01x12 - Pawns of the Kingpin

[bunniefuu]

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

Iceman and Firestar.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!

Gentlemen, you are about to witness

a technological miracle.

I paid 50,000 for these

and I got a bargain.

You're looking at the Omni-blaster,

an experimental weapon

equipped with every ray imaginable,

such as this incredibly powerful

magnetic beam.

And this devastating expl*sive ray.

Take a look at this deadly melting beam.

That wall is reinforced concrete,

six feet thick.

The Omni-blaster is stored here

at this full-security government plant

inside the most impregnable vault

in the world.

That's one safe

even you can't bust open, boss.

I don't intend to, Crusher. He will.

The so-called Star-Spangled Avenger,

Captain America.

He's the only outsider

they've trusted inside that plant.

And now

Iceman?

Yes. He's my other thief.

Captain America and Iceman

will steal the Omni-blaster for me.

With its fantastic powers,

I can destroy any superhero

who dares interfere

with my empire of crime.

- Who are you kidding, Kingpin?

- Kidding?

Doctor Faustus.

Crusher here has just volunteered

for your demonstration.

Splendid, Doctor.

Your psycho-disc is virtually invisible.

Your will is now mine for 12 hours,

Crusher.

Tell him he's a chicken.

You are a chicken.

He's just acting, right, Kingpin?

Tell Crusher he can fly, Doctor Faustus.

Fly away, Crusher. Fly away.

He did it.

Doctor Faustus made him think

he could fly.

If you think that's something,

wait till you see what I have in store

for Captain America

and his ludicrous ice-covered friend

when they appear tomorrow at ESU.

Now, where did Peter, Angelica

and Bobby run off to?

- There he is.

- Captain America.

Yeah, Cap. Hooray.

Students of ESU,

today you will see what years of

training and exercise have done for me.

But first, my three guest stars.

The fantastic Firestar.

The incredible Iceman.

And the Amazing Spider-Man.

- Yeah, Spidey.

- Way to go, web-head.

To start off the show,

I want my three super-partners

to try to stop me

from crossing that finish line.

And we're really gonna try.

Cap's the celebrity I'll interview

for my journalism assignment.

- I thought you asked me.

- You asked me, too.

No of fence, guys, but Cap's

always been my favourite superhero.

- Me next.

- Sign my book, please.

Can I have an autograph?

The psycho-disc is now in place.

Good. Continue as planned.

Captain America, you star-spangled fool,

you will do precisely as I command.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, sir.

Here, Aunt Mrs Parker.

It's for my dear nephew, Peter.

My! You do give a body a chill,

don't you?

I'll trade you seven Icemans

for one Captain America.

I forgot. The interview.

Cap!

Can we do that interview now, Cap'?

- It's due tomorrow and

- Sure, but later.

I need your help, Iceman,

on a top-secret mission.

The nation's security depends

on the two of us. Tell no one.

- Where's the walking refrigerator?

- I don't know.

But from the way

my spider sense is tingling,

I hope he didn't just hitch a ride.

You look for freeze-face, OK,

while I check out that limo.

What was that?

The wall-crawler. Dump him.

It's useless. He sticks like glue.

He's about to come unglued.

Head for the railroad crossing.

Our timing must be perfect.

This'll shock him unconscious.

Spider-Man. No! I'll never reach him.

I guess some boys never

grow out of playing with choo-choos.

And that's what happened. Wish I'd

gotten a peek inside that limo, but

Yes, sure was too bad.

I'll see you later, partner,

about our interview.

Iceman, I'm waiting outside

Slumber Hills cemetery.

I'm on my way, Cap-

SLUMBER HILLS CEMETERY

Ready, partner?

I knew something was up

when Cap set off my spider sense.

They've already left.

They should be easy to follow as long

as Frosty's ice bridge keeps dripping.

"US government property."

It's actually a nest of enemy spies.

We must get the Omni-blaster before

those spies can turn it against us.

I'll short-circuit the fence.

Let's go, partner.

Captain America!

It's like the prop department

for the next space movie.

Captain America, what brings you

What's? It's Captain America.

Don't know what's wrong with him,

but he's got to be stopped.

This shock ray will do it.

There it is, partner.

You know what to do.

It's made of a special metal

but I can make it split.

The Omni-blaster!

Tell me this is all a bad dream, Spidey.

Cap and Iceman have turned traitors.

Traitors? Iceman and Captain America?

I don't wanna believe it.

- You two got us all wrong.

- Don't let them fool you, partner.

They're dangerous androids

made to look like your friends.

Androids?

Androids that must be destroyed.

What does it take

to convince you we're not androids?

Could an android do this?

Say, Cap, maybe she's right.

Don't listen to the android, Iceman.

That's why we were chosen for this job

by the President himself.

The President?

Come on, blizzard-brain.

Can't you tell it's really us?

Save it, web-head.

He's only listening to Cap.

Come on, Iceman.

- They're cancelling each other out.

- The Omni-blaster can remedy that.

A freeze ray.

Firestar!

- That gadget can do everything I can.

- And a lot more.

The 12-hour limit on Captain America's

psycho-disc is almost up.

And when that moment comes,

he will no longer be under our control.

Don't worry, Kingpin.

All is going according to schedule.

My schedule.

- What“?

- Say I am the boss.

You you're the boss.

Too weak. Can barely move.

Can't break ice but maybe won't have to.

Thanks. Now the others.

I must warn you, the Omni-blaster

has a self-destruct mechanism.

Press this black button

and seven seconds later it will explode.

Explode?

Then let's move.

I stuck a spider tracer on Cap

so we can follow him anywhere.

Say, where are we, Cap'?

Who lives in this fancy place?

The man who gives me my orders.

The President lives in the White House.

Not the President, Iceman.

The king. As in Kingpin.

My compliments, Iceman.

Have you thought of stealing

as a profession?

Cap, what's going on?

I'm not too sure.

You arrived here in the nick of time.

Any second now

your psycho-disc will burn itself out.

What? The Kingpin and Doctor Faustus.

Psycho-disc? Cap's been

under some sort of mind control.

Heat ray!

For the heroic Captain,

how about a stun ray?

- Get rid of them.

- You were saying? Tell them, Kingpin.

Tell them who is now

the boss of all bosses.

You, Doctor Faustus. You, boss.

So the trail leads

to the Kingpin's mansion.

Surprise, surprise.

Look what I found.

He's rigid. Wait. This may do it.

Spider-Man. I've been under

a diabolical mind-control device.

I tricked Iceman

into helping me steal the Omni-blaster.

This super-cold CO2 spray

ought to revive Mr Cool.

Thanks, hot stuff. We gotta

get that Omni-blaster before

Before what, super-freak?

Look. I've not only conquered four

superheroes, but the Kingpin as well.

Here, sl*ve.

You dispose of the troublemakers.

Gladly, Doctor Faustus.

I will start

with the number one troublemaker.

- You.

- But you can't.

You pompous fool,

thinking you could conquer the Kingpin.

I never trusted you, Faustus.

That's why I had

this special neck band made.

You made a mistake, Faustus.

Your last mistake.

Let's take him.

- Spider-Friends

- Go for it!

I know when I'm outnumbered.

What's this?

A long undermrear convention?

Let's waste 'em.

You g*ons

are sure enough welcome to try.

Let's total that shield-slinger.

Why don't you start off

with the little lady, meat-heads?

Crystal-clear ice

is getting to be my speciality.

You. You.

I knocked him off my car,

now I'll knock him off for good.

OK, tubby, where's the down button?

Here.

Tubby?

It's all muscle.

And now, wall-crawler,

which beam shall we give you?

The only one I haven't used

is this black button.

- It has a rather ominous look about it.

- The black

No, Kingpin, not the black.

What's that noise?

You've activated

the self-destruct gizmo.

In seven seconds, we go boom.

What do you mean, we?

Happy landings, insect.

If the Omni-blaster doesn't finish me,

the crash will, so

TRIO-imam.

If there's a reward

where they pay by the pound,

I'll be one rich Spider-Man.

No!

I'd give you a hand, Kingy,

if I knew which pig was you.

See you, partners. A job well done.

I still don't have my interview.

I almost forgot, Iceman,

I recorded this interview just for you.

Thanks, Cap.

Oh, no. My cold power. I've ruined it.

So tell me, Iceman,

when did you first discover

you had super powers?

As a baby,

I accidentally froze my formula.

Well, tell me, iceman

He's interviewing himself!

Call me Frosty. My friends do.

Well, thank you, Iceman.

I mean, Frosty.

Don't mention it, Robert.

I mean, Bobby.

Right.

After that,

I became the only kid on the block

who always had a Popsicle for breakfast.

Then there was the time

I made my first snow castle on July 4th.

I was up by the lake
