In New York, Spider-Man is tackling against the Shocker, Boomerang and Hydro-Man of the Sinister Syndicate. Unknown to all combatants, a cloaked being is viewing this from afar and reporting to War Machine. The latter orders the cloaked being not to engage, not without setting off Spidey's spider-sense. Already, he and Komodo are on their way, armed with S.P.I.N. Tech darts that are meant only for Spider-Man.

Hardball walks into a bar in Stamford.
