Hey, what's Spider-Man doing in this part of town?

Get lost.

- Take a hike! - Get out of here.

My new neighbourhood.

There's no place like home.

Come on, Parker. You've only just moved here.

Give the place a chance. It might not be so bad after all.

Uh oh, who am I kidding?

Spider-Man, please let me...

He's about my age.

Why is he ruining his life for a few bucks?

Have I battled so many super villians

that I completely lost touched with real life in the streets?

Peter Parker can protect himself in this neighbourhood.

But do I have any right to move MJ here after we're married?

And since this is all I can afford,

maybe I dont have any right to marry her either.

Some love nest.

What the...

Took you long enough to get back home.

What do you want?

You have something I need,

and you were going to give it to me. Understand?

Because I know all about you, Parker. You and Spider-Man.

I know you and Spider-Man are partners.

He sets you up to take your pictures and you split the cash.

- Real cozy. - Ah, right. Right.

What are you looking for? A cut?

Ha! That's chump change to me.

Just who exactly are you behind that mask?

Know your enemy huh, Parker.

You know me alright.

I've never seen you before in my life.

So you don't even remember me?

I'll refresh your memory.

And when I'm done, I'll make sure you never forget Hobie Brown.

Yeah, that's my name.

My life began in this neighbourhood.

Not long ago, it almost ended here too.

Times for me were always tough.

I decided that if I wanted to get anywhere,

I either had to have power or worked for someone who did.

I made the choice I thought was right.

It's time we stopped risking our pants for that blue-skinned freak.

We're the one taking the chances.

We ought to take our fair share too.

And maybe more.

I've been working for a crime boss named lceberg.

Rumour was his genes have been tinkered with

so he could be tougher, more dangerous.

They say he wasn't human anymore.

Over here.

Rumor was probably right on.

Good work boys.

You pulled that heist off smooth as ice.

Thanks, lceberg. You know you can count on us.

I used to think I could.

But that was before I found out you were a stoned cold liar.

What? But, but I...

We ought to take our fair share too,

and maybe more.

It ain't nice to double cross the Iceberg.

Toss this cube in the drink.

And if he melts too soon, freeze him all over.

Ice, you can't do this to me.

Of course I can.

Whoever has the power makes the rules.

Ice. Ice, you know that ain't right. Ice!

I was done for.

These guys were setting me up for the big chill.

I had to act fast.

- Angela. - Hobie?

- Babe, I'm in trouble. - So what else is new.

- Baby, listen to me. - How many times do I have to tell you

Hobie, I love you.

I wanna be with you but I don't want your trouble.

Give up this life, Hobie and come back to me.

Ready to do honest work.

If I did that, I'd just be a chump working for somebody else.

I want to be somebody with power.

Right now, you're ain't nobody, Hobie.

You ain't nobody and you've got nothing.

Thanks, for more nothing.

If you can't see things my way,

then I'm gonna have to make some changes in my life.

You understand?

Hobie? Hobie?

My life was on the line.

I had to split town, but that was gonna take cash.

I was desperate. That's when I saw you and your lady.

You had it all.

Nice clothes, full wallet

and the love of a good woman.

I had it all that night for sure,

all the problems I can handle.

It's now or never.

Got an art student wants that apartment if you don't.

I think we'd better keep looking for...

We'll take it.

I'll get the lease.

Why would you want to live in this dump?

It's too small. It's too high up. It's too...

It's too bad you don't get how much I love you, Mr. Parker.

But I...

I hope this is how you plan to end all our arguments.

We need some place to live after we're married.

And this is all we can afford right... oh!

Don't Peter! It's not worth it.

Anybody messes with my fiancee, it's worth it.

$12. This ain't gonna get me anywhere.

Oh, I don't know.

It should get you all the way to the state penitentiary.

Maybe not, wall crawler.

Ha! Now who's the hot shot hero?

Gotta think fast.

That's it. Give me an even better target.

Hobie Brown has a superhero on the run.

And I was gonna leave town.

Okay Spider-Man, freeze.

No!

Okay pal, listen up.

That was Peter Parker's lady you mugged.

Parker and I are partners, see.

I do all the work. He sells the pics.

Spread the word.

Anyone crosses him or his girl, crosses me.

Those are my rules. Get it?

Okay, okay. Good.

I think about a lot of things, hanging upside down,

waiting for the cops to take you away for violating your parole.

Ice had his rules, Spider-Man had his.

When was I gonna lay down mine?

All that kept running through my head was what Ice had said to me.

Whoever has the power make the rules.

I was gonna have plenty of time to think things over.

Or so I thought.

Friend of yours?

Just the competition.

My father has many enemies.

Who's your father?

Someone who'll be interested in knowing what you did for me.

Here? That and a token will give me a ride on the subway.

Knowing my father gives you more than that, my friend.

You'll see. He has a lot of power.

I didn't believe him at all.

But then odd things started to happen.

Somebody hired a slick uptown lawyer for me.

He told the judge that there was no proof I've broken parole.

And since Spider-Man wasn't around to testify,

the law had to let me go.

He won!

Somebody was on my side that day

and I wanted to see what else they could do for me.

So you are the man I owe for my son's well being.

I... I had no idea he was the son of the Kingpin.

I always make good on my debt, Mr. Brown.

Name your price.

- Gold? Jewels? - Power.

Ah, that.

There's this guy in my neighbourhood named lceberg.

I want to stick it to him once and for all.

I see.

That is an intriguing proposition.

Let me show you my latest toy.

I call it the "stealth battlesuit".

Cool Halloween costume. Does it do anything?

This suit is bulletproof.

It is capable of pneumatically controlled flight.

It has titanium steel appendages that facilitate climbing,

and offensive manoeuvres.

It has rocket-powered blasters that fire powerful projectiles at will.

In short, the wearer of this "Halloween costume"

- would gain... - Instant power.

It is yours for the asking.

Mine?

- What's the catch? - You saved my son.

This is a small price to pay.

Go on. You did asked for power.

Yes, power.

This suit is incredible.

We're even now, right?

Your son's life for the suit. No strings attached.

No strings.

No strings.

Funny how you always hear that from the guys pulling 'em.

I decided to test out the Kingpin's present

in an old abandoned building where no one would get hurt.

The force was astounding.

The strength was incredible.

I could go anywhere, do anything.

I wasn't weak like Hobie Brown.

I was somebody new.

I needed a new name.

I felt like a wild animal on the prowl.

So I decided to call myself, the Prowler.

The balance of power in New York City finally shifted...

...to me.

Now it's my turn.

Your fancy suit doesn't impress me.

I'm gonna rip it to shreds with you in it!

I don't think so.

That's impossible. I am stronger than you.

Your freak genes don't cut it anymore.

Not when the Prowler is on your tail.

- The Prowler huh? - You!

Catchy name. But just who are you when you're at home?

Nice claws. You ever hang out with my friend Wolverine?

You won't take me again.

Again? I've met you before?

No answer huh? No matter.

I've got to take him where he can hurt anyone else.

See how you like my web.

I have done it.

I've beaten Iceberg and Spider-Man both in one night.

I was the Prowler.

Spider-Man was destroyed. Or so I thought.

Maybe I'll never know what happened to him next.

I know what happened next all too well, though I can't tell him.

Need air.

Gotta summon all my strength.

I got out of that one just by the skin of my teeth.

Parker, I thought I was it.

All I had to do was officially take the reigns of power.

No, no!

Iceberg, time to cash that cheque your mouth's been writing.

Men! Hold your fire, allow me.

Forgot to tell you. This suit has its own nuclear heating unit.

Now, where were we?

I wanted lceberg's operation. Now I had it.

Who is this guy anyway? Where's Iceberg?

- Iceberg. - Yes?

See if our guests would like anything... cold to drink.

Gentlemen, ladies, a toast to the new order.

Ugh!

Stay away!

What's wrong with it?

- Prowler. - What's wrong?

My goodness, is something the matter?

The suit, it's hurting me. You have to fix it.

First, Kingpin doesn't have to do anything.

Second, I forgot to give you one little warning about my toy.

- Batteries are not included. - What?

You have to come to me to get it recharged.

And I'm having the suit give you sporadic jolts of electricity

to hasten your return.

Like so.

You see, Prowler, I now control you.

You are mine.

You said no strings.

The best puppeteers never use strings.

I wouldn't take that off if I were you.

The suit includes a self-destruct device.

It might turn your neighbourhood into an ash heap.

Why would you do this to me?

I saved your son.

And I gave you what you wanted.

You wanted to defeat lceberg and have power over him.

Now you do.

For years, he has worked for me.

But lately, he was getting a little hard to control.

When you came to me wanting to topple him,

it fitted perfectly with my plans.

But why do you want to control me?

Controlling power is what I do best.

You know where to find me.

Don't wait too long.

If your enemies don't do you in in your weakened condition,

then the electric shocks will.

How could I have been so stupid?

I was lost all over again.

- Please, it's me. - Hobie? Oh no.

You're the prowler man I saw on the news?

- No. No! - Angela.

Henry, stay back.

Why is he here?

He and I are dating.

What was I suppose to do, Hobie? Wait for you?

He's nobody!

- Why, you... - He wants to be my husband.

He works a normal job

and I know he'll be here for me when I need him.

Things could have been so different if only you'd helped me that night.

No. You still think power is the only solution.

If power isn't important Angela, then what is?

Life, Hobie. Maybe I found mine here with Henry.

I hope you find yours. You have to go now.

I lost Angela.

I've lost everything that really meant anything to me.

So why did you come looking for me?

- Because I need Spider-Man. - What?

I saw on the news that he was alive.

He must have survived my attack after all.

Now, he's the only guy I know who's strong enough

to help me face off against the Kingpin.

And I'm gonna make you tell me where Spider-Man is.

Or force him to come here to save your life.

Haven't you learned that strong armed tactics

aren't the only way to get what you want?

I need him.

Oh, the pain.

You could start by saying please.

The bad news is there's no way to get you out of it

without setting off the self-destruct bomb.

- The good news? - Who said there was any good news?

There is a slight chance that I can reroute the energy charges

that Kingpin is sending to hurt you.

That can be used to power some of the suit's functions.

No for long though.

What good would that do me?

Well, if the Kingpin is expecting you to be weak,

then you'll have a trick up your sleeve, won't you?

One that maybe you and Spider-Man can use to your advantage.

You called Spider-Man, for me?

I think this is a fight he wouldn't want to miss.

The Prowler, sir.

I am glad to see you reconsidered my offer.

From where I stand, I only saw one way to go.

Of course. My way.

Sorry, but I'm no longer in the business

of letting anybody tell me what to do.

I don't know how you managed that shot,

but I'm pulling the plug now.

Did you really think you could defeat Kingpin so easily?

Think of it, big guy.

Fools! Get them!

Get the high intensity laser weapons.

This is it. Can you figure it out?

Well, it looks fairly simple.

After all, the Kingpin is not a science wiz

and he's the one who operated it right?

Now go, hurry!

Got it!

Look out for that stun...

...blaster urgh...

Well Mr. Brown.

You're persistent, I'll give you that much.

I admire that.

I'm tempted to offer you one last chance.

- Oh yeah? - No.

Destroy him.

I wouldn't. Or I'll trip the gizmos you put in this suit to keep it on me.

Then we all go boom.

Hold your fire, men. He's right.

That suit is still quite explosive.

Come on man. I used the suit's energy that Parker gave us.

Now you got to get us out of here.

Hang on.

Thanks to you and Parker for helping me see another sunrise.

For helping me see a lot of things.

Your head okay?

It's getting there. What now?

I'm not sure.

I know what I'm not gonna do though.

I'm never getting myself into this kind of trap again.

The only power that means anything to me now

is my own power over myself, my life,

and the choices I make.

Only other thing I know is

there's a girl named Angela,

who's looking for a man to love.

Maybe I can still make her understand

that man ought to be me.

It might not be too late.

I should have listened to her in the first place.

I sure got a lot of apologizing to do.

Peter, they're beautiful!

But way too extravagant.

I've been worried about too many things lately.

I've been letting my fears have too much power over me.

It's time I stop worrying

and started enjoying what's right with my life.

I have everything I need and nothing else on earth matters.

All that's important is I love you and you love me.

Tiger! You're finally starting to make sense.

Maybe this marriage thing's gonna work out after all.

I bet my webbing on it, lady.

And man, have I got webbing to bet.
