Synopsis for "Smack to the Future"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Superior Spider-Man #18
Spider-Man confronts his 2099 counterpart, who reveals that he knows that he's Peter Parker, making Otto curse himself for erasing Peter's memories and not being prepared for this kind of eventuality. They both fight in the middle of the street over Tiberius Stone until Tyler Stone contacts Spidey 2099 to reveal that Tiberius is indeed the focal point of the temporal anomaly. Meanwhile, the Horizon Labs team tries to warn Grady about entering the Time Warp, while he insists that everything will be fine since he made some adjustments.

The Spider-Men battle it out on the streets, where Otto tries to slash Miguel, only to discover that Miguel's suit is made from Unstable Molecules, to which Miguel calls Otto "Low-Tech", upsetting him to the point of lifting one of the limousines. Tiberius watches the fight and decides to use a miniaturized Spider-Jammer to nullify Otto's Spider-Sense, causing him to stumble and drop the limo on top of Normie Osborn, who got saved by Spidey 2099. Liz Allan argues with Spider-Man, which allows Miguel to take Tiberius into his custody.

Otto contacts his Spiderlings to put them onto search mode for Spidey 2099, while also search for Hobgoblin, afterwards, he receives a call from Anna Maria who offers her help for his doctorate but Otto replies that all of his equipment is at his lab in Horizon, to which he rushes there to avoid being taken by Allan Chemicals.

Spidey 2099 takes Tiberius to safety while Tyler reports that his existence is stabilizing. Miguel reflects that being in front of Tiberius means that his timeline will be restored, including Alchemax, the evil organization that rules his world, but he has the power of stopping that from ever happening, even if that means sacrificing himself, but doesn't realize that Tiberius overheard their conversation, connecting the dots to discover that he's with a time traveler and that if he saved him, it means that something big will happen to him in the future. He puts his theory to the test by jumping off the roof, forcing Miguel to jump and save him. Miguel stamps Tiberius onto a wall and shuts down his line with Tyler in order to download his personal A.I. LYLA so she can help him discover the connection between Tiberius Stone, Alchemax and Horizon Labs.

Meanwhile, Grady crosses the Time Gate to the day of the Alpha Incident, right during Peter's demonstration, only to witness Tiberius sabotaging the machines that made the incident happen, while the rest of the team wonders about asking "Peter" for help. Otto is removing all of his inventions from his lab, and bumps into Max Modell. Max and Hector try to tell "Peter" to keep his things until the issue with Allan Chemicals is done, but Otto doesn't want to take a risk with them. Max is shocked that he's not the man he hired and then is brushed off by Otto who receives a call from his Spiderlings warning him about the appearance of the original Hobgoblin, only that unbeknownst to them, is actually the Goblin King posing as him. Otto orders the Living Brain to send his equipment to Spider-Island II, while Max warns him that if he leaves, he will be fired.

Meanwhile, LYLA reveals to Miguel that Tiberius' acts of sabotage led to the actual destruction of Horizon Labs that led to the rise of Alchemax and that today is the day it will happen. Otto curses himself for all of his troubles in one day (he just got fired, the Spider-Bots are failing, his minions are useless, he barely worked on his thesis and his discoveries might be stolen by Allan Chemicals) and to top of that he receives a call from Mary Jane, only to brush her off very rudely after he catches Spidey 2099 swinging over.

Max discovers that Grady used the Time Gate right when Grady returns and reveals that the whole place is surrounded by Alpha Energy. Spidey 2099 arrives to confirm that all of this energy will destroy the lab but he can help them to stop this from happening, only to be knocked down by Otto, who then discovers the energy around them, while Miguel's watch warns them that the Temporal Event will occur in 16 minutes...

Synopsis for 2nd story

Reprint of the 1st story from
Superior Carnage #4
In a flashback to a few moments before, Spider-Man has his Spiderlings haul a furious Jameson to the safety of a bunker, disregarding him as a liability while smugly noting to himself that as always he is the smartest person in the room and that almost nothing surprises him anymore. Turning to his Spiderlings, Spider-Man tells them their opponents are the Wizard - a dying old man with only hours to live, and Cletus Kasady - who despite being bonded to the savage Carnage Symbiote was lobotomized and brain-dead. Sitting in the mayor's chair, Otto tells them he's estimated that it will take the Spiderlings seven minutes at most to subdue their adversaries, thinking to himself that none of the events that have transpired phased him in the slightest. However, when the Wizard, Klaw, and Carnage arrive, Otto notes that he is in fact somewhat surprised. The Wizard proclaims that the Frightful Four have taken city hall, but Spider-Man retorts that his Spiderlings are more than equipped to take out Carnage and Klaw, telling him to surrender. In response, Carnage throws a pair of shuriken that decapitate the two Spiderlings before they can react. As the Wizard and Carnage open fire, Otto barely dodges and scolds himself for forgetting that the Carnage symbiote doesn't trigger his Spider-Sense. However, when Carnage remarks that he's not Cletus Kasady but a "superior model", Otto is enraged by the appropriation of his epithet and attacks all three of them before they can react and causing Klaw to shoot his arm-cannon at Carnage, who ducks so that the blast blows a hole in the wall. As Carnage throws a grenade, saying it will take more than bad aim to stop him, Otto retorts that's why he had an opening created for his Spiderlings. The grenade detonates, launching Spider-Man into a wall as the Wizard orders Klaw to take out the Spiderlings. Thinking to himself that he'd never have thought the Wizard could have led the Frightful Four so effectively, he prepares to fire a web-line to yank off the Wizard's helmet but is disoriented by Klaw.

As Klaw's arm-cannon malfunctions, Spider-Man tackles the Wizard out the window and into the crowd of reporters and journalists, who immediately begin taking pictures and asking what his goals are. Spider-Man angrily reprimands the media for giving the Wizard the exposure he wanted, but is berated for attacking a feeble-minded old man. Seething, Otto webs up the Wizard in order to take the fight somewhere private. Holding onto the flagpole, Spider-Man tells the Wizard that he's lost and should surrender, but the Wizard infiltrates his mind to discover Spider-Man's secret identity, learning of Otto's brain-jacking. Spider-Man drops the Wizard in shock sending him plummeting to crash-land onto a parked car, where he remarks that his brain must finally be shutting down since he can't even read the right minds anymore.

Inside the city hall, the Carnage symbiote jubilantly takes over, killing the Spiderlings before turning to confront Klaw. Realizing something has happened to the Wizard, Klaw attempts to subdue Carnage, but his arm-cannon malfunctions as Carnage attacks. Outside, Otto berates himself for dropping the Wizard, landing next to him. Recalling how he was once in the Wizard's position, Spider-Man reveals his identity and tells the Wizard to get Carnage to stand down and then he'll let him see his son. Carnage abruptly slashes Spider-Man from behind, and Otto scolds himself for letting his guard down before radioing for backup. Carnage tells him help won't be coming, quipping that he originally thought the jacket was a pointless addition as he reveals he'd hunted down and removed the tongues of all the Spiderlings. Furious, Spider-Man attacks, but Carnage shrugs him off, saying that the weapons were fun but that nothing beats the taste of flesh. As Carnage transforms the coat into a flurry of tendrils, Spider-Man grabs the Wizard and urges him to take back control. Klaw grabs Spider-Man from behind and smashes him into a wall, not realizing they're on the same side as he prepares to explode Spider-Man's head. Carnage abruptly impales Klaw with some vibranium taken from the Wizard's arsenal, quipping that the metal is Klaw's one weakness and that he was waiting for the right moment to use it on him. As his body destabilizes, Klaw berates Carnage for ruining their plan when they were so close to winning, apologizing to the Wizard before exploding into a shockwave of sound that sends everyone flying.

As Spider-Man picks himself up, dazed, he sees Karl Malus - who he does not recognize - devoid of the symbiote and realizes that Cletus Kasady wasn't the host. Congradualting himself on a victory, Otto looks around for the symbiote, intending to contain it before it can find a new host. The Wizard interrupts his train of thought by asking if he's dead, having been drenched by a viscous crimson fluid that begins to cover his body and take over his mind.
