W.E.B. Workshop

**W.E.B. Workshop** is the name for a location from *Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure*.

## Description

The W.E.B. Workshop is a building in *Avengers Campus California* which serves as the American base for the *Worldwide Engineering Brigade*. The building was constructed from an old base for *Stark Motors* and the *Geffen-Meyer Chemicals* company, located in Orange, California. The building was used for experimental engineering and other sciences with much of the technology being connected to WEB's artificial-intelligence, S.H.A.R.I.N..

The building was also located within some distance of a rollercoaster, visible from the rooftop. Across from the building was, "WEB Suppliers", an additional outpost and shop for the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, made from an old *AccuTech* base.

## History

### Stark Industries Complex

The building was originally constructed to serve the Stark Industries subsidiaries, Stark Motors and Geffen-Meyer Chemicals in the 1950s. Here, Stark Motors and company founder Howard Stark attempted to create the flying-car, the *Maneuverable Aeronautic Repulsion Integrated Automobile* or M.A.R.I.A. while *Geffen-Meyer* experimented with dangerous gamma radiation. The outside of the building was used for parking by Howard, his butler Edwin Jarvis, and affiliate Peggy Carter from the *Strategic Scientific Reserve*.

### Avengers Campus

In 2019, Howard's son Tony Stark turned the Stark Industrial Complex into *Avengers Campus California*. This building was given to the Worldwide Engineering Brigade which was supplied with Vibranium from Wakanda, alien matter recovered by the Department of Damage Control, and Pym Particles from Hank Pym's company PYM Technologies. The Pym Tech was seemingly negotiated via Pym's successor as Ant-Man, Scott Lang.

#### Open House Incident

At an open house intended to show off the Spider-Bots, the Spider-Bots replicated out of control and began replicating throughout Avengers Campus which they threatened to destroy. Peter switched into his Spider-Man costume and alongside *S.H.A.R.I.N.*, enlisted guests of the open-house to board Web-Slingers and assist him in stopping the robots from destroying the campus.

Peter lead the Web-Slingers through Avengers Campus' underground utilidoors to stop the Spider-Bots. This took them into the PYM Tech lab base, Collector's Fortress, and Avengers Quinjet hangar while leaving a trail of webs and robot parts wherever they went. Ultimately, Spider-Man was successful but had to clean up the mess with other Spider-Bots, and tried hiding the event from Iron Man.

## Trivia

* During the Spider-Man stunt-show, Spider-Man mentions being able to see, "The Rollercoaster"; referring to the IncrediCoaster of Pixar Pier. This might imply the campus is located geographically near the Pixar Pier/Paradise Pier.
* Several members of WEB in the comics are members of *The Champions*, a team of young-adult superheroes who became disaffected with their older counterparts and decided to form their own team.
* At Peter Parker's station is the Luxo, Jr. lamp from the Pixar short *Luxo Jr.*.
* WEB member Grisol Ramirez and her affiliation with WALL-E is a tribute to the late imagineer of the same name.
* A photograph in the board shows the Stark Expo and building for the Iron Man Experience.
* The Time Clock is set to the time, "6:16". This is a reference to Earth 616, the main reality of the Marvel Comics universe.
* The crane atop the building was used in A Bug's Land to move Heimlich's Chew Chew Train.
* The facility's usage of Gamma radiation is a reference to the Hulk franchise. The Negative Zone which they experimented with is a location from Fantastic Four comics that serves as the realm of Annihilus.
