As I grew older,

I kept pretty much to myself.

I didn'! went anyone

to discover my strange abilities.

Then at my first high school dance

He probably set the fire.

Get him. Get the freak!

Tell these guys the truth, me'em,

Wefire all taken an oath

to act for the good of mankind.

You are tho X-Mon. Your mutant powers

are triggered by your thoughts.

Please, think wisely.

But than I saw J Jonah Jameson,

publisher of e newspaper

called the 'Daily Bugle'.

Spider-Man mild? stopped.

The 'Daily Bugle' will give a handsome

reward to anyone who brings him in.

lfl could capture Spider-Man,

I'd be a hero, not a freak.

A blizzard in July?

And me Wifl10lJll my long johns.

I thought this would get

your attention, bug brain.

Now cool off.

An ice boomerang?

Who are you?

A creature from the deepfreeze?

or a masked wall-cravfling weirdo?

Me weird? Looked in

the mirror lately, blizzard breath?

I've got an excuse. I'm a superhero.

OK, you want the reward?

I'll show you how rotten

Jameson can be. Come on.

Wham

ma?

I brought in the wall cravfler,

Mr Jameson.

Now where's the reward?

Well, I don't: know who you are,

but if youfire got Spider-Man,

youfire got the reuvard.

Actually, ifs in twvo parts.

First, a month's free subscription

to the Daily Bugle,

New 'forks finest newspaper.

“wan,

an autographed photo of the Eagle's

illushious publisher, me.

I'm winding dawn, guys. This is tiring.

There's still no clue

as to why you losl: your power.

Maybe ifs only temporary. BODDY-

I sure hope so, Angel,

but I've gotta tell you, I'm worried.

Se what did the memory probe

reveal about my power loss?

Your mutant powers

are triggered by your thoughts.

But I'm a mutant, too.

You mean, whatevefs happening to Bobby

oould also happen to?

No. That's impossible!

Vida-omen!

(films-mar.

Come on. Let's go get him.

Po-uvers, please don't: fail me now.

I should have said pretty please.

Time to overheat

your circuits, Videemen.

A freeze bolt?

Where did you get ihat?

I don't: care how big you are,

static face,

you canfi: do that

Maybe I do care just a little.

Amy bright

Maybe he forgot

to pay his electrical bill.

Forget I asked, OK?

He's gone

into the Daily Bugle building.

Jolly

What's ihat?

Good eurening, readers.

Today I speak out once again

against the costumed clouvns

running rampant in our fair city.

First, the wall cravfler lcnouvn as

Come back here!

I'm on the air. I'm

I thought

they pulled the plug on you.

Too late.

Well, I still have some power left.

I've losl: all my mutant power.

Then ifs up to Spidey and me

to pull his plug.

Another new weapon.

Tee powerful for me.

You know,

I oould make a oaroor of this,

and lmre mrery minute of I't.

He's absorbing electrical energy

from the presses.

And he's growing and

What a way to travel.

We know whafs making Vida-omen grow,

but not whafs giving him

111050 weirdo powers,

or what weakened my powers.

And look at mo. Right now,

I oouldn'l: make a snowball.

I wonder what happened to Jameson.

When am I? Whefs happening to me?

You can'! do this to me.

I'm in a maze of some kind.

Maybe I can find my way out.

IfVide-oman gro-uvs more powerful,

no one will be able to stop him.

Maybe we can prevent him

from getting any bigger.

We den'l: e\ren knew

where he'll strike neJ-ct.

Unless

Right. Let's ask the computer

for a prediction.

Sure, program what we know,

how powerful those presses were,

how big he grew.

You two go for 'It.

I'll be alright. Sea.

Sure.

He musl:n"I: knew we're here.

Wink he mum.

Since when could he do that?

But the webbed wonder triumphs again.

I'm weakening, Spidey.

Spidey, tell me ifs not possible.

L'l:'s not possible.

I'l:'s there, but ifs not possible.

Maybe I should have stayed home

and kept Bobby company.

I've got I't. I know whafs happened

to Iceman and you.

I've figured out

what's causing those power losses.

I wish I had the time to listen.

I may have losl: my power, fizz face,

but not my brain.

I think I can find that creep.

in the Vida-omen game.

If I can make contact

M111 its computer,

there's just a chance

to find Jameson.

Let me out!

Hurrah for education.

Spidey, what is that thing?

I don't: know, but you sure got a lot

for your quarter.

Found .

I know ifs Vida-omen

The electrical impulses

in a mutant brain

are stronger than

in a normal human brain.

So he's drawn fight to you.

And to Firestar. Look.

Cam, .. Light

It's no use.

Emmy

Maybe I can hick Vida-omen

into giving them back.

Fine. New I'm hipped with aireak.

A pleasant good morning to you, too.

What have you done?

We're shaking. We're

Can you fire up enough power

for one more flight'?

I don't: know 'rfl can.

I just know I have to.
