Spider-Man is swinging along on his daily business when a
port suddenly opens in the air and a huge green monster emerges and goes on a
rampage. Spidey swings down and the monster hits him, leaving Spidey thinking it’s
the hardest he’s ever been hit, worse than Thing, Hulk, or Thor. But then the
monster runs away and more people emerge from the portal: the Falcon and Leila Taylor
first, followed by Texas Jack Muldoon, then the Night People, and
finally Captain America. The portal closes; Spidey tries to tell Cap about the
monster but Falcon has been driven mad by his sojourn in the other dimension and
Cap must subdue him and get him help. The police round up the crazed Night
People and one tries to arrest Spidey but he webs up the cop’s gun and departs….
Elsewhere, Batroc the Leaper relaxing in his penthouse
apartment, abusing his butler, spies the green monster in the alley below. Dreaming
of the possibilities of a thief having a monster for a partner, he goes down to
talk with the creature….
Peter Parker stops by the Daily Bugle offices where he sees
Robbie Robertson and is snubbed by J. Jonah Jameson….
At a private docking area, a SHIELD hovercraft transporter
is landing, delivering a shipment of trans-uranium when Batroc and the monster
arrive. The latter disables the craft and together they take down the guards—but
then Captain America arrives, having been at SHIELD HQ nearby. Batroc dreams of
finally killing Cap when Spider-Man also arrives and the battle is a little
more evenly matched. Cap fights the monster while Spidey takes on Batroc until
the two heroes are forced back-to-back. But Cap has an idea: as the two enemies
lunge for the kill, Cap and Spidey jump out of the way, leading to the villains
crashing into one another. Batroc is out but the monster is still standing. The
monster begins to glow, which can’t be good, and it runs away. The heroes hand Batroc
over to the police and follow the big guy. It hijacks the Staten Island Ferry,
trying to get back to its own dimension. Cap and Spidey leap aboard the boat
and Spidey occupies the creature while Cap rigs the craft to blow up and the
two heroes jump in the River. The boat explodes, killing the monster….
Epilogue: Pete and Mary Jane Watson pick up Aunt May at the
hospital to take her home. Pete spots Cap also leaving the place (dejected over
Falcon’s suffering) and doesn’t know why he’s there, envying the hero who seems
to have everything….
