Description
A tattooed gunman, holding a hostage, flees police until Spidey captures him. At Midtown High, Pete introduces himself to his students. Afterward, Principal Harrington brings Peter to his office to see Ezekiel who has donated $100.000 to the school's science department. Pete and Ezekiel go for pizza where Ezekiel tells him his power is totemic and tied to spiders while many of his foes are unconsciously striving to totemically link to other animals; pretenders that instinctively hate the "real deal" like Spidey. However. Ezekiel also warns there are forces that feed on totemistic forces. Ezekiel has sensed one of these beings, learning he is called Morlun. Ezekiel offers to hide Peter in a protective shelter but Peter refuses and heads home. Meanwhile. Morlun tells Dex the time has come for him to hunt. Later. Peter sees a news report about a fire and goes to help as Spidey, only to be viciously attacked by Morlun.
