Bubonic

Bubonic is a prominent character within the PokeMark Cinematic Universe (PCMU).

## Appearance

His costume is red and blue, with black webbing. His eyes are slanted and white. Underneath the mask some say he is an average guy.

## Personality

Bubonic is quippy, and is able to banter with his villains. However, he also gets angry and holds a grudge, such as when he resents Arrokuda for his responsibility for Aunt Viv's death, and getting revenge against Green Goblin for pranking him with a Deez Nuts joke.

## History

### Early Life (1976 - 1983)

Bubonic - known as Zebruh - was just a kid. His parents died when he was young, so he was raised with his Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv in Bel Air. Growing up, his best childhood friend was Citrus.

### The Bite of '83 (1983)

At one point, Bubonic was at his cousin's birthday party at Fredbear's Family Diner. He went to get a FredBear plush for his cousin, but little did he know that it was radioactive. Thus, it bit Bubonic, giving him the ability to shoot - and swing from - webs, as well as climb on walls. Thus, he dedicated his life to using his powers for good. For he remembered the catchphrase of Fredbear in the Fredbear Family Cartoons, "With great power comes great responsibility, or or or or."

### Growing Pains (1983 - 1987)

Bubonic would continue to be Spiderman. He would perform sick flips and jumps, using his ability to make money. He would also entertain children, and their smiles is how Bubonic would justify his use for his abilities. He said his responsibility was to make people happy, and to bring his family money to support them however he can.

### The Rumbling / The Bite of 87 (1987)

Aunt Viv and Bubonic go on a vacation to Paradis Island in 1987. At first all is well, but one day while doing sick flips and jumps, he garnered a crowd like usual. But someone named Pieck Finger complained about the noise. Bubonic told her he needed to make money by performing. She said she missed the part where that's her problem and transformed into the Cart Titan to show she meant business. Sure enough, he left.

Later, an Arrokuda had broken into the house of Pieck while Spidey was swinging around. Pieck recognized Spider-Man and asked him to help her, as she was too exhausted to use her Titan ability. Spidey replied "I missed the part where that's my problem" and left.

Pieck would die to the Arrokuda. Later, Aunt Viv was out and about shopping when an event known as the Rumbling would occur. The Wall Titans would burst free, and he was forced to watch as Aunt Viv turned into a Pure Titan.

The last words Aunt Viv said before she transformed was the famous phrase from the Fredbear cartoons. "With great power comes great responsibility."

In mourning and rage, he used his powers to put the Titanized Aunt Viv out of her misery. Right before her death, she gave an approving nod. Full of anger at this point, he began to swing around town to see who did it, only to realize the Rumbling was coming from the same Arrokuda he allowed to murder Pieck that day. He realized if he stopped Arro and saved Pieck, he would've also prevented the Titanification of Aunt Viv.

He saw others, namely Ribby and the Pratt Gang, trying to reason with Arro. Although he was angry, and didn't feel like Arro could be reasoned with, he saw that it worked and Arro calmed down. Arro even brought back their friend Gabi. Bubonic wanted Arrokuda to bring back Viv, but by the time he was calm enough to ask, Arro was already gone.

### Bill Nye Internship and The Green Goblin (1987 - 1990)

Bubonic needed some way to advance his mind scientifically, so he could upgrade his suit. Plus, some work would be nice. So, he met with a scientist his Uncle knew from college, Bill Nye.

Bill and Bubonic worked on many projects, and grew a partnership over time. Bill would help Bubonic upgrade the Spider costume, and Bubonic would help Bill on perhaps the most important project he's ever worked on: Attachments of 4 Cybernetic Arms.

During this period, a criminal popped up - The Hamburgler. Bubonic managed to defeat the Hamburgler and put him behind bars. This was the first time the city knew of Bubonic's great deeds.

However, the first real threat came when a nuisance came about to the city. This nuisance was known as the Green Goblin. He would commit very minor misdemeanors, but Spidey was on the case nonetheless! Notable crimes he had committed were

* Calling random people and asking if their refrigerator was running. When they said yes, he would always reply "WELL YOU BETTER CATCH IT HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA"
* Call 911 and say there's a break-in at somewhere there wasn't. Usually some public restaurant. He'd make sure to emphasize it was a minor crime though, he didn't wanna actually swat someone and risk someone actually getting hurt.
* Call pizza stores and order under the name Candice. When they asked for a last name, he'd reply "CANDICE DICK FIT IN YOUR MOUTH HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" and hang up.
* He never crosses the street when the sign says go. He always does it when the sign says for cars to go. Every single time.

Spider-Man went to confront the Goblin. He then said that DN made him do it. When Spidey asked who DN was, Goblin replied "DEEZ NUTS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" and left.

Confused and VERY angry over the Goblin having pulled a Deez Nuts joke on him, Bubonic went to his buddy Citrus's house, needing advice. Citrus's father, Grapefruit Osborn, had Bubonic stay for dinner. He gave Bubonic the advice that to pursue Bubonic's goals, it needs to be about 'Drive, about Power' and that he needed to 'Stay hungry' and 'Devour'.

With this advice, Bubonic left for the night. They said their goodbyes, and Grapefruit wished him good luck.

At 4 AM, Uncle Phil received a knock at the door. He said grace while opening the door, and while there was no one there, he saw that his house was egged. He yelled, until the Goblin - holding a basket of the eggs - told him to finish the prayer. Uncle Phil did, and Bubonic saw the Goblin. He went after the Goblin, until he stepped on a whoopee cushion. It let out a loud fart and the Goblin laughed.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?!"

The Goblin recognized his voice. He asked "SPIDERMAN?!?! I thought you died of Ligma..." Confused, Bubonic asked what he was talking about, until Gobby said "LIGMA BALLS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!"

However, just then he clutched at his heart. He couldn't stop laughing as he fell on the ground. Bubonic pulled off the mask to reveal none other than Grapefruit. He tried to revive Grapefruit, but just as he was about to die Grapefruit said 'It's about drive... It's about power... We stay hungry... We devour... Put in the work... Put in the hours... Take what's ours... Don't tell Citrus... Bury me in Sawcon..."

"What's Sawcon?" Bubonic asked.

"Sawcon deez nuts."

And with that, the Goblin died. Bubonic yelled at the sky and yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

At the funeral, which Bill Nye and others attended, Bubonic talked to Citrus. He heard that Spider-Man was responsible. He would swear revenge on Spidey and kill whoever did it.

### Bubonic vs the Ratfucker (1990 - 1993)

Bubonic would hear on the news about a man in a rat costume. What was this man doing? He was fucking rats.

Instantly, Bubonic would be on the case to stop this menace. IMMEDIATELY, ON GOD.

During this time though, he'd also interrogate Hamburglar. He felt sympathy for the man after what happened to Grapefruit. What he heard surprised him. Basically, he was part of a crime ring much bigger than anyone could ever know. And that was all the Hamburglar would say.

He would tell Bubonic that the best way to catch a Ratfucker is to draw him out with cheese. Bubonic would take this into consideration, and lure out the Ratfucker with cheese. The Ratfucker would find it, and just wait. A rat would come over to find the cheese and the Ratfucker would go over to try to fuck it.

On the way out, Bubonic met a girl named Gwendolyn, who worked as a volunteer intern for the NYPD since her father was a member of the DEA. She wasn't a fan of Spider-Man though.

When Bubonic swung down to fight Ratfucker, the two would be evenly paced. The Ratfucker would avoid Bubonic's attacks and pull out a shank. When Bubonic was about to take him down, however, some goons led by a man with wings and a low budget pidgeon mask came out to try to attack Bubonic. Bubonic wiped out a few of the goons, but the dude with wings grabbed Bubonic with the wings.

The man said 'This is your warning. Don't dig any deeper.' before he dropped Bubonic and flew away. The goons would escape as well. Bubonic would search for the Ratfucker but he was gone. And so was the rat.

Bubonic would go to Dr. Nye in desparation, and Nye would help create a trap, which his 4 arms would help with. The trap would lure the Ratfucker, and Bubonic would fight him with Dr. Nye. At the end, Dr. Nye and Bubonic managed to finish off the Ratfucker, bringing him into jail.

Nye and Bubonic discuss at great length about the winged man. Nye said that he's a local urban legend, known as the Pidgeon.

Additionally, Bubonic in his Bubonic identity would go down to learn more about the NYPD, and talk to Gwendolyn. The two got along, and he asked for her number. She gave it to him and they started texting.

### The Hamburglar Strikes Again! (1993 - 1997)

Bubonic would fight a criminal duo, that being The Meanager (A hotel manager known as Mr. Moseby who's tired of people running in his lobby) and Mr. Nut (A criminal obsessed with nuts, but is ironically allergic to them.) Both of whom are caught and thrown into prison fairly easily.

However, before being carted off, The Meanager would mention that Spider-Man is only going for the small criminals, while leaving the big crime rings alone. Intrigued, Bubonic would ask The Meanager about this. The Meanager would mention that there was a winged man who spoke for a being higher up, as well as a polar bear who would appear at the Hotel, who seem to be above even the hotel's manager.

He mentioned that they would visit to receive money from the Hotel, and while the polar bear was respectful, the winged guy would constantly run, and while initially he complained about the winged guy running in the lobby, the Hotel's owner would personally give Moseby an unpaid break for a week. When Moseby would return, he'd be told to give winged man a pass.

Thus, Moseby would tell Spider-Man to protect him. When asked why, Moseby would mention that the higher-ups are 'always watching'.

After this, he hung out with Gwendolyn, where she said that her dad taught her law and order, and that their mother died due to collateral from a vigilante. Thus, she hated Spider-Man.

A week later, he'd hear the Hamburglar had gotten out of prison. He'd go to investigate but before he could, a monkey appeared and jumped on top of him. A voice spoke through a communicator device on the monkey, saying that they need to talk now.

The two went to a local bar suggested by the voice, and they quickly found a table. The voice introduced the monkey as Curious George, and himself as merely a potential friend. He then said that Spidey's been a bit of a thorn on the 'The Big Guy's' side, and that they can find an arrangement that works for both of them. Just then, George pulled a stack of hundred dollar bills from his pocket and put it on the table in front of them.

The voice said to keep it as a tease to what could be Bubonic's - if he just looked the other way when their crime ring told him to.

Bubonic looked down. He knew Uncle Phil needed the money, but he also remembered what Aunt Viv - and Fredbear before him - once said: "With great power comes great responsibility".

It was then that he knew that Uncle Phil wouldn't approve of Bubonic looking the other way. He threw the money in George's face, telling them that his integrity isn't for sale. The voice said that this was acceptable. Just then, the crew looked toward them and started attacking Bubonic, just as he was able to swing away. Before he was fully out of the bar, he could hear the voice saying "Your funeral, Spider-Man!"

He would find Dr. Nye in his office, studying how to bring back the dead through technology. He would explain what just happened, with Nye in shock. Nye would panic before saying that he would help Bubonic on this mission - after all Bubonic had done for him.

Just then, several goons broke in, with Spider-Man and Nye taking them out easily.

Bubonic would then swing over the city, trying to find the Hamburglar to throw back into jail. He would swoop down when he saw him, and talk to him.

He'd explain that the goons connected to the Hamburglar were currently after him. Hamburglar would explain that the prison is owned by someone high-up in the crime organization, and that they knew that Hamburglar ratted. They threatened Hamburglar that if he ever snitched, they'd kill him. Thus, Bubonic agreed to protect him from the gangsters.

He'd take the Hamburglar to Nye's base, and they'd see the Pidgeon coming in. Pidgeon would be assisted by George and another crook - The Hash Slinging Slasher. The three would battle, and at first they'd win with the Pidgeon flying a wounded Slasher and George away. Hamburglar, Nye and Spidey were barely injured, with Hamburglar thanking Spidey and Nye and heading on his way. Before long, they realized Hamburglar had stolen Spidey's lunch.

After this, Bubonic would go on another date with Gwendolyn. She'd meet Uncle Phil during this time.

However, that night, a news report would come on. Turns out Nye's home had been burned in a fire, with Nye's wife and child being among the casualties.

### Bubonic vs Doctor Octopus (1997 - 2000)

Nye, in his mourning and rage, decided to kill the city mayor - who was taking money from the local crime rings. Thus, he'd begin to weaponize his arms.

Meanwhile, Bubonic would continue to swing around the city, catching criminals when The Pidgeon - with upgraded wings and an upgraded suit - would attack Bubonic. Bubonic would escape, but then run into Killer Bean who would also try to take him out. He'd then rest in an alley, where he'd look out to see The Pidgeon, Killer Bean and the goons searching. He went through to the other end, where he'd see Curious George, The Hash Slinging Slasher and Brown Jr. - aka Oprahs.

Bubonic decides to throw away the Spider-suit, seeing Uncle Phil's house across the street, with the mob goons going up and down the street.

Bubonic would walk up to his house, without the suit, with the goons unaware of his identity as Spidey. Uncle Phil gave him a big hug, and said he was worried about Bubonic with the sudden increase in goon presence.

For a few weeks, Bubonic would live as a normal person - getting good grades and stuff. He would regularly hang out with Citrus again. During this time, Bubonic would be invited to Gwendolyn's house where he'd meet her father, Hank Schrader. The two got along well, although Hank would go on a few rants about how Spider-Man is a menace.

After this, Bubonic would see on the news Dr. Nye attacking a luxury apartment.

Bubonic would see Uncle Phil, and told him that he had to visit Citrus to get help for a project. Uncle Phil said that the goons are currently gone, so now would be a safe time. Bubonic would leave, running toward the alley he threw his suit in. However, he wouldn't see it anywhere.

He decided that he'd just buy a local jumpsuit and work on the details later. Once he did, he'd swing around to Nye. He'd ask Nye what he was doing, and Nye said that he's going after the guy responsible - the guy leading the mob, and the guy who killed his wife and kid. Bubonic asked if Nye even knows where he is, and Nye said he'll find him. Bubonic said that this is ridiculous, and that innocents will get hurt in your rampage.

Nye said that if Bubonic didn't get out of his way, he'd make him. Bubonic said that this is stupid, but Nye used his arms to knock him out of the way. Bubonic swung back up to him and just as Nye was about to take some rich guy down, Bubonic threw Nye off the building. Nye caught back on and jumped up to Bubonic. They'd begin to fight, with Nye knowing all Spider-Man's techniques, even having tech within the arms to counter Spidey's webs.

Spidey fell down and swung away, recovering from the attack. The Hash Slinging Slasher would go after him, but Spidey would avoid his attacks and eventually lose him. He'd go down to Nye's basement, with a sixth sense telling him that it would be tripped with rigs for a bomb. Spidey thus managed to deactivate the rigging mechanisms, preventing the bombs from going off. This was the first time his Spidey Sense had activated.

He'd find some spare arms, albeit smaller. He'd also find some metal attachments and armor. He'd attach the armor and spare arms to his Spidey-Suit, creating the Iron Spider Suit Mark 1. He'd also equip the suit with electrical pulses to de-activate the arms.

Spidey swung back up to meet Nye, and they fought once more. This time, Spidey had the upper hand, with him de-activating the arms. As Nye fell, Spidey caught him with his webs. But yet, they were being shot at by the goons from below. Thus, Spidey would escape with Nye, handing him over to the police, telling them to make sure he stays safe.

As he swung off, he looked at the luxury apartment, specifically the top floor. Through the window, he'd see a large polar bear. The bear would look back at Bubonic, the two staring at each other before Bubonic swung off.

### Five Night's at Freddy's (2000 - 2011)

Bubonic decided to work at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which been open for years. He needed to pay Mr. Ditkovich's rent, after all. He would be haunted, however, by the animatronics that worked there, possessed by the spirits of animatronics that Slime, under the alias of William Afton, had murdered.

While working at the pizzeria and avoiding being killed by the animatronics working there, he would fight various criminals during this time. He also made things official with Gwendolyn.

### The Kingpin of Crime (2005 - 2008)

Whilst working at Freddy Fazbear's, Spidey would perform Spider-duties during the day. However, one day he received a message from George, from a voice much deeper than the last speaking through the communicator. The voice told him to meet at the top floor of the apartment.

Spidey would do just that, only to meet a masked man at a desk, and the polar bear who looked at him last time sitting next to the man. The man introduced himself as Mr. Brown, and told Spidey that he wishes to thank Spider-Man for saving his life. It was then that the Hash Slinging Slasher and the Pidgeon would enter the room, standing on either side of the exit.

Brown would tell Spidey to sit at the chair at the desk across from Brown, which Spidey would do.

Brown would mention that the two could accomplish great things together, and that there are those who wish for Spider-Man to die. However, Brown could offer protection against such forces. If only the two could work together, Spidey could look the other way, and Brown could lend Spider-Man great riches and protection against other villains. After all, Spider-Man taking down other criminals only helps Brown gain a monopoly over organized crime.

Spidey refused, saying that he'd never work with Brown.

Brown would nod, saying he'd spare Spidey for today since he saved Brown's life. He'd give Spidey the Polar Bear as a gift, Spidey at first a little hesitant. After all, he couldn't take care of a dog - let alone a polar bear. Brown would insist, saying that it's 'easier than it seems', and that the gang could help if need be. The Pidgeon would walk over to Spidey and say that refusing a gift from Mr. Brown is a death sentence.

Spidey would accept the gift out of fear and respect, and go home with the bear. He'd hide the bear from Uncle Phil, who'd start asking questions. After watching TV with Phil, Bubonic would go downstairs and feed the bear, before heading to bed. The bear would give a slight grin when Bubonic left.

The next day, the bear would run upstairs and attack Uncle Phil. Bubonic would fight the bear himself, telling Phil to run. Phil would be confused on why there's a polar bear in his house, but Bubonic would explain later. Bubonic would barely survive against the bear, with the bear running off. Bubonic would panic, but at least have some comfort that the bear couldn't speak - or even understand who he is.

He'd go fight some crooks - running into the Meanager who had escaped prison. After Spidey quipped lightly about running into a large polar bear at his home, Meanager would instantly freeze up. He'd warn Spidey that the polar bears wield great power - greater than any goon.

Spidey would go up to meet Brown after the day, explaining how the bear had escaped. He'd then see that the bear was right next to Brown. Brown would say, "Hello, Bubonic. Glad your Uncle's safe. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him."

All the color in Bubonic's face faded away as he realized they somehow learned his entire identity within that short amount of time.

"So, you wanna take that deal? Look the other way while we give you protection? If not, I'll add in another little stipulation."

Bubonic would grow increasingly angry.

"You do as we say, or your precious Uncle gets it."

At that point, Bubonic leapt and landed a powerful punch on Brown. His head came off, although it was a robot head. He was confused, until the head spoke.

"You know, Bubonic," Bubonic then turned to the bear, who was approaching him.

"I think we need to introduce ourselves once more. The name's Mr. Brown."

The bear grinned as he got into a position to pounce.

"And that decoy? Worth more than poor Uncle Phil's entire net worth."

The bear, the real Mr. Brown, would leap on Bubonic. Despite him trying to use his webs against Brown, they didn't do all that much. He would then throw Bubonic off the edge of the building, Bubonic realizing that his web shooters were broken due to Brown crushing them. He'd fall over to the wall of the building and latch on, climbing down in fear.

He'd check on his Uncle, who after their house was destroyed, would stay at Hank and Gwendolyn's place. Bubonic would contemplate a lot, realizing he needed to confess to Phil.

He told Uncle Phil, who told Bubonic that he guessed it was him, but that he didn't want to stress Bubonic by talking about it. Phil only asks Bubonic to be honest and to stay alive. Bubonic told Phil that before she died, Viv said that with 'Great power comes great responsibility', and Phil gave Bubonic a big hug.

Hank said that they'd be able to stay as long as they need, with Bubonic and Phil agreeing not to tell Hank or Gwendolyn, due to their hatred for Spider-Man.

### Bubonic vs Sinesterio (2011 - 2013)

Bubonic would continue to fight crime, although a bit more carefully. It was at this point he planned on proposing to Gwendolyn. Hank and Phil pitched in to buy him a ring to propose with. He would be attacked by Diego Marquez, although he would be dispatched fairly easily. Upon questioning, he'd confirm he was hired by someone to kill Spider-Man. Bubonic would ask if he was hired by Brown's gang, which he said no. He'd be put in a different jail.

He'd then see a man with black and yellow on, as well as a fishbowl on his head. This man was Sinesterio. He didn't have any powers but he was a real nuisance so Bubonic was on the case immediately.

He would just barely escape from Bubonic, and while Bubonic was thinking of ways to get him, The Pidgeon would come to take on Bubonic. Bubonic would unmask the Pidgeon and hand him over to the cops, who have no choice but to arrest him.

He would also run into Mr. Nut, and they would fight. However, one of the Iron Spider Suit's robot arms accidentally broke his nut. It would be fatal, turns out.

Spidey would take him to a hospital, where he would feel immediate guilt. Worst of all, he was caught on camera murdering Mr. Nut.

That night, Bubonic would eat dinner with Hank, Gwendolyn and Phil. Phil would say that this wasn't like Spidey, and that maybe it was an accident. Hank, meanwhile, was skeptical. He didn't like Spider-Man with how he operates outside the law and can't be held accountable. Phil retorts that Spidey has been doing the right thing, helping the police take in criminals. Gwendolyn was mixed, for she knew how much Bubonic was a fan of Spider-Man, but she also didn't like vigilantes. Bubonic also kept his mouth shut.

Due to his guilt, he held back on proposing to Gwendolyn.

He would find Sinesterio again, who was just using graffiti on the wall. He'd see Bubonic again and they'd fight, but Bubonic would show a lot of restraint due to the Mr. Nut case. Bubonic would lose and Sinesterio would flee.

After talking to Uncle Phil, Phil said that the right thing to do after all this would be to turn himself in. But Bubonic was worried about what that would do to Phil. Phil said he'd be fine, but Hank knew many criminals would be after Spidey if he got thrown in jail. Plus most didn't know who he was.

Bubonic would have one more encounter with Sinesterio, where he would actually beat him. Sinesterio would be put behind bars. However, the court of the law and public opinion would be after Bubonic for what he did to Mr. Nut.

### Giving Up Spider-Man, and Turf War (2015 - 2018)

Bubonic's identity has been revealed, putting his whole life in chaos. He has no choice but to stay holed at Hank's place, and with the courts wanting to sue Bubonic for the death of Mr. Nut, but eventually Bubonic - with the encouragement of Uncle Phil - turned himself in. Hank, meanwhile, was told that Bubonic had to go on a trip with Pomegranate.

Phil told Bubonic to refuse to speak without a lawyer, and Phil saw an ad for a lawyer, and decided to talk to him about defending Bubonic.

As Bubonic was turned in, the cops tried to get info out of him. However, he refused to speak until he had a lawyer. Just then, Saul Goodman - the lawyer Phil hired - walked in and said that Bubonic defended himself against an aggressor who was trying to attack him.

During court, Saul would use this defense. As for revealing his secret identity, Saul stated that this could endanger him in his line of work, as well as his family and friends - who did nothing wrong. The opponents fumbled the ball so much on the offense that Saul won. In the court of public opinion, views were mixed. Citrus hated Spidey for what he believes Spidey did to his father and Hank believed Spider-Man needed to be held accountable to the law, but Bubonic had his fans - including Phil. Gwendolyn was still mixed, and due to the recency of the situation and Bubonic's reluctance due to Brown's knowlege of his identity, he didn't propose to her yet.

Yet, Bubonic realized that the identity of Spider-Man was too dangerous for his loved ones, especially with Brown now knowing his identity. It seemed that Brown was the true owner of the city, and that the responsible thing to do would be to give up on Spider-Man. After all, it was only after Spider-Man arose that these criminals started to pop up.

Thus, he threw away his Spider-Suit and began prioritizing his personal life. The Ratfucker escaped prison, but he just moved on with life. He would try to spend time with Pomegranate, but Pomegranate was studying for college. He'd try to do well in college, but he didn't study the material enough so his grades didn't improve all that much. He quit his job at Freddy Fazbear's and ended up a worker at the nearby Circus Baby's Rentals. He saw Diego Marquez trying to steal one of the animatronics, and Bubonic had to stop him as Bubonic.

He then saw an animatronic who looked like Aunt Viv. He asked "Aunt Viv, is that you???"

Viv said 'Yes, Bubonic. It's me, but as a robot known as Ballora."

They had a reunion, and then Bubonic left. This plotpoint will proceed to never be brought up again.

After this, he saw Circus Baby try to lure him to the Scooper Room. However, Bubonic was too smart for this, so he dipped. He did, however, learn that she was being possessed by the spirit of Walter White's daughter Holly, with the other animatronics besides Ballora being possessed by the kids ItsSlimeTime murdered.

He was leaving the restaurant, when he heard some noise. He saw Brown's men fighting with some Brazilian goons. When he went to run, he saw a bystander shot. He wanted to know what was going on, but knew that if he interfered his identity as Spider-Man would be publicly exposed.

It was when he got home that he found Killer Bean at his house, alongside Curious George. George had a speaker, and Mr. Brown's voice played. Brown told Bubonic that he needed help getting rid of crime lords JVVC and Gus Fring, the two of whom are working as an up-and-coming criminal organization together.

Spidey states that he's retired, the city doesn't need him and he can't save the city. Brown says that it's a shame, and that they could've worked together. However, as long as he's not with JV, he's fine with Spider-Man staying out of crime's way.

Spidey realized that he could let both gangs tear themselves apart, allowing Bubonic to bring law and order back to the city. However, he saw Hank get caught in the middle of some gunfire. Bubonic then had no choice but to get a nearby paper bag to put on his face and rush over to fight them.

First he got Hank to a safe place, and then rushed over to take down the rest of the goons. He checked up on Hank, who asked who Bubonic was. Bubonic replied that he was Bagman, before leaving.

He went to his old suit, only to see it gone. He decided to go back to Phil and Hank's place, where Hank would talk about being saved by a 'Bag-Man', and how there are more and more vigilantes every day, with law and order being thrown out. Phil was just thankful Bubonic and Hank were safe.

Phil told Hank that he would drive Bubonic to work to have a tour around the place, and when they got in the car, Phil led Bubonic in the car to their old house. Downstairs where Brown previously went on his rampage, they met Walter White, the man who invented the Atom Bomb, as well as a fan of Spider-Man's known as Jesse Pinkman.

The two present Phil and Bubonic with a new suit, and Phil tells Bubonic that Hank and the police can't bring order. There needs to be someone else to help. There needs to be a Spider-Man.

Bubonic puts on the new suit, which Jesse and Walt dubbed the Heisenberg Suit. This suit also gives Bubonic webbed gliders to help glide, as well as stronger webs. He can also now shoot out pheromones designed to send enemies to sleep. Walter gave Bubonic his number in case Bubonic needed his help.

To avoid suspicion, they actually visit Circus Baby's Rentals, where The Hamburglar is hiding. When asked, Hamburglar mentioned that the world is getting crazier out there, and that JV's goons are after him for information since he's a known rat. The cops are also after him, because he still hasn't gone back. However, he said that he was trying to get his life back together, get a legitimate job to support his family and cut his ties to Brown.

Just then, Sale and Zucchero walk in, and with a standoff against Bubonic, he manages to escape with the Hamburglar. He and Phil get in the car and leave, calling Hank to bring the NYPD down to take them on.

Sure enough, as Sale and Zucchero were pursuing Phil and Bubonic, Hank and the cops came and had a standoff against the two. Hank's whole platoon was murdered, but before Sale could finish Hank, Spidey came in and took down both goons. During the conflict, a gas leak occured which led to everyone escaping Circus Baby's. Hank said that this 'changes nothing', and Spidey swung off to help fight more goons.

Bubonic sees Sundowner fighting The Pidgeon, and decides to interfere. During the fight, Sundowner kills The Pidgeon saying 'Give war a chance!'

Eventually, Bubonic realized that JV and Gus were also working with ItsSlimeTime, the leader of the Pratt Gang who overthrew his friend Ribby. Thus, he went to battle Slime, only to realize that Slime was working with Brown for a bigger price. He was gaining intel on JV and Gus before betraying them.

A siege of JV and Gus's local hideout then happened, with a brawl amongst the members ensuing. During the gunfire, Mistral - one of Slime's goons - was murdered by Risotto Nero. Gus and JV were forced to flee once more, after JV's tentacle was cut off by Sundowner.

Slime and Bubonic had a battle, which Brown watched. Bubonic feigned defeat, but Brown betrayed Slime and attacked him. Slime managed to escape, with Brown telling him to get off his turf.

Bubonic was weak, and was struggling to get up. Brown punched Bubonic, once after another, as he ranted about how Bubonic was naive enough to think Brown would leave him alone. This was what Brown wanted - not to expose Bubonic, but to take him down, proving his superiority once and for all.

It was then that Brown was getting shot at, which diverted his attention. This gunfire was coming from Hank and his men, who were firing at Brown.

Brown was mauling the NYPD cops, and leapt toward Hank. Bubonic was struggling to get up, but he couldn't. However, as Brown stabbed Hank through the chest, Bubonic gained the strength required to get up, and ran toward Brown.

***Standing there, he realized, that Brown was just like him trying to make history. But who's to judge, from right and wrong? When their guards are down, he thought they'd both agree, that violence breeds violence.***

***But in the end, it had to be this way.***

And thus, with the song It Had To Be This Way in the background, Bubonic began slugging Brown, one after another. He then thought about Hank, then Phil, then Pomegranate, and then Viv. He thought about Ribby, and then Pieck. At that point, his hits were actually hurting Brown, but not nearly enough.

He thought about FredBear, the bear who taught him that all important lesson.

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.

His punches became harder as Brown was starting to go down.

Then, he thought about Gwendolyn.

And his punches were greater, as Brown was on the ground now.

Bubonic raised his arms, about to finish the final blow. But then he saw Hank, and knew that he'd want Bubonic to wait until the feds could arrest him. And sure enough, backup arrived.

Bubonic knelt at Hank's side, with Hank saying that Spidey wasn't so bad, and that he couldn't see the good Spidey did for the city. Bubonic then unmasked himself, and Hank was shocked. However, he said that he was proud of Bubonic, and then died in his arms. However, this wasn't before saying, "Be good to her, son."

At that point, Bubonic swang off, letting the guards handle the situation. He let Phil know of the news, and the two cried for Hank's loss. Gwendolyn

Phil, Bubonic, Walter, and Hank's family and friends were at the funeral. The NYPD gave him a farewell. Tears were shed. Before Bubonic left, Walt talked to him about Hank and his legacy. Walt said that whenever Bubonic needed him, he was there. Spidey thanked him, before he and Phil left.

He'd go to Bruhouse Penitentiary and visit Bill Nye. He'd tell Nye that the Kingpin has been taken care of. Nye simpy gave a satisfied smile at this, and Bubonic left, knowing he gave Nye the closure he needed.

However, due to the gas leak, Circus Baby's Rentals shut down.

### The Ribbyists vs DaMongols (2023)

Bubonic was invited to Dr. Gamer's wedding with Pyra Xenoblade, due to his connections with Gamer's former tutor, none other than Walt. Once he was there, he saw a few people. First, he saw Arrokuda, the man who performed the Rumbling. What was he doing there?! He ruined many peoples' lives, even led to Aunt Viv's death! He went up to confront her when he also saw Pieck Finger - the woman who he failed to save, somehow back to life! He went up to her and began to speak. She recognized him, although was surprised at how much more mature he seemed. He apologized profusely for what happened, but before she could say anything, an organization by the name of The Ribbyists, led by Ribby's evil clone Bully Ribby, invaded the ceremony!

Thankfully the casualties were kept to a minimum, but the group was rattled by the incident. Pieck, Reiner Braun, Falco Grice and Gabi Braun mentioned that their former comrade Annie Leonhardt was among the Ribbyists. Pyra pulled up a video, a recording of Bully Ribby giving a speech declaring war against DaMongolian Jempire.

They decided to join together to invade Paradis and take on the Ribbyists, with Walter creating chemical weapons for the others to use if need be. Ribby and Arrokuda also went to PokeMark and asked for him to join them in their cause.

During preparation, Bubonic spoke to Gabi and Arrokuda. Gabi apologized to Arrokuda for killing Sasha, and Arrokuda forgave her. However, Bubonic wasn't so quick to forgive. He was upset at Arrokuda for allowing his Aunt Viv to die, although he quickly realized he also didn't realize that he also failed to save Gabi. He apologized to Gabi for not being able to save her, which she was confused by since she didn't know who he was. Regardless she forgave him.

Arrokuda apologized to Bubonic for killing Aunt Viv, but Bubonic was still upset. The sting of her loss still hurt him, and he mentioned that he even saw Uncle Phil break down into tears over the loss multiple times. However, he remembered seeing Aunt Viv at Sister Location, realizing that she would've wanted him to move on. Phil accepted the loss, but Bubonic was still upset for some reason.

Once everything was ready, Bubonic had one more talk with Walter. Walt and Bubonic talked, and Walt mentioned that he knew Aunt Viv from college. He missed her too, but that grudges were unhealthy. She would've wanted Bubonic to live his best life now, and make amends for what happened.

Speaking of making amends, before they got on the plane, Pieck went to Bubonic and said that she never got to officially forgive Bubonic for what happened, and that she doesn't hold it against him. She also heard how Bubonic protected the city, and that she's proud of what he's become. Bubonic and Pieck both walked into the plane, and the Jempire, Mark and friends took off.

Bubonic swung at the Ribbyist hordes, while Ribby went for Slime. Bubonic saw Sundowner with the group once more, and the two fought. Arrokuda came in and helped him win at the last minute, with Bubonic giving an approving nod. Eventually Bubonic saw Ribby attacked by Floch Forster, the right-hand-man of Bully Ribby. Bubonic swung over and fought him, with the Ribbyists coming in with their Spider-Man Inspired 3D Manuever Gears.

Eventually Pieck provided backup, as she was able to take on one of them which provided Bubonic an opportunity to surprise attack the others. Bubonic then went in to assist Ribby's wife Sonia, Reiner, Falco and Arrokuda against the Female Titan.

Bubonic then saw Adam Sandler turn into the Armored Titan, presumably eating Bully Ribby. He then went to attack the Female Titan, with Annie inside the Female using her crystal to freeze herself. Bubonic used his web to take her up with the planes as they escaped, with Adam and his tutor ItsSlimePrime presumably escaping as well.

Pieck decided she would go with Reiner, Falco, Gabi, Dr. Gamer, Pyra and a few others to catch the remaining Ribbyists and settle the situation in Paradis. She and Bubonic said goodbye before Bubonic went with the rest to interrogate Annie.

Bubonic got back to Gwendolyn, and finally proposed to her. She accepted the proposal.

### Bubonic vs VenomTrap (2027)

Bubonic would begin to work at FazBear's Fright, an attraction dedicated to capitalizing on the urban legend status of the FazBear's franchise. At first it was easy money, as he just had to play the part of a security guard. During this time, he scheduled a day for him and Gwendolyn to prepare for the wedding.

However, eventually the staff of FazBear's Fright managed to find an animatronic locked in the back room, known as SpringTrap. Little did they know, it had the corpse of one of ItsSlimeTime's incarnations, William Afton. SpringTrap came to life, unbeknownst to the staff, and once again Bubonic had to fight against SpringTrap to survive.

SpringTrap bodied him at first, and he was barely able to keep SpringTrap from escaping. However, he talked to Pomegranate about how to increase his strength - leaving out the fact that he was Spider-Man, of course. Pomegranate gave him a symbiote that could increase his strength. When Bubonic wore it, however, a side-effect was the aggressive voice whispering in his ear, urging him to fight.

During a battle against an escaped Sinesterio, he almost went too far, and nearly killed Sinesterio. However, at the last minute he resisted the temptation. Thus, he swung over to Fazbear's Fright, ready to face SpringTrap once more.

During their battle, Spider-Man goes off on SpringTrap, and eventually beats him. However, damage caused to the facility during the battle caused the building to catch fire. Due to the weakness of the symbiote to fire and sound, the symbiote fled Bubonic, and while he tried to search for it, he had to leave, since it was time for his hangout with Pieck.

However, the symbiote was left over, and attached itself to SpringTrap. Thus, VenomTrap was born.

During Bubonic and Gwendolyn's wedding, all was calm. That is, until VenomTrap came in. Despite the struggle, VenomTrap managed to land a fatal wound on Uncle Phil. Bubonic held Phil, but Phil ended up dying.

Ribby told Bubonic that Arrokuda could bring back the dead. Arrokuda tried, but Phil's soul was at peace. Thus, he couldn't bring Phil back.

Instead, they both decided to attack VenomTrap together. They'd swear revenge and began preparations. In the meantime, Bubonic began working at Grillby's.

### Bubonic vs the Substandard Six (2028)

Hamburglar was living in his day-to-day life, when he was approached by a man in purple armor. This man being The Lean Goblin. He simply tells Hamburglar that he needs to get back in action to fight Spider-Man, or his family will be in danger. Hamburglar reluctantly accepts.

Sinesterio would attack Grillby's, with Bubonic swinging over to stop Sinesterio. However, Dr. Nye grabbed him and threw him on the ground. Bubonic tried to fight the both of them at the same time, but Sinesterio had electronic interference that screwed with Bubonic's webshooters and Nye's arms are now equipped with gattling guns on each side.

Bubonic was beaten to a pulp, but managed to slip away. He tried to go to Pomegranate's for help, but when he got in he was led to a lab that was secretly a trap. From there, Ratfucker had several giant rat monsters attack Bubonic. This was all too stressful for Bubonic until Pepsiman came and rescued him.

Pepsiman introduced himself, but didn't reveal his identity. Bubonic introduced himself as well, without revealing his own. Pepsiman said that he was inspired by Spider-Man and wanted to protect his own community in Purgatory's Diner.

Bubonic went to his and Gwendolyn's home, only to see the Ratfucker breaking in. Bubonic and Pepsiman fought the Ratfucker, but during the fight Hamburglar showed up. He apologized to Bubonic before attacking him, and while the group was caught up in the fight, Gwendolyn was screaming as she was captured by the Lean Goblin.

Bubonic swung over to try to stop them, but Ratfucker stopped him and The Lean Goblin threw a Lean bomb at them.

Pepsiman managed to get them off Bubonic, and the two regrouped. The suit Walt gave him was badly damaged.

Bubonic saw a drawing he made of his original suit, and he and Pepsiman got to work on remaking the original. They then swung over to where Gwendolyn's iphone was being tracked, only for it to be on Pomegranate's rooftop.

Pomegranate and Gwendolyn were tied up on a table, with Sinesterio at the head. Dr. Nye had his gattling guns aimed at them, and Ratfucker was standing there menacingly.

Bubonic and Pepsiman got to work, attacking them. They managed to take down The Ratfucker, with Sinesterio and Nye proving to be a challenge.

It was then that VenomTrap crawled up and fought them as well. During the fight, Pepsiman was unmasked, to reveal his identity as none other than Saul Goodman! Bubonic thought they were done for, and he blacked out.

When he was awake, he found himself in a grey facility with Saul. Curious George was in front of them, along with Brown Jr.

Bubonic said "Of course you're behind this!", which Junior denied. Junior explained that he merely saw them fighting and rescued them. If he was behind all this, Bubonic would be dead for imprisoning his father and Saul would have a pay cut. It was then that Bubonic learned that Saul served as Brown and Junior's lawyer too, and helped them get out of many sticky situations. Saul chewed Junior out though, explaining that he retired from being their lawyer after Spider-Man showed that there was another way.

It was after he beat the snot out of Brown and got him arrested that Saul realized there could be more to being a vigilante, to saving lives, and pursuing true justice instead of perpetuating the cycle of corruption in this city.

Junior scoffed at this, saying that his father may be in prison but he was still running the entire city from jail, and it doesn't matter whether he's in jail or out. Junior said that he hated Bubonic and Saul, and wants them both dead. However, he also wants the Six out of town, and he can't do that without their help. Thus, he offered a ceasefire until the Substandard Six are gone. Bubonic and Saul didn't have much of a choice so they accepted. Bubonic said that he had some friends who could help too.

Bubonic gathered Walter, Jesse, Pieck and Arrokuda. They put together a plan, with Walter equipping Spidey with combustion webs that explode against Lean and Rat DNA, and Pieck using thunder spears from afar. Arrokuda, meanwhile, will do what he can to fight alongside Bubonic and Saul. Lastly, Junior got Killer Bean, George, new recruit Heavy Team Fortress and a bunch of goons to go after the Six too.

They saw the Six at the Statue of Liberty. They went to fight the Six once and for all.

At first it was working, with Nye putting up a serious fight until Arrokuda used magnets to tear the arms off. Sinisterio was caught in the fire of one of the explosions let off near Ratfucker, which also put him out of the fight.

Bubonic wanted to make sure nobody died, as he wasn't a murderer, but Brown's goons weren't holding back. However, while everyone else was fighting the other villains, Lean Goblin had Gwendolyn dangling above a large drop. Bubonic swung after him and they fought, Bubonic being told via intercom by Walt to use the web explosions but Bubonic knew that Goblin would make Gwendolyn die in the explosion.

Gobby and Spidey fought until Spidey knocked off his mask, to reveal Pomegranate. Pomegranate said "This is for my dad, Spider-Man!" before he let off a bomb knocking Spidey back, which also had web fluid which stuck to Spidey as he was forced to watch as Goblin dropped Gwendolyn. Bubonic broke free and jumped down, using his web to catch her, but it snapped her neck due to the force. Gwendolyn was dead.

Spidey wept, as Pomegranate laughed maniacally. He flew off, with Spidey crying over Gwendolyn's dead body.

The rest of the Substandard Six was sent to prison, with Brown Jr. personally going down to Peter. Instead of paying him respects, Junior decided to try to kill Bubonic while he was low. However, Bubonic used his anger to beat Junior, almost to the point of death but not quite. He swung away, but Walt, Pieck, Arrokuda and Jesse gave him their condolences. Bubonic appreciated it, and the group all stayed together for a while, just giving Bubonic a moment he needed.

At the funeral, Bubonic spoke of Hank and Gwendolyn, about how they were both amazing people who took him in when he needed it.

### Bubonic and the SpiderVerse of Madness (2038)

Bubonic helps out with Arrokuda's battles against the multiversal threats he summoned due to guilt over the Rumbling. However, this created a much greater crack within the multiverse, and soon he was pulled into another world.
This world was similar to his own, except the Spidey he saw was different. It was a small Spider-Man, except his face was that of a rat. He would face off against Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Just as they were about to fight, Bubonic was sent back to his own world.

Confused, he went about his normal day and went back to sleep. During his dream, he saw a version of himself, but with one key difference: He was on Lean. The Lean had an effect on him: His suit was black, purple and green, with spikes on its head. His face, meanwhile, was pale with red lips, a wide smile and a sinister grin. Just as he laughed, Bubonic woke up.

He saw on the news that Spider-Man was out and about. But this wasn't right! Bubonic was Spider-Man! He had to figure this out quick. So, he grabbed his suit and went out. When he found the figure, he went to pursue him, only to discover it was PokeMark!

The suit was also different. It was blue! But why...? When asked, Mark said that he was swinging around his world when he appeared in a new city different than the one he knew. Bubonic put two and two together, figuring out that this only happened after the Arroverse incident. Thus, he went to Arrokuda with Mark.

Along the way, Mark told Bubonic about a dream he had before winding up in this new world. He described a similar dream to Bubonic's, but with one exception: The smiling Bubonic was torturing another Spider-Man.

Disturbed by this, they get to Arrokuda who greets the both of them. With Arrokuda is a woman with long brown hair and a white and black suit. Arrokuda introduces her as Monika, and she describes that she was brought here a few days ago and was brought here by Arro. Arro mentioned that this is the effects of his Arroverse, that it created cracks within the multiverse. Arrokuda admitted that he doesn't quite know how to close the rift, but that if they don't act quickly the world will be exposed to multiversal threats.

Just then, Kanye West enters. He asks if he's in the right place and the other Spider-people said yes. They gave Ye the rundown of the situation, and they decide it's best to introduce themselves. Bubonic gives his story up until this point, and then the rest go.

Monika describe how she was bitten by a radioactive spider during her science lab field trip. She failed to save her friends Yuri, Sayori and Natsuki from Vince McMahon, and thus she dedicated her life to making sure nobody suffers the same fate. Kanye said that he was bitten by a radioactive Grammy, and how his family was killed by The Skete. Thus, he dedicated his life to murdering Skete and also protecting his fans and dropping fire beats. Mark, meanwhile, said that he was bitten by a radioactive Ariados, and lost to PokeJark's Suicune. Thus, he dedicated himself to fighting for justice.

Bubonic then asked about Mark and his dream, about the man in the purple spidersuit. Arrokuda mentioned that this was another timeline out there, and that threats like him could enter this world. This is why it's important to close the timeline gate, to protect not just this world but all others.

Bubonic mentioned that he knew someone who could try to help. He then went to the prison and requested to speak to Dr. Nye. Upon speaking to Nye, he said that the multiverse is a concept very new to modern science. However, what is known is the link between the multiverse and a pathway, a realm connecting every world. Bubonic went back, bidding Nye farewell. Upon speaking to Arrokuda, Arro mentioned that there is indeed a realm known as Paths. Just then, a news report broke out of the Spider-Man in Bubonic's first dream, the small guy, fighting the Ratfucker. This didn't make any sense though, the Ratfucker was in jail!

Bubonic went to intercept, and talked to the Ratfucker. Ratfucker just remembered a dungeon with a large woman, a disgrunted hotel manager, and a few bards. The rat, meanwhile, remembered that he was being experimented upon by Pomegranate when he was injected with lean. He was transformed into Spider-Man, and went on to break his fellow subjects free while escaping Pomegranate. He then introduced himself as Steven.

They then go back home, but before then they're pulled into another world. This world is darker, with city damage everywhere. They see a bunch of Spider-Man Bots marching back and forth on the street. They're pulled into an alley by a young boy. Ratfucker recognized him immediately as one of the bards from his world, and the bard introduced himself as Vereti. They get down through a sewage pipe and see a resistance, led by a version of Joelio!

At Joelio's side is Brown Jr, with a black eye. Vereti told Joelio about how he found them, and Joelio told the group that this was the Resistance against Spider-Man. When the group asked what was going on, they explained that Spider-Man was a hero to the city until they encountered a villain named Sinesterio. He had his friend Bill Nye help, but in the battle Spidey's powers were transferred to Nye. After a battle against Mr. Brown's goons which resulted in Nye's family dying, Nye got revenge. Using Spidey's powers and his intellect, he took down Mr. Brown, and using his brains and power as well as Brown's funds (which Nye stole) he created an army of Spider-Bots to systematically slaughter anyone breaking the rules.

At first there was peace, but Spidey didn't stop. He kept the city in order, but it became a dictatorship. When the military came to help the situation, Nye took them out too, now ruling over the country with an iron fist.

Just then, Bubonic asked what happened to himself. He was told that Bubonic was the founder of this resistance, giving them the motto of "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". However, during a bust, he was slain by the bots.

Bubonic decided to go up and confront Nye. They went up and evaded the Spider-Bots, throwing them into buildings when caught or webbing them up. Eventually they found Nye's head office, where Brown once was. They told Nye that there was no time, they needed to get back to their homeworld, and that a threat to the entire multiverse is coming. Nye refused, believing it to be a con. They battled, with Nye summoning Spider-Bots. Just when all seemed lost, a being was seemingly thrown into the room. It was the man with the purple Spider-suit. Bubonic could see him much more clearly now.

It was Bubonic's face, except contorted into a grin.

Bubonic asked who he was, and the man said that he was 'The Spider who Laughs'. Just then, Bubonic and Nye were brought back to Bubonic's world. They looked around and saw that Vereti was too. However, the Spider Who Laughs, Joelio and Ratfucker were stuck at Nye's timeline. They told Arrokuda about Prime-Nye's hypothesis, and Arro realized that the key to control the multiverse was Paths. His access to Paths was revoked, however, because his abilities as the Founding Titan were revoked. Out of options, Bubonic decided to have Nye talk to the this universe's Nye. They talked to Nye, who was amazed at an alternate reality Nye, but they had limited time to talk. During this time, however, they managed to come up with a formula for creating portals within the timeline, writing it up on the board at the lab.

Before they could begin work, however, they were ambushed by Bully Bubonic, a Bubonic from a timeline where Bubonic found Slime and built the Pratt Gang instead of Ribby. This Bubonic was created from Bubonic's corrupted chopped-off hand. He was also flanked by some Bubonists - his equivalent of Bully Ribby's Ribbyists. During the battle, The Skete showed up, seeing Kanye and fighting him. The others were then thrown into another timeline, Arrokuda included, and Bubonic then realized he was in another reality, once again all by himself.

He went outside to see that everything was destroyed. Everything was flattened, even the flattened corpses of innocents littered the streets. He recognized this scene from all that time ago. This was a world where the Rumbling succeeded.

He used his spider-powers to swing his way over to Paradis Island, as even the water had dried as a result of the Rumbling. He saw a large city, with only one person in it: Instead of Arrokuda, it was a woman dressed similarly to the Spider Who Laughs.

The palace she was in was surrounded by corpses, only Bubonic saw that they were Spider-Men. They were all the Spider-Men from the different universes. And that's when it hit him. He was in the Spider who Laughs's timeline.

The woman introduced herself as Harley Quinn, and said that she met Spider-Man at a meeting with the President, and that she got there because her father was Walter White, creator of the Atomic Bomb. She explained that she was told by Spidey that he was going to save the world and open up the Multiverse. What she didn't expect, however, was that he would wipe out all of humanity via Rumbling in order to do it. That in order to open up the Multiverse and travel through, she would have to help him commit great attrocities.

She told Bubonic that the man she loved had warped into something much darker, but by the time she realized, there was nothing she could do. Bubonic promised to save her, and asked her if she could help him create a portal through Paths to connect between the timelines. That he, with the two Nyes, was able to figure out the formula to crack the Multiverse. She accepted, and they began to work over the course of months.

Throughout this time, Bubonic would receive visions about the Spider Who Laughs. He'd see the Spider Who Laughs massacring different Spider-Men, and then Rumbling their worlds using the Wall Titans of their Paradis. This included the home of Dr. Nye, although he saw The Ratfucker had escaped in time. The Spider who Laughs would sometimes look back, as if he knew Bubonic was seeing him.

Eventually the portal was built, and a passageway to Paths was created. Bubonic and Harley went through, seeing Ymir Fritz - the Founder of the Paths realm. Bubonic and Harley were shown the different worlds in shards, and they spotted the worlds where Spider-Nye, Kanye, Monika, Steven, and Arrokuda were. He went in and got Nye easily. Kanye was in a world where they had to fight an evil version of Ribby, except they were in Minecraft and Ribby was in charge of DaMongols. They managed to take Kanye and escape. Bubonic then went into a world with the Ratfucker, and got him relatively easily. They went to Monika's world where everything was exactly the same except Tupac didn't die. They got her out easily. They got to Steven and had to fight the forces of the Galactic Adrestian Empire - a world where Edelgard and JVVC won World War 2 and went on to take over the world - and later the Galaxy. They escaped with him. Finally, they went to get Arrokuda.

But when they got to Arro, he was on trial. They were in a black and white room, with 4-D shapes and strange geometric patterns. There was a statue of Sal, with 7 smaller statues. Each statue was an Archangel, representing the 7 virtues of Sal. One of these being Isaac.

7 Councilmembers sat at different thrones, at the center being a bearded version of Bubonic who looked to be in his 60s. Next to him on the second largest throne was Pieck, with the others around him being versions of Mark, Ribby, Arrokuda, Pomegranate, and a man named Gummy (Played by Bruce Campbell).

The throned Bubonic stated that the two are being tried by the Court of Men, due to violations of the Sacred Timeline. Before Bubonic could ask for a clarification, Man Pieck told Man Bubonic to let them live, for their actions are required for the Sacred Timeline. Man Pomegranate then told the Court to nuke them. Before they could come to a decision, The Spider who Laughs enters the room. Instantly, Pomegranate jumps toward him, but the SWL easily stabs him with a tendril.

The SWL explains that his source of power is concentrated Lean, from a universe where it's at its strongest, combined with an altered Venom symbiote, one he likes to call Carnage. The SWL explains, while decapitating Man Gummy that Carnage is helping him do what he needs to do, but Bubonic with his experience with symbiotes thinks that perhaps Carnage is controlling the SWL more than he'd like to admit.

Man Arrokuda, Man Ribby and Man Mark try to kill The SWL, but he manages to kill each of them. Arrokuda and Bubonic take the opportunity to leave, watching Man Bubonic and Man Pieck set off a bomb throwing the symbiote off The SWL, before SWL got up and continued fighting them.

Bubonic and Arro got back to the main timeline where they explained everything. Dr. Nye said that the best course of action would be to set traps that involve fire and sound - the weakness of Symbiotes. The Lean would come off with the Symbiote, thus leaving the SWL as just a regular Spider-Man who the others could jump easily.

Steven mentioned, however, that his world was Rumbled when he saw it through Paths. This means that there is no way home for him. Bubonic offered him to perhaps stay with him in this timeline. Then, sure enough, after setting the traps and waiting, the SWL appeared in their timeline. The traps went off, throwing the already-weakened Symbiote - with the Lean - off him. It was contained in a device that constantly emitted high frequency noise - that humans couldn't hear, but Symbiotes could detect.

This left the SWL, who was impressed with their abilities. He told Harley to kill them, but Bubonic convinced her that she 'Wasn't a God, or a Slave, but just a person'. She rejected the SWL, who stated that he wasn't alone.

Then, the Skete, Jark the Hunter, BoneSaw McGraw, The Geico Gecko, Ken Ham, and ItsSludgeTime came out of the portal. The two groups began to fight, with the landscape constantly changing as they kept fighting through the different timelines. Some of these timelines included the minecraft timeline, each main character's timeline, the Evil Dead movie, one where Adam Sandler was performing the Rumbling, one where Mr. Brown was Spider-Man fighting Mr. Bubonic, one where Bubonic was in Genshin Impact, and more. Eventually, they landed in the SWL's homeworld, where Bubonic asked SWL why he was doing what he was doing. SWL answered with his own backstory.

SWL described himself as a 'Nexus Being'. A Nexus Being was a being who was able to - from birth - see into other timelines and view different versions of his own life. This drove SWL mad, and made him try to murder others so that no other timelines could pose a threat to him. He tried to stop the Rumbling, but realized the Rumbling was a keystone event that happened in every timeline at some point. Thus, SWL decided to do it himself, and with the help of Harley, accessed the other timelines. He didn't care for her, but she was useful to his plans.

Bubonic then asked about Carnage, which SWL said that Carnage had no effect on him. Carnage and him were on the same page from day one: They were both deranged killers.

Then, SWL was about to kill Bubonic, when Man Bubonic stabbed SWL. He said that it was to 'avenge the other Man Court members'. However, before he died, SWL stabbed Man Bubonic, the two of them dying. Before he died, the group all shifted back to Bubonic's timeline, where Man Bubonic would tell Bubonic that sometimes, the greatest opportunities are in front of him, and that Bubonic just has to open his eyes.

Just then, Pieck came in to check up on the group, as Bubonic was sitting down in front of the SWL and Man Bubonic, unsure of what to think. Bubonic then looked around to see Pieck, and remembered Man Court Pieck. He hugged her, sobbing after seeing what he just saw. Reiner and Dr. Gamer went in, saw the formula for accessing Paths as well as the dead Bubonic variants. They understood, and were also weirded out by it.

Arrokuda was able to return as well, with Steven, Harley, Vereti, and Ratfucker. They explained that Steven's home got Rumbled, Harley's was already Rumbled to begin with, Vereti saw his own death and wanted to avoid it, and Ratfucker just wanted to get out of his world. Bubonic, Pieck, Reiner and Gamer accepted, with Arrokuda saying that the Multiverse - although patched for now - is now connected, and that this world needs to be ready for any and all multiversal threats.

Bubonic said that he needed to form a group to deal with exactly that.
