First off, I'd like to say that this issue is probably one of the best (If not THE best) Ultimate Spider-Man issue I have ever read.
Richard begins to explain what happened. Basically, when he found out he was going to start turning the Venom Project into a weapon, he started to have doubts.
First, Richard is the REAL Richard Parker. What happened is he decided not to get on the plane. Mary basically said that she would go over his head and sign the documents to turn over the Venom Project to Trask since he was being indesicive. Mary and the Brocks get on the plane. . .and the plane crashes.
During all of this, "Kaine" basically is about to give MJ powers. Then, all of a sudden, "Tarantula" comes out and beats the snot out of Kaine, telling him to leave MJ alone and that "this isn't why were created!" Anyways, Kaine wins the struggle and knocks Tarantula out.
Switch to Richard is watching young Peter with Ben and May and Richard is approached by the CIA. The CIA want Richard to work for them, continuing his bio work for both medicinal benefits AND weapons. They also tell him that Trask likely blew up the plane jsut to kill Richard. And the Conspiracy is revealed. . .they want him so they can keep an eye on Nick Fury and shut him down if he becomes too powerful. Richard eventually reveals himself to May. . .who basically hates him and tells him to never come close to her or Peter again.
Richard winds up going to reveal himself to Peter anyway, but the CIA guy stops him, saying that if he (Peter) knows Richard was alive, then Fury would know and it would completly destroy all of their secrecy.
So, Richard works for the CIA secretly and finds out some odd years later that Peter is Spider-Man and that he had an encounter with the Venom Suit. Peter keeps constantly asking why Gwen is still alive (Which Richard admits to being responsible for). We find out that Richard confiscated all of Connor's work on Carnage, and Peter starts yelling at him. Right then. . .Nick Fury shows up with an army of Spider-Slayers. Peter says he'll talk to him, but Richard says that all Fury wants is a fight. Right then. . .Gwen transforms into Carnage (Suprise!) and jumps out to fight Fury and the Spider-Slayers.
Then, May has a heart attack.
And finally, we switch back to Kaine and MJ. MJ is just opening her eyes when Kaine says to MJ that she has transforms and can now defend herself.
Comments? Holy crap, this was intense. I absolutley loved everything about it. . .except the last page. If MJ winds up with powers. . .they better be freakin' temporary. But the revelations with Richard were completely mind-blowing. I cannot wait until I read the rest of this arc.
5/5
