The uncontrollable urge to be the best.

The powers I've got are way stronger than I expected, which makes me think that stronger foes are on the horizon. Marvel has this habit of boosting their heroes' powers just to introduce even tougher villains.

I've got webs shooting from my wrists, a spider-sense, and super-enhanced senses—sight, smell, all that jazz. I can lift something weighing at least 2 tons without breaking a sweat, so handling a partially collapsed building should be a piece of cake with this strength.

For all I know, this world could be from the comic universe, the movie universe, or some fanfic mashup created by a lunatic. I could be a hero, but I really dislike how flawed Spider-Man is across all his iterations. He's always been the go-to punching bag for the next big Avengers-level threat, which never gets resolved because the Avengers are tied up with another global crisis.

Spider-Man is a lot like DC heroes in that he faces threats beyond his capabilities but still has to juggle everyday life issues. Unlike other Marvel heroes who mostly deal with supervillains or anti-heroes, Spider-Man's most relatable and impactful problems come from his daily life. He can't just punch his problems away; he has to try to fix them or keep failing and learning from those failures in an endless loop.

I don't want to be that. I don't want to be weighed down by financial struggles or lack of strength. I don't want to deal with the constant pressure that Spider-Man faces. I want to be efficient, avoid mistakes, and eliminate regrets. I want to be the solution, not the problem.

To achieve the best possible Spider-Man life, I need to get stronger, become financially stable, and manage my time effectively. These three things would have saved Peter Parker a lot of trouble.

Managing my time will be easy; I used to juggle seven jobs a day in my past life. Strength is a continuous process, so that will come with time. Money is where I'm comparatively weaker, but with Peter's smarts, I could become a tech YouTuber. It's relatively inexpensive to start, and I've always wanted to be famous. Plus, I have a unique advantage: ideas for videos that don't exist in this universe or won't unless I create them.

That's a solid plan. I can do a lot in Parker's basement, as long as I get Uncle Ben's permission. That shouldn't be a problem. The next step is research. I need to understand this planet thoroughly—what's possible and what isn't—to estimate how long we have before New York turns into a superhero showdown.

The internet has given me some wild info, like the idea that Area 51 has "hot cat babes," which sounds ridiculous but might be plausible in this universe. It also tells me that Tony Stark is the equivalent of Elon Musk here—people love him for being a chill billionaire and hate him for his flaws and the way he's perceived. 

He isn't Iron Man yet, so we have some time before supervillains and superheroes become a big deal. From what I've seen, the X-Men don't exist here—thank goodness for that. I definitely don't want to deal with that indecisive community, even though they had a century's head start with evolution.

This seems to be a lower-tier Marvel universe since there aren't many mentions of superhumans. Either SHIELD is exceptionally good at keeping things under wraps, which is concerning, or superpowers really aren't common—at least not until I got mine.

This world seems to fit my needs, and I'm giving it a stamp of approval for livability. The final piece I need to figure out is my action plan, which I've already got mapped out. It's simple: make money, develop an A.I., and monitor every ant in New York. My focus will be on keeping this one city safe while working on the first two parts of my top-tier plan.

My plan essentially boils down to gearing up and cranking my paranoia up to eleven because things are about to get real—real soon. I need to prepare for every possible scenario, just like Batman.

But all these plans need money, so it's time to start making some videos.
