(Home universe #1109, a universe very similar in continuity to universe #138, home of Spider-Punk.)

"Alright, you've probably heard this one before, but this'll be interesting, I promise. Let's do this one last time. My name is Will Riley. I'm a 17 year old with Spina Bifida, a physical disability. I was NOT bitten by a spider of any kind, and yet for this past year and a half I've been my world's and only Spider.

Though it wasn't always that way, I certainly wasn't the first. The hero of this world was heroic revolutionary named Hobie Brown, The Punk Spider. He was a real leader, totally inspiring. Everyone loved what he had to say, really rallied the city behind him. I was one of them. Sure I didn't have fancy powers or nothing but I helped where I could and felt like I was really making a difference.

That was until... that day. After repeated efforts to quiet our sound of freedom failed, Norman Osborn, the PRESIDENT OF THE USA decided on testing a new biochemical enhancer, on himself. (Talk about desperate.)

Whether it went right or wrong, depends on a lot of things. Who's side you're on and what your beauty standards are after that. One thing is for sure, that Goblin went on a tear. The Punk Spider tried but... he... fell.

The city was in chaos, and not the good kind. And no one was doing a damn thing about it! So... it was my time. I decided this was my chance. If no one was gonna be the new Spider, I'd do it myself. So, after some training at some local martial arts and boxing gyms and some time putting my chemistry skills to work making my own web fluid, I've begun hitting the streets. Spina bifida sure don't make it easy, fighting crime, but nothing worth fighting for is easy...
