01x03 - The Fantastic Mr. Frump!

Post by bunniefuu »

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

Iceman and Firestar.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

The Lords of Lightning

are at my command.

Boris.

Master?

Go forth and bring me

the final piece of the amulet.

I must say the mystic words

within the hour.

Then I, Victor von Doom,

will possess the power of the universe.

Peter, you forgot your umbrella.

No time, Aunt May.

I'm late for the basketball game.

Faithful Boris, you have served me well.

Now let the transference of power begin.

What a great game.

Frump, you're a daydreamer.

You're fired.

Mr Frump? Didn't you use to do odd jobs

for my aunt, May Parker?

May Parker! She was so nice to me.

It would be wonderful to see her again.

She was the only one

who was ever nice to me.

She liked you too.

It's a shame you lost your job.

The story of my life.

Don't worry, Mr Frump. You never know

when good luck will strike.

Sure.

Turn on the transmitter.

I will mix the ancient with the new,

science with sorcery.

The mystic words on the amulet

will create a cosmic ray

that will make me lord

of all the earth and beyond.

I know. Let's have a race.

I'll even give you a head start.

Excuse me,

but I've got to do it the hard way.

Go!

Last one home gets to wash dishes.

Get the soap suds ready, web-head.

You're gonna lose.

I'll take a short cut.

That tower is just what I need.

I don't know what it is, but anything

Doom's doing is worth undoing.

Spider-Man! I can't let you stop me now.

By the mystic Roggoth Drail,

let Arlomagah prevail.

Doom, I didn't know you were into magic.

- Want to see some levitation?

- You fool!

Whoever holds the amulet

when the ray returns

will become the most powerful being

in the universe.

Gee, what's this?

Oh, dear, I broke it.

Nothing ever goes right for me.

You interfering insect!

Does this mean

we're not friends any more'?

Too close, hot stuff. You'll melt me.

- Where's Spidey?

- I thought he was behind me.

Spidey!

Come on. We've got to stop Doom

from getting his amulet.

We don't want Doom

to have his morning eggs?

Not omelette. Amulet.

An amulet that'll make him

the most powerful man in the universe.

Is that all?

- No job for you. Bug off!

- But your sign says

You heard me. Bug off!

You bug off!

The amulet!

There it is.

- It is mine. Give it to me.

- Over our dead bodies.

That is just an expression.

Look. It's weird old Frump.

Funny Frump, funny Frump,

looks like he lives in a garbage dump.

Go and jump in the lake.

- You're weird, Frump.

- You, clam up.

- He's burning through my shield.

- It just tickles me.

Let's see if you can stand the heat.

I am prepared for anything.

Instant refrigeration.

Have some, my dear.

Pretty nifty.

Hot and cold running armour.

You'll have no defence

against my sonic siren.

My ears can't stand it.

Release it or I will crush your wrist.

Can I really make my wishes come true?

Hot dog!

A hot dog.

But I like it with mustard and relish.

Oh, my, this will never do.

I want new shoes and fancy clothes.

And a gilded carriage

with six black horses.

And those nasty boys

will be my foot-servants.

I want someone special to be my friend

forever and ever.

Wonderful. I'll call you Mabel.

Must help Firestar.

Split up.

I only need one of you

to make the others surrender.

Spidey, jump!

Enough of these games.

Now I destroy you.

Storm, be gone.

I want rainbows and pretty clouds.

What in the world?

It's the power of the amulet.

What a dull city. I want bright colours

and red carpeting everywhere.

Someone else has the power

that should be mine.

This is all your fault, Spider-Man.

Count your blessings.

It could have been polka dots.

I didn't do it. Honest.

That's a good question, Mabel.

How did I get these powers?

Let the answer be revealed.

- The time has come to

- To disappear?

I am Lord Frump.

How did I get my powers?

I, Dr Doom, gave them to you

with a mystic spell,

and you will need my guidance.

Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt.

Hear me. First you must destroy

three terrible enemies.

Spider-Man, Firestar and Iceman.

- Bring them here.

- Let them appear!

It's Mr Frump.

- Look out!

- What are you doing?

- He was about to fire his sonic ray.

- I don't believe you.

Dr Doom is right. You are my enemies.

Turn to stone!

Spider-Man attacked me.

You never need fear them again,

Lord Frump.

The amulet! It's stone too.

Mabel, you're wonderful

but I need someone I can talk with.

And I know just the person.

Peter just loves my homemade

chocolate cake.

Mr Frump!

What are you doing in my kitchen?

Oh, dear!

Lord Frump, master of the universe.

I didn't know you were royalty.

- That lovely girl! What have you done'?

- Don't worry.

Look, I can restore them.

Be alive again!

You fool. They'll turn on us.

I take away all their superpowers.

Powers, begone!

I can't make heat.

And you're not cold.

Even my web-shooters don't work.

He's got my Aunt May.

I can do anything.

Give me a palace.

We don't need her.

If you touch her, I'll

This has to be a bad dream.

Somebody, wake me up.

Never mind that. Watch.

I want all the money in the world.

I will crush you in half.

Help! Money, begone!

Quick, get out of Doom's range.

If you can have anything,

why do you need money?

Give me the world's largest car.

A super-giant TV set.

Andi-

Why waste your time with frivolities?

We can rule the world.

- I want to have fun.

- Yes, of course.

You should be entertained

like a Roman emperor.

Yes. I want a Roman arena.

Good idea, Dr Doom.

We've got our powers back.

The most terrible warrior

in all history.

Genghis Khan!

Genghis, begone!

Make the mythical one-eyed Cyclops

and the three-headed dog-monster

Cerberus appear.

Be as Dr Doom says.

Nice Fido. Sit, Rover.

Don't just stand there,

throw it a biscuit.

It worked!

Strike one. Strike two. Strike three.

You're out.

Destroy them before they can attack us.

But I can't think of anything.

- An alien.

- Yes.

Let the weirdest creature

in the universe appear.

I saw this scene

in a science-fiction movie.

Who won?

This thing is just a lump of gelatine.

Nothing happened

It's stronger than I am.

I can't see.

I wonder who its dentist is.

It's horrible. Make it go away.

Silence, you foolish female.

No! Not Aunt May!

Frump, do whatever you want to me

but save her.

Yes, I'll save her.

I am WonderFrump, the most powerful

superhero in the world.

Come on, I'll take you all on.

- We don't want to fight you.

- You're no fun.

Be rooted to the spot!

- No!

- What the

There's a way out of this.

I can reverse the spell, but you must

give me all the pieces of the amulet.

We can't trust you.

You have no choice.

In a moment I'll have him make

a giant lawnmower.

He can do it, too.

This really is a day of miracles.

The Spider-Friends working with Dr Doom.

Everything belongs to me.

Frump, master of the universe.

Take me back this instant.

You're cruel and arrogant

and I don't like you any more.

Don't make me angry, May Parker.

I have one true friend left. Mabel.

Doom, what are you talking about?

How dare you speak to me like that,

you toad?

Your power will disappear in an hour.

- I don't believe you.

- It's true. That's what he told us.

- Unless he repeats the incantation.

- Then do it.

Do it right away.

Very well.

Take us to the roof of my embassy.

Re-create the storm.

Storm, come again as before.

I must turn on my transmitter.

Watch Doom carefully. You know

he's got some trick up his sleeve.

All is ready. Give me the amulet.

I don't know about this, guys.

Lord Frump, repeat after me.

- By the mystic Roggoth Drail

- By the mystic Roggoth Drail

- let Arlomagah prevail.

- ..let Arlomagah prevail.

That amulet doesn't look right.

Sure. Doom switched it.

He's holding the real one.

Yes, you fools!

Now I shall have the power.

Lords of Lightning, strike!

I'll hold off the lightning.

You guys stop Doom.

If you move, I'll destroy her.

No! I won't let you.

She's a better person than I am.

May Parker, be safe at home.

The ray is returning.

What?

Firestar, quick.

Fools. Idiots. You've ruined everything.

The power is gone forever.

But I'm Frump, master of the universe.

I order my world not to disappear.

The end of Lord Frump.

In moments,

we will not remember any of this.

But there is

another amulet of power somewhere

and I will never stop searching for it.

I think that's our cue

to get out of here.

It'll all be just like it was before.

Miserable.

Let me give you a lift.

What a rotten day. I just lost my job.

- If you only knew.

- I have no friends.

She likes me! I'll call her Mabel.

You know,

I can't believe that in a few moments

we're actually gonna forget

something as fantastic as this.

Forget what?
