What did I tell you? I said be sure to lock the case.

I thought I did. Sorry.

Come on, give the guy a break.

It's easy to forget little details like reef case locks after breaking into a vault.

Spider-Man!

Let's get out of here!

Man, oh man! Scum like you two buffoons are the reason why I can never get this city all cleaned up.

Here goes nothing!

You really didn't think you'd get away from me, did you?

Help me, please!

Spider-Man?

Oh yeah, he's done it again.

I'm sorry, it's easy to forget little details like reef case locks after breaking into a vault.

You really didn't think you'd get away from me, did you?

Spider-Man, don't you think you'd get away from me?

I needed some time to think. It sure didn't take you long to show up here.

When it comes to thinking, it's how deep one thinks that counts, not how long, Tony.

Like they say, when you know, you know.

It's been quite a while.

Good to see you, Avengers.

I'm sure things haven't been easy for you.

You're looking well. How are you, Janet?

Great, Hank. Thanks. You too.

We saw him on the computer screen the other day, remember?

Allow me to introduce to you Dr. Hank Pym.

He'll be helping us develop a dimensional portal device.

It's nice to meet you.

Hello, sir. Hello. How are you?

So, I take it these kids are your partners, the ones you said were implanted with the bio codes?

Yep. And these two here are Dr. Akatsuki's sons.

Their father is currently trapped against his will in another dimension.

We need to complete the device ASAP so we can bring him back.

Let me say this just so we're clear.

I'm here because I have a personal scientific interest in assisting with the development of a dimensional portal device and nothing more.

Hey, easy.

Despite that, I will of course do my best on this project.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to see the lab.

Right this way.

What's the deal with that guy?

Just goes to show that all scientific geniuses are hard to deal with.

Whatever the case. With him here, we'll have the portal device finished in no time.

Good.

It may be tough to deal with, but he's good.

He was caught up on what we've been doing around here in no time at all.

So he's still shutting the lab, I take it?

Yep.

Hey there. Just to get you up to speed, we're all going to school and studying hard each and every day.

Well, most of us are. Akira's better at falling asleep in class.

Hey, cut it out. He doesn't need to hear that.

Hey, Chris, why don't you come over and say something to him?

Don't really have anything to say.

Well, then come over here and take over the filming. I've got some things I want to say.

What are they up to over there?

They're making a video letter. They're going to send it to Spider-Man.

Video letter?

They wanted to keep him up to date with what's been going on with them.

Now are they going to get it to him?

They'll ask Peter Parker in New York to deliver it to him.

Everyone, take a look at this. Spider-Man's in the news.

Really? Whose butt did he kick this time?

Well, Spider-Man goes on another rampage.

Does some kind of monster now lurk beneath the mysterious mask of New York's beloved crime fighter?

Judging from his actions over the past several days, Spider-Man has completely lost it.

The once-adored webhead has become a menace to society?

This can't be right!

I know, but that's what it's saying.

Hold on. Doesn't the editor of the Daily Bugle hate Spidey?

The article's always put a negative spin on him no matter what he does.

This is nothing more than the latest slew of hate campaigning.

Normally I'd agree, but all the other new sites are saying exactly the same thing.

I think I may have found something. This site has video of him.

Whoa, look at that!

Someone who was just passing by shot this with their phone.

That's overkill.

And coming from you, that's saying a lot.

His costume, the colors!

Yeah, it's kind of drab. Did he get a new tailor?

Well, it's hideous if you ask me. Is that really even him?

Ah! Look at that! I give up!

Call the police!

You get a shot?

Hey, hold on. Did I say you could film me?

You need to go through my agent for permission.

And he says no!

No way!

What is he thinking?

I have no idea. I've never known him to be that aggressive.

Something's off here.

No! This video has got to be a fake.

Maybe this is an imposter out to ruin Spidey's good name.

It looks like the only way we'll get to the bottom of this is to speak to the source face to face.

He's right! We have to go to New York.

I completely agree, but I'd like to keep moving with the dimensional portal device.

Especially with Hank being here.

Oh, come on! How can you say that?

Hey, Cap. Will you handle this?

Of course. And I'll take Hulk and Thor with me.

Wait a second. So I'm staying behind, too?

You know Akira would throw a fit if he had to stay behind alone.

Aw. I have to babysit him?

I want to go, too!

Akira, it's best for me to remain here and continue working on the dimensional portal device.

You know I want nothing more than to rescue your father as soon as possible.

Hikaru, I have so many things I need to talk to Spider-Man about. It's important.

Yeah, I know. I'll tell him for you, I promise. Just leave it to us.

What I want to say is just this.

Tell him I believe in him.

Spider-Man's not a menace to society. There's just no way that's true.

He's like a totally different person, you know?

He destroyed the side of my house just to take down a super villain? What's that all about?

I was really scared, and I asked if I could shake his hand, and he told me, "Take a hike!"

Any luck?

No, none at all. Peter isn't answering.

And his work says he hasn't been in for several days. I wonder what's going on.

I just can't believe it. Not one single person had anything good to say about Spider-Man.

Yeah, it looks like that video was authentic after all.

Video? Hope they got my good side.

Spider-Man.

Look, it's itty-bitty Captain America. Back for a visit? It's been a while.

Man, what is it with those guys? Well, they do all day. They never actually catch any crooks.

They just blast their stupid sirens.

Chris?

Right. Come on.

Hahaha. Listen accomplished. Hey, drive faster, will ya?

Speeding is a crime.

Running a red light, too?

That's far enough!

Whoopsie!

Look out! It's coming!

Watch out, man! Watch out!

Chris, it's time.

You got it!

Accepted. Materializing.

Fight. Identity.

Captain America, de-smack!

Courage. Honored. Freedom and hope.

My job here is done.

What's the point of stopping criminals?

If the way you do it puts innocent citizens in harm's way.

Huh? What'd you say?

I take these guys off the street and you're lecturing me?

What do you think you are?

You've become too arrogant for your own good, Spidey.

Put a sock in it!

Spider-Man, stop this!

Time for you to wake up!

Spider-Man's attacking Captain America. This is madness!

How did things end up like this?

That's enough!

His power and his speed have increased dramatically.

What in the world happened to him?

A patrol car just radioed in that Captain America and Spider-Man are battling it out on the west side.

Understood. Thor and I will head there now.

Okay.

Web-slinger, what is he thinking?

He can't get through this way.

Shield throw!

Hey, Stars and Stripes, don't you have a time limit or something?

What a shame. I was thinking of having a pizza party 'cause I'm starving.

You know, I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that one.

You're so lame!

Catch me if you can!

Hey, hey! You're it!

He's just waiting for your time to run out.

Capp, look out behind you!

Now, now. Didn't your teacher ever tell you it's not nice to tattle?

Back off!

I don't want Hulk joining this party, so I'll take that.

No!

Ed, quick! De-smash me now!

All right!

Huh?

Run!

What?

Run!

Spider-Man?

Hurry!

Can't...hold on!

Enough of it!

Oh, no!

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

Enough of that!

Then you call yourself a partner of the Avengers.

Um, thanks for saving me. I appreciate it.

And you are?

Hey there, Black Widow. Long time no see. Look over me.

Happy to take you to dinner to catch up.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm actually here to bring you in, Spider-Man.

What an interesting proposition, I accept!

Aw, our very first date!

You're intense. I like intense.

Chris! Cap!

Hikaru! This way!

Unfortunately, my time is up. I'll leave the rest to Hulk and Thor.

Miss me!

How impressive!

I'm just getting started.

Man, you are persistent.

He got me.

There you are.

You guys, thank goodness!

Come on, this is no time for sitting around!

Hikaru, de-smash me!

You got it!

Accepting. Materializing.

Energy. Identity.

Spidey Thor!

De-smash!

For the glory of Asgard!

Wow, it's just one after another today.

This is some kind of surprise party.

I'm guessing you have a time limit too, right?

Indeed, but you need not worry. I will finish this before then.

There you are!

He escaped.

My name is Natasha Romanoff.

I'm a special agent working with S.H.I.E.L.D.

That's right, we've worked with her before.

Though we're used to calling her by her code name, Black Widow.

I would have remembered her.

Wait, does S.H.I.E.L.D. know something about what's been going on with Spider-Man?

It's Venom.

Venom?

An extraterrestrial life form.

It came to this planet a year ago embedded in a meteorite that fell to the Earth's surface.

So what exactly does this alien organism have to do with Spider-Man's strange behavior?

Venom itself is an amoeba-like amorphous creature with no power of its own.

However, it forms a parasitic relationship with other organisms.

Once that happens, the host's abilities are strengthened and amplified several times over.

I see. So that's why Spider-Man's stronger and faster than before.

And that's not all.

Venom eventually takes over the host's mind as well, giving them aggressive and violent tendencies.

So all of the out-of-character things that Spider-Man's been doing are because Venom's latched on to him.

And not because he wants to do them, right?

Most likely, yes.

Good.

But there's more to it than that.

What do you mean?

Since its capture, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been studying Venom in a controlled environment.

A few days ago, we were transporting it to another laboratory when the truck got into an accident.

After that, Venom disappeared.

Now wait just a minute. Are you suggesting that Spider-Man stole it?

He would never do that.

Having heard of Venom's power to enhance its host's abilities, he may have wanted that for himself.

The motive, the timeline, everything adds up.

That's ridiculous! I'm telling you, he's not like that!

Really? What makes you so sure?

Because he once told me. Something I'll never forget.

He said with great power comes great responsibility.

Don't you see? Spider-Man would never want power that he couldn't fully control.

That's why I'm sure.

Perhaps the power turned out to be greater than he thought.

And despite his own volition, he succumbed to it.

No!

Why, Ed?

When he was about to attack me earlier, he hesitated for a moment like he was struggling.

Run!

Hurry!

Spider-Man hasn't changed on the inside.

I sensed that he was suffering.

Suffering from what?

What do you mean?

I don't know how. But I felt it.

I'm just telling you what my bosses think. Don't blame the messenger.

Yes?

Despite it all, I still believe in Spider-Man.

I mean, he showed us the way.

There's no chance Spidey's evil.

And with that, it appears all three of you are in his corner.

It's not just the three of us on his side here. It's Akira. And Jessica, too.

It would seem that Spider-Man's at it again.

We have to stop him!

Shields decided to pull out all the stops. We won't be holding back anymore.

What do you mean by that?

In order to secure Venom, we'll have to bring in Spider-Man as well.

No matter what it takes.

Meaning S.H.I.E.L.D. will stop at nothing to catch him, is that what you're saying?

Even though he's struggling, you're going to fight Spider-Man no matter what?

Wait a minute, please!

What you're doing isn't right!

Chris, Hikaru, that's enough. Those are S.H.I.E.L.D.'s orders. She has no choice but to follow them.

But... if we don't do something...

It won't take much for this to get ugly. We need a plan, and fast.
