With Great Power

A homage to Raimi's Spider-Man (2002). The suit. The wrestling ring. The Goblin's first laugh.

Zachary on a Brooklyn stoop as helicopters circle
QUEENS BLED INTO BROOKLYN. ZACHARY SILVA WALKED HOME ALONE.
// NARRATION

Two weeks since the bite. Two weeks of catching falling fire escapes, of waking up on the ceiling, of pretending nothing was different.

// UNCLE BENNY

"Zach. Whatever this is — these powers, these choices — remember. With great power, there must also come great responsibility."

// NARRATION

He didn't listen. Not that night. He let the man with the duffel bag run right past him.

NO!
Zachary on a rooftop in grief
BY THE TIME HE GOT HOME, THE STOOP WAS WRAPPED IN POLICE TAPE.
// NARRATION

Uncle Benny was gone. And Zachary Silva understood — finally — what the bite had cost him.

// ZACHARY

"Never again. You hear me, Brooklyn? Never. Again."

Zachary in his red and black suit
HE STITCHED THE SUIT HIMSELF. RED FOR THE PROMISE. BLACK FOR THE GRIEF.
// NARRATION

But across the river, a man named Norman was losing himself to a green mist of his own design…

The spider hero chases a goblin on a glider
THE GOBLIN LAUGHED. AND THE CITY HEARD ITS FIRST REAL NIGHTMARE.
// THE GOBLIN

"We could have been gods, Spider. Instead — you'll bleed like the rest of them."

// NARRATION
