The Mysterious Fishbowl-Headed Man

Pietro thought about it for a moment and figured that option B was most likely the correct answer.

The reasoning was solid—when the monster appeared, Peter was on the scene. Sure, the kid wasn't exactly ready to take charge, but he wouldn't just freeze up completely.

He had fought Thanos before, after all. Dealing with a nearby monster should be something he could handle without hesitation.

Strange crossed his arms and frowned after listening to pietro's analysis. "A water elemental? It looks like a magical construct. To be honest, I was tempted to choose option D. I'd be more suited to dealing with a creature like that. But thinking it through, option A stands out—it's an unfamiliar name."

Young Peter took a deep breath and said, "Let's go with A, or maybe D—either way, let's rule out B. I just don't think the answer could be B!"

Poor kid, taking another hit.

After seeing a video of his future self looking completely flustered in front of reporters, Peter was so embarrassed he wished he could curl his toes hard enough to dig a hole and bury himself.

Pietro noticed his disappointment. He opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately remained silent. He had already said everything that needed to be said. No matter how young Peter was, some things had to be worked through on his own.

Doctor Strange made the final call. "Let's go with A. Our team's score is in danger—we need to be careful."

After several rounds of answering questions, the score gap between the two teams had widened.

Team A, consisting of Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X, had accumulated 12 points.

Meanwhile, Team B, with Doctor Strange, Quicksilver, and Spider-Man, was still sitting at zero. If they didn't turn things around soon, the gap would only grow, and their chances of winning would become slimmer and slimmer.

Looking at the question rationally, Strange found option A the most suspicious, simply because it was the only unfamiliar choice.

In previous rounds, similar patterns had appeared. While no one fully understood the game's rules, the players had picked up on some trends.

Magneto's team didn't have that advantage. They lacked both experience with the game and a deep understanding of the Marvel universe. Without enough information, they relied on Charles' analysis and chose B.

The countdown ended quickly, and both teams rushed to press the answer button.

Team B, desperate for points, tried to secure the answer first, while Team A, in the lead, wanted to extend their advantage.

In the end, Team B won the buzzer race.

After both teams locked in their choices, the correct answer was revealed:

[Congratulations, Team B! The correct answer was A. Player Stephen Strange, player Peter Parker, and player Pietro Maximoff each earn 4 points.]

Team A answered incorrectly. Player Erik lenhenserr, player Charles Xavier, and player Logan Howlett each lose 1 point.]

Pietro was surprised by the result. He glanced at Doctor Strange and shook his head. "Your intuition is pretty spot-on. 'Mysterio'… is he some new superhero?"

Strange frowned. "Not sure. We'll find out in the video. That water elemental looked… odd."

He couldn't quite put his finger on it—just a gut feeling.

Before long, the screen started playing the follow-up footage.

The water elemental monster was massive, causing panic the moment it appeared.

Peter, who had left his suit at the hotel, hesitated. He was worried about exposing his identity and had no idea how to deal with the creature.

But when he saw people being attacked, he didn't hesitate any longer—he rushed in to help evacuate the crowd.

As the water monster grew more aggressive, a mysterious figure with a fishbowl-like helmet suddenly appeared and engaged it in battle without a word.

This newcomer seemed to wield magic, summoning green, smoke-like energy and intricate runes to attack the water elemental.

However, they were near a river—the perfect battleground for a water-based creature. Mysterio appeared to be struggling.

Seeing this, Peter threw on a random mask to cover his face and ran over to ask how he could help.

Ever the good-hearted hero, Peter received a quick response from Mysterio: they needed to lure the elemental to a dry area to gain the upper hand.

During the fight, Peter tried using his webs against the monster, but they had no effect. While Mysterio focused on attacking, Peter took on the role of support, helping with crowd control.

The monster's rampage caused serious damage to nearby buildings.

Realizing this, Peter started playing temporary handyman, leaping around to reinforce structures and prevent debris from hurting civilians.

After a tough battle, Mysterio successfully led the creature to an area without water.

With a final surge of glowing green smoke and runes, he managed to subdue the massive elemental.

Of course, spiderman had played his part too—without his efforts, many buildings might have collapsed.

With the crisis resolved, the masked hero turned and left without saying much, embodying the classic "mysterious warrior" vibe.

However, the impact of his actions was already beginning to spread.

That evening, Peter and his classmates returned to the hotel. After the day's events, everyone was still buzzing with excitement.

Conveniently, the news was airing footage of the battle, and Ned—the ever-enthusiastic best friend—promptly gave the new hero a nickname: Mysterio.

Back in his room, Peter was about to relax when he was startled by an unexpected visitor.

It was none other than the man who had hung up on him earlier—the one-eyed, bald-headed Nick Fury.

The guy was lounging on the couch, gun in hand, face cold and unreadable.

With his eyepatch and no-nonsense aura, anyone who didn't know him would've assumed he was some ruthless crime boss.

Peter was understandably freaked out—especially when Fury, without hesitation, shot Ned with a tranquilizer right in front of him.

"Man, getting a hold of you is a real pain," Fury muttered, his single eye fixed on Peter.

His tone dripped with sarcasm.

"I used to know everything. But after disappearing for five years, now I know nothing. No intel, no team. And now, even a high school kid has the nerve to ignore my calls."

Yeah, Fury was pissed.

Back in the day, he worked with people like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Black Widow.

Legends.

And now?

He was stuck dealing with a teenage kid who had the audacity to ghost him.

Seeing Fury's reaction in the video, many of the players watching from outside the screen couldn't help but chuckle.
