Seriously? You couldn't have chosen, say, Bucket-head, to torture? But I get it, you love me. Who doesn't love the Ultimate Spider? Just find me some icons, and a couple people or three to bug (Nova is still the perfect example, okay?), and we'll call it a day!

Winding up Buckethead is still my favorite hobby.

Oh, favorite, is it, Toothpick?

We've all got a talent. Mine's how fast I got you to turn up here.

Hmm.

It doesn't count as winding me up, though.

I thought I'd give Spidey the first shot, being his post and all that.

It's the best kind of entertainment out there, that's for sure.

[Not that he knows who you are, but if that's your hobby... You must be okay!]

You realize that I possibly don't even exist in his universe, right?

How many other Novas get nicknamed Buckethead by Earthlings? For that matter - other Novas don't really pay much attention to Earth.

I actually keep a list of things that I won't let him live down. There's photo references. I'm thinking of making a powerpoint presentation.

[Ahh, what a pity. He knows his universe's Spidey.]

Maybe he meant a Bucket-head that wasn't Nova? I dunno.

And, well, they don't, but that's probably for the best. You tend to be okay when the law enforcement doesn't have to pay attention to you, right?

You know, I'm not sure. I can call Angel and find out if Iron Man or Magneto ever get called Buckethead to their face.

Yeah no. When we get left alone, people start doing things like strapping Hulk into a rocket and shooting him into outer space.

Or letting Norman Osborn run a federal agency.

... actually, I think I was the sum total of the Nova Force for both of those. Was a bit tied up, I guess.

... sorry. I didn't think that one through.

Hey, considering both of those, I'm the one who should be apologizing.

Anyway. Hi, I'm a Buckethead, also known as Rich Rider or Nova. Blond Toothpick over here is Speedball.

[ Rich might not be aware how ironic 'Toothpick Speedball' might sound to Peter, but, well. Mun might be. ]

You doing all right and everything?

Is that a new meaning to having a 'bucket list?'

[Hopefully he'll get there! His mun is slow on the uptake as it is.]

...You are a different Nova than who I know. But it's nice to see the nickname is universal!

[He grinned at the idea of it.]

And I'm doing awesome! Never better.

Yeah? The Nova you know introduce him or herself, or just went by "Nova"? Which I've done, by the way, just curious.

And that's good to hear!

He has his civilian name, but I can't tell you that. Secret identity! What happens if you are some kind of super spy?

[...Hey, it could happen!]

I spend my days training and winding Director Fury up. There's never been more fun to be had in one day.

Accept what comes to you, my friend. There can be great wisdom in living in the now rather than agonizing over the might-have been. Also, the multiverse is possessed of excellent video games.

Oh hey dude, how's it going?

[He likes Danny. The only sane one of his friends. Even if he doesn't get what he says half of the time.]

I am, I am accepting it! It just keeps coming at me... Can only take so much.

[Harry just shruuugs.]

I dunno, I think I was a better Spidey than you. [Except for the part where he went nuts and started throwing cars and stuff, but... uh. Whatever. He's just saying it to tease Peter anyway.]

Harry, dude! You were not a better Spidey!

[That was the biggest insult. Because seriously?]

I totally rock at this. I just need a little... assistance every now and then. There's a lotta bad in this big, wide world.

Dude, you got turned into a pig. If that's "rocking at this"-- [And he even adds little finger quotes for emphasis.] --then I don't want to see what the bad is.

[What!? How did Harry even know about that? Someone told him. He was going to find out who if it killed him.]

...Yeah, well. That was Loki's fault! I didn't ask for it. Anyway, I won. I always win.

Ah! Nice one. Other things on my bucketlist include a happy face on the moon and a cat-carrying case that's reinforced with adamantium.

[Your standards for sanity are slightly worrisome, Peter Parker.]

It sounds like you may be having one of those great responsibility moments again.

[Sorry about that. Never seems to be fun.]

[Hey, he's got connections, man. Even outside New York. He's an Osborn. ~~Which pretty much just means his mun told him.~~]

No one asks to get turned into a pig, Pete. That's why it's bad. [He laughs a little.] Maybe, but you kinda lacked style.

[Oh, Pete, you really shouldn't be so much fun to tease.]
