Description
After serving 10 years, Dr. David Patrick Lowell is released from New York State Penitentiary. Donald Menken picks him up in a limo. Another car follows them. Once Lowell remembers Menken, he insists on being let out, uses his power to bum the card Menken hands him, and flies off. In Manhattan, he immediately encounters Spidey who doesn't remember him until Lowell has already flown away. The men in the trailing car report to Lucky Lobo who wants Sundown on his team in order to become a major mob player. He orders his men to track Lowell down. Meanwhile, Lowell has trouble finding a steady job, and wonders if he was hasty in burning Menken's card. Worried about Sundown, Peter meets with Bugle reporter Charlie Snow who uses his contacts to track Lowell to his hotel. Antagonized, Lowell blasts Charlie & Peter, then flies off. With Spidey following, Lowell peeks in on Mary Kelleher's greenhouse lab, seeing her emulating him by pursuing a career in his field even though she lost an arm to his attack ten years ago. The next morning, Lobo shows up at Lowell's hotel room and recruits him by threatening Mary. Spidey intervenes and Sundown attacks him. Their fight brings them into the proximity of Lobo's sniper aiming at Mary. Later, Sundown enters Lobo's office carrying an apparently dead Spidey. However, the two used the fight as a distraction to capture Lobo's sniper, and fake Spidey's "death" to get to Lobo. Sundown promises to hold Lobo responsible if anything happens to Mary. Soon after, the police nab Lobo. Spidey asks Lowell if he will now become a crime fighter, but he declines feeling that it will be better for everyone if he simply disappears from public view.
