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 back in middle school was Spider-Man.
Meng Zu began recalling those distant memories. He had watched the Spider-Man trilogy at least ten times combined on TV and online. He remembered that in Spider-Man 1, Peter Parker had fought in a boxing match for three thousand dollars, dressed much like this.
After seeing Tony Stark on television, Meng Zu had assumed that if this world had a Spider-Man, it would probably be Holland. Now, it seemed that this world's Spider-Man was Tobey Maguire's version.
He had watched the three different versions of Spider-Man starring 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 most 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 that version of Spider-Man. But now that he was in this Marvel universe, he would inevitably deal with other superheroes in the future. This version of Spider-Man 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 beat this Spider-Man.
And Meng Zu wondered whether this Maguire version of Peter would still acknowledge Tony as his godfather like Holland's version had. Looking at the restless figure, Meng Zu's thoughts drifted farther and farther away.
Peter, standing in the arena, turned and said to the staff member in dissatisfaction, "It's the Human Spider. He got the name wrong."
"Enough. Get in there already!" the staff member said impatiently, shoving Peter.
Seeing that Peter had the same build as an ordinary person, the surrounding audience all booed at him as he walked toward the ring.
The three hot girls beside Juggernaut stepped forward and gathered around Peter, mocking him.
"Juggernaut's going to show you what's what."
"You'd better not beg for mercy."
"We'll stop the railing you tear down. Go cry to someone else."
Peter: ( ̄ー ̄)
Hearing the three girls, Peter was not only not angry, but even felt like laughing. What a joke. Do they still think I'm the old me? That big guy... I could take ten of him... no, probably three.
A young audience member 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 sight of the contestant's miserable state gave Peter, who was still in school, quite a fright.
The audience could also see that Peter had clearly been scared. One after another, they shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill him!"
After Peter stepped into the ring, the iron cage above it slowly descended. Seeing this, the audience shouted even more enthusiastically.
The host held up a microphone and said, "All right, now let's have the guards lock up the cage!"
"Hey! There's been a mistake!" 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 off the chain!" Peter shouted at the departing guards.
"Little freak, don't even think about running!" Juggernaut shouted at Peter.
Seeing Peter turn to look at him, Juggernaut raised three fingers and said disdainfully, "I'm going to have a good three minutes of fun with you!"
"Don't be scared. It's only three minutes. It'll be over soon," Juggernaut said, making ridiculous gestures at Peter.
As the bell rang, Juggernaut let out strange cries and charged fiercely at Peter. Seeing Peter standing still, Juggernaut sneered inwardly. A weakling like this will go down the moment I ram him.
Just as Juggernaut was about to crash into Peter, Peter suddenly leaped straight up onto the iron cage nearly four meters above. Juggernaut failed to react in time and slammed directly into the cage. The rebound sent him sprawling to the ground.
Seeing Peter's move, Meng Zu evaluated him inwardly. His reaction speed is very fast. He jumped nearly four meters high so easily and casually!
At the very least, Meng Zu could not jump four meters straight up as effortlessly as Peter had.
Juggernaut got to his feet and looked at Peter clinging to the high iron cage. Somewhat angrily, he pointed at him and said, "What are you doing up there?"
Peter looked down at Juggernaut and said, "Obviously, getting far away from you!"
Realizing Juggernaut could not reach him, Peter could not help running his mouth. "Your outfit is cute. Did your husband make it for you?"
Juggernaut immediately felt humiliated. He backed up several steps, turned sideways, and charged at the iron cage. Just before he hit it, Peter flipped down from the cage and landed three meters behind Juggernaut.
Thud!
After crashing into the cage, Juggernaut realized 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 threw a folded metal chair to Juggernaut.
Juggernaut swung the metal chair at Peter, but Peter dodged every strike.
Peter had already realized the gap between Juggernaut and himself, and he felt like toying with him a little. As long as he lasted three minutes, he could get the three thousand dollars.
"Close, so close. Oh, that one almost hit me!" Every time Peter dodged one of Juggernaut's attacks, he could not help sarcastically taunting him.
This made Juggernaut even angrier. "You jumping little bug, if I catch you, I'll smash your legs!"
Looking at Juggernaut like this, Peter immediately thought of a phrase: impotent rage.
Still unable to hit him, Juggernaut watched Peter dodge again and again. Peter grew increasingly relaxed, but when he jumped onto the edge of the ring, two hot girls reached up from below and grabbed his legs.
Juggernaut's eyes instantly lit up. Taking advantage of Peter being caught, he slammed the chair into Peter's back, knocking him straight to the ground.
Juggernaut pressed his advantage, striking Peter's back again and again with the chair, knocking Peter down every time he tried to get up.
Why isn't he fighting back? Even if he's already been bitten by a mutated spider and his physical abilities have improved, even if he won't be injured from this, it still has to hurt. Could Peter have masochistic tendencies? Watching Peter Parker get beaten without being able to fight back, Meng Zu could not help letting his imagination run wild.
