Marvel Knights: 2099, Issue Zero "New Year"

Prologue: Today is January 1st, 2099. A couple months ago, my life completely changed. Long story short, I was experimented on by a company called Alchemax. They did an experiment on me, which fused my DNA with the DNA of a spider. I thankfully survived this, but I quickly noticed my newfound powers. I could create webbing from my wrists, and climb on walls with my sharper finger tips, I gained super strength, and heightened agility. This was unusual for a person to have, especially that the time we now call the "heroic age" was over, for the longest time. But I made my own costume, and went on to start a new heroic age. My name is Miguel O'Hara... But I'm mostly known as Spider-Man.

 

I swung through the bright, loud, city of Nueva York. It's charming, even though it's so aggressively ear bleeding. I heard fireworks in the distance... I landed on a building, and took my mask off for a breather.

 

Spider-Man: *uff*... Ugh, that was tiring.

 

I speak to myself sometimes, it gets lonely. My phone rings in my pocket, so I take it out, and answer it.

 

Spider-Man: Hello?

 

The person who answered was Lyla, my best friend in a way. She's an artificial intelligence, programed by my ex-girlfriend.

 

Lyla, on phone: Hi, Miguel. How's it going?

 

Spider-Man: Uh, fine, I guess? Why are you calling me?

 

Lyla, on phone: Thought I should remind you that you planned on going out with Dana tonight?

 

Spider-Man: Sh#t... Completely forgot about that. Thanks.

 

Lyla, on phone: Language, and your welcome. Also, you wrote "Dana" on your calendar, which is why I said it, but I thought you were dating that other girl, "Xina?"-

 

Spider-Man: It's complicated.

 

Lyla, on phone: ...Okay, cool. Bye.

 

She hung up, and I put my phone back in my pocket. Right after, I saw a beam of yellow light shoot out from behind the building I was standing on.

 

Spider-Man: Well, that doesn't look good.

 

I put my mask on, and dropped down off the building. My fingertips brushed the glass of the building, lightly cutting it, before I landed on my feet, in an alley, behind a red and gold armored man, talking to a guy in a black hoodie, with a blue mohawk. The armored guy didn't notice me, not yet at least.

 

Armored guy: See? Isn't that impressive? That's the good tech Alchemax makes, alright? Get some of this next time!

 

I saw the blue haired man was shaking...

 

Armored guy: Huh? What's so scary?

 

He pointed his finger at me... The armored man turned around, and looked at me.

 

Armored guy: What the hell?!

 

Spider-Man: Hey hey!

 

Armored guy: Who's this guy supposed to be?!!

 

He shot a yellow laser towards me from his gauntlet, but I flipped out of the way.

 

Spider-Man: You can call me Spider-Man. You?

 

Armored guy: Hm... If we're gonna go with nicknames, I guess I'll be... Hm... How about, the Shocker?

 

He fired another laser, this one hit me, and hit me towards the ground.

 

Spider-Man: *uff*... Clever.

 

Usually I can anticipate attacks, with a little thing I call "spider-sense". Doesn't always work, though. I saw the blue haired guy get freaked out, and pull a metal rod from his pocket.

 

Mohawk guy: Get outta here, vigilante!!!

 

He pressed a button on the rod, it extended out into a long blade, it looked like a chainsaw with a sword handle. He charged at me with it, but I got up, and caught it.

 

Spider-Man, still holding blade: Ooh, that almost hurts!

 

I used my other hand to fire a web at the mans face, he backed up a step, releasing the blade from my hand, and ripping off the web.

 

Mohawk guy: Ugh... That's it!

 

He swung his sword-thingy again, but I jumped out of the way, and his blade got stuck in a wall.

 

Mohawk guy: Aghh..!!!

 

Spider-Man: Now I have something I can get you arrested for! You've swung a deadly weapon at me, twice! In addition to whatever was going on here already!

 

Shocker: Nothing else you can prove, punk!

 

He aimed his gauntlet at me, but before he could fire it, I used a web to pull his face to the ground!

 

Shocker: Ach!!!

 

I fired a couple more webs to him to keep him on the ground. I looked over, and saw the other criminal still trying to pull his sword from the wall.

 

Mohawk guy: Come on... Come on!

 

I used a web to pull him over Shocker, and webbed him over them, leaving the sword in the wall.

 

Spider-Man: Just let it go, man.

 

I pulled out my phone, and called Dana.

 

Dana, on phone: Hey, babe, where are you?

 

Spider-Man: Hi. I'll be at the restaurant in a second, A.S.A.P. Love you, bye.

 

I hung up the phone.
