Description
The police examine the Parkers' condo after Peter comes home, finding MJ missing with signs of a struggle. One floor below, Jonathon Caesar keeps MJ prisoner in a hidden room filled with images of her. When he tries to make her comfortable, she slaps him. He hits her back, then explains he arranged for her admission to Bedford Towers so he could eventually marry her. Spidey shakes down hood Chili Bono who tells him there's a new crook in town, talking revenge on Spider-Man. To please Aunt May, Peter honors his Queens book signing commitment. Felicia Hardy tries to get into Bedford Towers, but the doorman turns her away. Following Chili's lead, Spidey goes to a Brooklyn graveyard and encounters an army who think he was hired to portray Spider-Man. He mops them up, discovering their trainer is Taskmaster. Possessed with rage, Spidey fights him, demanding MJ. Taskmaster tells him he's never heard of her, then ignites his stashed munitions store and escapes. Back home, Peter paces the balcony unaware that MJ is a captive just below him.
