Spider-Man reached the Flatiron Building. He could see a green figure climbing the wall. Closer inspection revealed that it was Scorpion.

"What are you doing here?" Spider-Man asked.

"Protecting what is mine so that I can gain a profit."

"You should never have agreed to do what Jameson hired you to do. You should have stayed away from Morbius."

"Why? I feel more powerful than ever before."

"You are unstable!"

"So. It is just a small price to pay in exchange for this new identity."

"This is not who you are supposed to be. Don't you enjoy helping people with your investigations?"

"Are you kidding? I only did it for the money."

Scorpion penetrated a window with his pincer and entered the building. He was in the headquarters of the Daily Bugle. He could see Man-Wolf and Kraven. They both stared at Scorpion, and so did the staff. Hoffman was frightened out of his mind. He held up a newspaper in front of him.

"Here! Take what you want! Read the horoscope! It says something good about Scorpios! It says you shall have great fortune today!"

"It appears that I have accomplished that for the most part," Scorpion replied.

Scorpion ran up to Kraven and pushed him down. He struck him in the left leg with his pincer.

"Ow!" Kraven said.

"I have to hand it to you. I am surprised that you can take so much pain. It's too bad that the hunter is about to become the hunted."

Just as Scorpion was about to slit Kraven's throat with his pincer, Morbius few through the open window and grabbed Kraven, flying him out of the building. Scorpion was confused. He walked over to Man-Wolf and pushed him down with his pincer.

"Leave him alone!" J. Jonah Jameson said.

"I won't kill him. I promise you. I just want more power."

Scorpion started cutting off a layer of skin from Man-Wolf's neck. He could see the Godstone surrounded by blood. He picked it up with his pincer and stared at it. He tried getting it close to his neck, but his action was interrupted. A substance was squirted onto the stone from a few feet away. Everybody looked and saw Spider-Man with his new items.

"Spider-Man!" Betty said.

"I guess it works on more things than polymer," Spider-Man said.

"No!" Scorpion screamed as the substance burned the Godstone, destroying it for good. "I'll kill you!"

Scorpion, in his rage, ran towards Spider-Man. Spider-Man moved out of the way. Scorpion did not stop, however. He fell out of the open window. Spider-Man looked out and tried shooting his web at him in an attempt to bring him back up.

"Why isn't this working?"

By the time he was able to shoot anything, Scorpion had already hit the ground. Spider-Man looked at Man-Wolf. He was turning back into the human John Jameson. He was bleeding from his neck.

"Betty!" J. Jonah Jameson said. "Call an ambulance!"

"I can take him to a hospital," Spider-Man said.

"Stay away from my son!"

Betty wrapped some tissues around John's neck. Spider-Man picked up John and started swinging out of the building with him.

"He'll save him, Jonah," Robertson said. "You have to trust him with your son's life."
