Unfortunately, Lock didn't know... At this time, Lock had already returned to his home at 104 37th Avenue, Flushing, Queens.
Lock stood at the door, rubbing his face, which was slightly stiff from today's excessive killing. After putting on a smile, he pushed open the door marked Parker Family and shouted:
"Dad, Mom, Peter, I'm back."
Entering the door, Lock first smelled a strong scent of baked cookies.
Then, he saw two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, and a young man even younger than Lock coming to greet him.
The two middle-aged people were named Benjamin Parker and May Parker, his parents in this life.
And the young man had a name everyone was more familiar with, Peter Parker!
Which is the future-friendly neighborhood, Spider-Man!
But now Peter is just an ordinary person, not Spider-Man.
And Uncle Ben and Aunt May also had a son like him who shouldn't have existed.
And he wasn't sure whether it was because of the mysterious spider that had bitten him in his last life.
Although Lock wasn't bitten by any radioactive spider in this life, he had been different from ordinary people since childhood.
His body was stronger than that of ordinary people, his movements more agile, and even his IQ was much higher than that of ordinary people!
And as he grew older, Lock found that his body didn't just have these conventional attributes stronger than others from the start, but also had some superpowers that shouldn't exist in normal humans!
For example, the ability to cling to walls at any angle like a spider, or the ability to shoot super-strong spider silk from his wrists!
And, the precognitive Spider-Sense!
All of this made Lock confirm that he had awakened Spider-Man's abilities!
And it was the abilities of the first-generation Spider-Man played by the actor with the same name, Bully Tobey Maguire!
His strength was clearly stronger than that of a normal Spider-Man, easily lifting a cargo truck weighing dozens of tons with one hand!
You should know that an ordinary Spider-Man's strength limit in normal conditions can lift dozens of tons, but he has the limit strength of a regular Spider-Man with just one hand!
And shooting spider silk himself didn't require any technological launchers; instead, he could 'self-produce and self-use' by shooting silk from his body!
Except for the stat monster Bully Spider-Man, who can tear Venom apart by hand, few Spider-Men can do this, right?
So, although Lock, as a transmigrator, didn't have a standard system, relying on Spider-Man's abilities, he could still live a colorful life.
However, even with Lock as a variable in this world, when he was ten, Peter Parker, who was two years younger than him, still couldn't escape the protagonist's fate of losing both parents.
After Peter was sent to his house by his parents for a temporary stay, it wasn't long before news came back that Peter's parents had died in an accidental plane crash.
Originally, Lock could have used his advantage of knowing the plot to save Peter's parents in advance.
But because his ability development wasn't complete then, and the two most important abilities, spider silk and Spider-Sense, hadn't awakened... to avoid attracting the attention of Oscorp, which was researching the Super Spider project at the time, Lock, who didn't have a deep relationship with his cousin Peter yet, ultimately chose to stand by and watch Peter's parents never return.
Naturally, because of the death of Peter's parents, his cousin Peter changed from a temporary resident to a long-term resident in his home, and his parents, Ben and Ma,y became Peter's guardians.
This year, Lock is twen, ty and Peter is eighteen. After eight years together, there is no longer a distinction between cousins; their bond is as solid as that of biological brothers.
And just like a typical Spider-Man who hides his abilities, Lock didn't explicitly tell his parents or Peter about his powers.
However, he didn't deliberately hide his extraordinary strength, nor did he pretend to be a weak and easily bullied nerd.
Besides, with his two-meter height and 140 kg bulk, he really couldn't pull off the weak nerd image like Peter... but the Parkers and Peter never suspected anything.
After all, Lock didn't suddenly become that strong; he had been strong since childhood.
They just thought Lock was born with divine strength and loved working out.
After awakening all of Spider-Man's abilities and perfectly adapting to them, the first thing Lock did wasn't put on a costume and be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Instead, he put on a CS terrorist mask and went to the "outstanding" Hell's Kitchen to rob other criminals!
Relying on his absolute stats comparable to the original Spider-Man and his Spider-Sense that could predict danger, Lock could be said to have a bountiful harvest every time, quickly accumulating over a million U.S. dollars in dirty money from robbing other criminals.
But if you always walk by the riverside, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
His habit of robbing other criminals soon caught the attention of the underground emperor of Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin.
Kingpin used a huge transaction of illegal drugs as a trap, deliberately letting out the considerable amount and location of the deal to lure Lock into a robbery.
Lock naturally went; after all, making money is nothing to be ashamed of!
But Lock didn't fall into the trap.
He was greedy for money, but he wasn't foolish. Would he be stupid enough to jump straight into a trap that clearly looked like one?
A spider is a cautious and dangerous creature!
So while Kingpin's men were still pretending to trade and waiting for Lock to take the bait, Lock had already silently snapped the necks of all the gunmen lying in ambush!
Only then did he appear, easily dealing with the decoys who were still completely unaware.
He took the suitcase full of cash and set a fire to the illegal drugs they used for the fake transaction, letting the neighbors in Hell's Kitchen have a real blast!
After all, sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone!
But just as Lock picked up the suitcase to leave, a phone rang inside the case containing the cash.
Lock hesitated slightly. After sensing no danger from the suitcase, he opened it, took out the phone placed inside beforehand, and answered.
The call was from Kingpin.
But Kingpin didn't call to talk tough or threaten Lock.
Instead, he expressed appreciation for Lock's abilities and said he wanted to find a time to have a good talk.
He even said he could help Lock launder the money he had stolen from other criminals and arrange a "legitimate" job for him, so he wouldn't have to do this kind of work beneath his status, which didn't earn much big money.
After hearing this, Lock didn't answer Kingpin; instead, he crushed the phone in his hand.
However, the next day, he silently appeared in Kingpin's office at Fisk Tower.
After Kingpin returned to the tower, he pushed open the door and saw Lock sitting in his chair with his legs propped up on his desk, as if he were the master of Fisk Tower.
Kingpin's character was actually a bit like Cao Cao; although he was ruthless, he also appreciated talent.
Not only did he not feel dissatisfied with Lock's rude behavior, but he also laundered the dirty money Lock had obtained and helped Lock register an underground mercenary assassin identity under the codename "Poison Spider" in the underground world.
This gave Lock a "legitimate" identity in Hell's Kitchen from then on.
And since one lacked money and the other lacked manpower, they naturally entered into a long-term cooperation.
Lock would help Kingpin eliminate rival gang targets, and Kingpin would give Lock a handsome reward.
For example, for the recent bloodbath of the Neon Gang, Kingpin gave him a full ten million U.S. dollars in commission, plus the one million to apologize to Bullseye, totaling eleven million.
In his previous life, even if Lock drove a truck and hauled cargo for a lifetime, he wouldn't earn this money—not even the one-million-dollar fraction Kingpin paid to apologize to Bullseye!
