Marvel: Devouring Souls, I Become the Deadliest Spider-Man

Bi De woke up to discover that he'd landed in Marvel. But this place had nothing to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe he remembered from the movies.

The Hulk was a crime boss with a whole litter of little Hulks. Tony Stark owned an entire city of steel and held all Six Infinity Stones in his hands. Captain America worked for Hydra, and the Goddess of Death, Hela, had taken Thor's place. As for Bi De, after a spider bit him, he didn't become New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The original owner of the body died, and Bi De only came back to life by taking it over.

The good news was that he had all the usual spider powers. The bad news was that his strength was a watered-down version of the real Spider-Man's. In exchange, he had another ability: devour souls and grow stronger permanently.

In Brooklyn's underground murder club, he devoured the souls of twenty-seven gang members without leaving a trace. When he walked out covered in blood, he happened to run into this universe's "Avengers," who were recruiting new members.

"You call yourselves the Supreme Council?" Bi De looked at the darkened versions of the superheroes before him and licked the lingering taste of blood from his lips. "Fine. Count me in."
