Description
The Molten Man sees Judge Hizzoner and the Judge takes pity on him and lets him go without any punishment since he’s agreed to pay for damage he’s caused. The Molten Man goes free and shows he has no intentions of going straight. After some planning, he enters into a jewelry store and asks to see the most expensive items for sale. Once they’re outside the safe, the owner tries to stop The Molten Man but bullets bounce off and the gun is crushed inside his hand. Spider-Man swings around and notices the theft in progress, and not knowing the thief’s true identity is clobbered around and The Molten Man escapes. After some deduction Peter Parker figures that only The Molten Man could hit him that hard and crush a gun in his bare hand. Spider-Man tracks down The Molten Man’s old house and follows him with a Spider Tracer to the same jewelry shop he initially tried to rob. Spider-Man tries to catch him in webbing and the two trade punches back and forth. The Molten man escapes but Spider-Man catches up with him at home. Spider-Man grabs a nearby rope and, similar to their last fight, hog-ties The Molten Man together and brings proof to the police tying him to the attempted robbery. Pete goes to sell his pictures of The Molten Man to J Jonah Jameson, but finds out that Betty Brant no longer works there. A replacement secretary hands him a self-portrait he gave to Betty signed “To Betty – Forever! Peter”, but it ends up in the trash as he realizes both Ned Leeds and her are gone to the west coast and most likely are married.
