incredible secret crime-fighting ieb.

Hibfl, at good old' Marvel,

we listen to our fans.

That's why right now

on this very show,

you're gonna get the answers

to all your questions.

Our amazing story

begins a few years ago.

You canfi: pick up

a copy of the Daily Bugle

Spider-Ma .

It's got to be a publicity stunt.

Publicity mm?

Imagine whet the world would say

if it knew how those amazing photos

were really taken.

OK, trusty old automatic camera,

lefs earn some bucks.

Nahum

{bran

but peddle them someplace else.

But, Mr Jameson, you always buy

my Spider-Man pictures.

Bought, Parker. As in past tense.

Take a look at this.

Spider-Man is old nevus.

Mm'?

I know who they are.

Firestar and Iceman.

The public wants to read about them,

not a has-been wall cravfler.

Those twvo superclo-uvns sell more

nevus-papers than that webbed weirdo.

So enter these in your school's

next photo contest.

When youfire got shots of Iceman

and Firestar, we'll talk business.

Sounds easy, huh?

Justget shots of Iceman and Firsstar.

Thepmblem is how?

Well, sometimes fate

can lend a hand,

qsnouumyepflw?

Well, hello there!

Well, someb-ody/'s found a friend.

You can say that again.

Her name's Ms Lion. I'm Angelica.

You sure are.

I'm Peter Piper.

Parker. Parker Peter.

Let's go, Angel. She's M111 me.

Seconds later, Peter noiioes

Tony Stark, the brilliant inventor,

who owns Stark International.

This is our latest computer,

designed for crime detection

and police work.

I know who could use that.

Your new computer, Stark,

the Beetle must have it!

OK, 'Ii you want it, buy 'It.

Wanna give me your autograph, Beetle?

I have all your records!

Where do you get your clothes,

bug breath? Trash City?

The Beeflewill stop at nothing.

Heknowsthisnewcompuler

will make his betfle suit

more powefiul than ever.

Iceman and Firestarl

Firestar and Iceman.

Boy, this is my lucky day!

Who said being

a photographer was easy?

Jameson wanted photos

of Firestar and Iceman, hey?

Well, he's also gonna get shots

of yours truly at no exlra charge.

I need this computer,

and I mean to take I't.

Sorry. You didn'l: say, 'May I?'

Gotcha!

Not a scratch on her, Mr Stark.

I'm sending you back in time, Beetle.

To the Ice Age.

Enough

Do you guys think he's had enough?

No!

Keep back!

Well, at least we saved

Mr Starks latest tinkertoy.

Tinkertoy

You make a good team.

I always thought of myself

as a single, but

Keep thinking that way, web head!

Yeah, she must be looking

for her o-uvner.

So am I.

I'll take care of her.

Let's go, Iceman.

Hey, why the cold shoulder?

What gives?

I'd call itjealousy.

She's something, but be glad

you're not a superhero, Mr Stark.

Sometimes,

I't can really ruin your day.

Is that so?

These are the pictures that

are paying the mortgage, Aunt May.

Mam.

You la1ow,

since we're so near the campus,

I'm considering taking in

student boarders for exlra money.

Good idea. I'll ask around.

It's ice cold!

Well, I guess

ifs better than nothing.

Now ifs hot.

Angelica. And who's this?

Bobby

That's Parker. Peter Parker.

[HUD ..

PHIL,

Boy, ifs suddenly chilly

around here.

Must have left the window open

or something.

Or something.

That's better. I think.

New I't feels like I'm getting a fever.

I'll take care of that.

WHEN;

I don't: feel so hot. That is, I do

I IIXI, In.

What's going on here?

That's a fire alarm.

From the science building.

Excuse us, Peter. Wefire got

Nit-ugh

- Leave.

Yeah, leave. Yeah, me too.

Peter knows full well, if the chemicals

in the lab catch on fire,

they'll blow the school sky-high!

Here comes your friendly

neighbourhood firemen!

Wefire gotta stop meeting like this.

Waikiki.

Those chemicals are gonna go boom.

- Good going.

- And how.

So we all show up at ESU, hey?

And then, on that fateful night,

as Peterdevelops his film

What's this?

Angelica Jones is Firestarl

And that must mean Iceman

is Bobby Drake.

Our hero is too excited to sleep.

All he can think of is

whet a terrific teem they'd be,

Spider-Man, Iceman, Firestar.

But he'd have to tell them

his own secret

fimfilélfi?

Weird, Spidey being here with us.

Weirder, he reminds me of somebody.

Not nice for superheroes

to talk about other superhero-es

behind their back, Iceman, Firestar.

You know?

Come on.

Wefire got some talking to do.

- Om

- OK.

Iceman!

Film-fiat]

We knew we make a good team.

- For sure.

- True.

Since team-mates

have to trust each other,

I place my trust in you.

Maybe you already guessed.

Spider-Man is really me.

Peter Parker.

Not in a million years.

Unbelievable!

That's how much I trust you guys.

Well, are we a team?

- You mow it.

- And how.

Alright.

We used to be X-Men, Bobby.

How about the Ex-X-Men?

Well, how about Iceman

and His Adoring Fans?

Or Moe, Larry and Iceman?

I la1owl

Spidey's gorl: the most experience.

Will] [IE together

And since we're all friends,

why not the Spider-Friends?

- That's OK M111 me!

- I'm flattered!

Then that's I't, Spider-Friends!

Go for it!

Hi, Aunt May.

who was lest seen flying nonh

from Stark': headquarters.

With that power booster,

the Beetle might become unstoppable.

- So what are we gonna do?

- Stop him, of course.

Of course.

Here's your lemonade.

Well, that's funny.

I thought they liked lemonade.

The Beetle had a hide-out

near the generator a mile from here.

- Se he could recharge himself.

- Exactly.

See, Spidey? I told you

he was smarter than he looked.

You hear ihat?

She said I'm smarter than I

Only kidding, frosty! There they are!

I'll have to recharge

at the generator soon before I

Those three meddlers again!

The famous power booster.

Just what I need.

Thafll keep 'em busy till I learn

how to use the power booster.

Then, world, watch out!

Hi, there. Remember me?

Falling?

The Heath's beginning to bug me.

That electro-bite ray really smarts.

- Think we can catch him?

- No chance now.

This is the second time

youfire all saved my life.

I'd like to take this chance

to do something for you,

and I won't take no for an answer.

Well, if you put I't that way,

we;

gadget

[HE-mum

Andthemyouheveit.

That's how our heroes managed

to get their own crime computer

and their hidden lebomtory.

Alright! Did you see I't?

Everything alright in here?

Aunt May, is that a new dress?

That's a neat one.

TRUE.

You're such a tease.

My. you do keep this place tidy.

- Try I't again.

- Yeah, lefs put this thing to work.

I'll try basic.

Find

I'll increase the range.

The power booster is increasing

my battle-suit strength.

Twice, three times, four, more!

Pouver enough to destroy

the company that created I't.

Se they can never make another.

I will be supreme!

What did you do? Break I't already?

Ne, this receiver

picks up micre-uvaves,

and microwaves power

the Beetlds battle suit.

- So ifs gotta be him.

- But whafs making I't go crazy?

I'm afraid there's only one answer.

He's found out how to use

the power booster. Come on.

WEE

His powefs blocked out the computer.

We den'l: knew where he is.

Then his in] some imagination.

Where might the Beetle go

to use his new power?

I'll keep trying to tune him in.

Lefssee, iflwereacrazy

like the Beetle,

I might attack New York's

money dislrict, Wall Street,

but I'm not the Beetle,

so I guess I guessed wrong about I't.

But if the Beetle isn't here,

then where? I've got it!

The Beetle probably wants

to take mrer the world.

What better place to get started

than the United Nations Building?

OK, so if ifs such e good place,

where's Mr Beetle?

Wail: a minute. I've got it!

Let's see if I can find the Beetle.

Got

Well, you figured I't out

Wifl10lJll a computer.

L'l: didn'l: take long to guess

that the Beetle wanted to have

the only power booster anywhere.

So he'd have to come back here

and destroy all the other power

boosters that Stark built, right?

Where's the Iron Men?

He's supposed to protect this place!

Beds me.

Our heme: wouldni be so puzzled

if they knew that Iron Man

is Tony Stark himself;

who, at this very moment,

is thousands of miles away

on a secret government mission.

Guess ifs up to us.

Film-fiat]

Watch out for his ele-clro bite!

You mean this?

What power!

Even hits you when he misses.

You see? With my new power,

I can VFilihSliflfld anything.

Anything?

Anything

Spidey, wdve got problems!

With a capital P,

and that stands for power booster.

OK, I guess ifs all up

to your friend and mine, me.

What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

Crushed ice is great,

but crushed friend is awful.

I've got an idea. Follow me,

and aim for the power booster.

And now

to finish Stark lnbemafional.

The power booster!

Heman, give him the quick deepireeze!

Starks gifl: to us

helped save his company.

And, in a way, brought us together.

He's looking at you, kids.

You know, I have the feeling this is

the start of a beautiful friendship.
