Isekai into Marvel/DC

Chapter 133 Who is Arno?

“WHAT!?” Peter was incredibly shocked by what I found out. Arno Stark, brother of Tony Stark was his father. Now, some might be wondering, who the fuck is Arno? Well, in the original comics, he was the real son of Howard and Maria Stark. They found their child was going to die so got an alien to help him survive the birth. The alien wanted to push forward Earth’s technological powers so enhanced the child's intelligence. Then they adopted Tony who also happened to be a technological genius.

They obviously didn’t go for that in the new comics because that’s convoluted as hell and makes zero sense. Arno was just Tony’s older brother, rightful heir of Stark Enterprises who was left completely paralyzed in the assassination staged as a car accident that killed his parents. The female SHIELD agent who was his partner was Peter’s mother but that’s an entirely different can of worms. Peter’s mom and Uncle Ben were both SHIELD agents.

Her identity got leaked after she quit SHIELD to raise her child. She was assassinated by HYDRA at the same time Tony’s parents and brother were in a car crash which left Arno paralyzed. Her brother, Uncle Ben, left SHIELD because of how her information leaked and got his sister killed. 

Twelve years later there’s another ‘leak’ and the same group(HYDRA) who killed Mary Parker also killed Ben Parker and staged it as a mugging gone wrong. Sandman was a pawn of HYDRA when they promised to cure his daughter if he killed Ben Parker and staged it like a mugging gone wrong. HYDRA being HYDRA immediately betrayed him and pushed him into the sand collider which gave him his powers. 

I couldn’t help but do jazz hands as I say. “Surprise!” I left him with that information as I went to get the rest of the stories. With one of the teams being Madam Webb or Silk to find… Now, did I go for the lesbian or Silk… I think I’ll pick Silk to get the story from. It didn’t take very long, I knew the secret identities of almost everyone so finding Cindy Moon who hadn’t been outed was very, very easy.

Her apartment was in one of the worst parts of the city. If she wasn’t getting held at gunpoint regularly I’d be surprised. While most of the supervillains were taken care of it left a huge gap in the smaller crimes like muggings and petty theft. If not held at gunpoint then she definitely had someone try to snatch her purse and hurt themselves when it didn’t budge from her hands.

I knocked on her window as she was in the middle of cooking and she shrieked in fear. That was most likely because her silk-sense didn’t alert her to someone watching her. When you have a cheat power like that you rely on it makes your senses that much duller when someone can negate it. I knocked again before stepping down. She must have recognized me from my commercials or Forbes 100 Millionaires Under Twenty where I placed first.

She looked excited and then confused as she came over. I just kept smiling as I asked. “So, I heard you had a big battle recently. Any chance you want to tell me about it.” The confusion dropped as she became scared and I just waved her off. “Come on. No need to look afraid. I’m part of the one hundred, I’ve known your Silk since the moment I came to this universe.”

She looked pensive before I looked around her house some more as she decided what to do. I gave her more incentive. “Well, having a famous person on your fire escape is going to draw more attention than you probably want. Do you want to invite me inside at least?” With that, I was ushered inside. She ran back over to her food as it had started to make popping noises from the grease getting too hot.

She was cooking an entire pan of pork belly. It just so happened that she was near the end of cooking. She looked at the pan before asking. “Do you?” I answered. “I wouldn’t want to intrude, you clearly didn’t know I was coming.” She started to plate the sticky pork belly and placed another portion of kimchi beside it piling it a few inches onto the plate. As she blew on the food and took her first bite she asked. “So, what do you want to know?”

Silk’s Point of View

Madam Web and I swung towards the biggest explosion. After searching the area, I saw no one to fight. After looking for another five minutes a nearby explosion alerted us to the perpetrator again. Even then, we didn’t see any obvious villain. My silk-senses were going crazy as if I was missing something but after another five minutes, an explosion led us towards it again.

Finally, the evil man who decided to stick around this time laughed as he spoke. “I’ve already won. Those buildings that were blown up had hundreds of people inside!” Before them stood a demon flying on a board. Demogoblin was one of the hardest enemies for Spiderman to defeat because he was magical. Demonic in nature, he tossed pumpkin bombs at us.

My silk-senses flared before he did, letting me jump away but Madam Webb was caught in the edge of the blast. The demonic fire burned hotter than a normal explosion. *Slurp, slurp, slurp* I did my best to hold Demogoblin back while she recovered but it was an uphill battle. Using shurikens. *Slurp, slurp, slurp.*

“When did you start using shurikens, I’ll just wait until you’re done eating to hear the rest of the story.” She ate another slice of pork belly moaning in food pleasure as she ate another two mouthfuls of kimchi after. She explained. “There was a big group of ninjas that showed up in New York a few weeks ago. They brought a bunch so instead of wasting them I took them to use.”

That’s pretty genius to not waste resources. It would also give her a method to deal damage from ranged besides a predictable web attack. She ate the rest of her food before rubbing her stomach. I teleported in a bubble tea and a coffee for myself as she drank I took a quick look at her barren fridge. Teleporting in about five hundred dollars worth of groceries I left the owner of the Korean shop a thousand dollars in front of her.

Stephanie said she’d smack me around if I kept stealing in front of her so with a heavy heart I started paying for things in front of heroes. She only had a bottle of cheap vodka, soju, coffee milk, and a day or two worth of food to make meals with. Seeing a bare fridge like that made me feel bad so I fixed it. I sighed as she looked confused at me. “I got to check the fridge when I go anywhere new. It’s a war thing.”

Her vision changed to a more understanding one as she nodded her head. Holy fuck, what if I’m fighting Thanos and he starts throwing empty fridges or even worse, fridges with food stored incorrectly. That would be a nightmare. “Well, now that we’re done with that can we get back to the story?”
