[BLASTING]
[RICOCHETING]
Whoa there, hoss!
You're jumpier than a frog
on a Texas tarmac.
Well, I reckon you
got lucky, Ricochet.
Won't happen again!
[GRUNTS]
[RUMBLING]
TINKERER: Time, Gentlemen!
You see,
my skill-enhancement
suits work perfectly.
And a slight adjustment
to your kinetic
energy regulator
will put even more Ric
in your 'ochet.
[LAUGHS] Nice moves,
pardners. Thanks.
So, Ox. if Montana is Shocker
and Fancy Dan is Ricochet,
what do we
Ox.That works.
Well, Chief,
what do you think?
I like what I see.
Livin' on the edge
Fighting crime
Spinning webs
Swingin' from
the highest ledge
He could leap
above our heads
Villains on the rise
And the city's victimized
Looking up
with no surprise
Arriving
in the speed of time

Spectacular Spider-Man
You went to the Enforcers?
Good morning, Hammerhead.
Since when does
the Big Man go straight
to the hired help?
Silvermane is being
released from prison,
and Doctor Octopus looms.
With a gang war
on the horizon,
I must build
my war chest.
But why am I
suddenly out of the loop?
After the oil tanker fiasco
and the Rhino specs
acquisition failure,
I assumed you had too much
on your plate.
Especially since job one
was creating supervillains
to distract Spider-Man.
With all the freaks
running around,
Spidey's distracted enough.
Why spend money on what
we can get for free?
Control.
You used
to know that.
Shut the door
on your way out.
SPIDER-MAN:
Ah, life is so sweet.
Old Peter Parker
would have been stuck
in that traffic jam.
But not the
Spectacular Spider-Man!
Hey, Sha Shan, wanna see
the pass that won us the
State Championship?
[SCOFFS] Not really.
Hey, Brown,
get the ball!
No, no, no,
no, no!
[CRASHING]
PETER:
Okay, maybe not so sweet.
GEORGE: All right.
Time to choose partners
for tonight's
police ride-along.
Remember, this is an
educational endeavor,
a front row seat at how
the police operate,
not a social activity.
Is it really
that bad?
It really is.
But you'll clean up,
and we'll still be partners.
So no arguments
over who rides with whom.
Names are in the hat.
[CLASS GROANING] FLASH: Come on!
Sorry, Hobes,
I want first shot at
Harry Osborn?
Wait, I want a do-over!
Hobie Brown. Don't say it.
Gwen Stacy.
Mark Allan.
Uh It says
Rand Robertson.
Rand's not even
in this class!
Fine, it says Stinky Pete!
You happy now?
[GROANS]
SPIDER-MAN: Stinky Pete?
Like Puny Parker's
not bad enough.
[SIGHS] At least I had time
to shower before
the ride-along
with the ever-personable
Miss Avril.
I can't believe I used
to have a crush on
Flash, Harry.
You're with Sergeant
Carter and Officer DeWolff.
So, you two rookies ready?
Let the
thrills begin!
Thrills? Please.
They're not takin' us
anywhere cool.
Not with Norman Osborn's
spawn in the car.
Besides, cops don't handle
the real threats anymore.
Spider-Man takes down
all the genuine big bads!
What makes you think
your costumed vigilante
isn't a "big
bad" himself?
Oh, come on,
DeWolff.
Kid's just saying
what everyone's
thinking.
Look Sarge,
we've been
through this.
Spider-Man means well,
probably,
but when he takes
the law into his own hands,
he goes too far.
You ask me,
Spidey hasn't gone
far enough.
Bank heists? Really?
Isn't that a bit beneath you?
Nothin' wrong
with a good heist,
if the take's
worth our while.
Our while?
SHOCKER: Bug,
meet the New Enforcers.
Great field trip, Dad.
[SIGHS]
Perfect. Parker's late.
So, now I'm stuck with
King Geek and the teacher.
No offense.
The New Enforcers?
[LAUGHS]
Oh, yeah, gotta love those
heart-tugging reunion shows.
Enough jawing.
Ox, you're up.
Ricochet, go.
SPIDER-MAN:
Ox? Ricochet?
Okay, those names
might sound cool
back at the ranch, but
We're just
getting started, Spidey.
OX: Uh-uh.
SHOCKER: Ox is right.
We got us a strict
timetable.
Reckon we'll have to
squash you later, bug.
Well, maybe just one
for the road.
[SHOCKER LAUGHING]
It's pre-Columbian.
Some believe the wearer
actually takes on
the personality of the mask.
Whatever.
Big Man wants another
supervillain.
Same deal as before. [TOOLS CLANGING]
You in? Happy to oblige.
I've found a new scientist
to oversee the project.
Someone whose temperament
is more in line with
these endeavors.
Someone who understands
how the world works today
and isn't afraid
to make it his.
I presume in your
line of work,
those are the qualities
it takes to be in charge.
No doubt the Big Man
has those qualities.
And I'm sure he knows
you have those qualities
as well.
You're late.
I Uh Uh
Crashed your bike?Yeah! Yeah, my bike.
Good guess.
What? Back there?
You mean I have to sit
next to him, too?
So, Mary Jane.
Who'd you really
want to partner with?
I'm not really
a partner person.
I hear ya. I mean,
everyone's always bugging
about who goes out with who.
Yeah, as if a night out
has to be life-changing.
What's wrong with just
having a little fun?
Nada, chica.
You and me,
we should show 'em
how to do it right.
A date.
But not a
date-date.
Are we on a ride-along
or a "ride-along" ride-along?
HARRY: A real bank robbery!
You gotta admit,
this is cool.
No, Os-brat,
this is boring.
A robbery in progress
would be cool.
Captain, I knew Spider-Man
couldn't be trusted.
This mess is
all your fault.
Me? I I'd
never rob a bank.
Not this, you dweeb.
The social order.
You crossed clique lines
and put some kind
of geek-spell on Liz.
And now no one at
M-cubed knows their place!
Even Flash is trying
to date a nerd
and she's saying no!
No offense, Flash.
Oh, that mess.
[CHUCKLES]
Um Sorry?
Damage doesn't fit
the Spider's M.O.
I'd guess he fought
someone here.
Go, Spidey! What's this?
[GRUNTING]
This hole leads to
the dry cleaners next door.
Perps tried to hide it.
Call the owner. Find out
if anything's missing.
PETER:
A dry cleaners?
Why would the New Enforcers
rob a dry cleaners?
Incoming shipment.
LIZ: So, uh Gwen
You and Harry seem
to be getting along great.
He's a great guy.
And you two
make a great couple.
Yeah, we're Great.
Um, and you and Peter
make a great couple, too.
Yeah. We do.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wrong way. You want
[GRUNTS]
Elevator kill-switch
disabled.
You got the monitor link
on redirect?
Uh-huh.
[BEEPING]
Party time, boys.
Let's get fancy.
Captain.
Owner of the dry cleaners.
Look,
what's the dealio?
I thought we got past
the whole geek torment
thing last fall.
We did,
till you ditched the team
right before playoffs
to go to Europe
with Mommy.
Hobie stepped up,
and we won State anyway.
Of course, if I had
a guy with your speed,
I might've gotten off
the winning pass sooner
and I wouldn't
have taken this hit.
Yeah, uh, the thing is,
I was drinking this stuff.
Globulin Green.
It got bad,
and I had to go away.
You were playing
Juiced?
You know what
this means?
If anyone finds out,
the games you played in
would be disqualified,
along with
our championship!
I'd have messed up
my knee for nothing!
OFFICER: Stop right there!
They're heading for
the vault elevator.
Hit the kill-switch!
It's not working!
[GRUNTING]
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[BEEPING]
[OX HUMMING]
Spider-Man
[CONTINUES HUMMING]
Spider-Man
It's catchy.
The dry cleaner
had a contract
to launder Federal
Reserve uniforms.
By busting in
through the bank,
the thieves set us on
the wrong path.
Gave them time
to make their move.
Treasury Department's
brought in a
Mobile Command Center.
You two'll be safe inside.
Um, if
you don't mind,
I'd like to snap
some pics for the Bugle.
And, uh
I could get some good shots
from behind that van.
Be careful.
And stay out of sight.
Thanks. I thought we'd
be stuck with him all night.
I said I'd
take some pics.
Didn't say that
was all I'd do.
Now there's a purty sight.
A billion dollars'
worth of gold!
And we're trapped
inside with it.
Three perps did this?
Excuse me, but I have a pretty
good idea who those perps are.
SHOCKER: As promised,
our chariot awaits.
Perps were tough
but dumb.
They destroyed
the elevator.
The vault's 86 feet
below sea level.
They're trapped.
It'll take days,
maybe weeks to reach them.
SPIDER-MAN:
Shocker's a pro. He wouldn't
have acted without a plan.
Which means if I don't get
down there fast,
you'll be left
with one big, empty vault.
Wait, you can't It's okay.
He's on our side.
[SPIDER-MAN STRAINING]
Come on, let's show
our guest a little
down home hospitality.
Ox, give ol'
Ricochet a boost.
SHOCKER:
I'll give him a ride.
Oh, great. I get to play
follow the bouncing bad guy.
[GRUNTING]
Really, gotta get me
one of those
shock-absorbing suits.
[GRUNTS]
But until then
I'll just make do
with what I've got.
[GRUNTS]
SHOCKER: Exit door's open!
Load her up.
We'll squash the bug.
Squash the bug
Squash the bug ♪
Don't you know
any other tunes?
[GRUNTING]
[GOLD BARS CLANGING]
Skedaddle. But there's
still so much gold.
Can't risk it.
Listen, you wanna
tell the Big Man
we lost his take?
No, thank you.
[SPIDER-MAN GROANS]
[SPIDER-MAN MOANING]
Most expensive bruises
I've ever gotten.
Pardon me, boys!
[GROANS]
[GROANS] What a revolting
development this is.
The bug!
[STRAINING]
[GRUNTING]
[BRAKES GRINDING] [YELLING]
Get him!
Don't let go, Ox.
He is a slippery little
piece of meat.
So tenderize him.
[GRUNTS]
More?
[OUT OF BREATH]
No No more
Just get it
over with, Shocker.
Make it quick.
Never did like to see a poor
dumb animal suffer.
[POWER SURGING]Like, say, Brer Rabbit?
[SCREAMS]
Never touch
another man's treasure!
One man's treasure
is another man's brake pads.
[CRASHING] [RUMBLING]
[MECHANICAL WHIRRING]
SPIDER-MAN:
Now if I wanted you
to get away with the gold
[GRUNTS]
Watch it, ya big Ox!
So we just sit here
all night?
I mean, some of us
have a life, you know.
No offense.
[POWER SURGING]
SHOCKER: Saddle up, pards.
We're ridin' out of this
concrete box-canyon.
[EXPLOSION]
Is that
The geek's camera?
Peter!
[GRUNTS]
[SURGING FALTERS]
Next time, bug.
Go!
[BANGING]
[CRASHING] [TIRES SCREECH]
You know, they just
don't make getaway cars
like they used to.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[GUNS COCKING]
[CHATTERING ON POLICE RADIO] [DISTANT SIREN]
There's no body, Sally.
Peter
Was blown to bits!
Oh, great,
what'll I tell Liz?
She looks
awful in black!
PETER:
Did I miss much?
Peter!
Wait!
How come you're
still alive?
I took a bathroom break?
But your camera!
Aw, man, my new camera!
I suppose you left it
on auto-shoot
to try to get a few pictures
while Indisposed.
Uh, yeah. Exactly.
Do you know what
you put me through?
I didn't realize
you cared.
Oh! I so don't!
But I don't want you
blown to bits either.
I'm not a monster!
But if you tell
anyone I hugged you,
you'll wish you were
behind that van.
Enlightening
field trip, sir.
Really.
DAVIS: I'm sorry, Coach.
I had no choice.
I had to report
Harry Osborn's actions
to the N.Y.S.H.S.F.F.
Yeah, the Nyshsff.
The Mustangs'
championship title
is now under review.
Nice, Osborn.
Bad enough you juiced.
You had to spill
and ruin it for
He didn't spill.
I did.
Title's meaningless if it's
not won fair and square.
[SARCASTIC]
Thanks.
You did good.
They'll see that
Eventually.
Meantime, you want
to grab a coffee?
