I'm sorry, Mr. Parker.

That thing you gave me, that key I think I really messed it up.

I wanna do what you asked.

I really do.

But I'm sorry.

I'm not sure I'm the guy.

I can't do this without you.

[GASPS] Hey, kid.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES] [YELLS]

Whoa!

What did I do to him?!

[♪♪♪]

No.

Who are you?

PETER 2:
All right, people, let's do this one last time.

My name is Peter B. Parker.

I was bitten by a radioactive spider.

And for the last 22 years, I thought I was the one and only Spider-Man.

What a day.

I'm pretty sure you know the rest.

You see, I saved the city, fell in love, I got married, saved the city some more, maybe too much.

My marriage got testy, made some dicey money choices.

Don't invest in a spider-themed restaurant.

Then like 15 years passed. Blah, blah, blah. Super boring.

I broke my back, a drone flew into my face, I buried Aunt May.

My wife and I split up.

But I handled it like a champion.

[CRYING] 'Cause, you know what, no matter how many times I get hit, I always get back up. [ALARM CHIMING AND BUZZING]

[♪♪♪]

And I got a lot of time to reflect and work on myself.

Did you know that seahorses, that they mate for life?

Could you imagine?

A seahorse seeing another seahorse and then making it work?

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

She wanted kids and...

And it scared me.

I'm pretty sure I broke her heart.

Flash-forward:
I'm in my apartment doing push-ups, doing ab crunches, getting strong, when this weird thing happened.

And I gotta say, weird things happen to me a lot.

But this was real weird.

[YELLS]

[YELLS, DISTORTED]

[GRUNTING]

Ow!

You see, I was in New York, but things were different.

Also, I was dead.

And blond.

I was kind of perfect.

It was like looking in a mirror.

I have a feeling that the thing that brought me here was the thing that got him killed.

You wanna know what happened next?

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES] [YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

Me, too.

MILES:
Who are you?

OFFICER 1:
What are you doin' over there?

Freeze! P.D.N.Y.

Stop!

[YELLS, GRUNTS]

Are you kidding me right now?

OFFICER 2:
Stop! Stop!

I gotcha. I gotcha.

OFFICER 1:
Hey, kid. Drop the body.

Hey, kid. Get over here! OFFICER 2: Come on, now!

MILES:
Whoa.

See you, officers!

Aw, come on.

[GRUNTS]

[YELPS]

[GRUNTS]

OFFICER 1:
Hey, kid. OFFICER 2: Kid, come on, now!

Put 'em up, son!

[SCREAMS]

Uh... adiós?

[♪♪♪]

[SCREAMS]

Help! Somebody stop that train!

[YELPS, GRUNTS]

[WHIMPERS, SCREAMS]

PETER 2:
Oh, hey. What the...?

[BOTH GRUNT AND YELL]

Sorry.

[MILES SCREAMS]

I'm gonna die!

OFFICER [OVER RADIO]: Looks like a child dressed like Spider-Man dragging a homeless corpse behind a train.

[SIREN WAILS]

Yes! I didn't kill you.

PETER 2:
Who are you? MILES: Who are you?

PETER 2:
Why are you trying to kill me?

I'm not. I'm trying to save you.

[MUFFLED HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[♪♪♪]

[BOTH SCREAM]

MILES:
Hey, maybe you guys can go around?

[BARKS] All right. Thanks, New York.

PETER 2:
What was that?

Kid electrocuted me with his hands.

[GASPS, SIGHS]

You're like me. I got some questions.

[GRUNTING]

Why do you look like Peter Parker?

[PETER 2 GRUNTING]

Because I am Peter Parker.

Then why aren't you dead? And why is your hair different?

Why are you older? And why is your body a different shape?

Pretty sure you just called me fat.

You don't look so hot either, kid.

Most superheroes don't wear their own merch.

Are you a ghost? No.

Are you a zombie? Stop it.

Am I a zombie? You're not even close.

Are you from another dimension? Like a parallel universe where things are like this universe but different?

And you're Spider-Man in that universe?

But somehow traveled to this universe, but you don't know how?

Wow. That was really just a guess?

We learned about it in physics.

Quantum theory. This is amazing!

You can teach me like Peter said he would.

Before he died.

Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, right.

Look, I made a promise to him.

Here's lesson number one, kid.

Don't watch the mouth. Watch the hands.

[GASPS]

[YELPS]

Peter, seriously...

[SIGHS] Trust me, kid.

This'll all make you a better Spider-Man.

[GRUNTS] [ELECTRONIC STATIC]

Hey, are you okay?

PETER 2:
No, I'm not.

What's going on with your body?

I don't think my atoms are real jazzed about being in the wrong dimension.

[GROANS]

Look, I'm not looking for a side gig as a Spider-Man coach.

I got a lot going on in my dimension.

"With great power comes great..."

Don't you dare finish that sentence.

Don't do it! I'm sick of it.

[ELECTRONIC STATIC]

[GROANS]

Want my advice? Go back to being a regular kid.

I don't have a choice!

Kingpin's got a supercollider.

He's tryin' to kill me.

What did you just say? Kingpin's tryin' to kill me.

Who cares about that. Where's the collider?

Brooklyn. Under Fisk Tower.

Goodbye. Where you going?

When it runs again, I'll jump in and get back to my life. You can't let them run it.

I'm supposed to destroy it so it never runs again or everyone's gonna die.

"Or everyone's gonna die." That is what they always say.

But there's always a little bit of time before everybody dies and that's when I do my best work.

Aren't you gonna need this?

Aw, you have a goober. Give it.

Wait, no. Not so fast. He called it an override key.

There's always a bypass key, a virus key, a who-cares key.

I can never remember, so I always call it a goober. Give it.

I need it to destroy the collider.

I need it to go home.

I'll swallow it. Don't play with me.

What? I said...

The collider created a portal that brought me here.

And I have to get...

Did you break this? No, it broke.

I don't remember what happened.

See, this is why I never had kids.

Can't we make another one?

We can't do anything. Thanks to you, I have to re-steal what your guy stole from Alchemax and make another one of these. [GRUNTS]

If I don't turn off the collider after you leave, everyone in this city, my parents, my uncle and millions of others, will die.

And you're just gonna go home and leave me here to figure this out for myself?

You good with that, Spider-Man? Yeah.

[SIGHS]

What are you doing?

Making you feel guilty. Is it working?

How could it...? No. Look at me.

Does it look like it's working?

No. No, it's not... [SIGHS, CHUCKLES]

[MUFFLES A YELL]

No! No! No! Do not let him win!

All right, kid. You win.

Come on, we don't have a second to lose.

Mmm. I love this burger. So delicious.

One of the best burgers I've ever had.
