[The young man who appears on screen looks an awful lot like, to those familiar, a spider-themed Kon-El. To those not, it's just some dude in a blue and red spider-themed outfit with floppy, boyband-esque hair.]

Hey there everyone out there. Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Boy here. I seem to have come in not so fashionably late to the party. Figured I see I'd I could get some kind of Cliff's Notes for what's gone on so far.

[As he paces, the background makes it pretty clear he's walking on a ceiling instead of the ground]

Yeah, I know, I can probably just backtrack through everything. Might do that anyways. But a primer would be useful. Heck, I'm willing to settle for an abstract.

So hit me. What do we know beyond what Aurora told us?

Wait, there're adding Spider-Kids to the team now? How many wallcrawlers does it take to protect one burrough?

Re: Text UN: definecat

[arach_kid]

...one? How many other Spider-People do you even know?

[definecat]

Two guys both calling themselves Spider-Man, although one's barely more than a kid. I know there's a Spider-Woman. At least one. Does Black Widow count? I like her and her partner.

[arach_kid]

Okay, either this is an alternate universe thing on top of all the other alternate universe things amready going on, or I need to call my lawyer when I get back home.

Probably the first one if you don't know who I am. My publicist is a lot of things, but bad at his job ain't one of 'em.

[definecat]

I've seen the friendly neighborhood shtick. The OG Spidey and my parent go way back.

[arach_kid]

Huh, go figure. What's your parent like? Maybe I've got a version of 'em back home.

[definecat]

He and his partner like to call themselves a lethal protector. But they usually only really hurt people who had it coming.

[arach_kid]

White skull shirt and blonde hair ringing a bell then? Goin' by the name Castle?

[definecat]

Not that one. Venom's more of a two-for-one deal.

[arach_kid]

...please tell me Venom's not a non-Newtonian organic fluid that can possess bodies.

[definecat]

It's more of a symbiosis thing.

[arach_kid]

...okay, so there actually is someone like that back home. Bad news is they're called Bizarnage, and the worse news is that name is entirely earned.

[definecat]

I can't really say I'm surprised. Not all of my kind are particularly well-inclined towards humans and other sentients.

[arach_kid]

The whole being a clone thing probably didn't help any either. Nobody knows better than me how much that can screw with a guy's head.

Unfortunately I showed up too late to smack the idiot who had the bright idea to do it.

[definecat]

On some level, all of my kind could be considered clones. Asexual reproduction is just like that.
