Next morning, Peter walked into the Daily Bugle. J. J. Jameson was waiting for him.
"Parker, thank god you made it on time. We were just about to start the next headline without you." And he slapped down the headline reading: "SYTSEVICH STRIKES AGAIN! CASH STOLEN FROM NEW YORK CITY BANK!"
"Pitty Spiderman wasn't there to stop him. Anyway, I am fed up with Spiderman's antics. He is turning this city into total chaos. I can't wait to see him humiliated. That would be the best headline ever." And he laughed loudly.
As Peter left the room, Jameson looked out the window.
"Oh, Spiderman. What a crook. I want to get rid of him straight away. And I know just the person to do it."
After his latest news flash, Sergei Kravinoff, often called 'Serge' and is a dangerous animal hunter, was called to Jameson's office.
"You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Ah, yes. Serge. I have a little task that I want you to complete."
"What that be, Mr. Jameson, sir?"
"I WANT YOU TO KILL SPIDERMAN!"
"Spiderman, sir?"
"Yes, Serge. Spiderman. I've been waiting years to find a way to kill him and now I've met you, Serge. You hunt dangerous animals. I want you to kill him."
"Oh, sir. It's a real honor. I've also not been such a fan of him either so I'll do it for you."
"Thank you, Serge."
"Thank you, sir." And Serge left the room.
Meanwhile, back at Hobie Brown's mansion, Hobie was down at his lab, looking his latest invention: Prowler, a super-powered ego manunfactured by Aleksei Sytsevich. Just then, Sytsevich came on.
"Hello, Hobie."
"Oh, Mr. Sytsevich, sir. Thanks for helping me manufacture this Prowler suit with the money you stole from the bank."
"You're very welcome, Mr. Brown. And tonight, my men and I will sneak into the city's military base and steal that suit we were looking for. Then, I will become R.H.I.N.O.
Hobie and Sytsevich hung up on each other. Hobie, manipulated by gaining the ability to become Prowler took off into the night.
