on this very show,

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.

and the normal night lights

werekidneppedbyfireBeetle,?
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.
