Peter Parker A.K.A. Spider-Man

To S.H.I.E.L.D. :

In regards to Superman; the first time I encountered him, he saved my life. He foiled the Sinister Six, and then told me the entire truth about himself. He even told me his real name.

The first time I encountered Lex Luthor, he shot me in the chest. The only reason I lived through that blast is because I happened to have a book tucked under my uniform.

The first time I encountered Nick Fury, he black-mailed me into a mission and pointed a gun at my head when I questioned his orders.

I was told that not all of the Avengers see Superman in the same light that I do, and now I see how divided we truly are when it comes to Superman. Luthor claimed that Superman could cause a civil war, and maybe on that note he was right.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. were to take action in trying to contain or kill Superman without case, many of the Avengers would stand against you. I say this as one of them; leave Superman alone. He was targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D. on the request of a man you knew nothing about; and in so doing you caused the worst incident this city has sen in months.

Though I will give SH.I.E.L.D. this, when it comes to bad people trying to use Superman to their own ends; yes he cold prove dangerous. Our encounter with the Psycho-Man will have made that abundantly obvious to me; though I still know that he is a good man.

He may come from a different version of Earth, and he may not be an Avenger; but in my eyes he is still one of US. His goal is our goal; his victories ours. So long as we have him on our side, we can't lose.

I am hereby recommending Superman for reserve membership into the Avengers effective of his compliance with General Nick Fury's orders to have him grounded.

END REPORT: PARKER, PETER

((AUTHORS NOTE: And with this chapter, the Avengers Case-file is closed. Now we see how Spider-Man has developed more trust with Superman that he does with Fury; and you can expect to hear the full story on just why Fury pointed a gun at Spideys head. Keep an eye open in the future as I am going to be refocusing my attention towards Superman and the Family Fantastic; so keep an eye open for Chapter 4 of that story soon. Until then, happy reading!))
