Chapter 57: Spider-Man's Underground Base

It looks like an inconspicuous cabin. Almost every house has one like this to store lawnmowers and sundries.

But in fact, this is just a facade used to deceive others. 

Peter stood in front of the cabin, reached for the lock, and slightly pointed the keyhole towards his eyes.

There are two ways to enter - himself, or with a key.

The key is usually left with Aunt May. 

The blond Spider-Man is here himself, so he doesn't need a key.

A ray of light was released from the keyhole, shining on his pupils. 

"Open up," Peter whispered.

"Fingerprint recognition passed."

"Retina scan passed."

"Voice print matched."

Several identification measures popped up in sequence, unlocking the high-tech code lock built into the keyhole one by one.

Then, the wooden door transformed into a cool high-tech blast door, opening with a flash of a giant spider emblem.

Peter walked in. 

Inside the cabin was an elevator that descended deep underground, where the blond Spider-Man's private base was located.

As the elevator went down, more and more memory fragments emerged in Peter's mind. (After reading the background introduction of this universe, it is different from the Ultimate Spider-Man animation and comics. It is a universe based on Sony's own Spider-Man-related stories, such as his upside-down kiss with Mary Jane Watson, rescuing people on the subway, and Doctor Octopus throwing a car while he was eating with Mary Jane, etc. Are you familiar with those? It was eventually defined as Earth-1610B, which is quite different from the Ultimate universe.)

His name is Peter Benjamin Parker, born in December 1991. He grew up in Queens, New York City, and developed a close relationship with his aunt May Parker and uncle Ben Parker from an early age.

In 2007, at age 16, he was bitten by a radioactive spider while visiting Oscorp's biological laboratory. Since then, he has gained super strength, endurance, and spider-like abilities such as sticking to walls.

After his uncle Ben Parker's unexpected death, he invented wrist-mounted web-shooters and used his powers to become New York City's superhero, Spider-Man.

He spent eleven years as Spider-Man in New York, becoming a household name and respected by many for his heroic deeds and the hope he brought to people.

Although almost no one knows Spider-Man's true identity under the mask, there are countless products, foods, and even Christmas music albums named after him and using his image.

In order to fight against several powerful villains such as Kingpin, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Prowler who have been roaming the city for a long time, he cooperated with Aunt May, the only one who knew his secret identity, and established this underground spider base beneath Aunt May's house.

In the spider base, there are many pieces of equipment that he independently developed.

For example, a spider motorcycle that can run on walls was developed based on his spider abilities.

Another example is the suit fabrication machine that combines 3D printing technology and materials to create the dozen or so spider suits he built for himself with various functions.

In addition, there are vertically lifting drones that can fold their wings, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cars, 720-degree surround sound systems and movie viewing equipment, etc. 

Some of the technologies he sold to companies as Peter Parker to earn money to improve his and Aunt May's lives, and to support his superhero career.

After all, he is busy with his superhero work every day and has little time for a regular job.

Fortunately, Aunt May supported him, gave him advice, solved his problems, and helped shape who he is today.

As for this underground private base, it is also a safe house. If a catastrophic disaster destroys the city, Aunt May can enter here in time and reach underground. The thick protective layer of the base and its resources are enough to survive for a long time.

In short, until the age of 26, the blond Spider-Man lived a happy life. 

He fell in love with the kind-hearted Mary Jane Watson, and she fell for him too. After several years of courtship, they became a couple.

This Spider-Man's deeds made Peter sincerely envious.

If it hadn't been for this sudden accident, he would have lived happily ever after.

The blond Spider-Man's actions undoubtedly opened up new ideas for Peter. 

He learned a lot from it.

In the past, he envied Tony Stark's company and how cool Iron Man looked flying around in his suit.

But now, he thought, maybe he could do something similar to the blond Spider-Man.

For example, he could not build Parker Industries, but use the money he earned, or simply invest using his technology. 

Anyway, if he is passionate about being a superhero, he won't have much time to manage a company.

And he was interested in the study of physics, not financial management.

Unless, like Iron Man, he could find someone as trustworthy and capable as Pepper Potts to help him run the business.

But that's too difficult.

Stark Industries was built on the foundation of his father's generation, so Iron Man expanded the huge Stark empire by adhering to tradition and innovating. 

But if Peter was going to start Parker Industries, he would be starting from scratch.

If he doesn't want to do it himself, but finds a suitable person to help run it, then the question is, since that person has such strong capability, why would they help him?

Wouldn't it be better for them to start their own company, or go directly work for a large corporation? 

Instead of doing that, it's better for Peter to only be responsible for providing money, technology and collecting profits, while focusing on research.

As for himself, like the blond Spider-Man, he can build a small but well-equipped cutting-edge laboratory to support his personal development.

As for why he is passionate about being a superhero but doesn't like managing companies, he can only say that everyone has their own preferences.

Just like some people like reading books, some like sports, and some like playing games.

Peter's hobby is being a superhero. 

And he can also go to different worlds to be a superhero!

As for whether he will be tricked or something like that, that is something to consider later. Don't think about it too much, okay?

Click!

The suspended elevator stopped at the bottom, and the surrounding lights lit up one by one. 

The first thing that caught his eye was a row of standing cabinets.

When he saw these cabinets, information about them automatically came to Peter's mind. 

Each of these cabinets contains a set of spider suits designed by the blond Spider-Man, and each set has different effects.

They were not suitable for daily wear, so they were stored here.

They have accompanied the blond Spider-Man through some events and dealt with certain villains. Each set holds memories and has unique collection value!
