Crossover Fan Fiction Main Page

Authors Note:
This is mostly Marvel universe without most of the super villains. Kingpin is there, Spider-Man is there and The Shadow are there. Most of the baddies are Shadow types. Secret organizations, Drug lords, Crime kingpins etc.

In my stories it is modern day. The hat and cloak of The Shadow is worn not by Lamont Cranston, but by his grandson: Stephen Cranston.

Lamont has died, and the role was taken on by his youngest son Victor, who has retired from the 'nightlife' and Victor's nephew Stephen has taken over.


Chapter 1

  In a large room on the top floor of a skyscraper in New York, a huge man in a white suit looked out an enormous window at the city.

  Looking at him, you wouldn't think that he was the biggest crime lord in history, but he was. He was the Kingpin. This man ran all the organised crime in the world. Whatever he wanted he got. But lately something had started putting a dent in his empire. His sub-bosses, whom he had put in charge of some of the overseas empires, began to question his ability to lead. This displeased him. And when he was angry, heads rolled. Literally. Fortunately, he was not angry yet.

  And so, he had called his sub-bosses together. They now sat around a huge antique wooden conference table. He was showing them a video. The video showed the object of his problems. Two young men were fighting back to back. They were fighting a tidal wave of opponents, they were outnumbered forty to two and they weren't even working up a sweat. One was wearing a full body suit of blue and red with a full-face mask having eye lenses, and silver bracelets (known as web-shooters). The other wore a black suit and gloves, a black slouch hat and a black cloak with a red lining. His face masked with a red scarf.

  Both of them were moving faster than the eye could follow, making mincemeat of some of the Underworld's prizefighters. Kingpin knew this; he had sent them after the two heroes. The tape ended. The film was replaced with a close up shot of the two men's masked faces. The Kingpin was about to speak when one of his sub-bosses, the one in charge of his workings in the Orient, Kingpin believed, leapt to his feet and hissed the words:

  "Ying Ko!"

  The man who had spoken was named Kuba Khan, and he was going to start the next confrontation in a war between The Khan and The Shadow. Khan spun and started out of the room.

  "Khan" Bellowed The Kingpin, "Where are you going?"

  Khan turned back to the table and said, "To destroy Ying Ko. The Shadow has been the archenemy of my family for the LAST 7 DECADES. I will be the one of my lineage to finally defeat him, and END The Shadow dynasty!"

  "You will not do a thing as long as you work for me."

  "Then I will not work for you anymore. And when I have killed the man who stands between the world and I, then I will take the world and rule from the hidden empire of Sianking. What you in the west call Xanadu." Khan snapped quickly.

  And with that, Khan was gone. The Kingpin had lost control of all the Far East. He was starting, just starting, to become angry now.
