STARK:" "I'm sorry, Dr. Ohn... but your interdimensional portal research... is simply too dangerous to continue." "Please, Mr. Stark, reconsider." "Interdimensional technology has been my life's work!" "STARK:" "I am truly sorry." "We'll find some new project for you to work on." "OHN:" "I don't think so, Mr. Moneybags Stark." "You're not gonna stick me... on some bathroom tissue improvement team!" "I've got bigger fish to fry." "KINGPIN:" "Dr. Ohn, I presume?" "Please, step inside and avail yourself... of the simple comforts of my automobile." "Oh, uh, thank you, but I don't usually" "Doctor, where is your scientific curiosity?" "I have a proposition I do not think you can refuse." "OHN:" "Good heavens." "All this for me?" "L--I don't understand." "I am fascinated by your time-dilation portals." "I believe there's a lot of money... to be made with this new technology." "Oh, yes, of course, money." "Now, tell me, Doctor, have we a bargain?" "Doctor?" "WOMAN:" "Dr. Ohn, hello." "I'm Dr. Sylvia Lopez." "Dr. Lopez recently joined my team of scientists." "She, too, was seeking greater reward for her efforts." "She wants to work with you." "Well, Ohn, what do you say?" "Do you accept the position?" "Hello." "I will take that as a yes." "You've certainly given that little man... enough big toys to play with." "That little man is going to make me invincible." "Imagine, with these interdimensional portals... the world will be at my mercy... and, as an added pleasure, I will be able to eliminate... the biggest threat to my organization..." "Spider-man." "[Carnival music playing]" "MARY JANE:" "You know, I can hardly believe... you're the real Peter Parker." "For the last month, you've been so attentive." "Paying attention to you... isn't the hardest thing in the world to do." "Especially when a certain web-head... doesn't come between us." "It's been so quiet lately." "I've barely had to fire a web." "Take that, you ugly monster!" "FELICIA:" "That's not a monster, it's a goblin... and I think he's kind of cute." "Really?" "Felicia, you never cease to intrigue me." "A winner!" "Oh, marvelous." "I hoped we might be able to get through one day... without some kind of spider coming between us." "Jason, I'm sorry." "I can't help feeling... the way I do about Spider-man." "Neither can I." "Well, at least he hasn't been making... any unscheduled appearances in your life lately." "No, he hasn't." "Maybe it's time I start appreciating... somebody a little more reliable." "OHN:" "Ready, Sylvia?" "Ready." "SYLVIA:" "It's working." "You're brilliant!" "Yes, I am rather, aren't I?" "Don't get too close!" "OHN:" "Don't worry." "It's perfectly safe." "I'd stake my reputation on it." "Aah!" "Jonathan!" "PETER, THINKING:" "What on earth?" "Stark promised to end his interdimensional research." "So, if he isn't behind this, who is?" "Whoa-oh-oh-oh!" "Peter, look!" "Peter?" "He's run off again!" "Whoa!" "Where am I?" "Help!" "Huh?" "Spider-man, help!" "Who the heck is that?" "Gotta snag him with my" "No!" "Uhh!" "Get these things off me!" "How did I get here?" "Lt'll take me an hour to web back to the carnival." "Mary Jane'll think I abandoned her again." "A great month as Peter Parker... screwed up in five minutes as Spider-man." "And no one can explain... where these mysterious holes are coming from." "Uhh!" "S YLVIA:" "Jonathan!" "I did it." "I made it back." "What happened to you?" "Well, I'm not sure exactly." "While I was trapped between dimensions..." "I somehow became a magnet for these loose portals." "I was terrified until I realized... that I could control the portals with my mind." "Watch this." "Incredible." "Wait, there's more!" "I can be here...or here... or here, before you can blink!" "Jonathan, that's amazing!" "I couldn't have done it without you." "You see, I think possibly--that is" "Well, I've grown quite fond of you... over the last several weeks, Sylvia." "Oh, Jonathan, l--l" "Oh, I nearly forgot!" "TV:" "There are still no explanations... for this bizarre phenomenon... but New York has been thrown into a panic... by these miniature black holes." "What have I done?" "!" "I've got to repair the damage before somebody's hurt!" "Come on, now, let's have no more of that." "Can't leave you alone for five seconds, can I?" "Well, that seems to be the lot." "KINGPIN:" "Dr. Lopez, you are being surprisingly vague." "I need more information." "That is the bargain you've made with the Kingpin." "Success!" "I've got holes in my pocket, right where they belong." "Jonathan, Fisk just called from his car." "He's on his way." "We've got to tell him what's happened." "Do we?" "I wonder..." "All my life, I've been kowtowing... to money-grubbing fatheads like Fisk." "Please, Sylvia, we must keep my secret for now." "So, I take it your experiment was a success." "Uh, yes and no." "It has yet to be perfected." "I want that technology, and I want it soon!" "Do I make myself clear?" "Crystal!" "Safety first, though." "Wouldn't want to have an arm lopped off... by an unstable portal, would we?" "Ha ha ha." "Oof!" "Do your work, and do it quickly." "Well, that went well." "Jonathan, you have to tell him." "What else can you do?" "Plenty." "First, we must put this where he can't get... his money-grubbing little fingers on it." "Then, we set up a laboratory of our own." "All we need is a little capital... and that's no problem." "Not for--ta-da--The Spot!" "PETER:" "What did you find out, Dr. Connors?" "Your hunch was correct." "Those spots were actually time-dilation portals... similar to the ones Stark created." "They share some properties with black holes." "They absorb radio waves, for example... but they lack the super-gravity of their big brothers." "Stark has issued a public statement... saying he's not to blame." "It's a fascinating puzzle." "Fascinating and deadly." "Maybe what Connors said about radio waves being absorbed... could be the answer I'm looking for." "Hey, MJ, Liz, wait up!" "Mary Jane, let me explain." "Liz, you may tell Mr. Parker... that I think he should permanently disappear... because we don't have anything left to talk about." "Peter, Mary Jane said" "I heard." "MJ, please." "Mary Jane!" "Happy to see me, friend?" "Harry?" "Oh, you do remember." "I thought you might've put me out of your mind... when you stole MJ away from me." "Thanks a lot, pal!" "Listen, Harry, l--Listen!" "This is just not my day." "[Sighs]" "Maybe Spider-man will have better luck." "[Alarm ringing]" "A bank robbery?" "On Sunday afternoon?" "What kind of nut would break into a bank... in broad daylight?" "Oh, that kind of nut." "How the heck did he get in there?" "Shouldn't you be the mascot at a fire station?" "Whoa!" "Uhh!" "Did that hurt?" "Sorry, I'm in something of a hurry." "Bit of a goof, setting off those alarms, eh?" "Uh, yeah." "I hate to interrupt, but are you planning on stealing... that really big pile of money there?" "Uh, yes, rather." "And how exactly were you planning on doing that, Mr..." "Call me The Spot... and I was planning on doing this!" "You're the wacko behind those time-dilation portals!" "There's no need for all this." "I'm not a criminal." "I just need a little capital for my research!" "Those portals are too dangerous." "You've got to stop using them." "Not so soon." "Oh, boy, not this again!" "Forgive me." "I usually abhor violence." "Oh, please." "OHN:" "Well, that does look like a sticky situation." "Let me give you a hand, or actually, a foot!" "Gotcha!" "There." "Even though this guy is trouble..." "I'm gonna have a hard time taking him seriously." "But he is serious." "A scientist, in fact." "It's time I started thinking like a scientist, too." "If I adapt my tracker... to broadcast at radio frequencies... and zero in on the gaps in the wave pattern... any gaps would indicate a portal... and wherever there's a portal..." "The Spot won't be far away." "FELICIA:" "What are we doing here, Jason?" "I have to do a little shopping." "Oh, my!" "It's beautiful." "It's for you." "Felicia, will you marry me?" "Oh, Jason!" "Oh, you're so sweet." "It's just that l" "OHN:" "What a beautiful store." "Nice setting for a robbery." "Now let's get down to business." "A distortion... right...here!" "Oh, miss, I know this seems frightfully rude... but the fact is, your ring looks very expensive." "Get away from her, freak!" "It appears you need a lesson in manners." "You're the one who needs a lesson." "Spider-man!" "OHN:" "What are you, some kind of masochist?" "Maybe I need spot remover." "Are you hurt?" "Felicia?" "No, I'm OK, but I've got to go after that creep." "Spider-man, wait!" "What is it?" "I haven't seen you in weeks." "Are you avoiding me?" "Avoiding you?" "Look, Felicia..." "I thought I'd made this clear." "We can't let there be anything between us." "My life is just too dangerous... and I care too much for you to jeopardize yours." "I'm sorry." "So am I." "Sylvia, I'm ba-a-ack." "Sylvia?" "KINGPIN:" "And you say Dr. Ohn controls this power at will?" "SYLVIA:" "Yes, he needs no machine." "Fascinating." "We must find a way... to duplicate his powers in others." "Understood, Kingpin." "No." "Jonathan?" "You've betrayed me to Fisk." "Why?" "He's a powerful crime lord known as "The Kingpin."" "He owns me, Jonathan." "I care for you too much... to watch you try to take him on and fail." "But, Sylvia, don't you understand?" "I can take him on!" "I won't fail." "Mr. Fisk, I'm here to terminate our contracts with you." "You were saying?" "Your stooges are nothing to me, Fisk." "You have no power." "I am the new Kingpin." "KINGPIN:" "I very much doubt that, Ohn." "The Kingpin always holds the trump card." "Sylvia!" "KINGPIN:" "You will do exactly as I say." "I don't think I have to tell you... what happens to her if you fail." "Ohh." "Another time-dilation hole." "It's got to be Ohn." "Bingo!" "Well, that's odd." "He's just standing there." "Ah, he said you would come... if I stayed in one place long enough." "I'm sorry." "Sorry?" "For what?" "For this!" "Talk about being in a tight spot!" "Gotcha!" "Uhh!" "Wait a minute." "Those holes are a 2-way street." "Gotta trust my spider-sense!" "Now!" "[Groans]" "Well, that hit the spot." "She's doomed!" "Who's doomed?" "Listen, it's clear you're no killer." "What's going on?" "Maybe I can help." "Ohn, you have done it!" "You defeated Spider-man." "Now for a little unveiling." "Uhh!" "The reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated." "You will wish they were not!" "Rraaah!" "I have waited for this for some time." "What do you have in mind, a pie-eating contest?" "Aah!" "Approximately 2o/o of my body mass is fat." "Allow me to show you what 350 pounds of muscle... is capable of." "You blundering fool!" "You've destroyed us all!" "That buffoon left one of his portals open!" "If it keeps growing... it could pull the entire earth into it... starting with New York!" "Can you close it, Ohn?" "No, it's too big, too powerful." "Wait, I know this technology." "It should theoretically be possible... for you to use your original equipment... to boost your powers." "Spider-man is a scientist?" "Even if that does work... we'll need to get much closer to the portal." "I can't affect it from so far away." "KINGPIN:" "Gentlemen... perhaps I can be of some assistance." "Why would you help them?" "There is no profit to be made... in the destruction of the planet." "It is very bad for business." "We're in position!" "SPIDER-MAN:" "Think you're up to this?" "I haven't the foggiest, but it's my mess." "I'd better clean it up." "Let her rip!" "It's no use!" "I need more power!" "What are you doing?" "I'm channeling the ship's power into him." "It might do the trick." "OHN:" "It's working!" "I'm forcing it closed!" "S YLVIA:" "What's wrong?" "!" "The portal stopped shrinking." "The ship's power isn't enough!" "Ohn!" "Jonathan!" "Leave me be!" "My abilities increase exponentially in the vortex!" "I don't understand!" "I can close the hole..." "from inside!" "Sylvia, I'm sorry, I must!" "I won't let you go!" "I love you!" "[Sighs] Poor Ohn." "Poor Sylvia." "They sacrificed everything... to repair the damage they caused." "Well, at least in the end, those two had each other." "Maybe making sacrifices isn't so bad... as long as you're with the one you love." "Maybe it's time I made a big sacrifice for Mary Jane... and stopped being Spider-man." "Tiger, we need to talk." "Mary Jane!" "You know, it can be a real strain... on your relationship to have your boyfriend... run off when big trouble starts brewing." "I know, and I think..." "I've just decided not to do it again...ever." "No way, handsome." "That's your job." "I guess I have to try... to keep little details like that in mind... especially since I love you." "[Sinister laugh]" "MAN:" "The Kingpin of crime indeed." "He had that awesome power in his possession... and he let it slip through his fingers?" "!" "The fool!" "Don't worry." "You shall be handsomely paid." "I like having a spy in the Kingpin's organization." "I will possess that dimensional portal technology... and when I do" "[Laughing]"
