Sandman and symbiote Spiderman

The Quiz game reveals that the real murderer of Uncle Ben was someone else. this surprised not just the players, but many viewers outside the screen, including Ben Parker, who holds his wife's hand and says with a strange expression, "Damn, I'm still alive, but in the eyes of many people, I'm already dead, and they want to find out the cause of my death?!"

Aunt May also looks helpless, shaking her head and saying, "In my opinion, there's no need to investigate such things, but if Peter knows about this..."

Peter, mentioned in her words, naturally refers to Peter in the normal timeline in the screen.

After the answer, the video on the screen resumes as Spider-Man continues to enjoy the admiration and thanks of the people. At this moment, another robbery occurs in the city, and he promptly rushes to the scene.

The bank's cash transport vehicle is attacked by a robber, and this robber is quite extraordinary. He can transform into sand, undoubtedly the correct answer to the previous question, It's unclear what happened to him, but he can turn into sand, making him immune to physical attacks to some extent. Bullets are ineffective against him. And Spider-Man's web attacks are no exception; he suffers in close combat, but Sandman doesn't linger with Spider-Man for too long, taking the opportunity to escape.

Next, the screen starts to flashback Sandman's experiences. He was supposed to be serving time in prison, but one day, he escaped and secretly returned home to see his sick daughter. It turns out his daughter fell ill, and the medical expenses were high. Initially, it seemed he turned to a life of crime to gather funds for his daughter's medical treatment, landing him in prison.

After visiting his daughter, Flint is caught by his wife. They have a heated argument, waking up their sleeping daughter, who gives her father a photo of herself as a keepsake.

After leaving home, Flint is soon pursued by the police. While fleeing, he inadvertently enters a military-restricted area where a large particle acceleration experiment is taking place.

It's unclear whether Flint's luck was good or bad, but he smoothly blends in, avoiding detection. However, he falls into a sand pit in the experimental area, unnoticed by the experimenters, and the experiment begins.

In an instant, Flint was washed away by high-energy particles, reminding of Thanos' snap for many viewers.

But the next day, the pile of sand in the pit unexpectedly reassembled, Flint didn't die in the experiment; instead, he coincidentally gained the ability to transform into sand!

Seeing this, people can understand why he went on to rob the cash transport vehicle – to get money for his critically ill daughter.

"Such a pitiful person. My child also fell ill; it's truly torturous... Hospitals are like bottomless pits, but fortunately, my wife and I both have stable jobs."

"Yes, the family conditions of this man are indeed worthy of sympathy, but that's not a reason for his criminal actions! He could have raised funds through legal channels; he's physically able, so why resort to crime?"

"oh shut up, I've heard enough of your cold-hearted words. If earning money were that easy, the world would be a peaceful place, and there wouldn't be so many robbers, would there?"

"Exactly, if one can be a good person, who would choose the criminal path? Of course, I don't deny that many criminals are greedy and cruel, but I dare say, among them, there are definitely those forced into a life of crime due to circumstances, compelled by life onto the path of wrongdoing."

"Enough of that. I see no halos above your heads. Sympathizing with a criminal? It's enough. Do you even know what crime Flint was imprisoned for? If you encounter him on the street one day, I bet you won't shed a tear!"

Viewers discuss Flint's plight, mainly moved by his love for his critically ill daughter, even in a criminal's life, it serves as a shining point.

Meanwhile, in the video, the focus returns to Peter. After driving away Flint, he prepares to propose to Mary Jane in the evening. He specially decorates the restaurant where they have a date, placing the engagement ring in a champagne glass for a surprise.

However, Peter's proposed trip encounters a hitch. Gwen, originally rescued by him, unexpectedly appears at the same restaurant. Mary Jane, witnessing their intimacy, learns that Gwen and Peter have known each other since school and even had a good relationship. Fueled by jealousy, she, already upset about Peter's change, immediately leaves, giving Peter a cold look.

Peter has to retrieve the prepared ring from the glass, and the well-planned proposal ends abruptly.

But the bad news doesn't stop there. He and Aunt May are soon summoned to the police station, where they are informed that the real culprit in Uncle Ben's death was mistaken. The actual murderer is not the car thief Dennis Carradine, but the escaped Flint Marko!

Peter becomes somewhat emotionally unstable on the spot. For so many years, he has been blaming himself for Uncle Ben's death, and now he's told that he initially chased the wrong person.

Seeing this, Bruce outside the screen says keenly, "This might be the beginning of Spider-Man turning bad..."

Gordon frowns, "I forgot there's still venom lurking in the shadows. Peter has been oblivious to it all this time!"

Peter shrugs, "Maybe venom is good at hiding itself. Of course, I have to admit my Spider-Sense isn't all-knowing. But honestly, if I encounter these things, I won't give up!"

In the video, he does exactly that, returning home and keeping a close eye on the radio for information, trying to trace Flint's whereabouts. During this time, his girlfriend Mary Jane comes to console him, but Peter brushes her off with a few words.

He, like his friend Harry, is now ablaze with the flames of revenge.

Peter patiently awaits news about Flint, but in his dreams, he gets something else – the symbiote.

The black goo slowly sticks to him, spreading gradually, ultimately forming a new Spider suit. Unlike the original red color, it's now pitch-black.
