03x02 - Conner's Reptiles

[bunniefuu]

Parker, These Photos Are Terrible!

You're Lucky I'm In A Good Mood,

Or You'd Be Back Taking Pictures

For Your School
Newspaper!

But, Mr. Jameson--

Don't Interrupt!

This Paper
Needs A Scoop.

Something Just Came In From Florida.

You Can Get Back In My Good Graces

By Taking
This Assignment.

You Mean
I Have A Choice?

Actually, No. Well?

But I Don't Even Know What It Is Yet.

Don't Get Smart,
Parker!

You Remember
Dr. Conners,

The Famous Reptile Expert Who Claims

He Once Took Some Sort Of A Serum

That Temporarily Turned Him Into A Reptile?

Lives
In The Everglades.

Well, This Time He Says He's Invented A Serum

That Increases Reptile Intelligence.

Naturally, I Don't Believe A Word Of It.

But Then Why--

Because I'm Sick And Tired Of Idiot Scientists

Making Gullible
Fools Of Us!

I Want You
To Go To Florida

And Take Photos Of Conners And His Lab.

I'm Going To Run A 3-Part Expose Of That Quack,

As Well As
Any Other Scientist

Who Thinks He Can Put Something Over

On The Public!

But Suppose He's Not?

Are You Arguing With Me, Parker?

Just Move!

But How Am I Supposed To Get To Florida?

That's Your Worry.

You Want
To Work For Me,

You'll Figure Out
A Way.

Sometimes I Wonder Why I Put Up With

Old J.J. And His Job.

I Guess Life Would Be Pretty Dull Without Him.

[Birds Squawking]

Dr. Conners's Place Shouldn't Be Too Far From Here.

Ah, That Looks Like A Signpost Down There.

Hello. Do You Know Where Dr. Conners Lives?

Hey! You're Spider-Man!

Sure. That's The Place, Right Over There,

Only...Father's Missing.

Missing?
What Do You Mean?

I Thought He Was Experimenting With Reptiles.

He Was But...Come On. Mom Will Tell You.

[Woman Crying]

He's Been Kidnapped!

What?

Listen.

"I Made
A Terrible Mistake.

"The Intelligence-Increasing Serum Was Too Powerful, Grace.

"I Am Being Held c*ptive By One Of My Own Creations.

"You And Billy Must Leave.

The Thing Wants To Rule The Swamps."

Oh, Spider-Man, Can You Help Him?

Your Husband Really Has Bad Breaks, Mrs. Conners--

First Turning Into A Lizard Himself

And Now This.

But What Did He Mean, "One Of His Creations"?

He Was Experimenting On Increasing

The Intelligence
Of Alligators.

Quickly, Where's Your Husband's Laboratory?

That's It Over There. Why? What Are You Going To Do?

Spider-Man: Perhaps, Just Perhaps,

If Your Husband Left Some Serum In The Lab,

I Can Analyze It And Possibly Find A Way

To Reverse Its Effects And... But I've Got To Move.

Lucky I Know Enough To Be Able To Analyze Chemicals.

Who Would Have Thought That I'd Start Off Trying To Take Photos

And Wind Up Playing With Test Tubes?

This Stuff Is The Serum, All Right.

Now, Just To Check...

Now To Get To Work.

Wonder Where That Thing Is Anyway?

Strange I Haven't Seen It Yet.

[Door Opens]

So, Spider-Man,

I Have Read
About You.

You Will Try
To Stop Me.

No Human
Must Stop Me.

Now Give Me
That Serum, Please.

[Boom]

He Got The Bottle
Of Serum.

But I've Got
The Reverser.

Billy, Move!

Spider-Man.

I Thought
I'd Finished You.

When I Get
My Hands On You

And The Conners
Brat, I'll--

Enough Games,
Monster.

Here I Come,
Ready Or Not.

Got To Prevent Him From Giving That Serum To Other Reptiles.

Wait.
Spider Senses Tingling.

Danger In That Direction.

Must Be Reptilla.

[Splash]

Fools! How Dare You Invade My Swamp?

They Flee Like Mice.

But I'm Wasting Time.

Spider-Man Must Still Be After Me.

I Must Wait For Him.

I Do Not Think He Can Breathe Underwater.

He's Around Here Somewhere. I Can Feel It!

Spider Sense
Tingling Stronger,

But Where Is He?

He Hasn't Come Out Of The Water Yet,

And My Spider Sense Isn't Tingling Anymore.

The Only Thing To Do Is Backtrack.

Perhaps I Can Find Out

Where Conners Used To Keep His Reptiles From Mrs. Conners.

I've Got The Serum Reverser With Me.

Do You Know Where Your Husband Kept His Specimens?

In The Old
Spanish Fort.

Oh, Spider-Man,
Please Hurry!

If He Should Feed The Serum To Any Other Reptiles...

Great Spiders! I Have To Stop Him!

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Soon All The Swamps Shall Be Ours.

Reptiles Will Once More Rule The Earth!

Soon, My Friends, You Will Think, Will Know.

You Will Join Me To Conquer.

Get A Few Pics For J.J.

Too Bad I Don't Have A Tape Recorder, Too.

[Rattling]

[Crash]

Spider-Man, What A Pleasant Surprise.

Dropped In
For Dinner, Eh?

While My Friends Appease Their Hunger,

I Shall Take Care
Of Conners.

Get The Human.

Those Gators Came Too Close For Comfort,

But Where Is--

Take Your Medicine.

Wow. Not Only Did It Take Away His Intelligence,

It Took Away Him.

Now To Find Conners.

It Was A Nightmare.

I Don't Know How I'll Ever Thank You.

Aw, It Was Nothing.

That's The Last Time

I Experiment With Reptile Intelligence.

Good-Bye, Dr. Conners.

I Ought To Fire
You, Parker!

I Had The Presses
Set Up,

A Flaming
Editorial Written!

I Was All Set To Launch A Mammoth Crusade!

But, Mr. Jameson--

Don't "Mr. Jameson" Me!

No, I'll Never
Live This Down!

Stabbed In The Back By My Own Staff!

Wait. How Did You Get To Florida Anyway?

No, Forget It.

With My Luck,
You'll Tell Me

Spider-Man Carried You There On His Back.

Then I'll Be Sure

You're All
Plotting Against Me!
