Description
At ESU, the Juvenator restores the Vulture's youth and cures his cancer, leaving Spider-Man in an aged state. Deciding this is a better vengeance than death, Vulture departs, as, with much effort, does Spider-Man. Back home, MJ looks for support after being shot at by a crazed "Secret Hospital" fan (ASM #386, '94) but Peter flees, lest she discover his condition. Vulture exults over his new youth, which he commemorates with a new costume, but the Juvenator's effects wear off, returning him to old age even as Spider-Man regains his youth. Meanwhile, a supposed ESU janitor offers Vulture his help. Later, Spider-Man returns to ESU, where the Juvenator is being moved and Vulture is eager to renew their battle. During the ensuing fight, Spider-Man returns to Sanchez' lab, where he finds her held hostage by her own duplicate. When the real Sanchez is pushed out a window, Vulture and company depart while Spider-Man rescues her. Later, after much soul-searching, Spider-Man reveals his true identity to Richard and Mary, who secretly conclude this revelation will have fatal consequences for Peter.
