The Difference!

After having a shower and getting something to eat, Earl makes a mean English breakfast, I thought about the things which I needed to test and what tests I already had on file so I can create a baseline. I currently have on file, a 135M ball throw, a 5.5 second 50M dash, a 500KG grip test, a 4M long jump, 200 repeated side steps in a minute, running 25 miles in 1 and a half hours, 30 toe touches in a minute and 87 sit-ups in a minute.

This is my most recently updated tests around a week before I swallowed the spider. I'm sure these results are around the level of a peak professional athlete from my last world, though this is the Marvel universe so there are bound to be baseline humans who have better results than this. I saw this set of tests in a TV show on my original earth, I can't really remember which one but I know this was called an apprehension test. Honestly I have other tests but these are easy tests which I can do easily and get an idea of my strength.

Well I guess it's time to get the tests started, I have a big abandoned site where I can do all the tests, it's a old abandoned land fill where no one goes anymore as it's already filled and covered but it's big and empty. Perfect for me.

The sites not too far away from queens and I was easily able to do some of the tests at home, I only need this place to do the ball throw, the 50M dash, the long distance run and the standing long jump. I have already done the repeated side steps, the sit-ups, the grip test and the toe touches.

Repeated side steps in a minute- 1800

Sit-ups in a minute- 783

Grip test- 4500KG

Toe touches in a minute- 270

If I remember correctly Spider-Man could lift around ten tons, that's around three times as much as the worlds strongest human. So if Spider-Man is consistently three times stronger than the strongest human in all areas than I am 3 times stronger than that, three times stronger than Spider-Man in all areas according to my results.

Anyway I should start with the last four tests.

I have just come back to the house after completing my last four tests. I can say that the tests were enlightening and quite shocking. The last four tests were the ball throw, the 50M dash, the standing long jump and the long distance run.

Ball throw- 1215 Meters

50 Meter dash- 0.6 seconds

The standing long jump- 36 Meters

long distance run- running 25 miles in 10 minutes.

Overall I can estimate that I am around three times stronger than Spider-Man, this means that I am around ten times stronger than the strongest baseline human. These are my end results:

Ball Throw - 1215 Meters

50 Meter Dash. - 0.6 seconds

Grip test - 4500 KG

Standing Long Jump - 36 Meters

Repeated side steps(1 min) - 1800

Sit-ups(1 min) - 783

Toe-Touches(1 min) - 270

Long Distance Run(25 Miles) - 10 Minutes

Here's how they compare to my baseline results:

(Old results//New results)

Ball Throw - (135M//1215M)

50M Dash - (5.5secs//0.6secs)

Grip Test - (500KG//4500KG)

Long Jump - (4M//36M)

Sidesteps(1min) - (200//1800)

Sit-ups(1min) - (87//783)

Toe-Touches(1min) - (30//270)

Distance Run(25Miles) - (1hr30mins//10mins)

It's quite this difference, about 10 times difference. But this doesn't count the amount I can lift, it is said that Spider-Man can lift 170 times his body weight which is the proportionate strength of a spider. Peter is around 76Kg that means he should be able to lift around 12,920KG which is equal to around 14 tons which I guess is fairly accurate. My weight is around 85KG that means I should be able to lift around 14,450KG which is equal to around 16 tons.

But it's good to remember that Peter has the proportionate strength of a spider, while I have the proportionate strength of a radioactive spider. Who knows what the difference is but I'm guessing that I should be able to lift more than 16 tons. Going by my test results and following the trend I am three times as strong as Peter, if he has the proportionate strength of a spider I should have the proportionate strength of three spiders which means I can lift (510xBodyWeight) around 48 tons. Again all of this is a guess, an educated guess but a guess none the less.

Right, now I've finished my test I've come home, as soon as I've come inside and into the kitchen I take of my sweaty tank top and throw it onto the laundry pile. I make my way to the fridge and open it up and get a jug of milk which I immediately start to chug. With a bit of milk dribbling down the side of my mouth I put the milk back, close the fridge and start to wipe my mouth. As I'm doing so I look across the kitchen to the dining table and see MJ sat there watching me.

She is watching me like a predator watches prey, her eyes are dazed and her mouth is open and I think she is salivating quite a bit. That's weird why would she- and I suddenly look down at myself and realise why. Before my transformation I was pretty ripped but now, now I'm really jacked. I have an eight-pack and a muscular body, I am 6ft of wiry muscle all compounded into my lithe form, my body has loads of contours and I look like a Greek god. No wonder she is salivating, I do take pride in my appearance.

Earl did say that she was coming over to check on me everyday so it's not that weird that she is here and Earl has already probably told her that I'm awake. Well, this works out fine, I do need to thank her for looking after me while I was out and not telling anyone about my condition. "Hey MJ, thanks for calling Earl and not taking me to the hospital, I really appreciate it."

Mary Jane seems to snap out of the trance that she was in. "No problem Nick, I was really worried for you. What happened anyway, you suddenly ran out of Oscorp, why were you ill?" Oh shit, what do I tell her? The less people knowing about my powers the better.

"It was nothing MJ, I just had a allergic reaction to one of the chemical in the lab and I needed to get out of there." She smiles. "Do I look like an idiot Nick?" W-What...

"Mary Jane, what do you mean?" I hope she's not caught on. "Nick, I may not be the smartest but I'm not an idiot. When you told me to call your butler you told me to tell him it was a 'Mutate Situation'!" Oh shit, did I? I was kinda out of it and can't really remember much. "Mary Jane, I was clearly having a reaction to my allergy, I was really out of it and was spouting gibberish. My butler probably only came because he was worried and you called from my phone."

I think I saved it, nice one Nick. Oh wait, she looks kinda angry. "Don't lie to me Nick!" Her eyes narrow. "You said 'Mutate Situation', you're one of those mutants who have powers aren't you? Like the X-Men or that terrorist dude who can CONTROL METAL!" Shit, she's not an idiot and she's gotten kinda close. And even if I'm not a mutant she is still right that I've got powers.

She arches an eyebrow. "Well?" She questions. I don't see anyway out of this, I might just have to come clean and make sure she doesn't tell anyone about this. I can't really do anything to her and I don't know any technology that can wipe her mind. I'm definitely not a murderer, especially of girls who look after you for a week.

I guess I've just got to trust her, tell her and hope for the best...
