Sometimes student, sometimes scientist and sometimes photographer, Peter Parker is a full-time super hero better known as the web-slinging and wall-crawling Spider-Man. As an orphaned child, Peter was raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. At a science expo, Peter was bitten by an errant radioactive spider which granted him an array of arachnid powers. He initially became Spider-Man to use his powers as an entertainer, growing so conceited he didn't bother stopping a passerby burglar. In a twist of fate, the same burglar wound up killing Peter's Uncle Ben, leading him to realize that he needed to use his powers responsibly.[11] From then on, Spider-Man became a crime-fighting vigilante.[133] Often a loner, Spider-Man is a stalwart member of the super hero community who has earned numerous allies like the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. He has made of numerous super villains his personal enemies, including Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Venom, and most notoriously, his nemesis the Green Goblin, who killed Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy.[134] Peter's support network extends to his civilian life, including Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, and J. Jonah Jameson, although the latter used to run a smear campaign against the wall-crawler in his newspaper, the Daily Bugle. Recently, following the rise and fall of his start-up company, Parker Industries,[135] Peter juggled his Spider-Man activities with his return to college, while also becoming the target of torment of a demonic entity known as Kindred.[136] Following Kindred's defeat,[137] Peter was hospitalized for months due to a super villain fight,[138] paving the way for his clone Ben Reilly to reassert himself as Spider-Man. Peter ultimately recovered from his injuries, but also had to come face-to-face against Ben, who had become morally corrupted due to the machinations of his corporate sponsors, the Beyond Corporation.[139]

After being defeated by Thor, Loki is banished by Odin to the Land of Silence, a place capable of driving any being mad. There, time flows differently, and Loki spends centuries in complete isolation, while in Midgard only a short time passes. With his mind sharpened by hatred, he realizes that the barriers between the worlds are weakened: not enough to escape, but enough to spread his influence through whispers and manipulations. Using this power, Loki influences scientists to explore the barrier and manipulates Bruce Banner to unleash the Hulk in New York, keeping Thor occupied. However, the chaos attracts the attention of other heroes: Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp join the fight. After a devastating confrontation, the Hulk is finally contained. Nick Fury, director of SHIELD, then reveals that it was all a distraction created by Loki. The god of lies' plan was a success. He escapes with the help of Dr. Erik Selvig and even steals SHIELD's most powerful project: the Cosmic Cube, an artifact of limitless power that was once in the hands of the Red Skull. Thor decides to face his brother alone, but Fury warns him that the threat is greater than it seems. With Loki emerging in New York at the head of an army, ready to dominate the Nine Realms from Earth, the heroes unite. They are the planet's last line of defense—and, if they fail to protect it, they will avenge it.
