Chapter 478 People Need Heroes
In the video, a disgraced Peter Parker still performed heroic acts even after losing his superpowers. Unfortunately, he only rescued a little girl from the fire, and there were still victims who failed to escape from the fire.
Peter Parker truly realizes the significance of his superpowers. In some cases, his superpowers are equivalent to other people's chances of survival!
"This is what Uncle Ben said, 'With great power comes great responsibility'..."
In eternal space, Peter Parker also fell into deep thought. Seeing himself in a period of confusion in the normal timeline, he was certainly touched.
In fact, becoming a hero is not an easy thing, or the word hero carries a heavy weight. If you just want people's applause and admiration, then it may be better to be an actor or star.
Just like the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, guys who also have extraordinary abilities, they choose to use their abilities to seek benefits, break the law and commit crimes, and do things that harm others and benefit themselves. However, Spider-Man has made his life a mess because of his super powers. No material benefits were obtained, and spiritual wealth such as love and friendship were lost.
The gap between each other is the price of becoming a hero!
In fact, Peter Parker didn't quite understand these principles at the beginning. Just like in the future video, in the normal timeline, although he has become Spider-Man who flies around high-rise buildings, fights criminals, and upholds justice, in his heart he It's not clear. Those who supported him in doing so were more out of guilt for Uncle Ben's death.
But after the advent of the quiz game, Spider-Man came into contact with superheroes from other worlds. From their words and deeds, as well as their various experiences, Peter Parker gradually understood what a hero is, and at the same time strengthened his beliefs.
Although he does not have the guidance of other superheroes in the normal timeline, he also has a very good family around him-Aunt May.
In the video, after Peter Parker told Aunt May the truth about Uncle Ben's death, they met again, but it was Aunt May who was preparing to move. As we saw before, after Uncle Ben's death, Aunt May lived alone, financially. It’s also very tight.
After all, he is old and has no stable source of income, and Little Spider is a work-study boy. He usually has to fly around to fight criminals, so naturally he is unable to provide assistance to Aunt Mei.
Aunt May couldn't afford the rent of the big house she lived in now, and was moving to a small apartment with a poor environment. After getting the news, Peter Parker came to visit and found that Aunt May had almost packed everything.
Peter Parker felt that she should have told him earlier and let him figure it out, but Aunt May told him: "I can take care of myself."
Peter Parker took the initiative to chat about what happened that day, but Aunt May had already thought about it. She smiled and waved her hand: "That's enough. Stop talking about it. Let the past be bygones... It's really great that you can tell the truth." Brave, I'm proud of you. I want to thank you... I love you so much, Peter."
Aunt May gave him a hug with tears in her eyes, resolving Peter Parker's heart knot with love, tolerance and encouragement.
At this time, the little boy Henry who came to help Aunt May pack and move asked curiously: "Hey, Peter, are you specifically taking pictures of Spider-Man?"
"Well, it used to be." Peter Parker hesitated and replied.
The little boy looked at him with big eyes: "Do you know where Spider-Man went?"
Aunt Mei also joined the discussion, "I haven't seen his picture in the newspapers recently."

Peter Parker thought for a while, spread his hands and said, "Well... he quits."
"Why?" The little boy Henry looked at him puzzled.
Peter Parker said: "Because he wanted to do his own thing."
The little boy asked him again: "He will come back, right?"
Faced with such innocent eyes, Peter Parker in the video could only shrug his shoulders and say that he didn't know.
Aunt May said at this time: "You have no idea who he wants to be...Spider-Man!"
No wonder the little boy was so concerned about Spider-Man's movements. It turned out that he regarded Spider-Man as his idol. Now it was Peter Parker's turn to ask why.
Aunt May smiled and said: "Because there are few people who fly around like him and take risks to save me, an old woman. Children like Henry need heroes. Heroes who sacrifice their small self to fulfill their big self are our heroes." "
She said earnestly: "Everyone likes heroes, and everyone will cheer for them and wait for a long time in the rain, just to take a look at the hero who desperately saved their lives.
I believe that everyone has the qualities to become a hero. It makes us loyal to ourselves, gives us strength, allows us to have noble sentiments, and finally allows us to die gloriously... although sometimes we must sacrifice our ego and give up our most cherished things. things, even your own dreams.
Spider-Man inspired Henry to wonder where he was and that he needed the hero too. "
Aunt May's eyes contained deep meaning, and with her encouragement, Peter Parker gradually clarified his position. However, many viewers were curious at this time, that is, whether Aunt May in the video knew What's Spider-Man's true identity?
Chief Gordon was a little curious: "Aunt May must have guessed it. Her words of encouragement were obviously directed at Spider-Man. She must know that Peter is Spider-Man."
Peter Parker blinked: "Well... Anyway, now Aunt May and Uncle Ben, I mean everyone knows that I am Spider-Man."
Bruce Wayne shrugged: "Me too. I was exposed before I even became Batman."
Arthur joined in with a smile: "That's right. Before today, I didn't know I would be the joker. Now everyone knows. This game is really interesting."
He was laughing from the bottom of his heart at this time, because after answering this series of questions, Arthur had unknowingly topped the scoreboard, and had left the second and third place behind by a lot of points. Seeing that there was a high probability that he would win the game and get the mysterious prize, he naturally had reason to laugh happily.
In comparison, Sheriff Gordon couldn't laugh: "To be honest, I don't think this game is that interesting. Although it can help us avoid some dangers and tragedies, it also exacerbates the chaos!"
Jim Gordon was very unlucky. He ranked last in points, and the gap with the top three was too big. There was probably no chance of a comeback. In other words, his elimination was basically a foregone conclusion.
Back to the topic, regardless of whether Aunt May in the video knew that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, her encouragement did rekindle Peter Parker's fighting spirit.
