“Oh boy, do I have a story for you. My name is Mia Jocelyn James. You can call me Mia. I was bitten by a radioactive spider -a cute little peacock jumping spider– that had escaped in Oscorp Labs. And for the last, I don’t know, two? Two and a half? Whatever number of years, I have been Earth-418’s one and only Neon-Spider.”

“I’ve got two best friends, Penelope Parker, or Pen for short. And Greysen Stacy. We’re all juniors in high school and absolute nerds. Pen can tell you all you need to know about chemistry and crap, and Greysen is great at math, and he’s also the chief writer or whatever of the school paper. I excel in biology, if I do say so myself. After forgetting to hide the suit, Pen found it when we were doing homework, and she figured out I was Neon-Spider; she then decided to give herself the role of my ‘Girl in the chair’. No joke, I’d be dead without her; thank God for Penelope. I told Greysen myself after he confronted me about secrets and how I am terrible at hiding the fact I have them. Cue an emotional fight in the rain, that may or may not have ended in spilling more than just the spider secrets. (cough, we’re dating now, cough cough).”

“I’ve fought some people. Like a lot of people. Criminals just loved to do… criminal things, I guess. Like this one lady turned into a lizard! She was my science teacher too, my favorite teacher! Then she went to prison. I’ve fought a guy made of sand, this other science guy (he had robot tentacles), and this other scientist. (I’m noticing a trend; remind me to never become or become friends with a scientist (might be too late for that, curse you smart friends); too many of those people have tried to kill me.).”

“But I also saved some people. Okay, okay, I’ve saved a lot of people. From burning buildings, collapsed bridges, runaway trains. Muggings, robberies, hell, even saved this one guy from getting rabies in an alleyway when he came across a group of raccoons. I saved my best friends. My aunt Betty.”

"But I've also made mistakes and let people down. But I will never let that stop me from protecting the people and places I care about"
