Meng Zu recognized the masked man as Spider-Man at a glance because, before he had crossed into this world, the first Marvel superhero movie he had watched in middle school had been Spider-Man.
Meng Zu began recalling those distant memories. He had watched the Spider-Man trilogy at least ten times between television and the internet. He remembered that in Spider-Man 1, Peter Parker had fought in a boxing match for $3,000, dressed much like this.
After seeing Tony Stark on television, Meng Zu had assumed that if this world had a Spider-Man, he would probably be Holland. It seemed that this world's Spider-Man was Tobey Maguire's version.
He had watched the three different versions of Spider-Man—Maguire, Garfield, and Holland—but after comparing them, he still liked Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy the most.
Although Maguire's Spider-Man deviated the furthest from the original comics, it was also considered by everyone to be the most classic.
Because of copyright issues, no other superheroes had appeared in this version of Spider-Man. But now that he had appeared in this Marvel universe, he would inevitably have dealings with other superheroes in the future. This version was also the strongest Spider-Man. If the Civil War from Captain America 3 still happened in this Marvel universe, Meng Zu wondered whether Captain America could defeat this Spider-Man.
He also wondered whether this Maguire version of Peter would recognize Tony as his godfather like Holland's version had. Watching that restless figure, Meng Zu's thoughts drifted further and further away.
Peter turned around unhappily and said to the staff, "It's Human Spider. He got my name wrong."
"Enough, get in there already!" The staff member impatiently shoved Peter.
Seeing that Peter had an ordinary person's build, the surrounding audience all booed at him as he walked toward the ring.
The three hot girls beside Juggernaut stepped forward and surrounded Peter, mocking him.
"Juggernaut will show you what he can do."
"You'd better not beg for mercy."
"We'll tear you apart. You can go find someone else to cry to."
Peter: ( ̄ー ̄)
Hearing the three girls, Peter was not only unafraid but even felt like laughing. What a joke. Do they still think I'm the old me? With that big body of his, I could take on ten of him... probably three, anyway.
A young spectator angrily threw the popcorn in his hand at Peter.
Peter: (〝▼皿▼)
Kid, if there weren't so many people here, I'd definitely have a match with you.
At that moment, the previous contestant was carried past Peter on a stretcher. The man shouted at Peter, "Oh my God, I can't feel my legs!"
That brutal?
The miserable state of the contestant frightened Peter, who was still in school.
The audience could tell that Peter was clearly a little scared, and they all shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill him!"
Once Peter stepped into the ring, the iron cage above it slowly descended. Seeing this, the audience shouted even more excitedly.
The host held a microphone and said, "All right, now let's have the guards lock up the cage!"
"Hey! You got it wrong!" Peter hurriedly leaned against the ropes and said to the guards, "I didn't sign up for cage fighting."
But the guards ignored him completely. After locking the chain, they turned and left.
"Hey, don't go! Open the door! Take the chain off!" Peter shouted at the departing guards.
"Little freak, don't even think about running!" Juggernaut shouted at Peter.
When Peter turned to look at him, Juggernaut raised three fingers and said disdainfully, "I'm going to have a good time with you for three whole minutes!"
"Don't be afraid. It's only three minutes—it'll be over soon." Juggernaut made a ridiculous gesture at Peter.
As the bell rang, Juggernaut charged fiercely at Peter with a strange roar. Seeing Peter standing there without moving, Juggernaut sneered inwardly. A weakling like this will go down the moment I ram into him.
Just as Juggernaut was about to crash into Peter, Peter suddenly leaped straight up and jumped onto the high iron cage. Juggernaut failed to react in time and slammed directly into the cage. The rebound sent him tumbling to the ground.
Seeing Peter's movement, Meng Zu evaluated inwardly, His reaction speed is very fast. He casually jumped almost four meters into the air!
At the very least, Meng Zu could not jump four meters straight up as casually as Peter had.
Juggernaut got back up and looked at Peter clinging to the high cage. Somewhat angrily, he pointed at him and said, "What are you doing up there?"
Peter looked down at Juggernaut and said, "Obviously, getting as far away from you as possible!"
Realizing Juggernaut could not reach him, Peter could not help running his mouth. "Your outfit is adorable. Did your husband make it for you?"
Juggernaut immediately felt humiliated. He took several steps back, turned sideways, and charged into the cage. Just as he was about to hit it, Peter flipped down from the cage and landed three meters behind Juggernaut.
Thud!
After crashing into the cage, Juggernaut found that Peter had already jumped down. He turned around and roared as he lunged at Peter, but Peter flipped from in front of him to behind him again.
"Finish him!" One of the hot girls tossed a folded metal chair to Juggernaut.
Juggernaut swung the metal chair at Peter, but Peter dodged every single strike.
Peter had already discovered the gap between Juggernaut and himself, and he felt like playing with him a little. As long as he lasted three minutes, he could get $3,000.
"So close, still so close. Oh, that one almost hit me!" Every time Peter dodged one of Juggernaut's attacks, he could not help taunting him.
This made Juggernaut even angrier. "You jumping little bug, if I catch you, I'll smash your legs!"
Seeing Juggernaut like this, Peter immediately thought of a phrase—impotent rage.
Still unable to hit him, Juggernaut watched Peter dodge again and again, and Peter gradually let his guard down. Then, as he jumped near the edge of the ring, two hot girls reached up from below and grabbed his legs.
Juggernaut's eyes lit up instantly. Taking advantage of Peter being caught, he smashed the chair into Peter's back, knocking him to the ground.
Juggernaut pressed his advantage, striking Peter's back again and again with the chair and repeatedly knocking down Peter whenever he tried to get up.
Why isn't he fighting back? Even if he was bitten by a mutated spider and his physical abilities have improved, even if this won't injure him, it still has to hurt. Could Peter have masochistic tendencies? Watching Peter Parker get beaten without being able to retaliate, Meng Zu could not help letting his imagination run wild.
