01x12 - Spider-Man on Ice

[bunniefuu]

SPIDER-MAN: Is it scientifically feasible
for a human being to melt?

Phew! This heat wave is k*lling me.
[GRUNTS]

I know when I created
this Spider-Man look,

I wanted it to be a beacon of hope,

but maybe head-to-toe spandex
wasn't the coolest idea.

[PURRING]
[SIGHS]

Third rule of superheroics,

always know where the best alleys are
for changing clothes.

It keeps lookie-loos
from seeing your spider-undies.

Fourth rule of superheroics,
never use the word "lookie-loo."

Ah, much better.
And I'm even on time to meet Harry.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Are you okay? So sorry.

Thanks, kid.

-Now get out of the way.
-Hey!

-Said I was sorry.
-Coming through!

[SIRENS WAILING IN THE DISTANCE]

POLICE OFFICER:
Hold it right there, Macklin!

-[MACKLIN GRUNTS]
-Nice job there, kid.

You just stopped a member
of Hammerhead's g*ng.

Randy Macklin just robbed
the jewelry store on 5th.

Wish we got more help
from regular people like you.

My job would be a lot easier.

Thanks. Uh, have a good day.

Wow. Guess I can be just as effective
out of my Spidey duds.

I need to patrol the city
as Peter Parker-- Whoa!

[GRUNTS]

Pete, you're a genius!

No, I just got in his way, really.

I'm talking about the cryogenic gauntlet.

Take a look at this.

I took the revised designs
you e-mailed me,

realigned the coils, and look!

PETER:
Whoa! We did it!

We created a way to freeze food
without agents like Freon.

Our joint science project
will finally show everyone

that Horizon High and Osborn Academy
can work together

in a friendly, non-competitive way.

Although my dad will be furious
when he finds out.

Yeah. He'll support that
when Horizon freezes over. Hmm?

I only had a small refractor in my lab,

so this is the biggest thing
I could freeze.

But if I had something larger...

-Where did this come from?
-Oh-h*, that's perfect!

I don't know--
Let me just raise the level a notch,

and your sandwich becomes...
[BEEPING]

-[GRUNTS]
-Whoa!

-[METAL CLICKS]
-Oh, that might be too much ice.

No such thing as too much ice.

HARRY: Huh?
-I know you. Macklin!

-You're that thief I stopped earlier!
-You what?

I stopped him. Pete--
[CHUCKLES]

Peter Parker did. I did--

I helped the cops by getting in his way.

Then you helped me by holding on
to my diamond. But now I want it back.

[BOTH GRUNTS]

Hey! But we need that
to generate more ice.

More ice, huh? From what I just saw,

-[GRUNTS]
-maybe I should be taking this too.

PETER: Harry, are you okay?
Don't worry. I'll take care of him.

Don't be a hero twice in one day, kid.

Stop! You don't know what
that thing's capable of! Aah!

♪ [OPENING THEME] ♪

[PANTS]

[SHIVERING]
Not what I had in mind

when I said I wanted it to be cooler.

-Pete, we've got to get our gauntlet back.
-Huh?

The only thing you've got to do
is start shoveling!

[EXHALES]
In a sec, Joe.

Let me just see if that cop
is still outside. [GRUNTS]

Oh, no, Pete. You are not pulling
another one of your disappearing acts.

-He coming back?
-I wouldn't count on it.

[HUMS]
[GRUNTS]

Wish I'd put a tracer on Macklin
so I knew which way he went-- Huh?

Well, that's a trail
even Peter Parker can follow.

Where the heck is Mackerel?

It's "Macklin." And Frankie here thinks
he got pinched by the cops.

The cops? How stupid can he be?

This was an easy job.

You break into the jewelry store
and steal a diamond.

See this? This right here
is why I should only hire supervillains.

They cost more, but they're ten times
better than you regular yahoos.

I got it, boss.

HAMMERHEAD:
Mack-a-lin!

Ha, ha! I was just talking about you.

I thought you were picked up by the cops.

No, I gave them the slip.

Used my noggin.

Oh, look at the brain on this guy.

I like it when you're smart.
Now bring her to Papa.

Although, the smart thing to do
would be to hang on to it.

What? What did you just say?

Well, you just said
supervillains make more dough,

and as long as I got the diamond
to put in this glove thing here,

-I got superpowers.
-[DEVICE HUMS]

What you got is nerve, Mac-n-cheese!

You're a regular guy
who gets his regular cut.

Well, you think because you can make
snow cones now you deserve the ice?

You hand over my diamond!

Oh, I don't think so, boss.

Now pay me what I'm worth,

or else you and everyone
who's ever underestimated me

is gonna get a cold, hard wake-up call.

[SIGHS]
You're not gonna be worth much dead.

Hey, boys, let's show the snowball here
how it's done.

I warned you.

[ALL GRUNT]

[MACKLIN LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

SPIDER-MAN:
I got to hand it to you, Macklin.

[BOTH GRUNT]
[THUDS]

Most th*gs just say they're gonna
put people on ice. You actually do it.

[GRUNTS]
The name's not Macklin anymore.

Oh? Let me guess. Mr. Zero. Fridge Face.

"The Man Who Stole Some Tech
That Didn't Belong To Him

And Now He Thinks He's A Big Shot" Guy?

Joke all you want. The name's Blizzard.

Blizzard! I was so close.

Well, I got news for you, Blizzard.

It takes more than a name
and some cool tech

to go from being a regular guy
to a super one.

It takes power and responsibility!

Now just give me the gauntlet
before someone else gets hurt.

Let me save you the suspense, Spider-Man.

Someone is gonna get hurt,

and that someone is you.

-Uh-oh. Webs froze.
-[WIND HOWLING]

That's not all that's gonna freeze.

First, your webs.

Then your whole body!

Don't be so dramatic.

I thought snowmen were happy,
jolly souls. [GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]
[THUDS AND GRUNTS]

I think I'm getting the hang of this.

[GRUNTING]

Hammerhead always got my name wrong.

But the world won't.
They will know me as Blizzard,

the guy who brought New York City
to its knees.

That's a little too much
to put on a business card.

You're right. Let's shorten it

to "The guy who froze Spider-Man."

HARRY: Hey!
SPIDER-MAN: Harry!

That's my gauntlet!

And that's my cue to break out of here!
[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]

Look out! Aah!

[STUTTERS]
You're welcome.

[EXHALES]

I did it! I put Spider-Man on ice!

Now let's show the world what I can do.

[GRUNTS]
[GLASS SHATTERS]

SPIDER-MAN:
No!

[STUTTERING]
Somehow thought Spider-Man on ice

would involve more music and dancing.
[PANTS]

-Wait! Where are you going?
-To get my gauntlet back.

Let me do it.
I'm better equipped than you.

[CHUCKLES] I'm not the one
who got himself frozen in ice.

True. But given enough time,
the heat of my body should melt the ice.

Please! That would take forever.

Well, do you have any ideas?

Because Blizzard is getting away,

and you're not exactly
going for the gold here.

No. But we'd be better off
if I got the silver!

[SHIVERING]

Because silver has the highest
thermal connectivity of any element!

Genius!

-[HUMMING]
-What are you doing?

Looking for quarters
that were minted before 1964.

That's the last time
they made them out of silver.

Talk about taking forever.

Twenty-ten, 1998...

[SHIVERING]
You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Yes.

I like showing you that you need us
more than we need you, Spider-Man.

I can't argue with you
at this particular moment,

but right now the Blizzard
needs to be stopped.

So, if you wouldn't mind, I saw some bags
of jewelry in the corner.

Some of it's got to be silver.

HARRY:
Bags of jewelry, huh?

[METALLIC CLINKING]
[GRUNTS]

Got to say, this isn't exactly
what I expected

-in Hammerhead's gangster wardrobe.
-[METALLIC CLINKING]

Although you do look good in that tiara.

[SIGHS]
[ICE BREAKING]

Thanks for thawing me out.

And for not calling me an ice queen.

I know that was probably hard to resist.

Would be helpful if we could somehow
sustain that fusion process.

Hey, that cryogenic gauntlet you made.

Do you think you can make one
that generates heat?

I don't see why not.

I've got the original prototype
back at Oz Academy.

My friend Pete and I made it together.

[PHONE BUZZING SOFTLY]

I'll have him meet me there,
and we'll work on it.

-[BUZZING CONTINUES]
-Wait. Do you hear that? I hear a buzzing.

Huh? Uh, no. I think, uh-- ice messes
with sound. [BEEPS]

Shh! There it is again.
You don't hear that?

Nope.
[SIGHS]

[GROANS] Went to voice mail.
Hey, Pete, it's Harry.

Meet me at Osborn Academy.

Macklin's freezing the city,
and we're gonna stop him.

By turning our cold design into a hot one.

SPIDER-MAN:
Oh, boy. Looks like Blizzard

is definitely trying to make his mark.

Won't be so easy to follow him this time.

Sure, it will. The cryogenic gauntlet
has a GPS built in.

-That's right! It does!
-How do you know?

I figure most things
have GPS nowadays, right?

Phones, cars, cryogenic gauntlets...

You, uh-- You want a lift
to Osborn Academy?

I'm good. Here, take this.
It's the GPS tracker.

Thanks. And tell the cops to use that
silver to free Hammerhead's g*ng!

Pay attention, New York.

The Blizzard is everything
Randy Macklin never was.

Cold, slick, strong--

-Not to mention cracked!
-[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

So is that your thing, swinging in
and kicking people mid-sentence?

Because that's the second time
you've done that now. [GROWLS]

I like to think my thing is to bring
th*gs like you to justice!

I'm not a regular thug. I'm the Blizzard!

Yeah, I got that.

But guess what? My forecast says

there's gonna be a blizzard
in prison tonight,

with a hundred-percent chance of...

conviction!

MACKLIN: When are you gonna realize
that you can't stop me

because you can't get near me
without freezing?

[ALL WHIMPER]

[ELECTRIC POST CREAKS]

Have to get away from him
if I want my webbing to work.

[GRUNTS]

And insulate myself to ground the current.

[GRUNTS]

-Stay indoors until it's safe!
KID: Thanks, Spidey!

Not going to survive
if I don't winterize my costume.

But Horizon's
buried under snow at this point.

Looks like my only chance is Oz Academy.

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

[PANTS]
Hey, got your message.

-How's the new gauntlet coming?
-Almost done.

And how is it Oscorp
is the only building not buried in snow?

My dad spared no expense in insulating

the building's exterior
with auto heating units.

It's basically the same technology
behind car seat warmers.

Uh, the man's a genius.

[SHIVERING]

He wasn't genius enough
to create comfy long johns, was he?

I sure could use a pair.

[CHUCKLING]
No. But I was.

Uh, sort of. Check my locker.

[GASPS]

Huh?

We had an assignment in Toomes's class

to create a material
that could help firefighters

maintain their normal body temperature
despite outside conditions,

so, uh, I made a few
of those thermo-suits.

The stuff on the table is what I used
to simulate the hot-weather conditions.

Huh? Impressive.

Glad to see the Osborn genius
didn't skip a generation.

Nope. Like father, like son.

Huh?

These materials are exactly what I need
to winterize my webbing.

[GLASS CLINKS]

Have you been able to convert the
gauntlet's cold signature to a heat one?

And how!
[CHUCKLES]

Now check this out.

Whoa!

PETER:
Harry, what did you do to it?

It's our gauntlet tech.
I just made it more user-friendly.

You mean you weaponized it.

Yeah! That's what the Blizzard
did with our original gauntlet,

so why not fight fire with fire?

Or ice with fire?

Harry, we created the original
to help people, not potentially hurt them.

They're not gonna get hurt.
They're gonna be saved.

[GRUNTS]
Look how awesome this is.

Harry, as co-creator of that tech,
I can't allow you to use it like that.

[SCOFFS]
Wow. What are you, my dad?

All anybody wants to do is stop me
from using what I make.

I'm not trying to be like your dad. I--

I'm just trying to restore the integrity
of our project.

Please, Harry. Rethink this.

[SIGHS]
Fine!

-Look, I'm not saying you can't--
-[PHONE CHIRPING]

[GASPS]

[SIGHS]
This storm's getting worse.

I should go check on Aunt May.

Let me know
when you've restored the gauntlet.

I hated to discourage Harry like that,

but if that flaming sword ever got
in the wrong hands, it could be trouble.

Luckily, no one's getting their hands
on these awesome thermals.

Mm! Toasty!

[ENGINE REVVING]

Hands where we can see them!

Aw, you didn't say "freeze."

I was counting on you saying "freeze."

[GROANS] Now, what were some
of my other comebacks? Let's see.

"Freeze. " "Gonna put you on ice."

Ah, yes! The boys in blue.

Let's see how you feel
when your faces match your uniforms.

[GRUNTING]

Sorry I'm late, boys.
There was traffic on the freezeway.

Would you look at that?
You're right. That is my thing.

I do like to kick people mid-sentence.

[SCOFFS] Spider-Man, how are you
surviving these temperatures?

Oh, I just got way hotter,
if I do say so myself.

Check out these thermal webs, baby.

[BOTH GRUNT AND YELL]

They're red hot.

And you should see me write my name
in the snow.

[GRUNTING]

[SIZZLING]

You fool!

You think thermal webs will help?

It's time for you to chill out!

You're out-classed.

But not out-sized.

MACKLIN: Time to face the cold,
hard facts, Spider-Man.

You're going down!

Did anyone else feel a chill
run down their spine?

SPIDER-MAN:
Look, everyone loves a snow day,

but this is getting way out of hand!

HARRY: Back off, Blizzard!
ALL: Huh?

-Harry! What are you doing?
-Making a difference.

Get out of here. This is no place for you.

He's just a regular guy
who's making his mark with some tech.

My tech! Now I'm gonna do the same.

Harry!

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

Officer, get this guy to safety.

-Well, what are you gonna do?
-Create some freezer burn.

Can't hide in there, Blizzard.

Or should I say...

Macklin?

No! No! No!

I'm more than this!
I'm more than just Macklin!

[GRUNTING]

Really? Because it looks like you're back
to being a common thug.

Funny how when you put a lot of pressure
on carbon, it becomes a diamond.

But when you put a lot of pressure
on a regular person,

-some of them just crack.
-[MACKLIN SIGHS]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

JOE:
More ice?

There's plenty where that came from.

How's it feel?

[EXHALES]
It hurts.

-It will heal.
-I meant my ego.

Why can't I ever create anything
that I get to use?

I mean, first my dad sidelines
my projects,

and now Blizzard and Spider-Man
steal my thunder.

-Harry, your invention saved the day.
-No, Spider-Man saved the day.

I guess I just wanted a moment
like you had

when you stopped Macklin this morning.

That's what this is about?
Harry, that was chance.

What you have is intelligence.

And I know that if you keep
creating things to help people,

then chances are,
you'll have your moment too.

It was pretty cool, wasn't it?

Harry, it was 30 below out there.

Everything in this city was cool.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[LAUGHS]
You're the worst.

[CLINKS]
[HUMMING]

-Can I help you, young man?
-Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

I don't know if you heard,
but I was the guy who stopped the burglar

that robbed this place yesterday,

and so I thought I'd return this.

-Our fake display diamond?
-Fake what now?

Yes. It's cubic zirconia.

We wouldn't keep a diamond
that valuable in the window.

Oh, so I didn't really do anything?

Oh, well, I wouldn't say that.
You did interrupt my lunch.

Would you mind if I keep this then?

[CHUCKLES] What do you want
with an ordinary piece of glass?

Don't underestimate "ordinary."

Under the right circumstances,
it can do extraordinary things.

[GROANS]
Phew!

Never thought I'd be happy
to feel this heat wave again.

-[SIREN WAILING]
-Guess it goes to show you

that even life runs hot and cold.

Best you can do...

is be prepared.

And today,
wearing shorts definitely helps.
