Okay, let's do this one last time...
My name is Bodi Barker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, as my father was before me, and his father was before him, and for 10 years now I've been the one and only Spider String.
...Well it's actually more like 6 since I changed my name from what Dad and Grand Dad called themselves, Spider-Mastiff. But the Spider part is definitely 10.
I don't know if you know the rest but if you don't I'll gladly tell you! I saved the village, had a big argument with dad about the no music rule, left it to become a musician, met my idol Angus "M.J." Scattergood, met his pal Venom, I saved his city, saved the village again, got music allowed again. a band with other superheroes iron vixen and the goat thing, band broke up again, stopped the kingwolf from destroying the village again, fell in love with Francine Stacy...
...that didn't end well.
After that, The band got back together, I stopped a reality TV from tearing the world apart, became a mentor to super powered singing trio, made a movie trilogy, band broke up again, dad and I had some bonding time as spider men, realized that the one I loved all along was Angus Scattergood, had a fun time together with the symbiote.
I'm not sure if my idenity is a secret per se since everyone in the village knows Spider-String is me, and so does the band, and a select few others, but not anyone else besides them.
Mom dosen't know either. How could she? She died when I was young. She's not the only one to die though. Do you by any chance remember Francine Stacy? Also known as Lil' Foxy? Also also known as Captian Mandoo? Yeah, that didn't end well. She died trying to protect me from Linnux the Kingwolf. I almost lost Angus too thanks to the wrath of Carnage Hazel, but thankfully i was stopped in the nick of time.
But hey. Like I said it wasn't all bad! Yes things may be down But like Angus would say "when you hit rock bottom there's nowhere to go but up. I'm the first guy to ever say that. totally." He's my husband now. And even though the band still isn't back together just yet Germur seems to be willing to talk and Darma seems to at least be texting me again. My relationship with my father has also improved a whole lot and I managed to help him start up a news making company now that the wolves aren't our enemies any more.
Sure sometimes I still get knocked down, but I always get back up. Because after all this, I still love being Spider-String and I love my village, and my husband, and music, and being the one and only Spider-String.
Or at least I thought I was.
Turns out while it is true I'm the one the one and only Spider-String, I'm not the first Spider-Man. I'm not the first verse, and no verse is exactly the same as the first (from what I hear). After an incident involving "B" and Gwen though the whole verse was broken up. I'm supposed to help stop the anomalies in question no matter what! That's what Miguel tells us anyways. especially wants us to help get rid of anyone who disrupts canon events. Sometimes I use my guitar to stop them, other times I just web em up. When I do a good job sometimes he rewards me with a head pat.
Other times the spider woman would my stomach. Sadly, she's been a bit more cold lately...but I suppose that I can't blame her. After what Jessica's lost? I can't help but feel bad for her. Miguel has had it much worse. But it's necessary so that the natural balance of the universe can stay safe. These "canon events" are a harsh but true fact of reality. I was doubtful of it myself but he showed me what happened when he tried to stop one.
Then for the first time in my life I started to question if Miguel's way was really the right way. This kid was the original anomaly? He hasn't even graduated from high school yet! He didn't deserve it. All he wanted to do was help others! It's not his fault. It's the radioactive spider that came from the wrong world into his! I wanted to sing a song to help him feel better but before I knew it...the blast hit and the others were on a chase. All of them except fellow rockstar Hobie, who officially announced his resignation.
After It was then I began to wonder something.
What was my "canon event"? Was it the loss of a mother at a young age? No, as sad as that was I hadn't become the Spider-Guard yet. Canon Events only take place as Spider-Guard. So by that logic, it must have been the sacrifice of Captain Mandoo. That made some sense. She was a "Stacy". Things don't usually end well for a "Spider-Man" and a "Stacy". Then again usually it's a "Stacy" and a "Parker". "Barker" is only one letter off though. The newest recruit, Gwen, lost her Pete after after all.
Still, Miguel never told me exactly and with the others it was told right away. So I decided to take a look for myself. After all, he was to busy focusing on Miles with the others. I'm sure if he didn't mind if I took a little look. I don't know why I'm so nervous. I mean it's not like it's anything I have to worry about. My canon event has already likely come to pass, right? Francis. We may not have been romantically close, but a sacrifice like that? I'm sure that it had to be it!
...But it wasn't. In fact, to my horror my event hadn't happened yet. And to my horror, it involved the death of both my dad and my husband dead in a car accident thanks to two overly obsessed red pandas with hte powers of Quick Flash and the Scarlet Witch of Earth-616. It was an accident they'd say, but I could care less about that. What was more horrifying to me however was the implication of what Miguel wanted. He wanted me to lose the two people I care about the most. My father and I may not have had the best relationship but we were finally starting to bond again after years. And Angus. Yes his Venom-ized self could be a lot to handle, but we were going to adopt a child soon.
And Miguel was telling me to just throw that future away? Two lives or the entire universe. Now I know how Miles felt. So you know what...I'm quitting too. Call me an anomaly if you want but I'm not going to lose those I hold dear. I may have lost the band, but I'm NOT losing my friends. I don't think I can help with the Miles situation. But I'm postive that Gwen will form a band of her own to stop it.
And as for me, I may have a few other spider friends who can help me out...
