Synopsis for "Stand Tall"
The story starts with Spider-Man looking down in shock at Ground Zero shortly after the North Tower of the WTC has collapsed in the wake of September 11th, 2001, and finds himself unable to speak, to comprehend...to forgive. He web-slings down as the dust cloud spreads through Manhattan and runs into a couple who blames him for letting the tragedy happen. Unable to tell them what happened, Spider-Man decides to walk straight into the dust cloud, thinking that no one could ever comprehend such anarchy. Only the madmen of Al-Qaeda could have done it.
Walking among the rubble, he sees various firefighters and even superheroes, including Captain America, Thor, Daredevil, and Thing, helping out, so he starts helping Cyclops out. They are all there, even if you may not know it. Even supervillains such as Magneto, Juggernaut, Doc Ock, the Kingpin, and Doctor Doom, have come to the wreckage. These people, once enemies, are now seen as friends, because they realize that this is simply inhumane, because they realize this is not right. These five don't appear to do any actual work, save for Magneto who is lifting a few steel beams, but they are clearly sad, with Doom even shedding tears.
Spider-Man then reflects on the heroes of 9/11, who were not superheroes but just ordinary people. The firefighters, racing without hesitation into the carnage that only a few would survive. The civilians, who either got people away from the building, brought people into other buildings to protect them from the dust cloud, or worked together to take down Flight 93. He thinks of the murderers and those who say America deserves it. Those that fell to their deaths on television. Those that conquered mosques and made people worship their form of Islam.
Spider-Man then comes upon a young kid, who is sitting quietly outside the rubble. He tells him that he needs to leave and not see the terror that has arisen, but the kid says that his father had gone in there to get something, and had told him to wait outside until he came back. He has been waiting patiently since in the hopes that he survived. But as they talk, the father, revealed to be one of the firefighters, is taken out of the wreckage - dead. As the kid goes to mourn, Spider-Man feels that he is among the least deserving. Deaths of innocents results in the death of innocence. Rage is now able to block out the sun.
As Spider-Man goes to get some water, a wounded yet conscious woman is taken away on a stretcher. Out of shock, she clutches Spider-Man's hand and asks him repeatedly why did this happen, but he truly can't speak this time. He then stands together with Captain America, and realizes that only Captain America knows what it's like to feel such pain. Pearl Harbor, the Holocaust, D-Day. Spider-Man can't comprehend going through this all over again.
Together Captain America and Spider-Man look at the lucky civilians. Spider-Man wonders what to tell their children about evil now. How to tell them about a thought behind any face, one that will always give them nightmares. Maybe they should tell them sorry. Sorry for not making this world perfect. That we need to listen to good instead of speak it. That the burdens of one are the burdens of everyone. Or maybe we just tell them we love them. In a world where they love materials more than people, it may seem insubstantial. But it is always needed to just move on.
