## History

### Background

It all started with a man named Norman Osborn, CEO and Founder of Oscorp which was the company that had the radioactive spider that turned Peter Parker into Spider-Man. After a year of Peter being Spider-Man, Norman decided to replicate and weaponize his powers to create an army of Spider Super Soldiers to sell to the highest bidder. With help from Oscorp's best scientist, Otto Octavius who Norman made into Doctor Octopus after he suffered a horrible lab accident then kept him hidden in a secret lab under the ocean. First, they hired the Frightful Four which consisted of Wizard, Thundra, Klaw, and Trapster to capture Spider-Man but they were defeated by Spider-Man with help from his new S.H.I.E.L.D. team which consisted of White Tiger, Iron Fist, Power Man, and Nova. Next, they used an Octobot to get some of Spider-Man's blood and used it to create the Venom Symbiote to use as a weaponized armor but it escaped and attacked Spider-Man and his team so it could get to Spider-Man which turned him into Venom. Spider-Man and his team were able to destroy the Venom Symbiote but some of it survived and was found by Norman's son and Spider-Man's best friend, Harry Osborn. Norman also ordered Doctor Octopus to make a new and improved version of the Venom Symbiote so Doctor Octopus hired Taskmaster to capture Spider-Man at Midtown High but he was defeated by Spider-Man and White Tiger. Harry then tried to control the Venom Symbiote to become a hero in the form of a Black Suit Spider-Man as a way to impress Norman but it was starting to take over him and make him act aggressively around others. Eventually, it overwhelmed Harry and transformed him into Venom then he tried to attack Norman until Spider-Man destroyed the Venom Symbiote using electricity which saved Harry but Doctor Octopus found out about Harry being Venom which he kept secret from Norman. However, some of the Venom Symbiote still existed within Harry and transformed him back into Venom who rampaged through New York City to try and attack Norman, he even transformed right in front of Norman. But Spider-Man and his team were able to save Harry using an Anti-Venom antidote that Spider-Man made from a sample of the Venom Symbiote that White Tiger got but Norman got some of Harry's Venom-infused blood and gave it to Doctor Octopus for further study. But when Norman threatened Doctor Octopus' job after his last plan to capture Spider-Man using Whirlwind failed. Doctor Octopus went to capture Spider-Man himself and after he did, Doctor Octopus took him to his lab and tried to dissect Spider-Man for the source of his powers. But Spider-Man was able to escape and fought off Doctor Octopus but then Norman fired Doctor Octopus and destroyed his lab by flooding the whole place with water to stop Spider-Man from finding out his plans but Spider-Man was able to save Doctor Octopus after he called Nick Fury to save himself. Doctor Octopus later tried to get revenge on Norman by using Iron Man's armor technology but Spider-Man stopped him with help from his own Iron Spider suit that Iron Man made for him and Iron Man himself. However, Norman found Doctor Octopus before S.H.I.E.L.D. could take him into custody and rehired him. Then one day, Norman and Doctor Octopus captured Spider-Man with help from the Frightful Four along with some Octobots and took him to another secret lad underneath Oscorp. Doctor Octopus then took another sample of Spider-Man's blood and combined it with a sample of the Venom Symbiote to create a special serum. Spider-Man was able to escape and beat both Doctor Octopus and his Octobots but was then attacked by Norman using high-tech armor weapons who revealed to Spider-Man about his actions in trying to destroy him and replicate his powers. However, before Norman could unmask Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus betrayed Norman and injected him with the serum which mutated Norman into a huge green monster known as the Green Goblin just as Spider-Man's team arrived to save Spider-Man after following one of the Octobots from the fight with the Frightful Four. Doctor Octopus tried to control Green Golbin using a shock collar to get revenge on him for all the pain he got back when Green Goblin was Norman but the serum drove Green Goblin insane who broke free from the collar and mindlessly attacked Spider-Man, his team, and Doctor Octopus until he escaped.

Spider-Man tried to find Green Goblin alone for three days but couldn't find him until Green Goblin attacked Midtown High just to get to Harry. Spider-Man tried to help the Green Goblin and get Harry to safety with help from his team who decided to help him out along with S.H.I.E.L.D. They managed to get Harry back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier but Green Goblin attacked it using a stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. jet after becoming more smarter and began talking more clearly. Green Golbin even revealed to Harry how Spider-Man's DNA was responsible for his mutation which caused Harry to get angry at Spider-Man. After Harry was taken to safety by some S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, Spider-Man, and his team tried to fight off Green Goblin but he stole some high-tech weapons from Dr. Connors and caused the Helicarrier to fall into the ocean. During which, Green Goblin made Harry become Venom again while Spider-Man tried fighting both him and Green Goblin off but then Harry freed himself from the Venom Symbiote while Green Goblin took a portion of it so he could give it to someone worthy of it then he escaped from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier. Everyone managed to fully evacuate the Helicarrier just in time before it was destroyed and sank completely into the ocean including Spider-Man. But in the chaos, the Helicarrier was gone so a new one had to be built called the Tri-Carrier which resulted in Spider-Man's team having to live with him and his Aunt May for a while and it also caused Harry to hate Spider-Man and blame him for Norman becoming Green Goblin. Then one day, Green Goblin captured Peter, took him to his secret lab, and injected him with the Venom Symbiote which transformed him into Carnage. Carnage then attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. and his team at Oscorp until Harry saved him by letting the Venom Symbiote take him instead which transformed him back into Venom. Venom then tried to kill Green Goblin himself but Spider-Man was able to get him to stop by talking to Harry as Peter and was also able to hide his identity as Spider-Man from Harry with help from Iron Fist. Harry was then able to free himself from the Venom Symbiote which was later taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody but Green Goblin escaped again. Green Goblin later let himself himself get captured by Spider-Man and his team who took him into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody who were going to place him in solitary confinement on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Moon base. Green Goblin then released a newly created Venom Symbiote onto the Tri-Carrier which combined with the original Venom Symbiote S.H.I.E.L.D. had captured and caused a Venom outbreak that bonded to all the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff including Nick Fury who was able to disengage the Astrocarrier from it into space. The Venom S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents then freed Green Goblin who was able to control them and tried to get revenge on Doctor Octopus for betraying him but Spider-Man was able to save Doctor Octopus, fight off the Venom S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and the Green Goblin using his Iron Spider armor, and then with reluctant help from Doctor Octopus was able to make an Anti-Venom cure to stop the Venom Symbiotes after some of them bonded to Green Goblin. After the cure was used on Green Goblin it was later spread throughout the Astrocarrier through the ventilation system which cured all S.H.I.E.L.D. staff and even turned Green Goblin back into Norman Osborn but Doctor Octopus escaped on an escape pod after the Venom Symbiotes combined into each other which Spider-Man was able to defeat by shooting them all out the airlock and into space.

After Norman was nursed back to health from his transformation, he tried to make up for his mistakes by becoming a hero named Iron Patriot and eventually got Harry to let go of his hatred against Spider-Man after they both fought off against Doctor Octopus and his Spider-Soldiers made from the Venom Symbiote. But Doctor Octopus was able to steal some data on Norman's Iron Patriot armor tech and used it to upgrade his team, the Sinister Six during a prison break. Iron Patriot, Spider-Man, and his team all worked together to defeat the Sinister Six but during the fight, Spider-Man's team got defeated, and Doctor Octopus was able to use the Goblin Serum to mutate Norman back into the Green Goblin. But Green Goblin helped Spider-Man defeat the Sinister Six and then stole all the Goblin Serum Doctor Octopus had. Green Goblin then later captured Spider-Man's team, took them to the old S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in the ocean which he turned into his lair, and used the Goblin Serum to mutate them into Goblins too after converting it into a gas. Green Goblin tried to use the Goblin Gas to mutate the whole world into Goblins by launching them as missiles but S.H.I.E.L.D. stopped the missiles and Spider-Man was able to cure his team by using a special antidote Dr. Connors made after being cured of being the Lizard. Together they fought off Green Goblin who then tried to mutate everyone in New York City into Goblins but Spider-Man defeated him and he was later taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody but he was now more Goblin than Human. However, Green Goblin came up with another plan to escape S.H.I.E.L.D. custody by hiring Taskmaster to break him out by recruiting a team of young superheroes which Taskmaster stole from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s list of possible trainee recruits. This led to the Skirmish on the Tri-Carrier where Green Goblin escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody with a powerful magical artifact called the Siege Perilous which had the power to open portals throughout time and space.

### The Battle

Spider-Man is able to track down Green Goblin to his S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier lair in the ocean and after sneaking past the Helicarrier's defenses, Spider-Man finds out that Green Goblin is planning to travel to different Parallel Universes with different versions of Spider-Man using the Siege Perilous. He also informs Electro of his plan but he refuses to help because he doesn't want to deal with the different versions of Spider-Man until Green Goblin imprisons Electro inside the Siege Perilous. That way, Green Goblin can use Electro to power it up so he can go to those Parallel Universes to collect the DNA from the different versions of Spider-Man for something special. After Green Goblin opens a portal to one of the parallel Universe using the Siege Perilous, Spider-Man confronts Green Goblin to try and stop him but in the process they both go through the portal. As they both travel through the Parallel Universe, Spider-Man fights off Green Goblin with help from each of the different versions of himself from those Universe while at the same time helping them out with their problems and making a difference in all of their lives. First, Spider-Man arrives at a futuristic Universe in the year 2099 where he helps Spider-Man 2099 regain the confidence to continue fighting as Spider-Man. Next, Spider-Man arrives at a gender-swap Universe where he helps Spider-Girl fight off her version of Green Goblin who has teamed up with Spider-Man's Green Goblin and later mutates using his Goblin Serum. Later, Spider-Man arrives at a noir-themed Universe in the 1930s where he helps Spider-Man Noir renew his friendship with his version of Mary Jane. Then Spider-Man goes to an animal cartoon Universe where he helps Peter Porker regain the will to be Spider-Ham again. After that, Spider-Man goes to a medieval-themed Universe where helps Spyder-Knight fight off his version of Doctor Octopus. Finally, Spider-Man goes to a Universe where a kid named Miles Morales is the Ultimate Spider-Man where Spider-Man helps him overcome his guilt over not being able to save his version of Spider-Man who died trying to save the world, and helps him fight off his version of Green Goblin who is more demonic and has fire powers. But despite Spider-Man's best efforts to stop Green Goblin across the Parallel Universes, Green Goblin is able to collect the DNA samples from all the different versions of Spider-Man using a bat-drone. Then after both Spider-Man and Green Goblin return back to their own Universe, Spider-Man returns to Green Goblin's Helicarrier lair where Green Goblin injects himself with all the Spider-Man DNA he collected using a special machine he built powered by Siege Perilous with Electro still inside it. Spider-Man manages to sabotage the machine which causes it to explode but Green Goblin is able to gain the powers of all the different versions of Spider-Man and even finds out Spider-Man's identity as Peter Parker. Spider-Man fights off Green Goblin throughout the Helicarrier but during the fight, Green Goblin starts to threaten those close to Spider-Man like Aunt May and Harry. But then the DNA from the different versions of Spider-Man overwhelms Green Goblin and mutates him into Spider-Goblin who attacks Spider-Man using acid spit. But Spider-Man finds the Siege Perilous and uses it to summon all the different versions of Spider-Man with help from Electro and they all team up to stop Spider-Goblin as the Web Warriors. They all fight off Spider-Goblin and are able to subdue him but when he starts giving off electricity, Spider-Man has Electro inside the Siege Perilous cure Spider-Goblin of the Spider-Man DNA which also cures him of the Goblin Serum thus turning Spider-Goblin back into Norman again. However, this also frees Electro from the Siege Perilous who now has its power which he uses to take over the Helicarrier and transform it into a giant robot which he uses to attack both the Web Warriors and New York City. After the Web Warriors escape the Helicarrier during its transformation, Spider-Man doesn't know how to stop Electro until the other Web Warriors help get his confidence back after reminding him of how he helped make a difference in their lives. So the Web Warriors take Norman to a hospital and go to try and stop Electro from attacking the city by tying him up with their webs but Electro breaks free and attacks them with missiles but the Web Warriors are able to take out his weapons. However, Electro soon starts to go mad with the power of the Siege Perilous and then flies up to the top of the Empire State Building to self-destruct the Helicarrier and destroy the whole city by setting the Helicarrier's engines into overload. So most of the Web Warriors try to distract him while Spider-Girl and Spider-Ham try to defuse the Helicarrier before it self-destructs then Spider-Man is able to defeat Electro and take away his power by sending it all into the ground. However, Spider-Girl and Spider-Ham could not stop the self-destruct sequence so instead they blast the Helicarrier up into space where it explodes at a safe distance away from the city. Spider-Man then uses the remaining power of the Siege Perilous to send all the Web Warriors back to their Universes.

### Aftermath

Norman then recovers and has lost all memory as the Green Goblin as well as Spider-Man's identity while Electro is taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. After Norman regains his memories, he creates a Goblin Vaccine to prevent himself from becoming the Green Goblin ever again. However, an evil sorcerer named Baron Mordo tried to use the Siege Perilous to bring Ultimate Green Goblin from Ultimate Spider-Man's Universe under orders from Doctor Octopus who was now working for HYDRA. But with help from Doctor Strange, Spider-Man was able to use the Siege Perilous to get Ultimate Spider-Man to help fight off Ultimate Green Goblin but during the fight, Ultimate Green Goblin starts tearing the Universe apart with the Siege Perilous. Forcing both Spider-Mans to destroy the Siege Perilous in order to save the Universe but in the process, both Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Green Goblin get stranded in Spider-Man's Universe. So Ultimate Spider-Man joins Spider-Man's new team of Web Warriors under the name, Kid Arachnid while Ultimate Green Goblin joins Doctor Octopus' Sinister Six until he is defeated during the Attack on the Triskelion. However, as a result of both Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid destroying the Siege Perilous the fragments of it were sent to other Parallel Universes and were starting to pull themselves together which in the process was causing dimensional shifts between the Parallel Universes that could destroy all of reality. So Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid travel to Kun-Lun to deal with it by orders of Nick Fury and with help from both Doctor Strange and Agent Web. To do that, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid travel to Parallel Universes to find the fragments of the Siege Perilous using a fragment that Nick Fury found while at the same time helping other different versions of Spider-Man. First, they go to a Victorian Era-themed Universe where they help Blood Spider save his team and Earth from Vampires led by his version of the Lizard. Next, they go to a pirate cartoon Universe where they help Web Beard make up with his pirate crew and find treasure. Later, they go to an Old West-themed Universe where they help Webslinger fight off his version of Doctor Octopus. Then they go back to the noir-themed Universe where they help Spider-Man Noir team up with his version of the Hulk to fight off both Hammerhead and Mr. Negative. But during their travels, they come across a guy named Wolf Spider who is also after the fragments of the Siege Perilous and has spider powers too. When they arrive back in Kid Arachnid's' Universe, they are able to get all the fragments that Wolf Spider took to reform the Siege Perilous with help from Spider-Woman and Kid Arachnid's version of Aunt May. But then Wolf Spider attacks them at Kid Arachnid's apartment, steals back the Siege Perilous, and reveals to them that he is an evil version of Spider-Man and has been trying to get the fragments of the Siege Perilous after one of them appeared in his Universe to try and destroy all the other Universes so that he will be the only Spider-Man in existence. After escaping to a secret underwater lair, Wolf Spider drains the lifeforce from all the Spider-Mans in existence using the Siege Perilous to become more powerful. But when Spider-Man lets Wolf Spider drain his lifeforce, he convinces to other Spider-Mans to fight back against Wolf Spider. As a result, their good nature poisons Wolf Spider and destroys him thus saving the other Universes and all of reality in the process. After that, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid use the Siege Perilous to return back to Spider-Man's Universe where Kid Arachnid decides to stay with his mother, Rio Morales joining them.
