[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

SPIDER-MAN: You're thinking,

"It's almost Christmas.

"Even Spidey must

have a tree to trim,

gifts to wrap"

Whoa! [GRUNTS] [ALL SHOUTING]

I'm outta here!

But first, I gotta wrap up

a little investigation. Ah!

See, even though

I busted Mysterio,

all that tech he stole

is still missing.

And every lowlife I meet

says Blackie Gaxton's

the man to talk to.

So talk, Blackie.

[IN IRISH ACCENT]

Who're you kidding?

What's the big hero

gonna do if I clam up? [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Blackie! Gimme 21 on

Spider-Man?

Bye!

I don't know.

Maybe just hang

out a while.

Okay, okay.

Rumor is, Mysterio was

fronting for some big boss.

The guy's hirin'

cons, crooks,

even construction workers.

But everyone's sworn

to secrecy on pain

of you-know-what.

That's the sum to all

of my knowledge.

Uh, thanks, Blackie.

I owe you an eggnog!

[GASPS] h*-h*-h*.

I'm Spidey Claus, and

what would your name be,

young man?

[STAMMERS] Patch

Um, Patch.

Wow, did your parents

have foresight or what?

Yeah, anyway, Patch,

you know what I want

for Christmas?

[STAMMERS] Name of

Mysterio's boss?

That's a start. They, they call him

the Master Planner.

But, but that's all

I know, believe me.

[BEEPS]

MASTER PLANNER:

Yes, Tinkerer?

Spider-Man's closing in.

MASTER PLANNER: Round up

the usual suspects.

And destroy him.

Living on the edge

Fighting crime,

Spinning webs

Swinging from

the highest ledge

He can leap

above our heads

Villains on the rise

And the city's victimized

Looking up

with no surprise

Toomes, Beck,

breakfast.

Move it or I'll

A hologram!

Oh, man. Not again.

The warden's gonna freak!

At least you're real.

Aah!

Watch out! [ALARM BLARES]

Sandman and Rhino escaped!

[SIRENS WAILING]

That's encouraging

news, Cletus,

but it was Max's

turn to speak.

Electro, Doc, Electro!

I don't need

a regular name

no more.

Right, Doctor Octopus?

[STAMMERS] I beg you

not to call me that.

I despise everything

associated with that name.

The criminal activity,

the wanton violence.

Otto, your progress

is nothing short of

amazing.

[CLATTERING]

[ROARS] [PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GROANS]Doctor Octopus,

I presume?

No! No! Leave me alone! Keep your paws off him!

You misunderstand, Doctor.

Kraven is sent

to liberate you

and Electro.

Forget him.

I used to

worship the Doc.

But what's left of him

isn't worth the trouble.

Ah, that's better.

Let's blow this stand.

Please, Max,

you don't have to

[SCREAMS] [WHIMPERS]

I told you,

it's Electro.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING] [INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Gotcha![BOTH LAUGHING]

Oh, so close.

[GASPS]

Wow! Peter.

That was amazing!

Uh-oh.

Better not look

too good.

Whoa! Whoa-oh-oh!

[GRUNTS]

Yeah. Great triple klutz.

[LAUGHS]

Looks like

my favorite tutor

needs a little lesson.

Only if you're offering.

I think I am.

[MAN GRUNTING]

Flash! Are you okay?Do I look okay?

Sorry, I didn't mean

Nah, forget it.

So, uh You started

physical therapy?

Yeah.

Well, great!

So you'll be

good as new.

And those college

scouts will be busting

down your door.

That's not exactly what PETER: Uh, Liz?

I'm ready for my lesson.

Petey, can't you see I'm

in the middle of something?

Take yourself for a spin.

Most of you have met,

but Kraven and Electro,

this is Rhino, Vulture,

Sandman, and Mysterio.

Hmm.

[GROWLS]

Is there problem?

I've had bad experiences

with cats.

[CLEARS THROAT] Gentlemen,

allow me to introduce

our host and benefactor,

the Master Planner.

MASTER PLANNER:

Tinkerer informs me

Doctor Octopus declined

my invitation.

This is disappointing.

I had so hoped

to inaugurate

the Sinister Seven.

Four, five

Don't we got seven?

What about this guy?

Strictly technical support,

trust me, he is useless

in a fight.

MASTER PLANNER:

No matter, a new

Sinister Six will suffice.

Suffice for what, exactly?

To help me

inaugurate the age of

the super criminal.

This is your time,

my colorful friends,

once you dispose of

a certain red and blue

clad pest.

Uh, excuse me,

how exactly is

a new six

supposed to fare

any better than

the old one?

MASTER PLANNER:

Unsurprisingly,

I have a plan.

[CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING] [INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[PEOPLE GASP]CHILD: Yay!

ALL: Ah!

[O CHRISTMAS TREEPLAYING]

Hey, QB,

you wanna slushee?

Oh, yeah. Delicious.

[LAUGHS]

You are so going down!

KENNY: In your dreams. LIZ: Get him, Flash!

[GWEN BREATHING HEAVILY]

Hey, Gwen.

You stand

a little company?

Whoa, look.

What did I do

to deserve

You've barely said

two words to me since

Since the you-know-what.

So I get it, okay?

I'm not your first choice.

But I won't be

your second choice, either.

Skating on

thin ice again, eh?

MJ. You saw that, huh?

Saw it, I heard it.

It was so painful,

I almost felt it.

Look, Tiger,

you're one of

my favorite guys.

Would you look at her?

She's gorg [MARY JANE SNAPS FINGERS]

But you distract

too easy.

Gwen's got

a totally legit gripe.

Decide what you want, Pete,

then focus on getting it done.

I don't suppose you'd

help a poor, distractible

boy sort through all this?

[SCOFFS] I sort

better with cocoa.

Sorting cocoa,

coming right up.

He's not here.

KRAVEN [ON RADIO]:

Ah, he's here. I smell him.

MASTER PLANNER [ON RADIO]:

Team One, deploy.

That will lure

the do-gooder

into the open.

ELECTRO [ON RADIO]:

Way ahead of you.

Ow! Hot! [GROANS]

ELECTRO: Spider-Man!

Come out to play!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[MUMBLES] That's probably

the least painful part of

my night.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Show yourself,

you wall-crawling

SPIDER-MAN: [LISPING]

Now, now, watch your mouth.

There are children present.

What? Ooh!

[SIGHS] I burned

my tongue, okay?

Ah!

Beaky?

[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]What?

I really need to stop with

the banter until the tongue's

had time to heal.

Vulture and Electro

are a pretty unlikely

team of two.

I gotta figure on

the entire Simpleton Six.

Aah!

Hey, Vultch,

you notice?

Big hero doesn't seem

too focused on us.

Why, you're right.

It's almost

as if he expects

more company.

[LAUGHING] [ALL SCREAM]

[ALL GROANING]

SPIDER-MAN: I gotta get

these g*ons off the ice.

Come on, guys.

Let's play Follow

the Leader.

Let's not.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

SPIDER-MAN: Okay,

can't lure them away.

Gotta take them out.

So focus

and make your play.What? No.

Beaky's awfully

protective of that

glorified tiara.

Which means,

I can use his paranoia

to pin his wings.

I said, "No!"

[GROANING]

[CHUCKLES] You know,

for an evil, old nob,

you make

a lovely ornament.[GRUNTS]

Don't worry, Vultch,

Electro's got your back.

No, you fool!

I'll be free in a moment!

[SCREAMING] [PEOPLE SCREAMING]

You blew up

a Christmas tree?

The Christmas tree?

Harsh.

Uh-oh.

Liz, move! [SCREAMS]

Whoa! Spidey, thanks!

Hey, sign my cast?

Uh, maybe later. Oh!

Mary Jane!

Where's Peter?

[GRUNTS]

At least I got 'em

off the ice.

[HORN HONKS] Now if I could just

get them off the planet.

Hello. Ooh.

ELECTRO: You won't

escape me that easy.

That your best shot?

Feeble.

Well, if at first

Yada, yada, yada.

Eventually, you'll run

out of tires.

And then, I'll Huh?

[GRUNTS]

Then you'll what?

Take me out for a spin?

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

That coat,

or should I say coating,

looks amazing on you.

Non-conductive, you say?

Gorgeous.

[SIGHS][WHOOSHING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Hey, Spidey,

don't fade on us now.

Sparks and Flaps

were just the appetizer.

Time for the main course.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[PUNCHES LANDING]

[GROANING][CAR ALARM BLARING]

Anyone get the number

of that sleigh?

[LAUGHS]

Ain't he a clever boy?

See, it's Christmas Eve,

and he said "Sleigh".

[CHUCKLES] You know,

instead of "Truck"?

Too bad

I'm more like a tank.

Hey!

The thing about tanks,

they don't corner well.

Plus, they're ugly.

[GRUNTS]

Hey O'Hirn,

this is kinda fun,

me and you, right?

Just like old times.

Only now,

we're kicking

his tail.

[ALL SCREAMING] Excuse me, pardon me,

coming through. Whoa!

[GROANS] [TIRES SCREECHING]

Arms? Check.

Legs? Check.

Head? Check.

And my burnt

tongue's better, too.

Christmas miracle.

[CAR ALARM BLARING]

A Bug for a bug.

Yeah, I got that.

For you, that

was clever.

Thanks.

Guys, Feliz Navidad,

Happy Hanukkah,

Kwanzaa, solstice.

Can't we put

our differences aside

for one night?

No! [GROANS]

When we're done with you,

there won't be enough left

to stuff my stocking.

Hey, Rhino, toss him over.

I wanna pull off that mask

and see who he is

before we end it.

Sorry, I'm strictly

a do-not-unwrap-until-

Christmas-morning superhero.

Okay, playing punching bag

turns out to be remarkably

ineffective,

so focus on Plan B.

[YELLING]

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS] Is that

all you got?

Oh, I got more.

If you think you're beast

enough to come and get it.

Oh, I'll show you

who's beast enough.

[ICE CRACKS]

SPIDER-MAN: Here,

you're gonna need this.

[ICE CRACKING]I hate you so much.

[GROANS]

Ah!

He's slower.

The night air is freezing

all that hydrogen water,

saturating his silicates.

[SIGHS]

He's not the only one.

Well, I guess we'll

do this the hard way.

Heads up, Frosty.

[PANTING]

Four down, two to go.

All right, Shocker,

Octopus, show yourselves!

OCTAVIUS: Arachnid!

Oh, me and my big mouth.

I've already been fried,

slashed, battered and

frozen tonight.

I'm a web-head

in desperate need

of down time.

[SPIDER-MAN GROANS]

[GRUNTING]

So not what I meant.[HORN HONKS]

[CROWD CHATTERING]

[GROANS]

I'm totally wiped.

Let's face it.

I've never actually

beaten six myself.

Oh, man,

I hope it's only six.

I think I lost 'em.

Yikes!

Lock your chimneys, folks.

Fool, no prey

escapes Kraven.

I track smell of your fear

to ends of earth.

Big talk for

a substitute loser.

[GRUNTS] Guess the great

hunter was afraid to take me

on alone this time.

Is way of jungle.

The pack wears prey down,

for alpha male to crush.

[GROWLING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS][CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING]

It's called Poisson Gate.

Nice, huh?

[ALL GASPING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ROARS]

[SNIFFS]

Wow, great perfume.

Can I try some?

[GROANS]

Can ya smell me now?

Awfully too soon to gloat,

Spider-Man.

Oh, you are the expert

on premature gloatilation.

We shall see.

[SPEAKS LATIN]

[ALL LAUGHING] Rematch! Rematch!

Ow! That's it!

Harassment!Call my lawyer!

No Christmas spirit?

[YELLS]

[MYSTERIO LAUGHING]

Second floor.

Toys, housewares,

superhero defeats.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Kraven, no!

SPIDER-MAN: If the real

Mysterio's down there,

then this one's a bot.

A bot about to

[BOT BEEPING AND WHIRRING] Oh, fudge.

[GIRL YELLING]

[GROWLS]

Please tell me

these guys are going

on the naughty list.

Mysterio! I'm using that

stupid fishbowl of yours

as a snow globe.

Not if you can't find me.

[MYSTERIO GRUNTING]

Whoa, easy there, hero.

No need for vio Ouch!

Yeah, just making sure

you're not a bot.

I'm not, I'm not.

I know the Master Planner

set this up.

Who is he, and

what's he doing with

all that tech you stole?

Gee, I don't know.

Think maybe the

Master Planner has

a master plan?

[TIRES SCREECH] [SIRENS BEEP]

[INDISTINCT POLICE

RADIO CHATTER]

Be ready,

the Vulture's

still dangerous.

I'm sure Pete's fine.Why wouldn't I be?

Pete!Ow! Hot!

[STAMMERS]

Sorry, sorry.

Wait. No, I'm not sorry.

Where have you been?

The snack bar ran out

of cocoa, so I went down

the street. Why?

So, you missed

all the action?

I thought I

I thought you were

buried under that tree.

PETER: [SIGHS]

Parker, you are

a grade "A" idiot.

Um, Gwen

I know that

I've been unfocused MAN: He's gone.

MASTER PLANNER:

Extractions complete.

[BEEPING]

Extractions complete.

Or, nearly [SIRENS WAILING]

REPORTER ON TV:

The rest of the six

are still at large,

and considered

extremely dangerous.

This is not right.

Not right.

Otto, nobody's

going to hurt you.

[LOUD BANGING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[WHIMPERS] No!

No! No! No!

[SCREAMS]

REPORTER ON TV:

Only Mysterio was

taken into custody.

Man, he'd better not

be another robot.

Peter, please,

it's Christmas.

I'm sorry, Aunt May. [TURNS OFF TV]

Here. Open yours.

Oh, Peter, it's lovely.

I, I figured, it's

our first Christmas

without him.

I, I wanted

to find a way to
