So, I suppose this is an audition... I'll write a short couple paragraphs from Spidey's perspective. The setting's Manhattan, evening. It's snowing. The snow on the ground suggests it's been this way for a few hours at least. Spidey's on a routine patrol, just wrapping things up on his way home.
*It's easy to let this superhero stuff give you a big head. I mean, there are kids who dress up like me, wish they were me, buy action figures and Spider-Man bubblegum that I haven't seen a penny from. There are people who tell me they owe me thier lives, I'm asked constantly to appear in commercials and advertisements, and I have an Official Fan Club AND an Unofficial Fan Club. But don't let that stuff fool you. Being a superhero is incredibly humbling. Try wearing this get-up during a New York snowstorm when the wind chill's just shy of five degrees. Jack Frost is nipping at things he has no business being around.*
Two blocks away there's a woman screaming, alerting Spider-Man to the situation. He makes his way there lickety-split, only to find the Rhino using her as a hostage after robbing a bank.
*"Jeez, Rhino! Didn't I tell you to stop going on blind dates? You have to give a lady fair warning that she's gonna be sitting across from you for the next hour."*
"Yeah, yeah, you're a real jokester, but this here's serious! Tell the fuzz to vamoose or they're all gettin' flattened!"
*"I'll bet you your cute little grey one-zy that you'll be on your face before you get to any of them. Come on, you're a gamblin man, right?"*
"Aargh!"
Rhino lowers his shoulders and runs straight for Spider-Man, who does a front flip over Rhino's head. As he's flipping, he fires webs at Rhino's heels and yanks, effectively causing Rhino to crash face-first into the pavement.
*"Ouch... I have to get my teeth replaced every few weeks, I know a great specialist who will have your smile looking less like a checkerboard in no time. It was a stupendous fall, though. Top 10 in my book."*
"That'th it, bug breath! You're mine!"

Do you need anymore? Here's a link to an entire story I wrote, even though it was five years ago...:

I have other work, too. My knowledge of the entire Marvel Universe is extensive, but Spidey's my expertise. Questions are welcome.
