I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 572 The Spider Alliance Headquarters

Gwen and her friends quickly got their watches back at base camp. When they came out, Gwen was truly amazed by the vastness and wonder of the multiverse: the person in charge of distributing the equipment was Aunt May—and naturally, an Aunt May version of Spider-Man.

"I never dreamed there would be an Aunt May version of Spider-Man—and honestly, how did Aunt May even get bitten by a spider?"

Jessica listened to Gwen's words, paying no attention to the elderly woman's matter. She glanced at her watch and asked uncertainly, "This allows me to freely travel through the multiverse? I mean, as long as I use it according to the instructions?"

"It won't work in our universe. Earth 616 is protected by a strong physical barrier, so it's impossible to enter or leave freely. That's why we need to transfer through the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building."

Cindy explained it to Jessica briefly, and Jessica nodded, seemingly understanding, before looking at the various signs on the street. In a way, the League's headquarters wasn't much different from any other city; it also had all sorts of advertisements.

[Spider-Man Rescue Training - Learn how to properly rescue a lover thrown from a great height by an enemy, instead of strangling them with spider webs.]

"That advertising slogan looks weird."

“It’s a bit strange.” Gwen felt a chill for some reason, and then she heard a familiar, or rather, somewhat unfamiliar but very familiar, voice: “That’s because in most of the Spider-Man universes, Peter Parker’s first love is thrown off a great height by the enemy, and in most universes where this happens, his lover doesn’t have a good ending.”

Jessica looked over and saw a Spider-Woman dressed like Ghost Spider standing to one side, and nodded thoughtfully: "So that Peter kid really is Spider-Man."

"...She didn't know?"

Realizing what she had said, Spider-Gwen looked at Jessica. While Spider-Woman was fewer in number than Peter Parker, she was still a fairly common spider totem. Gwen, who had interacted with several Jessica Drews, had assumed Jessica also knew Peter's true identity, but now it seemed she didn't.

"I basically know, I guessed, but I'm lacking a little evidence."

"Okay... then I won't give a full self-introduction..."

If Jessica didn't know Peter Parker was Spider-Man, she certainly didn't know Ghost Spider was Gwen Stacy. So Spider-Gwen simply shrugged and introduced herself: "I'm Ghost Spider from Earth-65. By the way, it's a really good name, much better than Spider-Woman."

Jessica was speechless: "Is this name really that bad?"

"Um, it's hard to say, it's probably just a more intuitive observation." Gwen continued, "But you know, if there's only one Spider-Man universe, it's fine, but if there are multiple Spider-Man universes, especially if there's already a Spider-Man universe, and then there's also a Spider-Woman..."

"Would you think she's his sister?"

The other three people had big question marks above their heads. How did they come to this conclusion?
“Batwoman is Batman’s cousin, Supergirl is Superman’s cousin…so people might think Spider-Woman is Spider-Man’s sister or something.” Jessica added, “And I am indeed two years older than Peter.”

“Let’s skip this topic,” Gwen sighed. “Peter was dragged away by Miguel’s double-door refrigerator, saying he needed to talk about some things. We’re not very familiar with this place either. Could you show us around?” “Sure? To be honest, there are quite a few fun places in headquarters. I can show you around.” Spider-Gwen added, “But if we’re talking about really fun places, it’s going on adventures to recruit people in different universes. Seriously, that’s much more interesting than wandering around here. Have you ever been to the Cartoon Universe? All the characters there are Disney-style. Spider-Man is a pig.”

Peter and Miguel took the elevator together from the central station. As they descended, Miguel explained the last strange case.

"Besides those universes that the web of fate doesn't want us to enter, there is finally another kind of universe, one that you are very familiar with."

"Earth 616, right? It has a powerful barrier to reality, an impenetrable universe."

"Not entirely. Earth 616 is indeed one of them, but not the only one."

The model displayed on Miguel's watch quickly separated into several special universes, or more precisely, three.

"This is your universe, Earth 616, the place where the barrier to reality is strongest. This is Earth 199999. We have observed that this universe is very special; it does not produce any cosmic variants at all. Everything in this universe is unique."

Earth 199999... Oh, the MCU cinematic universe. According to the established lore, that universe, before Kang was killed, was bound by the TVA and the Sacred Timeline, therefore it wouldn't generate any time branches and was a completely independent universe. Until Kang's death, no universe similar to the MCU would appear.

From this perspective, it's not unreasonable that Earth 199999 possesses a powerful reality barrier, and it might even be different from Earth 616's reality barrier. Earth 616's barrier was set up by Kang, a remnant, and is fundamentally impossible to break through. After listening, Peter simply said, "Let's not worry about it for now," and moved on to the next topic.

"What about the other one?"

"The other one... I find it very puzzling. Judging from its fluctuations, it's almost identical to your universe, you could say it's a variant universe belonging to Earth 616. But we've explored quite a few variant universes of Earth 616, which is why its intensity is so perplexing. Simply put, I can't find a reason why this universe is so special."

After Miguel finished speaking, he added, "But after discussing it with several scientists and Spider-Men in the Alliance, we came to a possible conclusion: it is very likely that this universe is not simply a variant of Earth 616, but a kind of control group, a corresponding existence, which is why you are so special."

Peter had a vague sense of unease, and he asked in return, "What about the cosmological designation?"

He hoped it wasn't a universe number he was familiar with, because the more famous a universe number was, the bigger the trouble that universe would be in.

But Miguel clearly wouldn't bring him good news.

"Based on vibrational frequency, the cosmological designation is..."

—1610.
