Mr X is sitting on a chair clicking a button o a TV remote and keeps on changing channels, then suddenly the tv shows an alert message and pictures a turn around view o a
spider. He gets shocked and runs towards a huge shel where he has placed lots o bottles lled with the solutions o super powers o various super heroes. He picks up a bottle
and pours the solution on himsel which makes him turn to Spiderman. He gets excited looking at himsel, pulls a radio towards him and plays the Spiderman song and starts
dancing. While he dances to the rhythm o the song he accidentally spins his spider web on the radio and the web gets stuck to it. He tries to shake his hand in order to let it go
which also makes the radio make unny sounds but it never goes o. At last he gets irritated and swings his hand upwards causing the radio all on the lot o the ceiling which
makes radio stop playing. He decides to get back the radio, so he looks at his ngers and giggles and starts climbing the wall like spiderman. As soon as he reaches his hand to
the radio he sees a real spider. He screams looking at it and alls down. He runs towards the shel and picks up a bottle which has logo o Wolverine on it and pours it on himsel.
He turns into wolverine and slides out steel claws rom his knuckles. He charges towards the spider and punches the claws on it, but instead o killing the spider his claws gets
stuck to a pillar. He tries to pull it out but the claws are stuck too deep in, so he raises his leg on the wall and tries to pull it out with all his might, but instead the whole pillar cracks
and alls on him and squeezes him.
Filled with anger he approaches the shel and pours an other solution which makes him turn into Superman. Then he uses his lazer power which is released rom his eyes to
destroy the spider, but eventually the spider succeeds in dodging it, instead the pillars, ceiling and wall collapses over him. He pushes all the rocks over him with all his strength
which makes one o the rock hit the huge shel. The whole shel starts wobbling, he looks at the shel and gets shocked. A bottle alls rom the shel on him which makes him turn
to batman. Then many starts alling which makes him turn to dierent super heroes. He turns to wonder woman an looks at himsel and sees that he is exposed so covers his body
with his hands, then he turns into iron man, ater which he turns to Shaktimaan. When he turns to Shaktimaan he sees the spider sitting right on his nose, so he screams with ear
and the whole shel collapses over him.
Everything starts trembling, the foor around him collapses down towards the ear ths core leaving just a small piece o land where he is standing as captain america. Surprisingly
he sees even the spider has managed to crawl on that piece o land, looking at it he starts breathing rapidly with ear. He looks here and there and nds out there is no place to
run and screams out loud looking at the sky Piiiiiiiiiidddderrrrrrrr.
