Vigilantism was a lot more exciting when you were one of very few vigilantes around. In 2099, when the number of vigilantes was small and growing smaller each time Alchemax snatched one off the streets, Miguel’s nights as Spider-Man were a whirlwind of constant motion. There were more bad guys than he could possible handle, so many public eye goons that he barely escaped capture twelve times a night minimum, and so few people assisting him that he knew pretty much everyone’s full story by now.
In 2020, you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a vigilante somewhere. Miguel had run into so many now that he’d lost count, each meeting offering varied results. It meant he was a little less exhausted, a little less on edge. It meant, every now and then, he could take a breather. Right now, he was doing just that. Legs hanging off the side of the roof, mask pushed up over his nose, and taco from a local food truck in hand with a bag of four more at his side. His enhanced senses informed him he was no longer alone on the roof the moment boots hit concrete, and Miguel was hardly surprised when he glanced up to find another man, obviously a vigilante, standing a few feet away. “Not much happening out here tonight,” he called out experimentally, unsure whether this would be one of those guys who was decent or one of the ones who figured the world sucked and killing a guy in a spider suit might make it suck less. Miguel’s luck almost always inspired the latter. “Want a taco? Got extra.”
