PETER (V.O.): Alright, people, let’s do this one last time. My name is Peter B. Parker...

PAGES FLIP FAST: "Coming next month! A Spider-Man from
another world..."

SPLASH PAGE: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

QUICK FLASHES, similar but not identical to the ones we saw in the cold open. High-energy running, fighting, leaping...

PETER (V.O.): ...I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last twenty-two years I thought I was the one and only "Spider-Man."

Peter on a gargoyle drinking coffee with the morning paper.

PETER: What a day...

PETER (V.O.): I’m pretty sure you know the rest.

INT./EXT. A rapid barrage of IMAGES from Spider-Man canon whiz by -- but with VARIATIONS and NEW SHOTS too. Instead of Uncle Ben on the bed, for instance, it’s AUNT MAY.

PETER (V.O.): You see, I saved the city, fell in love, I got married, saved the city some more, maybe too much, my marriage got testy, made some dicey money choices -- don’t invest in a Spider-themed restaurant...

We see a few FAST IMAGES of Spider-Man doing his thing but losing a step, swinging with coffee, etc.,standing in front of a shuttered TGISpideys, signing divorce papers, HOLDING HIS BACK, BAD INVESTMENTS, DOOR SLAMMING, GETTING HIT BY A DRONE.

PETER (V.O.): ...Then like fifteen years passed blah blah blah super boring, I broke my back, a drone flew into my face, I buried Aunt May, my wife and I split up. (then) But I handled it like a champion.

CUT TO Peter CRYING on the floor of the shower in his spidersuit.

PETER (V.O.): ‘Cause you know what? No matter how many times I get hit, I always get back up.

Peter’s slumped like a slug in bed, wearing his costume. His ALARM goes off -- he lifts up his mask and immediately pulls it back down. He refuses to shut off the alarm, so it keeps BLARING.

He watches TV. A nature show. Seahorses reflecting in his SAD SPIDER EYES.

PETER (V.O.): And I got a lot of time to reflect and work on myself. Did you know that seahorses that they mate for life? Could you imagine a seahorse seeing another seahorse and then making it work? (then) She wanted kids and it scared me.

Peter sits on the roof of a building looking at his phone, deciding whether or not to call MJ.

PETER (V.O.): I’m pretty sure I broke her heart. (beat) Flash forward, I’m in my apartment doing pushups, doing ab crunches, getting strong...

REVEAL PETER, with his costume half on, eating pizza.

PETER (V.O.): ...when this weird thing happened.

A TREMOR hits the room causing the same strange “color separation” we saw before. Peter’s whole body suddenly SHAKES AND VIBRATES as he LOOKS UP.

Where A PSYCHEDELIC PORTAL YAWNS OPEN, sucking him TOWARD IT -- his body FLIES UP, halftones more prominent.

PETER (V.O): ... And I gotta say, weird things happen to me a lot. But this was real weird.

Peter uses his limbs to fight but it's TOO STRONG... the portal CLOSES. The pizza slice drops on the floor.

INT. INTER-DIMENSIONAL PORTAL - CONTINUOUS

Halftone Peter flies SCREAMING through an INSANE MULTIVERSE, trying to PULL HIS MASK ON...

...he is falling towards a STRANGE KALEIDOSCOPE OF SPIDER-MEN, just like we saw earlier, towards the BRIGHT CENTER...

EXT. BROOKLYN - NIGHT

Peter EXPLODES IN AN ENERGY BURST OUT OF THE COLLIDER (the pulse from earlier that spread through Brooklyn after Spider-Man and Green Goblin fell into the beam).

Peter TUMBLES and CAREENS through a BLUR OF CITY and NIGHT SKY as his MOLECULES SOLIDIFY, finally coming to rest in...

TIMES SQUARE

Peter slowly stands, stares open-mouthed at STRANGE BUILDINGS, BILLBOARDS and STORES with close-but-not-quite-right LOGOS.

PETER (V.O.): ...You see I was in New York, but... things were different.

Finally Peter looks at a ticker-tape LED sign in front of NNN (National News Network-- a cable station): "NEW YORK’S HERO, SPIDER-MAN, FOUND DEAD AT 26"

PETER (V.O.): Also I was dead. And blonde. I was kind of... perfect. It was like looking in a mirror.

We cut from RIPeter to this new Peter, LIFTING HIS MASK. One slick and new, one old and BEAT UP.

CUT TO Peter at Spider-Man’s funeral. MJ gives her eulogy.

MJ: My husband Peter Parker was an ordinary person. He always said it could have been anyone behind the mask.

PETER (V.O.): I have a feeling the thing that brought me here, was the thing that got him killed. You wanna know what happened next? (beat) Me too.

We see Miles' "venom strike" again.
