Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Iceman and Firestar.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Alright! The old Flasharoo wins again.
Parker, look. I beat Video-Man again.
I scored 100 points.
Great, flash.
Too bad it's not your grade average.
That reminds me, Angelica.
You said you'd help me cram
for the quiz tomorrow.
That was before you started going steady
with Video-Man. It's too late now.
- Closing in five minutes, folks.
- Five minutes?
That gives me just enough time
to beat Video-Man again.
Arrogant punk. lfl didn't have
more important things to do,
I'd let Video-Man put you in your place.
Report on delivery of Video-Man games.
Delivered to penthouse
of millionaire GP Doone. Accepted.
Delivered to the lounge
at the currency exchange. Accepted.
Delivered to recreation room
at Fort Richard army base. Accepted.
Exactly perfect.
Tonight, I, Electro,
master of electricity itself,
will let loose upon the world
my greatest creation.
Video-Man. The creature from the game.
Don't forget about helping me
with my quiz.
- Maybe Video-Man can help you.
- Stay out of this, Drake.
Alright, Flash. Let's go
to the library for a few minutes.
See you later, guys.
What's so great about him?
You mean besides being big, strong,
handsome and a football star?
- But he's got meat between his ears.
- Yeah.
Video-Man, strike.
I got a great idea. Let's go back
and play one more Video-Man game.
Flash, you're a total creep.
I'm going home.
I'll just plug it in
and give old Video-Man another
Flash?
Angelica! You're Firestar?
Angelica!
No! Video-Man?
Firestar! Help!
Flash!
No!
Help! Let me out! Help!
You monster!
Unreal!
Got to get the guys.
Battle stations, boys.
There's a live Video-Man monster loose.
It got Flash.
- You've got to be kidding.
- I wish I were.
- Get going.
- Here comes Iceman.
Look. At the physics lab.
That's him.
Help! Let me out!
You're lucky I transferred
your electrons to my main console
before the other game blew up.
Now you can have some real fun.
You like video games, don't you?
Well, now you are one.
Every time the ball hits you,
I score a point.
And when I score 100 points, you lose.
You really lose. Your life.
When I score 100, I turn off the power
and you will vanish forever.
Just electron particles
scattered to oblivion.
How do you like
being on the other end of the game,
you smart-alec punk?
- Watch out!
- Duck!
Look out!
Forget Spider-Man and his friends.
Grab the alloy.
It's after the new space alloy.
You're good. You're really good.
- I can't believe Flash is gone.
- We did our best, angel.
It wasn't good enough.
The creature escaped.
Where's Peter?
Here I am.
Hurry. It's terrible.
It happened right in the middle
of my favourite soap opera.
Sorry, Aunt May.
You'll need an electrician for this.
Electrician! That's it.
Excuse us. I just remembered
something I forgot.
I think I know
who the villain is behind Video-Man.
Computer on.
- I want a read-out on
- Are you busy?
I thought you might like
some iced tea and banana bread.
- That's great. Thanks.
- I could have sworn I heard Ms Lion.
She's probably under the bed,
the silly thing.
Ms Lion!
My, things do have a way
of popping up around here.
Say, why don't you go next door to Mrs
Watson's and watch your soap opera?
Are you sure you won't need me?
Don't worry about us. Go enjoy yourself.
Read-out and status report.
E-L-E-C- T-R-O.
Efectro Incorporated,
maker of Video-Man game.
Location unknown.
Four games
delivered to locations as shown.
Addresses on my printout.
- I'll go to the penthouse.
- I'll check the currency exchange.
I'll take the army base.
- Spider-Friends
- Go for it!
Only I can enjoy a few deadly volts
of electricity.
Now that you have the hang of the game,
Mr Thompson,
let's speed things up.
This is a robbery. Everybody freeze
or you get gas-bombed.
Did I hear the word freeze?
You're lucky
you didn't ask for cold cash.
Welcome, Firestar.
You're in time to witness the test
of our new heat-seeking missile.
Sir, the heat-seeker
is turning back this way.
That's impossible.
Unless it's coming after you, Firestar.
Then I'll lead it away.
The more heat I use, the faster it gets.
Video-Man, once again I set you free.
Strike!
Here's the game.
It was an anonymous gift.
Some present!
Run!
Let's see how you like zero degrees.
Great. He loves it.
There's no way out, Iceman.
You're trapped in there forever.
It's after the gold.
Excellent!
Now, quickly, to target number three.
We don't even know who sent it.
Bu“ do.
It's stealing copper?
What's happened? Where am I?
One last target
and no one will be able to stop me.
So this is how a millionaire lives.
It's video-game heaven.
Watch out, Video-Man.
If you miss me, you'll hit a relative.
Come back here. I was winning.
My spider sense is tingling.
What's next?
“I have your friends, you are next!
Electro."
Firestar! Iceman!
How can this be? How can I help?
So much for Spider-Man.
I'll keep the rest of you around
to play with.
Until I get tired of you
or until you lose the game.
Now I have everything I need to steal
all the electricity in the world.
We can't keep this up.
I'm going to try my powers.
Look. It works.
I've kept your electron patterns
trapped in my central computer.
I can wipe you out of existence
like this.
You have 3O seconds to win the race
or I turn off the power.
My aching head!
He's taken my friends.
He took Doone's silver bullion.
And I don't know if Iceman and Firestar
are still alive.
So look out, Electro, wherever you are.
Spider-Man's coming.
The bridge. We're almost there.
No!
Very clever.
And how are you doing, punk?
A little faster.
That's fast enough. For now.
Remember, when the score reaches 100
Don't tell me,
it took something valuable,
zapped Firestar and then blew itself up.
Yes. But all it stole
was plain old copper.
Copper? Gold, silver, copper.
The three best conductors
of electricity.
And the alloy he took
is a safe non-conductor, for insulation.
He's building a super-transformer.
I can't stand it.
I've got to try something.
Did you see that? My ice balls
came back on the opposite side.
Maybe there's a way out
off the screen through the wiring.
Let's go for it!
- We're on another screen. It worked.
- Let's keep going.
Flash!
Angelica! Boy, am I glad to see you.
Did you know she's Angelica Jones?
- How did you
- He saw me change.
We'll have to take care of that one
later. if there ever is a later.
Right. Stay here
while we look for a way out.
The computer listed this area
as number-one choice
for a transformer to steal power.
All circuits intersect around here.
My spider sense. Tingling like crazy.
Electro is close.
This ultra-transformer will give me
the power of an entire city.
And then
What is it?
You fools.
I would have kept you around for hours,
maybe even days.
But now you must play the final game,
the one you can't win.
Meteors of Doom.
Spaceships with laser cannons.
The attacks will get faster and faster.
And when the timer reaches zero,
the game shuts off.
Everything in it, including you,
will be wiped out, erased.
You won't exist.
This isn't so bad.
We'll knock them out and
Look out!
If those super-bozos can escape,
so can Flash Thompson.
Hut one, hut two, hut three.
A blackout. That's it.
Electro is stealing
all the power in the city.
Why is that light still on?
I'm onto something. Hope the city will
understand this is for a good cause.
My spider sense told me
Electro was nearby.
- Spider-Man.
- What a shocking reception.
- I can't keep this up much longer.
- Neither can I.
We'll never stop them all.
Flash! You saved us.
Man!
Look. The screen's getting black.
In 3O seconds, the game shuts off.
- No use.
- Nothing.
Sparky, who pays your electric bill?
Spidey! Spider-Man!
Help! Over here!
Here, Spidey. Here.
- Here! Help!
- Here!
What took you so long, buddy?
I stopped off for a burger and a shake.
- What happened?
- Are you OK, Flash?
Yeah, but what happened?
I don't remember anything.
He doesn't remember anything.
My buddy Spider-Man told me
I rescued him from Electro.
And it's all because playing this game
takes speed, reflexes
and superhuman control.
Doesn't he ever learn?
Watch this.
Flash, Ms Lion challenges you
to a game of Pongo.
Say, I think I remember.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Pongo. I can play anything but Pongo.
Excuse me, I gotta go to class,
lift some weights, run some errands.
I got to get out of here.
