Description
After rescuing the wounded gang, Spider-Man calls the cops and EMS, then follows Thunderball, swiping Wrecker's crowbar and using it against him. The battle causes a traffic jam on I-495. Spidey soon lures Thunderball into a power plant substation, then attaches webbing to the crowbar, thunder ball, and generator. When Thunderball grabs both weapons, he completes the circuit, causing an explosion that knocks him out. Spidey expects the drivers and reporters to praise him but they complain about the traffic jam he caused instead. (2) In his Bugle column, Conover's Corner, Jacob Conover writes about nine-year-old Timothy Harrison, who loves Spider-Man so much that he collects any Spider-Man memorabilia. Spidey reads about Tim, and is so moved that he visits him. There he demonstrates his power for Tim by lifting his bed, relates the story of his origin, and shows off his web shooters. When Tim asks Spidey's identity, the wall-crawler reluctantly removes his mask, tells him he's photographer Peter Parker, and swears him to secrecy. A tear in his eye, Spidey hugs Tim and departs the Slocum Brewer Cancer Clinic. As Conover's column revealed, Tim is a leukemia patient there and only has a few weeks to live.
