[narrator] Spider-Man.

[inaudible speaking]

[meows]

[inaudible]

[roars]

[narrator] Spider-Man.

[thunder rumbling]

You haven't lost your touch,
have you, Goron?

The last time we met,

I let you get away, Doctor Doom.

I won't make that mistake
this time.

It is true then.

You can teleport objects.

Quickly, make the orb reappear.

And now,
to send you to oblivion.

Don't be a fool, Goron.
I need your special talents.

And you need me.

I propose a partnership.

Why should I help you?

For half the world.

Half the world?

To help convince mankind
to trust me,

one last time.

[thunder rumbling]

[grunts]

I'm Officer Harrigan,
undercover squad.

Thanks. You just helped
a purse snatcher get away.

Hey, uh, Harrigan, I'm sorry.

[stutters] You're doing such a good job,
you fooled me.

I mean, you really
look like a bum.

[groans]

Uh, look, you're doing a great job.
Keep up the good work.

[sighing]

Aha! Doctor Doom!

I knew he was my kind of guy.

Doctor Doom has invited
the world's leaders

to Latveria, his tiny kingdom,

in order to demonstrate
his most recent scientific discoveries.

[all] Long live Doctor Doom!

Long live Doctor Doom!

The people,
they seem to love him.

Yeah, maybe.

Ah, you worry too much,
my friend.

Ah, that new factory is
very impressive, no?

Yeah, it's impressive,
all right.

But somehow,
something still don't feel right.

Yes, that new factory
is beautiful,

as long as one
does not look too closely.

As long as one ignores
Doctor Doom's dungeons.

We are all prisoners of Doom.

[man] It is my son, Johan.

Doctor Doom is making
a robot of my son.

No!

[Ambassador] Now, would you look at that.

[woman] Pumpkins as big as
an automobile. Magnifique.

[man] How is this possible?

We grow 'em big in Texas,
but my hat's off to you, sir.

Thank you, Ambassador.

Look, I'm a man of
few words, Doctor Doom.

So, how about we talk turkey,
so to speak?

My government will pay a lot
for this discovery. What do you say?

One moment. My government
will double his bid.

We will triple it.

We will discuss my terms later.

[Ambassador] Now, boy, what was you
so all fired up to tell us?

Yes, speak. Do not be afraid.

Why would I be afraid?

I only wanted to tell you
how much we all love our leader.

Long live, Doctor Doom.

Oh, sure.

Thank you, Johan.

Ah, this is truly
a meal fit for a king.

Hmm...

Doctor Doom, now, I don't mean
to seem ungrateful,

but just what do you want for
these discoveries of yours?

Nothing.

My discoveries are free

for the benefit of all mankind.

Mmm, how magnanimous.

I have to ask.

Have you forgotten what
Doctor Doom did at the U.N.?

How can we trust him?

[Doctor Doom] My friends,
you remember Goron.

Goron, it seems the American
doubts our sincerity.

Eat!

Say, that's mighty good!

Say, Doctor, you think you could
spare your associate there

for a little trip to the U.S.?

You know, show him off
to the folks back home.

It can be arranged.

Bring in the food.

Uh, how quickly
do these plants grow?

Is it true that with NASA's help

you can end
world hunger forever?

[female reporter]
Will you be going to the Space Center?

[male reporter]
Uh, do you spell Goron

with one "R" or two?

[man] Look! It's unbelievable.

Unbelievable is right.

I want a closer look at this.

Uh, you say our space platform

can help develop
this discovery faster.

Uh, come to Cape Canaveral
with me tomorrow. We'll see.

Goron and Doom might have
bamboozled the space people,

but the press won't be taken in.

Doctor Doom may be
the greatest man who ever lived.

Huh?

Mmm...

This stuff is excellent.

Mmm... splendid fellow
that Doctor Doom,

giving this all away.

There's got to be
something in the food.

Look out! It's Spider-Man.

This guy's really a hot-head.

Got to get out of
his line of sight.

[struggling]

These plants eat insects.
[chuckles]

[struggling]

I'll never eat another
mushroom again, I promise.

Of course.

The CO2 gas
from the fire extinguisher

should freeze
these plants solid.

If I hit this just right...

Now to find a way
to Cape Canaveral.

I'm still not certain
how our new space platform

can help feed the world,

but NASA is anxious
to do whatever it can.

Doctor Doom was sure
you'd feel that way.

The conference room
is right up ahead.

I just hope we can get everything
locked in before the platform's launched.

[scientist] Just a moment.
We're locked in! What is this?

[Peter thinking]
Good thing I conned J.J.

into sending me here to cover the launch.

Now to see what
that moron Goron is up to.

Uh-oh.

My spider sense is tingling.

It's Goron,

in the computer room.

I was expecting you, Spider-Man.

Can't fight it.

It's pushing me.

Goron to Doctor Doom.

On schedule.

I'm on my way to pick up

the space platform
guidance system now.

[man on PA] Warning!
This is a restricted area.

Warning! Warning!

Who would believe
something this tiny

could hold within it
the fate of the world?

Now, to replace it
with this substitute.

[man] Done.

- [Goron] And just in time.
- Hey!

What are you doing here?

This area's top secret.

Huh?

Wha... What am I doing here?

The secret launch codes
for the space platform,

I need them.

Yeah...

Of course. There.

Goron to Doctor Doom.

Goron calling Doctor Doom.

The secret launch code is AX4...

Only one... chance.

[computer] Danger! Overload!
Overload! Danger!

[sighs] And I was just
starting to like it.



End of launch code.

Connect this computer

to the Defence Department's
Strike Force computer.

[man] We're now tied in
with all army, navy,

and air force computers.

[Goron] Now, every nuclear m*ssile

in the air, on the ground,
and at sea

is ready to launch
in five minutes.

Your attention!

The world has five minutes

to proclaim Doctor Doom
its ruler or...

[Spider-Man] Wrong again, bright eyes.

The game's over, Goron.

Ha! I've just programmed in
Doctor Doom's code word.

The only word in the universe
that will stop the missiles.

It is only known to Doom and me.

Destroy me,
and the missiles will launch

and end the world.

Spider-Man doesn't bow
to blackmail, skin head.

You need glasses.

[Doctor Doom]
Goron, what's happening?

The mirror. Get to the mirror.

Prepare to teleport
the guidance system.

The relay satellite will be in position
in 30 seconds, hurry!

Message acknowledged.

[chuckles] The solar mirror.

[panting] What happened?
He was right behind me.

[beeping]

I did it.

Where you going, grumpy?

You've interfered
for the last time, wall-crawler.

No!

[Spider-Man] His own ray has changed him
back to his real form.

Uh-oh! Only minutes to go.

[beeping]

Huh... Wha... What?

I... I can't override it
without the code word

that bald guy programmed in,

and that word can be any combination
of letters in any language.

It would take
every computer we've got

five years to find the word.

With an ego like Doctor Doom's,

there's only one word
he would think could save the world.

D-O-O...

Doom.

It worked. But, but, but... how?

Just a lucky guess.

It's like this everywhere, J.J.

All of Doom's giant food
became worthless after two days.

Drat!

Just another of Doctor Doom's
hollow promises.

Just like the promises of
certain photographers.

We had a date last night,
Peter Parker!

Oh...
