"With great power comes great responsibility."
Those words have always defined me. For a long time, I believed that being Spider-Man was the only meaningful thing I could do, that this mask was the only thing I could have in this life.
But all that...
Everything begins in the city of Los Angeles, on an ordinary night where people simply live their lives peacefully.
But not everything is as normal as it seems at first glance. High above the buildings, we can see a man in a strange red and blue suit swinging through the city as he travels across the place.
This guy was swinging around as usual during his patrols.
While he was about to give himself a boost with his webs, the camera freezes so he suddenly begins talking to the audience.
POV – Peter's Narration
Okay... let's do this one last time...
My name is Peter Parker, I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for 15 years I have been the one and only ...

Spiderman.
(While Peter narrates his story, we can see Spiderman continuing to swing through the city, gliding between the buildings.)
I'm sure you already know the rest.

"With great power comes great responsibility."
I saved a ton of people, I fell in love, I saved the city.
I met a pretty cool guy who turned out to be a superhero.
We even teamed in many occasions
And then I saved the city again, and again, and again, and again.
And ummm... I also did this.

But we really don't talk about that.
(Yawn)
Ah, I'm so tired... haha sorry, but I haven't had my coffee yet hehe.
Anyway...
My relationship with my girlfriend Gwen improved a lot
I've faced all kinds of threats and enemies.
Guys with superpowers, people with sci‑fi crap, magic, etc.
A drone hit me.
I traveled to another dimension where I met other spider-people.
Most of them were quite nice.
I broke my back.
I lost .. Gwen .... And because of that... I crossed a line, one from which there is no turning back
That tormented me for many years, even to this day.
You'd think nothing could get worse from there, but... as always, fate likes to fuck my life.
A madman, whom I once admired, unleashed a biological weapon to destroy the city, and he almost succeeded.
Thanks to Mecha Man and other allies, we managed to stop him and save the city.
But at a great cost.
My Aunt May... she... I couldn't...
Arg ... It doesn't matter
because we don't talk about that either.
At least she and Uncle Ben can be together now
And some time after that I decided to stop making new friends or try to find a new love... you know... to avoid distractions and all that.
Except for my boy Robert, only because the bastard would be doomed without me... That man is quite a character ... I think he's even more depressed than I am... almost
However, after the last crisis, Robert and I never worked together as heroes again, and we didn't see each other as often anymore .... I missed the guy If I'm being honest.
I even lost my powers once.
I'm still not entirely sure why it happened, but I think it had something to do with an existential crisis or something like that.
IDK.
But despite everything I've been through... everything I've suffered... The challenges I have faced ... the people I've lost...
No matter how many hits I take... I always find a way to come back...
I will never let anything stop me or keep me from doing what's right...
As long as I have this power, protecting others will ALWAYS be my responsibility.
Because that's what it means to be Spiderman... That's who I am... And I'll never stop being a hero, that's the life I chose, and that's why I have no choice but to carry the burden, all by myself.
