Alex immediately fell deep into thought.
So many Spider-Men crossing over from different universes…
Why did this plot feel so familiar?
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
No doubt about it!
Alex's eyes lit up.
One detail after another began lining up perfectly.
In this universe—
Kingpin's wife and son were frightened after witnessing him fight Batman, panicked, fled in their car…
And died in a crash.
To see them again, Kingpin secretly built a particle collider beneath Brooklyn, hoping to access the multiverse and "bring" alternate versions of his family into his world.
Could it be…
because of that collider incident?
No proof yet, but the collider's energy output was absurd—so strong that multiple Spider-Men from other universes were pulled here.
Isn't that exactly what Hank described?
A quantum disturbance in one universe triggering a quantum energy surge that affects unrelated universes.
Kingpin's collider firing once caused a chain reaction across multiple universes!
It perfectly matched Hank's explanation:
Kingpin's collider ripped the multiverse,
destabilized spacetime,
and created a breach within the Quantum Realm.
And—
America Chavez just so happened to open a portal during that unstable moment.
Result:
The quantum surge swallowed Raven and the others.
So the solution was simple:
1. Find Kingpin.
2. Make him open the collider again.
3. Enter the Quantum Realm through the same breach
4. Rescue Raven and the others.
Decision made.
But before acting, he had to confirm his theory.
Time to verify whether this universe was indeed the Into the Spider-Verse universe.
SHOOM—
Alex activated his super-vision and looked toward the cluster of Spider-Men he had sensed earlier.
There they were:
Spider-Gwen
Noir Spider-Man
Middle-aged burnout Peter Parker
Miles Morales
Peni Parker and SP//dr
A whole lineup of wildly different, iconic Spider-People.
Yup.
No mistake.
This was definitely the Spider-Verse world.
With that confirmed—
Alex expanded his super hearing, filtering out everything except keywords:
Kingpin… collider… experiment… breach…
Soon—
His eyes brightened.
"Found it!"
BOOM—
Alex blasted off, leaving a sonic boom behind.
BOOM—
The shockwave reappeared deep within a forest, outside what appeared to be a corporate facility.
The metal sign on the wall read:
ALCHEMAX LABS
But Alex's super hearing told him the truth—
This was Kingpin's secret research base.
The collider's control center.
Inside, every scientist was in full emergency mode, analyzing the failed experiment.
Alex didn't understand the dense scientific jargon—but it all sounded extremely complicated.
He ignored the noise and locked onto Kingpin's voice instantly.
Super vision combined with X-ray sight—
And Kingpin appeared in his field of view.
The crime lord sat in his office while a woman in a lab coat—back facing Alex—reported data to him.
Had Alex seen her face, he would've recognized her immediately:
Doctor Octopus.
And in this universe, she was a woman—
and fiercely loyal to Kingpin.
"Since the last experiment was interrupted by Spider-Man," she explained, "it technically wasn't a valid test."
"Our analysis team is reviewing the recorded data, but because Green Goblin threw Spider-Man into the energy stream, the readings are heavily contaminated. The cleanup will take time."
"I don't want excuses," Kingpin interrupted coldly. "Just tell me—did the collider work or not?"
"Well…"
Doc Ock pushed up her glasses.
"If variants of Spider-Man begin appearing in our world, then the collider worked. If not…"
She shrugged.
The implication was clear.
"Give me something concrete."
Kingpin frowned.
A single collider activation consumed an enormous amount of power. After the last failed run, he only had enough energy for one more attempt.
The next activation wouldn't be a test—
It would be the real thing.
He needed certainty.
"I'll oversee the data myself," Doc Ock said. "If there's any progress—"
CRASH!!
A loud explosion cut her off.
The office window shattered violently.
A young man blurred into the room in a streak of motion.
Kingpin and Doc Ock both stiffened in shock.
No one had ever dared storm Kingpin's stronghold this way.
Not even Spider-Man.
But their alarm lasted only a moment.
They didn't panic.
They were supervillains, after all.
"Well, this is new," Doc Ock said dryly.
"Even Spider-Man hasn't done this."
Spider-Man had been Kingpin's greatest nemesis for years.
But even he never infiltrated Kingpin's headquarters so directly.
Alex didn't waste time.
"Yes. It worked."
He spoke bluntly.
"The collider succeeded. I'm proof.
I came from another universe."
Kingpin and Doc Ock froze.
Shock washed over their faces.
A stranger had just broken into their base—
And declared himself an interdimensional traveler.
