Quest of the Red Skull
1
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Iceman and Firestar.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Heil Hitler.
Nefn, Dummkopfi
American Indian design. Fool.
There he is.
This is the music
my generation grew up with.
The music of the war years.
Yeah, the Revolutionary War.
You're not funny, Flash.
Professor Welles means World War ll,
in the 1940s.
- It was in all the papers.
- I must have missed it.
I think I'll try my hand at dancing
to these weird tunes with your date.
Come on, Mona.
You're wrong about Mr Thompson
not being funny, Peter.
You should have seen
his last test paper.
I read it and laughed
and laughed and laughed.
Now.
- Pillows.
- But that means
Correct. I was expecting you.
Gas!
The back yard.
The Red Skull!
Alex, Hilly,
stay here and search until you find it.
I will take Professor Hiawatha Smith
to headquarters for questioning.
Thanks, Professor Welles.
It was a great class party.
If you don't pass your finals,
you'll get to enjoy it again next year,
Parker.
You're a wonderful host. Good night.
Which is more than I can say for you,
Peter.
Letting Flash Thompson
yank me away like that.
I wasn't about to have a fight
in a professor's house.
Besides, most girls like him.
In case you haven't noticed,
I'm not like most girls.
My spider sense. Something's wrong
in Professor Smith's house.
How you doing, Mona?
Good night, Parker.
Mona, I know
you'll never forgive me for this.
Flash, big fella, I'd like you
to take Mona home for me.
Safely.
Why, sure, Parker.
Come on, Mona.
Sometimes being a superhero
is really the pits.
This had better be
top-priority important.
We've looked everywhere.
The Scorpio Engraving is not here.
Do you want to go back
and tell that to the Red Skull?
The Red Skull.
That's top priority alright.
That's it. The Scorpio Engraving.
The Scorpio Engrav
The Scorpio Engraving.
The key
to the greatest treasure on earth.
When World War II ended,
all the gold, jewels, money and
art treasures captured by the Nazi army
were hidden in a secret tomb,
along with incredible new experimental
super-weapons for warfare.
Guns. Gases. Rockets.
With this unbelievable fortune
and the weapons,
I, the Red Skull,
will be the next Hitler.
I will lead an army against all mankind.
I will start World War III.
And this time we will win.
Heil Skull.
The Scorpio Engraving
will lead me to the treasures.
Thank you, Hiawatha Smith,
and farewell.
Great python, hear the Indian gods
who respect all life.
Crush the metal bar which holds me.
Crush it. Great python, crush it.
Glad we speak the same language.
Peter should have been back
from the party long ago.
It's nothing to worry about.
He's with Mona.
- Mona Osborn?
- The one I date.
Let's take Ms Lion for a walk.
Yeah. Near Professor Welles' house.
Gotta get some air and clear my head.
- Look.
- It's Spidey.
I'm glad to see you.
But what brought you out here?
My special Iceman sense
told me there was trouble.
Your what? You don't have any special
Iceman sense that warns you of danger.
It was worth a try. There's something
strange going on back there right now.
- You're Hiawatha Smith.
- And you're from the Red Skull.
No, Professor.
It was his creeps who gassed me.
We're friends, Professor Smith.
I'm Iceman. She's Firestar. And he's
I'm the Spider-Man
who's stuck in his own web.
Come on inside. I can use you.
The whole world can use you.
Adolf Hitler.
The most evil man who ever lived.
The man who started World War II.
The man the Red Skull wants to be.
World War ll began in 1939
and ended in 1945.
Almost every nation fought
on land, on the sea and in the air
because Hitler wanted to force
his so-called master race on the world.
His people would dominate and destroy
everyone who opposed him.
He'd tell you what books you could read,
what movies you could see,
even what thoughts you could think.
We've fought every super-villain
you can name,
but this one
has to be the most evil of all.
My father was a hero of World War II
and the great chief
of the Indian nations.
He bestowed on me the mystical
knowledge of all Indian lore
since the beginning of time.
I am to use that force to fight evil.
During the war my father
discovered the Scorpio Engraving
and entrusted it to me. Here it is.
But I thought the Skull
had it now because of me.
He has the copy. This is the original.
Tonight, for the first time,
I know what it means.
It is a map to the hidden Nazi treasure.
And all the lines intersect
in the middle
of the unexplored Marabunta jungle.
But won't Smith figure that out too now?
Of course. But we have a head start.
And I'll make sure we won't lose.
All the lines intersect here,
at the Marabunta jungle.
The four of us can stop the Red Skull.
We can prevent World War Ill.
- Can't see anything but trees.
- Me neither.
There he goes again. Spidey of the Apes.
If he says, "Me Spider-Man,
you Hot Stuff" one more time,
I'm gonna melt his web.
Me Spidey, You - --
You boring.
Any luck?
No, not a thing. Just that vulture.
It keeps on circling.
My robot TV bird keeps them in sight
every minute.
- What is our progress?
- Excellent, Herr Skull.
We should be at the intersection
in several hours.
They will never even know we are here.
Who but I would dream
of tunnelling under the jungle?
We will reach the hidden treasure
and be away with it
before anyone knows we were here.
Always room for one more, I guess.
Something's wrong with you, bird.
ATV robot.
The Skull's watching everything we do.
But where is he? We haven't seen
Oh, no. Vampire bats!
No. Get away. No!
Make a cave. They'll head right for it.
Herd them in here.
Those vampire bats
live in underground caves.
Something had to drive them out.
The Skull. He's tunnelling underground.
At precisely 4:37 the sun will indicate
the hidden location of the tomb.
The small outcropping of rock
casts the shadow of the swastika.
There. At the very centre. There.
The entrance to the secret tomb.
There the treasure awaits.
We have won.
But first you two must lay a trap
for Smith and the others.
They have been here.
The earthworms are restless.
- He can hear the worms'?
- Don't look at me.
I'm the guy who gave my date away
to Flash Thompson. What do I know?
- True.
- This way. Hurry.
They are almost there.
When one of them trips the wire,
the red light goes on.
- Wait.
- Now.
We cancelled each other out.
Did I find the right switch?
The Skull's tunnel must lead directly
to the giant swastika you told us about.
So says the Scorpio Engraving.
The entrance to the treasure tomb
is here, at the intersection.
I'll go ahead and see what I can find.
Nothing in the tunnel.
Nothing out here.
That's the swastika, alright,
but it sure isn't big.
I'll bet with the sun behind it
like that it would cast a huge shadow,
right over there.
We can't wait till tomorrow to find out,
so
One bright sun coming up.
There it is.
Got to mark it before I lose it.
There. The guys
ought to be able to find it now.
But I'm going in first.
Totally incredible!
What the? Freezing gas.
I told you never to underestimate
your opponent.
If she survived the trap,
the others have.
Put her in the freezing support capsule
and then we open the tomb and
begin to change the face of the world.
There is it.
I want you to see it, Firestar.
I want my enemies to despair
in the moment of my triumph.
I'll open the door for you, Herr Skull.
Imbecile.
Look. The legacy of Adolf Hitler.
Mine.
I rechecked the tunnel.
She's not in there.
She continued on
to try to find the swastika.
- Hope she left a trail we can follow.
- You think that's easy enough?
That's our Firestar.
- No sign of her. Or anyone.
- I hope we're not too late.
That door up ahead has got to be it.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Look out.
- Did you say something?
- Yeah. I said let's move it.
"The world and Firestar are mine."
He's got her.
Quick. Here. Help me move this.
Look.
- Come on.
- I guess it's the only way.
Jettison truck shell
and stand by to dive.
- Oh, no.
- A Spidey tracer.
I hooked a Spidey tracer on the sub,
Professor Smith.
- We'll be able to follow it anywhere.
- Good.
But I'll bet we all know
exactly where it's headed.
Skull Island.
Fire!
Not again.
Two down, one to go.
Cold enough for you?
Wouldn't want you warming up
and spoiling my party.
The other guests are arriving.
No matter what happens to us,
the world will stop you.
You think so? In a few hours
the world will welcome me.
- Welcome you?
- Yes.
These rockets you're strapped to
will start World War Ill.
The US will assume
another country bombed them,
and they in turn
will bomb that other country.
And in a matter of hours the
superpowers will destroy one another
and the only leader powerful enough
and rich enough to take over the world
will be me.
And don't think Professor Hiawatha Smith
can save you.
He'd have to swim the moat
and the moat is stocked
with the most deadly fish known to man.
Piranha.
- Piranha.
- I'm coming after you, Skull.
You'll never get away
with your crazy plans.
He dived in.
Now listen to the end of Hiawatha Smith.
I call on this ancient Indian potion
from the gods of all the waters
to help me defeat this enemy.
Now we launch the rockets.
- Where am I?
- You don't want to know.
I'm strapped in with heat.
I can't move a muscle.
Me neither. He's got me cold.
Well, why don't I warm you up a little?
That did it.
That won't save the others.
You've got a new target, guys.
Skull Island.
I feel like a rat
deserting a sinking ship.
So? At least we'll be live rats.
You are going to pick up passengers,
aren't you?
Sure.
Stay right here.
I'll be back in a minute.
I ought to leave you here, but
The treasure! The treasure!
He had his chance.
The government reported
no trace of the Skull,
but somehow he always comes back.
If he does, you can count on us
to help you any time.
- Any place.
- Anywhere.
The same for me. I'd better hurry.
I have a class in a few minutes.
So do
See you, Professor.
That was close, Frosty.
Petey, babe. Look who's coming.
- Oh, no. It's Mona.
- And Flash Thompson.
Hi, Mona. Flash.
That Parker's a creep.
Yes, darling,
but he brought us together,
so that makes him a wonderful creep.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Iceman and Firestar.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
