Please, think wisely.
But than I saw J Jonah Jameson,
publisher of e newspaper

Spider-Man mild? stopped.
The 'Daily Bugle' will give a handsome
reward to anyone who brings him in.

I'd be a hero, not a freak.
A blizzard in July?
And me Wifl10lJll my long johns.

Maybe ifs only temporary. BODDY-
I sure hope so, Angel,
but I've gotta tell you, I'm worried.
Se what did the memory probe

Your mutant powers

But I'm a mutant, too.
You mean, whatevefs happening to Bobby

No. That's impossible!
Vida-omen!

Come on. Let's go get him.
Po-uvers, please don't: fail me now.
I should have said pretty please.
Time to overheat

A freeze bolt?
Where did you get ihat?
I don't: care how big you are,

you canfi: do that
Maybe I do care just a little.
Amy bright

He's gone

Too late.
Well, I still have some power left.
I've losl: all my mutant power.
Then ifs up to Spidey and me

I oould make a oaroor of this,
and lmre mrery minute of I't.
He's absorbing electrical energy
from the presses.
And he's growing and
What a way to travel.
We know whafs making Vida-omen grow,
but not whafs giving him
111050 weirdo powers,
or what weakened my powers.
And look at mo. Right now,
I oouldn'l: make a snowball.
I wonder what happened to Jameson.
When am I? Whefs happening to me?
You can'! do this to me.
I'm in a maze of some kind.
Maybe I can find my way out.
IfVide-oman gro-uvs more powerful,
no one will be able to stop him.
Maybe we can prevent him
from getting any bigger.
We den'l: e\ren knew
where he'll strike neJ-ct.

for a prediction.

But the webbed wonder triumphs again.
I'm weakening, Spidey.
Spidey, tell me ifs not possible.
L'l:'s not possible.
I'l:'s there, but ifs not possible.
Maybe I should have stayed home
and kept Bobby company.
I've got I't. I know whafs happened
to Iceman and you.
I've figured out
what's causing those power losses.
I wish I had the time to listen.
