perform some old-fashioned b and e to get an unreleased video game before outrunning the cops.

But Kevin turns out to be a little bit of a loose cannon and wants to start using their powers for more extreme crimes than stealing video games.

Him and Ben battle it out, and we discover that Kevin can use his powers to absorb the energy from the Omnitrix and take on some of Ben's powers.

He's a morally bankrupt dark reflection of our hero.

After multiple battles with Kevin mimicking Ben's aliens before he goes too far and becomes this hodgepodge of all of them. 

I did enjoy the episode on the second season where they both got stuck in an alien gladiator arena with an electric shock button attached to them and they have to work together to escape.

Basically Planet Hulk.

The other strongest villain characters would have to be Dr Animo and Charmcaster.

One's a mad scientist that uses animal DNA to create giant monsters and the other is a young sorcererss that's trying to live up to her uncle's name as a magic villain.

I typically don't care for the human villain in this type of series, but these two stand out a lot more than one would have expected.

Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same about the Forever Knights.

Kinda like an evil version of the plumbers that wanted to hunt and experiment on all aliens.

Their concept was really cool to me, but I always felt they were terribly misused in the series, serving more of an excuse to have stormtrooper type bad guys that Ben could just punch a thousand of.

Season two ended with a banger of an episode where Vilgax and Kevin team up to kill Ben, but he had accidentally turned off all the restrictions on the watch and he could change into any of the aliens with a thought for however long he wants.

It was awesome to see him really let loose to keep up with his two greatest enemies, and ended up ditching them in an alternate universe called the Null Void, that Grandpa Max used to drop dangerous alien criminals into.

Kinda like a variation of the phantom zone and negative zone from Dc and Marvel.

Season three and four afterwards felt a little directionless to me with the two main villains gone, and they just spent the next few episodes just roaming around the continental US writing wrongs and fighting random smaller antagonists, but the majority of them aren't as interesting as Darth Cthulhu and Chimera alien.

The exception probably being Ghostfreak.

He is pretty cool initially, but other than that, not a whole lot of important stuff happens for the last two seasons.

The series continued to introduce more and more transformations, and even though I initially liked them, they now felt like initial symptoms of the disease that would allow a gorilla made of lego to join the list of Ben's transformation.

Back then the series also didn't really know what to do with Gwen back then.

To keep her from feeling like too much of a sidekick they made up that she began learning magic from a spell book she pilfered from Charmcaster.

This choice initially felt a little out of place in a show that was so heavily steeped in Sci-fi and it gave some people the sense that the creators just threw it in to give her something to do during the fight scenes since everyone else was so proactive.

It wasn't the worst idea in the world, and it's paid off in the later shows very well.

On a side note, their summer road trip felt like it had lasted way longer than three months.

In fact, I believe this is the second longest cartoon summer vacation after Phineas and Ferb.

The last two seasons didn't invest me so much on the villains, but I did enjoy the smaller one offs episodes that feel more slice of life.

Couple examples…

Ben's older cousin, another member of the plumbers, marries an alien from a race that humans had been at war with for decades.

There was this interesting family rivalry where everyone wants to stop the wedding and Ben has to make sure it happens to form a bond of peace with these two species.

There's also a really neat episode where Ben and Gwen were taken into a possible future, where Ben had become the greatest superhero in the universe by the time he's 30. 

But as a result of doing this for so long he's become jaded and serious, never leaving his alien forms.

But meeting his younger self gives him a reality check and helps him learn to have some fun and appreciate his human half once again.

It even inadvertently criticizes its future reboot with an episode were Ben's aliens had been turned into super lame and cartoonish characters of a TV show.

Season three and four reminded me of the last few issues of a really great comic run after the writer has finished his main overarching story and just spends a little extra time with the characters doing smaller things for another 5-10 issues before the new writer steps in to mix things up.

This show definitely has the fingerprints of comic industry writers all over it like that.

It even has a few alternative universes of 'what if' episodes, where Gwen gets the watch in an alternate timeline, or a story where Ben's parents find out about his powers after the summer ends.

As with any other long-running story, it's fun to go back to the earliest stuff and look at it with the perspective of future context.

Like understanding that Gwen powers came from the genes she inherited from her alien grandma, who's a being of pure energy that can warp reality with her thoughts.

Making her kind of a goddess.

Eventually the show winds down with an hour-long special, where he faces off against ten of his human antagonists from throughout the show as a nice little closer.

And there was also a live action TV movie I that unfortunately didn't aged well to me, with its confusing story and low budget effects.

Ben 10 was a great series that got my imagination really flowing as a kid because it was so good at thinking outside of the box and doing something unique, but still very classic for a superhero show.

It has all the hallmarks of a great comic book character without ever being based on a comic book.

It's a great mix of original ideas and taking inspiration from other sources to make something fresh but still pleasantly familiar.

Ben as a character is great because he's relatable for kids, but even at that age his flaws are still identifiable and it was inspiring to see him overcome them and grow past them through the course of the series.

He was a character that taught us that brains could beat brawn, that you should do the right thing even with nearly infinite power and that family was just as powerful as that.

Much like Ben itself, it wasn't a perfect show.

But it stuck with me and became something that I could see a bit of myself in and inspired me.

That's the definition of a superhero in my book.

But what if someone less good hearted took Ben's place?

Someone with foreknowledge in regards to the original story that would certainly take advantage of that.

Well, let me put my cards on the table.

Somehow, I, the most random person in the world, woke up in Benjamin Kirby Tennyson's body a few days after his birth.

DISCLAIMER: Hello dear readers, I hope you are doing well! I just want to warn you about some of the aspects of my fan-fiction before you start reading. 

First of all, this version of Peter Parker is not Peter Parker himself. It is a different teenager who got reincarnated in his body. That is why he will not be on the same intelligence level (IQ) in the beginning. So, he is likely to do some stupid things in the beginning (just be ready for that). However, the whole first volume (first 6 chapters) are devoted to his development as a character. More action and characters will take place in the next volume, so just get through these chapters ;) This is only the build-up of the plot.

Secondly, I encourage you to accept the reincarnation process as a convention that was supposed to happen so that the new Spider-Man story begins. 

Thirdly, join the notification squad by adding the story to the collection. Have a good day and stay tuned! I have lots of plans for this fan-fiction and there are hundreds of chapters to come :)
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jack Chastain was a typical 15-year-old high-school teenager... pretty average grades, a few friends, and conflicts with parents. There was nothing special about his life back then...

His main hobby was reading comic books and watching superhero movies as he used to spend most of his free time on these things. He was truly inspired by the actions of fictional characters and always wanted to become a superhero himself. Although he had a weak body and was constantly being made fun of at school by the bullies, he had a big heart and never surrendered. However, his courage sometimes leads to him having lots of injuries after getting beaten up by senior students.

The last time this happened was when he tried to defend one of his friends. Jude, the captain of the schools' football team was humiliating him in front of all of the students at a launch hall. Jack crept up to Jude from behind and hit him on the head with an elbow...

Jude fell down... there was complete silence in the hall as everyone was shocked that a kid nobody expected anything from dared to hit the schools' main man... even after all the serious injuries he'd endured, Jack did not surrender and had a strong will power.

Later that day, when he was returning home by bike, he was constantly thinking about what he had just done. He felt like he was a real superhero who managed to defeat a strong villain who was treating many students badly.

But... when Jack was in the middle of a crossroad a car hit him from the left at a high speed and Jack fell down with his head hitting the ground very hard and eventually started to bleed. 

It was a thief who did not stop when the traffic light was red because the police were following him. 

The last thing Jack saw in his life were police cars that were following the car thief...

"Where am I?" said Jack. There was nothing around him and it seemed like he was levitating in emptiness.

"You are in 'under heaven', a place where all of the young souls go before their future destiny is identified" said someone from the top... It was God...

Jack understood that his life had ended... at such a young age and with so many ambitions... 

He could not control himself and started crying.

"No..." he started crying. "Why did this happen now? During one of the best days of my life, I just had a turning point..."

God was able to see that Jack's soul was clean, that he wanted to protect the weak, and was always ready to help his friends... 

"It is rare to witness a person with such good intentions and ambitions nowadays" God said.

So, after a few minutes of thinking he said...

"I will let destiny make the final decision," God said.

"What does that mean?" Jack whispered.

Suddenly, a big golden coin appeared in God's hands. There were wings on one side and a skull on the other.

"Wings mean reincarnation, skull means death" God said, before tossing a coin...

"Wings... I guess destiny has the same opinion on you"

"Wait!" Jack shouted... he remembered how much he had suffered in the real world and did not want to experience that one more time. So, he said...

"I want to reincarnate in a fictional world... Can you send me to the comic world, please?" said Jack with a lot of hope in his words.

"I can, but... you have to know that there is no way back... and that you will not be able to return to the real world. Are you sure about this?"

"Yes!" Jack said confidently.

After that God came closer to Jack and pushed his forehead with his thumb...

Jake felt a strong pain in his head, as he woke up because of an alarm.

"Oh my god… that was just a dream" he said, before he understood that he was in an unfamiliar room… It was a small room that was full of superhero posters on walls, just like in Jack's room.
"Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow…" Jack whispered.

Then, Jack heard someone coming closer to the room. Woman of about 40 years old opened the door and said loudly:

"Come on Peter, you are late for breakfast!"

Jack jumped up to the window, where he saw a view on Queens, New – York. "Did she just call me Peter? Was that aunt May?" he was thinking.

"Wait… does it actually mean that I am… Peter Parker… the Spider-Man."

Typical teenager gets reincarnated as a Spider-Man and gets a chance to meet the Marvel world's greatest superheroes.

His aim is to become the greatest superhero of this world and he will use his knowledge as the key to defeating his enemies and people that face him during his journey.

"Even though we developed our own capabilities, we have never stopped buying character IPs. We have a huge place in the GOG creative area to showcase the character IPs we bought and to allow players to collect them," Bao Xu continued. 
"GOG world server is currently lacking in this area!"
"That's right, we are indeed lacking in that!" Min Jingchao said in realization.
"The character IPs we have bought until now are characters with a little influence locally, but none at all when it comes to overseas. These character IPs are foreign to them.
"Comparing the current GOG hero storage to IOI, they might have the advantage locally, but the reverse is true overseas. Players overseas might be more tolerant towards the heroes of IOI.
"That is a very crucial point that we have to address!"
Ye Zhizhou gave it some thought. "Then, what if we are to create an online GOG creative site?"
Min Jingchao shook his head. "No, GOG creative sites can only make good things on the precondition that there are enough players and that a large number of them participate.
"However, GOG does not have many overseas players now. We'll definitely not be able to gather good works if we are to make a creative site now. This money would either not be able to be spent or it would be spent meaninglessly.
"You should buy some international successful IPs!
"This way, it would have the same publicity effect as big-shot celebrities or even better because the target audience would be clearer. We can code these successful IPs into the game; it is much better than to get a celebrity to endorse it!"
Ye Zhizhou became excited. "Understood! As expected, this should be the answer that Boss Pei wants!"
Everyone discussed again and became even more convinced that 'buy IPs' was the best answer to Boss Pei's puzzle. It should also be something that Boss Pei had considered.
This 'buy IPs'' direction was the original principle from when GOG developed. It was now pushed into the world server and required an IP widely accepted by overseas players.
"Everyone, don't be too happy so fast. We have not fully deciphered Boss Pei's problem," Li Yada reminded everyone.
"We've decided to buy IPs, but how do we buy? Which one to buy?
"20 million US dollars will definitely not be enough if we were to buy those famous heroes since most overseas companies are eyeing them as well. The copyrights of those dramatized ones would be sky-high.
"Buying expensive big IPs will probably not be in line with Boss Pei's original intentions since Boss Pei never buys expensive big IPs locally.
"It's different from domestic markets. We have to get an IP that is influential enough for the publicity to have the effect."
Everyone entered a state of argument.
Finally, Li Yada suggested, "Therefore, we have two ways now. The first way is to buy two internationally successful IP; the second is to buy a large number of not so well known IPs that international players can identify with.
"Since we are unsure, we can send both answers to Boss Pei and let him decide."
Ye Zhizhou nodded and stood up. "Understood, thank you, everyone! I'll go back to do a simple investigation before we let Boss Pei make the final decision!"
… 
… 
August 10th, Wednesday…
Pei Qian received Ye Zhizhou's phone call not long after he woke up.
"Boss Pei, we have come up with GOG's international server publicity proposal! We want to buy some international character IPs to put them into the game!
"However, we now have a problem. Should we buy one or two famous international character IPs, or should we buy a few more character IPs that are not so well-known but will match international players' wants?"
Pei Qian thought about it for a while before replying. "The latter."
Such international character IPs would be too painful. Pei Qian was afraid that IOI would not be able to rival them. Such a worry might be strange, but it was not at all unreasonable.
The GOG game itself was already much better than IOI: a client-side game with reasonable fees and a whole load of character heroes. The game machine was easier to get used to and to spread.
Moreover, GOG was now being promoted overseas. There were two main points: its inability to adapt and the chances of its name spreading.
Unable to adapt was mainly from the fear of the hero's image not fitting overseas players' tastes and being unable to be localized.
Buying IPs could indeed solve this problem. However, if it was to purchase international famous IPs, Pei Qian was afraid that it would be too high-handed and kill IOI instantly. Then, he would not be able to spend money overseas as happily.
It was better to buy the smallest IPs and toy with IOI slowly. Using a blunt knife to slice the meat away little by little, it was much better for the fight.
Ye Zhizhou agreed, "Alright, we'll choose some more value for money and not so well-known character IPs. We'll report to you again after some time."
… 
Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan and Wang Xiaobin excitedly after he hung up the phone. "Boss Pei decided! As expected, that is the right answer! We are unbeatable in deciphering Boss Pei's intentions when both of our gaming departments join forces!"
The Lin Family looked at the materials in her hands. "Don't celebrate prematurely. There is still a lot of work to be done. The United States has so many superhero characters; how are we to choose? Which one of these is suitable for Europe?"
Everyone could feel headaches approaching looking at the long list of heroes' names in English.
The appearance of superheroes could be traced back to the early 1930s. The list had grown astronomical throughout the decades of development.
Everyone had difficult choices to make:
The heroes that everyone knew were very expensive. Boss Pei decided not to buy them.
No one knew the cheaper heroes so how were they to decide if the international players would like them or not?
Who knew that these not so well-known heroes were not so well-known because they were developed at an inopportune time or because they were failures that no one liked?
It would be okay if it was the former, but if it was the latter, then it would be a waste of money by GOG to purchase such trash.
"Let's not think about the two biggest comic companies. They should be bought by all the big corporations for hundreds of millions of US dollars. We will not be able to obtain any advantage," Ye Zhizhou said.
"Moreover, their conditions will be very strict. What we can buy will probably just be for the game copyrights. Buying some lesser-known character IPs may work, but there would also be restrictions, and their prices might not be acceptable to use. Their price-quality ratios would be worse."
"Let's not consider them then; let's continue on." Lin Wan said.
"We… seem to be able to buy the third-largest comic company in the United States. There was news two days ago that they are going bankrupt," Ye Zhizhou said after he continued reading for a while.
Lin Wan instinctively felt something wrong and asked, "The third-largest comic company is going bust? What is their market share?"
Ye Zhizhou: "Less than 5%."
Lin Wan: "…"
Wang Xiaobin was taken aback as well and complained. "If the third-largest comic company does not even have 5% market share, then does that mean the United States only has three comic companies?
"Of course not, but that is what was indicated in the materials," Ye Zhizhou replied in a jolly manner.
"I can only say that it is the current status of the industry. The first two comic companies are humongous and have about 40% market share each. The third to the tenth companies share 10% of the market while the rest is shared by even smaller companies.
"These two companies have too many superhero IPs; the market is only so big. They release comics and movies. They are of totally different leagues from the other companies."
Lin Wan nodded. "Um, typical 80/20 market share. The big companies own 80% of the market share.
"No wonder, 'third-largest comic company in the United States' may sound scary, but in fact, they only hold less than 5% market share. Moreover, they have to fight with the two big giants before them. They must find it very difficult to fight. It's no wonder they are going bankrupt."
Ye Zhizhou took the laptop and quickly read the relevant information. "Yes, traditional comic styles are no longer popular. These huge comic companies earn money from movies. The comics are like huge inspirational storage where they could obtain materials at any time for a steady flow of movies.
"However, it would just be even more difficult for those that had a small market share but not able to afford to make movies.
"This Hurricane Comic Company has a few good points. They don't only use superheroes as materials. They are more diversified. A more diversified image is better for GOG as it would mean they have more choices.
"They have a few IPs that seem to be able to fulfill westerners' taste… for example, Purgatory Duke, Mutants, and Robocop.
"There was one thing very important: they had an international IP image… 20 years ago!
"The Multifaceted Man was made into a movie in 1993. They were nominated for many Oscar categories, but they did not win it. They invested 27 million US dollars and obtained a global box office of 340 million US dollars. It was top 4 in grossing for that year. The main actor's remuneration increased twenty-fold after he finished filming this movie.
"However, Hurricane Comic Company was not the investor so they did not obtain much benefit. That was its last glory. Their popularity was on a decline after that.
"It's just that… the good part is the character IP of the Multifaceted Man is still rather popular. Many westerners should find him familiar. More than half of Hurricane Comic Company's value is on this IP.
"It might feel like we are picking up from the trash, but I have to say that this trash feels rather worthwhile."
