Prologue

I was a simple man. All I wanted was peace, and to live a happy life with my family.

But no.

This world sucked it all away from me.

Mom dead when I was 3

I watched my dad die slowly after a bullet got stuck in his head, and ended up piercing his brain.

I watched my aunt and uncle die from something they said was just a more advanced flu.

I watched 3 of my cousins die because of gang violence.

Etc. Etc. ETFUCKINGCETERA.

I was tired.

The only thing that kept me alive was comics and TV shows. Pretty cliche right?

But it's true (It defenitely is, I'm addicted to manga/comics/and lightnovels in real life, it's like they bring you to a world shut off from your own, and everything is just peaceful....until the author uses a cliffhanger jutsu or drops a perfectly fine book.) I was only still living because of Marvel.

Stan Lee was my idle. He created something this amazing, but never let the money or fame get to him, and always kept his morals, and kept making other people happy.

So when I woke up in a dark void, and saw him holding up 5 fingers next to a sign that said wishes with his trademark smile....I LOST IT!!!

....

"Alright kid, are you done fan boying?"

???: Oh yeah sorry...haha. So what are the limits to my wishes?"

Stan: "You can only wish for knowledge, and only 1 persons knowledge/experience/abilities for every wish."

???:"Easy. I want Nathaniel Essex' knowledge, Reed Richards knowledge, Abraham Erskines Knowledge, Tony Masters Abilities, and the abilities of Douglas Aaron Ramsey."

Stan pulled out a notebook and a pen, and started writing me into the story, and gave me all my gifts. My mouth was gaped on the fact that he just wrote me into the book when he's not even alive anymore.

Stan: "Alright off you go, and remember to do good by my name. I have gave you my blessings, so you represent me now. I won't interfere no matter what you do, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't tarnish my name."

???: Don't worry, I'd never do that to my idle. But I definitely won't be some chump who doesn't wanna get his hands dirty. If anyone's life is in danger and the only way to save them is to kill the villain...I'm choosing the civilian over the villain any day."

Stan: "While I don't like that, as I said I will not interfere. Now go out there and be the best you can be."

And with that I was off. At least I thought so.

"Hello, young man, my name is The One Above All, you will get 3 wishes, but you don't have long so make them quick. By the way you'll be going to the world of Marvel, and you'll be able to start your life anew."

???:"WHAT THE FUC-"

Oh by the way my name is Daniel Richards. But my new name will be Dexter Hargreeves.
