Chapter 1202 Hero Name

Murdoc? Hathi made a mental note of the name.

During dinner, Heather did not mention Murdoc's name to the Bennett family. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. He just told his aunt that things had been a bit uneasy lately. It seemed that a Mexican gang had clashed with the main gang, and it was expected to last for a while.

Sure enough, when the aunt heard this, she was terrified and asked Claire and John not to go out at night during this period despite their protests.

Because he concealed the shooting incident, Peter was scolded by Uncle Ben and Aunt May all night long, and he was a little dazed in class the next day.

Ned and his gang temporarily stopped their activities after the police found out that they had committed several crimes. Ned himself tried to cause trouble for Peter and Heather several times, but was blocked by Flash from the football team. Flash even beat Ned up twice.

Of course, Flash would bully Peter from time to time, but not in the malicious way that Ned did. Instead, he would punch Peter on the shoulder without any strength when they met and said hello, or ask Peter to be his personal photographer when he bullied others (Peter of course disagreed and started to scold him, so he would get punched twice by Flash).

"So, Flash Flash and you have known each other since childhood? Your relationship doesn't seem like a school bully vs. an invisible nerd, but more like Fat Tiger and Nobita in Doraemon."

During lunch, Heather teases Peter.

Peter shrugged his shoulders: "Flash is different from Ned. He is either a bad person or a brainless person. He gets emotional when I mock him."

“你好歹管管伱那张嘴。闪电弗莱士十次揍你有九次是因为你把他喷破防了。”海瑟用叉子卷起几根意大利面，上面沾着的番茄酱还没有约翰舔过的盘子上残留的多。中城高中在食品方面从来不让海瑟感到意外，发挥一如既往的稳定。

At this time, a figure with a fragrant breeze sat down opposite Heather and Peter.

"Hi, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Gwen."

Gwen put a medium-sized lunch box on the table and frowned as she looked at the two people's plates. "Did you buy tomato pasta from Pizza Hut? How could you eat that?"

"Sister, this is the lunch that our Central City High School is proud of. Have you forgotten?" Peter swallowed a shriveled broccoli with difficulty.

Heather forked up a piece of something that looked like a fried sausage or a thin shoe heel. "Want to try it? It's delicious."

Gwen shook her head repeatedly. "Thank you for your kindness. I have brought my own lunch since sixth grade. I'd better leave this delicacy to you."

Since the shooting, Gwen has gradually become familiar with Heather because she often visits Peter.

Heather then discovered that Gwen Stacy, the iceberg goddess in the eyes of countless boys, was actually a chatterbox, and her mouth was even more poisonous than Peter's. Her usual iceberg goddess attitude was half a disguise and half her true attitude towards those boys. For some reason, her attitude towards Heather was unexpectedly close.

The three chatty people got together and soon became close friends.

Although Gwen and Peter are not related by blood, Gwen has always claimed to be three months older than Peter, and has always been in a relationship of suppression between the older sister and the younger brother. In addition, Peter's dream lover Mary Jane is a good friend of Gwen, and Peter hopes that Gwen will speak well of him. Therefore, whenever Gwen appears, Peter will automatically restrain his chatterbox nature, and then the scene will become a topic of debate between Heather and Gwen.

Today is no exception.

"It feels like there are more and more superheroes and supervillains these days."

Gwen opened the lunch box and found a homemade lunch box with balanced nutrition and mostly vegetarian dishes. Since her mother passed away, Gwen has made her own lunch box every morning, and sometimes she would bring one to her father, George Stacy.

Heather used a fork to stir the noodles on the plate. "Isn't this normal? Ever since Captain America Steve Rogers dominated the battlefield 70 years ago, there will definitely be more super villains appearing when super heroes appear. And the strength of super heroes determines the strength of super criminals who face them. This is simply the universal truth."

"That's not necessarily true. Does Iron Man have a corresponding super villain?"

"The punk girl in the shooting incident that day shot Iron Man down from the sky with just two shots. It was easier than Peter eating Bear Pretzels. If I were Iron Man, the first thing I would do after returning would be to create a file for that punk girl and research corresponding countermeasures. I would even develop a special iron suit to deal with her. I've even thought of a name for it - [Anti-Punk Girl Armor]."

Gwen disagreed: "It's ugly, Tony Stark wouldn't use such an ugly name."

"If you say names are ugly, is there any nickname uglier than Ghost Spider?" Heather rolled up a few noodles and put them in her mouth.

"Ghost, Ghost Spider, what a great name, isn't it? It's nice to hear, easy to remember, and catchy. What's wrong with it?" Gwen said unconvincedly after swallowing the sweet corn kernels in her mouth.

"That little bug may be very capable in combat, but he's a complete novice when it comes to naming."

Heather raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly:

"Spider-Ghost positions herself as a good neighbor of New York City and takes a people-friendly approach, so she must not allow her image to be tarnished or deviate from the aesthetics and values ​​of the general public.

Adults hope that superheroes will set a good example for their children, but look at the name of that little bug? Ghost Spider will make people subconsciously resist it at the first time, thinking that this is a giant spider that is difficult to touch, moves secretly, and seems to be waiting for prey in the dark. She might as well be called Spider Woman, which is at least more normal. "

While Heather was talking, Gwen pursed her lips again and again. She tried to refute several times but couldn't come up with any tenable reason. In the end, she could only sullenly poke the food in the lunch box with her fork. After a while, she asked, "Does the ghost spider have no advantages?"

"Of course not. She does not receive any salary or ask for any reward. She fights against the dark side of New York City all by herself. For this reason, I sincerely admire her. She is a lady of noble character and you can't help but be impressed by her personality."

Gwen's lips curled up slightly at this, and then she heard a 'but' escape Heather's lips.

"…But she must not be doing well in real life."

Gwen was unhappy when she heard this: "You are just making groundless guesses, there is no basis for this!"

"Think about it, Gwen. What kind of woman can fly around New York City every day? She doesn't work? She doesn't take care of her family? She doesn't have housework to do, friends to see, or parties to attend? How miserable must a woman be to have to devote her energy to being a masked hero and doing good deeds? I would say she would...Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Gwen stood up angrily, closed the lunch box, and turned away: "I'm full, bye!"

Peter dared to speak at this time: "She seems to be a fan of Ghost Spider?"

Heather smacked her lips in satisfaction. "I haven't even talked about Ghost Spider's source of income and the feasibility of advertising revenue. Peter, do you have any plans after school this afternoon?"

"I'm going to go to Dr. Connors. His project is about to have phased results, and I want to participate in it as much as possible."

Peter's academic performance was second only to Heather, especially in physics and chemistry. He was selected by Dr. Connors as an experimental assistant six months ago. This was also the reason why he often disappeared after school.

"Well, you're a busy man too."

Heather nodded, it seemed that she would have to rent a house by herself.

As he was about to graduate from high school, Heather planned to use the money he had saved from writing to rent a small apartment in Queens. He was about to turn 18, and it was time for him to live independently without the care of his family and friends.
