You Are a Hero

Rumble!!

On a speeding train, Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man engage in a fierce battle—a clash between a mutated hero and a technological villain.

Spider-Man possesses superhuman physical abilities, keen senses, the ability to crawl despite gravity, and agile movements combined with web attacks, making his combat skills flexible and varied.

Doctor Octopus is no less impressive. His four highly intelligent mechanical tentacles are closely connected to his nerves, granting him multiple visions, allowing him to see in all directions and hear from all sides. Spider-Man's stylish maneuvers pose no threat to him.

Spider-Man -Man, outnumbered, was outmatched in a direct attack and easily countered any sneak attacks from behind. Doctor Octopus, lacking combat experience, couldn't unleash his full potential, resulting in a stalemate where neither could gain the upper hand quickly.

If we really have to say who has the advantage, it should be Doctor Octopus, because he is the villain, and villains are known for using everything they can.

Whoosh!

The cunning Doctor Octopus dodged the Silk projectiles, grabbed two hostages from the train car, and threw them off the overpass, forcing Spider-Man to frantically rescue them.

It has to be said that this tactic was quite effective. Spider-Man was overwhelmed and, after rescuing the two hostages, fearing that Doctor Octopus would continue to use any means necessary, rushed forward and fought with him.

In a two-against-four situation, he was at a disadvantage. Soon, Doctor Octopus grabbed his arms and pinned him in mid-air, unable to move.

"I don't want to be your enemy, but you're in my way!"

Doctor Octopus made a cold statement. A speeding train was approaching, and he smiled cruelly, flinging Spider-Man through the air.

He underestimated Spider-Man's physique. The latter was hit head-on by a speeding train but was completely unharmed and chased after the Silk while hanging on his webs.

"Damn it! What a troublesome guy!"

His patience had run out, Doctor Octopus, enraged, wanted nothing more than to continue the tedious fight. He wasn't a warrior; he preferred to solve problems with his brain.

Watching the speeding train, Doctor Octopus hatched a plan. His four metal tentacles quickly climbed up to the top of the driver's cab, violently smashed the windshield, pushed the control lever forward to increase the train's speed to the maximum, and then forcibly pulled the control lever off.

"Good luck, Spider-Man!" With that, Doctor Octopus jumped off the train and left.

Spider-Man arrived a step too late, caught the control stick thrown to him, and looked down into the cockpit, which was already in complete chaos.

The brakes failed, and the train was moving at full speed and could not stop!

Spider-Man Parker removes his damaged mask, and his enhanced senses allow him to clearly see the end of the tracks— the East River, New York. If the train doesn't stop, everyone will die.

In this critical situation, Parker didn't have time to think. He jumped in front of the train, landing half his body on the sleepers, trying to use his strong physique to help the train stop.

Rather than saying his physical abilities are amazing, it's more accurate to say his mind is amazing. Using a foot brake to stop a high-speed train is something that most superheroes wouldn't think of.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—

One by one, the sleepers broke. Parker pulled back his feet and jumped onto the train, his face ashen. He didn't say a word, but just clutched his knee and frantically rubbed it.

If Plan A doesn't work, then Plan B will do. He took a deep breath and held it in his chest, then raised his hand and spat Silk at the tall buildings on both sides.

Dozens of Silk clung tightly to the wall, with the other end held firmly in Parker's hand. As the train moved, the Silk stretched and lengthened, making the high-speed train seem to slow down slightly.

Parker gripped the Silk tightly. He didn't know if the plan would succeed, but it was the only way he could think of. The Silk in his hand represented the lives of everyone in the car, and he couldn't let go no matter what.

Sizzle!

The Silk reached its limit of elasticity, and several Silk broke under the pressure. Parker's muscles tensed, and the muscles in his arms burst through his tight-fitting uniform. The powerful force seemed to rip his arms off his torso.

He can't hold on much longer!

"The speed has slowed down!"

Just as he was about to give up, Parker heard the train conductor's exclamation. Summoning strength from somewhere, he clenched his fists tightly once more. The Silk rubbed against his palms, drawing blood. The torn muscles made him cry out in pain, but his grip tightened even further.

At this moment, he had no strength left. The source of his strength was something called belief.

"Ah..."

The train veered off the tracks, with half of its carriage protruding beyond the elevated structure. It was brought to a close by Parker's desperate efforts.

He gave his life to brake!

When the train came to a stop, Parker, who had been holding his breath the whole time, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Every nerve in his body was sending pain to his brain, and as a way to protect himself, he successfully passed out.

A large hand reached out from behind and caught the unconscious body falling from the overhead railing. One by one, passengers raised their hands to pass the body to their hero, who had risked his life to save them, into the carriage and finally gently placed him on the floor.

"He's very young!"

"Yes, my son is about that age..."

"..."

Upon seeing the superhero's face for the first time, the passengers were both shocked and impressed, and subjected the unconscious Parker to a brutal and inhumane staring.

Russell put away his trident, picked up the Spider-Man mask he'd found, and squeezed into the crowd to join the onlookers. He knew the East River, New York all too well; he'd successfully shown off on it many times, so he was a little disappointed that he hadn't succeeded this time.

But you have to admit it, after all, he used props to show off, while the other guy used his life.

Boom!

A loud bang interrupted the onlookers, and the long-awaited Doctor Octopus appeared, tearing open the car door with two mechanical metal tentacles and swaggering in.

"Get out of my way, he's mine!"

The onlookers were stunned, and they all shuddered at the sight of the vicious villain. At that moment, a male passenger at the front stepped out and blocked Doctor Octopus.

"Sure, but you have to get past me first."

"Me too!"

"Me too..."

"..."

One by one, passengers spontaneously stepped forward to protect their hero. Russell glanced at the trembling but tough-guy Black man beside him and followed suit.

"Me too!"

Doctor Octopus glanced at the passengers blocking his way, grinned, and extended two tentacles from his back, flipping the passengers to the sides and forcibly opening a passage.

At the end of the road, Russell looked bewildered. His position was fine, so why wasn't he the only one who wasn't torn apart by the mechanical tentacles?

Luck, or good looks?

"Kid, do you know what price you pay for being a hero?" Doctor Octopus looked at Russell, a sharp blade shooting out from one of his tentacles, and threateningly grinned.

Russell thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "This issue cannot be generalized. When the weak try to stand up for themselves, they will only cause trouble for themselves, but when the strong do so, they can win a good citizen award."

"Heh, you're a strong person?"

"I think it's alright, probably better than you..." Under the passengers' stunned gazes, Russell calmly said, "After all, you know nothing about power."

Clang!

As the sharp metal blade pierced down, Russell's half-closed eyes held a sinister murderous intent.

Just then, the unconscious Parker suddenly sprang up and lunged forward, deflecting the metal tentacles and successfully protecting a life that was tragically killed.

"Peter Parker!!!"

The familiar face greatly surprised Doctor Octopus. Spider-Man, whom he regarded as his mortal enemy, turned out to be a promising junior in academia.

This world is so small!

"Let them go, and I'll do whatever you want with me..."

Knowing he was exhausted, Parker gave up struggling. After speaking to Doctor Octopus, he took the mask from Russell and slowly put it on his head.

"Dude, you're a hero!" Parker patted Russell on the shoulder and spoke solemnly as Spider-Man.

Russell: "..."

I'm so touched! Finally, someone who recognizes his worth has come to me. Everyone else said he was the villain!
