Chapter 58: Penny and Spider-Ham

For example, the suit closest to him is black and red, called the Insulation Suit.

This was developed by the Blond Spider-Man a few years ago to deal with a villain named Electro. It could also be called the "Anti-Electro Suit".

However, the high-temperature resistant insulating material used in this suit is quite thick, making it unsuitable for daily wear, especially in the hot summer.

So after defeating Electro, it was stored in this cabinet.

Peter was really intrigued by this guy whose whole body turned into electricity. Unfortunately, the memory fragments he obtained only mentioned vague impressions, probably because the connection was not strong enough.

He wonders if he'll have a chance to encounter Electro in the future.

The second almost pure black set is the Negative Zone Netherworld Suit. 

It was originally the uniform of a group of warriors from the Negative Zone, and accidentally came into the Blond Spider-Man's possession. He later gave this suit to a student named Casey St. Commons, and she became the new hero "Darkforce".

Later on, she was invited by Black Marvel to join the heroic organization "The Slingers".

What's even funnier is that she fell to her death during the entrance exam to join The Slingers organization. However, she was later resurrected as a living dead and completely mastered the powers of the Negative Zone ghost suit, possessing shadow teleportation abilities.

But The Slingers don't operate in New York, so you rarely see them around.

As for the suit in front of him, it's a replica made by the Blond Spider-Man as a commemoration. It doesn't have the original suit's shadow teleportation capability.

Additionally, the other ten sets are the Advanced Suit, Iron Spider Suit, Secret War Suit, Scarlet Spider Suit, Anti-Spider Suit, Stealth Suit, Spider Armor Mark 1, Spider Armor Mark 2, black and blue suit, and the cape suit.

Just like the Insulation Suit and the Negative Zone Netherworld Suit, they may not be the originals, but they all have their own stories behind them.

As Peter was examining these suits, with corresponding memory fragments involuntarily surfacing one by one, his spider-sense suddenly tingled!

Buzzing - 

A strong spider-sense, but not detecting danger. Instead, feeling an odd sense of familiarity?

Peter whipped his head around and looked behind him.

In the air, a black figure dropped down and stood in front of Peter, wondering: "Are you...the Spider-Man from TV? Didn't they say on TV that you were dead? What's going on?"

However, Peter just stared straight ahead at the person in front of him.

"Noir Spider-Man?!"

That's right, the Spider-Man wearing a black suit and a long coat who appeared in front of Peter at this moment was clearly the same Noir Spider-Man who first traveled through the fused shadows when he initially gained the power of bio-luminescent webbing!

"Do you know me?" Noir Spider-Man asked again.

"A few years ago, when I was a teenager, Uncle Ben took me to see Frankenstein, and it gave me nightmares. When I woke up, Uncle Ben held me in his arms. I hoped Uncle Ben would tell me there are no monsters in the world, but Uncle Ben thought I was old enough to understand the 'monsters' of this world. Uncle Ben told me all he could do was protect me from monsters."

"Well, sometimes there are monsters hidden in people's hearts, and they may even be more monstrous than actual monsters. Be careful of the human heart, Peter."

As Peter recited word-for-word what he and Noir Spider-Man had said, Noir Spider-Man's eyes went wide.

"You are...that young Peter?"

Peter nodded and showed a happy smile.

He originally thought it would be a very long time before he could see Noir Spider-Man again, but he didn't expect to see him this soon.

Two friends from different worlds meeting in another world. Now their moods were really similar to encountering an old friend in a foreign land.

Very exciting.

Just as Peter was about to tell Noir Spider-Man about his situation, his spider-sense tingled again.

He was confused, when Noir Spider-Man smiled, pointed behind him, and said, "Actually, there are two more friends here."

Peter followed his gesture and looked up.

"Hi! Hello, nice to meet you!"

What appeared in front of Peter was a short-haired girl wearing a Japanese school uniform, with a round red and blue robot sitting under her body.

As the girl greeted them, a happy emoticon appeared on the robot's screen.

"H-Hello," Peter stammered, feeling that this art style was a bit bizarre.

A spider mech and a girl? 

What an odd combination.

However, before he could finish his exclamation, the sound of "pitter-patter" came from the nearby bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, a small and exquisite humanoid pig came out and quickly walked towards Peter.

He stretched out his hand: "Hi, uh, sorry, I just washed my hands, so they're wet. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not," Peter leaned down and shook the humanoid pig's hand in a daze, giving it a squeeze.

A new node immediately appeared in the bio-luminescent webbing - Earth-8311B.

Fortunately, Peter had already met an amazing Spider-Man B from another universe before, so although he was surprised by the appearance of these Spider-heroes, he quickly accepted this magical turn of events.

They briefly introduced themselves to one another. 

The young girl's name is Penny Parker. She's the same age as Peter, only 15 this year. Next to her is her mech and companion named "SP//dr", which can also be directly called the Spider Mech.

The Spider Mech is a bio-mech, and its core control system is a spider.

It originally belonged to Penny's father. 

After his sacrifice, Penny inherited her father's legacy and was selected by the Spider Mech's main control system to become a Spider-Mech girl.

After shaking her hand, Peter got her universe number: Earth-14512B.

As for Spider-Ham on the side, his base form is a humanoid spider, and his Aunt May - May Porker - is an anthropomorphic pig and also a scientist. 

While experimenting with an atomic-powered hair dryer, May Porker was affected by side-effects that made her violent, and she bit Peter.

As a result, under the influence of radiation, Peter transformed from a "humanoid spider" into a "pig-snouted humanoid spider", but he still retains his spider abilities.

Yes, he's rather unique – he wasn't bitten by a spider, but by a pig instead.

When close to Spider-Ham, Peter could vaguely smell the aroma of ham.

Maybe that's why he's called "Spider-Ham"?

Peter also explained his identity to them, stating that he was not the Blond Spider-Man on TV who belonged to this world, but a Spider-Man who appeared in this world for some reason, just like them.

On this point, Noir Spider-Man could vouch for him.
