[Hey there, network! Have a Spider-Man!]

So, those of you who know Spider-Man know how he's -- I'm-- always swinging around on webs, right? Well, truth of the matter is, I'm running short on the stuff and not entirely sure how to make more, so I need the help of some of our resident geniuses. I dunno, Tony Stark maybe? Somebody who's good with chemicals and technical stuff.

Let me know, I'd owe you big time.

Thanks!

[Damn is he sick of this question.]

Uh, no.

What, did you win the shortest lookalike contest?

Hey, I'm perfectly capable of being a superhero, alright? [At least he will be when Black Widow finishes training him.]

Please tell me your arch-nemesis is the neighbourhood bully.

I help the Ultimates, okay? I fought a Giant-Woman, and--and this Rhino guy, and plenty of bad guys!

[superieure]

[Rhino is a constant in both 'verses, the Ultimates are not.]

... Who are the Ultimates and why do they require the services of a child?

video;

[spiderkid]

I'm not a child! [He's getting REALLY sick of this argument.]

And the Ultimates... Well they're like... Does your universe have the Avengers?

video;

[superieure]

By my standards, you are.

[She folds her arms.]

Yes, the Avengers exist.

[spiderkid]

Well the Ultimates are like the Avengers. And I'm totally old enough to be an Ultimate.

[They're both ridiculous team names, in Monet's opinion. X-Men is much more descriptive.]

Says who?

[Yes Monet, that's the most mature response.]

video;

[spiderkid]

Says Nick Fury. [So there.]

[superieure]

Who, naturally, is an excellent example of sound life decisions.

[S I G H.]

Are you a mutant?

video;

[spiderkid]

Uh, no. [And he sounds rather relieved of that fact.] I'm Spider-Man.

[Unfortunately for Miles, she's ticked off, and that implication doesn't miss her. He's a kid, she can't yell outright, but her temper flares.]

Is there something wrong with being a mutant?

video;

[spiderkid]

[Well GEEZ, he can tell he's pissed this lady off.]

No, not really. Not unless they attack New York or something.

[superieure]

Attack New York -- [Deep breath? Calm down? NOPE, not her.] oh honestly, it never occurs to you saps that we have better things to do instead of wantonly destroy property at every opportunity we get, does it?

Re: video;

[spiderkid]

Not when you actually do go around attacking New York, it doesn't!

video;

[superieure]

Who was that then? One psycho and suddenly all of us are dangerous?

video;

[spiderkid]

I don't know! [Sigh.] I know that's not being fair to mutants. Look, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sure you're a perfectly nice mutant.

Thank you for finally employing some common sense, chéri.

[And with a cold smile, she cuts the feed. She's getting the last word here, ok.]
