Amazing.
His speed.
His agility.
We've got to destroy him! Because with Spiderman, you don't get a second chance.
So who's on my tail this time? You failed, Smythe.
My father is not a failure! It'll be just your size when it's finished.
Is that why you're working for Osborn? In exchange for this? Spiderman.
That loose cannon must be removed.
I love surprises.
See what you think of this one.
Black Widow can neutralize all of Spiderman's powers.
The moment all America has been waiting for, The unmasking of Spiderman! - What was that? - Flash Thompson! - Two of 'em! - Get Him! Think fast Spidey! Remember our deal? No spider-splat, no hover chair.
Take a dive, Widow! My father, did he get out? I was an associate of your father's.
Now I want to be an associate of yours'.
So you can destroy the man who's responsible for your father's disappearance.
Spiderman! s01e03 - Return of the Spider Slayers Yeah, I'm sure Mrs.
Watson's niece has a very nice personality, Aunt May.
But I hate blind dates! Okay Aunt May, if it makes you happy, you can tell Mrs.
Watson that I'll take her niece out.
Yeah but just this one time! Yup.
Okay, bye.
Blind dates are like the lottery.
The odds are so stacked against you, you're nuts if you expect to ever hit the jackpot! Huh?! The Black Widow! I thought I destroyed that thing months ago! Someone's rebuilt it! Is Spencer Smythe still alive?! A microwave relay dish! This ought to sizzle your circuits! I better check this out! Huh?! Another one! And it's bigger! Whoa! Good thing I reloaded my webbing! Think fast webhead, think fast! Only a few seconds! Yes! He nails the dismount! Didn't mean to drop in without a reservation.
Look out! Aaah! Whoah! I don't know where you came from but thanks to my SpiderTracer, I'm sure gonna know where you're headed.
- The wall crawler is still alive?! - Not for long.
I've designed this operation perfectly.
And it's going according to plan.
I won't fail.
Let us hope not! I'm rather hard on employees who do.
Remember.
My employment here is a temporary arrangement.
And you remember.
This lab becomes yours if and only if you destroy Spiderman.
It may be Kingpin's money, and Kingpin's lab but the revenge, for what happened to my father will be mine! I barely stopped the Black Widow.
How am I going to stop you?! A freeze ray! Oh, this is enough to give me arachnophobia! The Black Widow! It's back! How can I deal with two Spider Slayers at once?! Got to start somewhere! And now for you Huh?! yapping Mommy! It's a big bug! I want mine! - Trooper! - No! Trooper! dog barking - Spiderman! - Get away from here! Hurry! Oh boy, I should have taken my own advice! Argh! Omph! If I get myself out of this, I'm gonna need to track you down too! coughs Excellent.
He looks rather tame for a superhero! O-oh Mr.
Jameson? I have something that might interest you.
- What's with all the secrecy, Smythe? - Good evening, Mr.
Jameson! - Where's Spiderman? - There he is! Ready for your inspection.
Well what do ya know I waited a long time to see you apprehended.
Now let's see who's under that mask.
Hey hold it! When was the last time you washed your hands? Hey! What gives Smythe? It's obvious! It wants a mate, and you're the lucky guy.
You called me here to witness Spiderman's capture! I must admit.
I had an ulterior motive.
What are ya doin'? No, no, no.
Take it back.
It clashes with the color of my costume! A perfect fit! These indestructible manacles contain a powerful explosive.
It's set to detonate in one hour.
Hey don't look at me! Maybe you didn't deliver his paper this morning! - What are you? Nuts?! - You have to ask? You and your web slinging friend's petty rivalries Destroyed my father! His only dream was to see me walk again.
A dream you both shattered! Excuse me, but your father attacked me with a Spider Slayer! Now Smythe! You were in on that whole deal! Why don't you attach yourself to this bomb and leave me out of it? Have you ever thought of becoming a family therapist? Quiet! You're both responsible! And so are your associates! Flash Thompson! Eddie Brock and Norman Osborn! You hate a lot of people, Smythe! Must be rough around the holidays! If you let me go, I can found your research! Set up a lab! Forget it JJ, he's not playing with a full deck! Huh you should understand that! You should be grateful Jameson! When Spiderman meets his demise, you'll have the privilege of sharing his fate.
- Can't you pry this thing off? - You want a trial separation already? - I understand but I'm hurt.
- Enough talk! My Spider Slayers are programmed to transport you away.
Then they'll eradicate those who helped you destroy my father! Gonna get more s-sleep tonight than usual.
Ooh My aching head! Get up Jameson! We don't have much time to track those Slayers before they get to Thompson, Brock and Osborn! Look at this! You're severely bruisin' my wrist! Coyotes caught in traps chew through their own legs.
You could try that! Okay Mr.
Smart Mouth! What if I decided to just sit here and not go anywhere? Look bright eyes! Until I can figure out a way to get this bomb off of us, you're coming along for the ride! So fasten your safety belt! Aaaah! - We had a great time tonight, Felicia! - Naturally, you were with me! Hey, Flash! Huh Hi Felicia! Hello, Harry! - So, how's it going, buddy? - Great! But it would be a lot better, if you made yourself scarce.
O-oh oh ! Right! See you later! - Flash! - Now what?! Is this another one of your gags, Flash Thompson? No! Felicia, run! It's after me again! Help! Help! Humf! How many of these bugs have a thing for me?! Looks like we got here just in time! Laser! Exactly what I need! You're crazy! What're ya doin'?! Just cuttin the ties that bind! Aaah! Oompf! Just get out of here! Run! I'll keep this thing busy.
Time for me to get this act the hook! Come on kid! Let the bug find it out! We've gotta make some calls! I hope nobody wants to see my union card Or my exterminator's license.
That's got to stop it! Robbie! Get a crew at the ESU right now! And get me a line on Eddie Brock! No I don't wanna re-hire him! You've gotta call my dad! Hello Jameson, what can I do for you? Another Spider Slayer?! Don't worry, I can handle it! Get me security! Jameson at the Bugle says he fired you because you're bad news, Brock! It's a lie, I'm tellin' ya, I was set up by Spiderman! Look, all I need is a chance to prove myself! Well, lucky for you I happen to need a reporter.
Just stay out of trouble! Oh that's great, that's great! Thank you! I promise, you will not get any trouble from me.
Another Spider Slayer?! Why is it after me?! Looks like the Spider Slayer's found it's next target! My lucky day! I get to save Eddie Brock, and still have time to be blown to bits! You! You just won't stop 'til you ruined me, will ya? Use your head for once Brock! I'm trying to save your life! Hmpf! This thing's stronger than me, but fortunately, it's not smarter! Shocking! My office! My newspaper! Wrecked! Jameson was right! You're fired! Oh no.
No! He's done it to me again! I'll get even with you! I'll get even with you if it's that last thing I do! My masterwork is done! Why did they call out these robot tanks?! I think That's the reason! Sounds like something's attacking Oscorp! But what? Well that answers my question.
The biggest Spider Slayer yet! And I have only minutes to stop it before this bomb blows! Launch the helidrones.
Remember to never try and crash one of Osborn's parties! Don't worry! It's harmless now! Ooh! Aah! I'm out of web fluid! Huh now's as good a time as any to change cartridges.
Okay, Spidey! Which do you deal with first? This bomb? Or that mechanical monster? Oops! That settles that! So much for Mr.
Osborn's place of business.
Hah That was close! But I'm still alive.
For another fifteen minutes anyway.
Liquid oxygen.
Hmmm.
This stuff's almost 200 degrees below 0 centigrade! It ought to affect these manacles the same way the Slayer's freeze ray worked on that street lamp! Aaah! Hah, another example of better living through chemistry.
Not much time! I've gotta move fast! And I'll take this little plaything with me! grunts Come on Osborn! This is the worst possible time for a nap! Aaah! You stay here, Norman.
I've got a present to deliver.
Hey rivet head! Let's play tag! You're it! Perfect! Just the right position.
I hate to borrow someone else's line, but it's clobberin' time! Bull's eye! I've never liked Osborn that much.
But for Harry's sake, I'm glad he's ok.
Ooh.
Now how did that My machines My beautiful machines! A deal's a deal, Smythe.
You promised me you'd destroy Spiderman.
You'll work for me until you do.
There's nothing left.
What a night! I'm battered, bruised, and to top it off my costume's torn! And what do I get for all my troubles? Nothing! Life never seems to have any big reward for me.
Hah.
The worst thing about a secret identity is that you can't have someone else to do your sewing! Peter! I hope you're getting ready for your date with Mary Jane Watson tonight! My blind date! I completely forgot! Argh Why didn't I just let Smythe's bugs eat me? Cough-cough I-I'm not feeling to well Aunt May.
Well You do feel warm! But, she'll be here any minute! bell dings That's her, go answer the door, Peter.
Huh Don't I get a last meal? Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!
