Chapter 40: Gwen in Over-the-Knee Boots Is Way Too Cool! Another Iconic Spider-Man Scene?

After Spider-Man's third round of battle with the Green Goblin at school, the Green Goblin fled through the sewers.

Before escaping, he boasted that he would purify this world, create more super soldiers, and let the North American military see his power!

"Yahahahaha! I'll show them just how powerful the warriors Osborn mass-produces are!"

"I want to see those military orders! I want my warriors spread across the globe!"

Norman Osborn originally researched the super serum because he wanted to cooperate with the military, thereby making Osborn Group an unshakable commercial empire.

Later, the super serum's instability caused the military to reject him, and Norman Osborn was forced by the board of directors to step down, leaving the enterprise he had personally founded.

That was what led to the series of revenge that followed.

The executives were all killed by Norman Osborn, and next came the Green Goblin's greatest obsession—producing super soldiers!

Proving his strength to the military in front of everyone!

Not cooperating with him, Norman Osborn, is something you'll regret!

Peter heard this plan and immediately sensed something was wrong.

He had once stolen web-shooter materials from the Osborn building and seen related files there.

The super serum can spread through mist, and anyone infected will turn into monsters like the Green Goblin!

Is this guy planning to use the entire New York City as his stage?

"Gwen! I'm going to the Osborn company to get the serum and stop him. You hurry and tell your dad, try to evacuate the area around the Osborn building! It's very dangerous over there!"

"Peter!"

Gwen had no time to stop him—Peter fired a web and was already charging toward the Osborn building.

Just then the police arrived at the school, and Gwen told her father George everything.

George told his daughter to go home, while he himself led officers to rush to the Osborn building to arrest Norman Osborn.

Gwen, not reassured, took advantage of a patrol officer's inattention, snatched his motorcycle, and rode toward the Osborn building.

"I'm really sorry, I'll return the motorcycle!"

This scene is one that neither the "02 version" nor the "Amazing" version had.

Gwen Shi Daixi, in over-the-knee boots, riding a police motorcycle at breakneck speed—she's absolutely gorgeous and badass!

Compared to the 02 version's female lead MJ, who only knew how to scream and was fickle, falling in love with everyone,

the new version of Spider-Man's motorcycle girl Gwen is simply too cool!

Spider-Man, relying on his web-swinging, arrived at the Osborn building first and was just about to fly in to investigate.

Suddenly, a flying dart cut his web!

The Green Goblin cackled as he flew over and slammed him hard toward the ground!

Spider-Man fell from a height of over ten meters, crashed into an innocent car, and slammed onto the ground.

Even though things were already miserable, Peter still maintained his usual optimism.

"Oh, my back! My back! When this is all over, I definitely have to go to a Chinese massage therapy shop for a massage."

The motor-mouth Spider had just finished complaining when several green, oily monsters surrounded him.

They turned out to be test subjects created by the Green Goblin! They had already inhaled the Green Goblin's spray, grown scales on their bodies, and become goblin-like monsters!

"Wait, you can't beat me so you make helpers? Do you dare fight me one-on-one?"

Spider-Man complained as he fought the numerous Green Goblin monsters.

Knowing they were all innocent humans, Spider-Man didn't want to kill them and could only try to restrain them with his webs.

At this time the police also arrived, evacuating the crowd while helping Spider-Man fight together.

They no longer treated Spider-Man as a criminal—Spider-Man is New York City's hero!

Meanwhile, Gwen, through her internship experience at Osborn, had come into contact with the lab's healing serum.

She worried Peter couldn't spare a hand dealing with the Green Goblin, and wanted to help him find the antidote as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the chaos to break into the Osborn building, Gwen successfully got the serum in the lab, and just as she was about to leave, the grinning Green Goblin appeared before her.

A jump-scare-like moment straight out of a horror film suddenly startled the audience—a little prank from director Marc Wei Bu.
