Frightful Four storms school, Spider-man saves students
by Mary Jane Watson, Midtown High reporter
Criminal quartet known as The Frightful Four allegedly attacked Midtown High. The barrage happened during the school's lunch hours. The members shattered the school's cafeteria wall for entrance. They said they were looking for Spider-man.
Spider-man is one of New York City's newer heroes. He appears to be much younger than other capes and masks like The Avengers. Not much is known about him. Daily Bugle Communication's owner and anchorman John Jonah Jameson has said Spider-man is a menace. Many citizens appear to agree with him. However, some are changing their minds after witnessing Spider-man in action.
The Frightful Four only had three members upon their intrusion. They were The Wizard, Thundra and Klaw. They said that their last member Trapster had been arrested earlier that day thanks to Spider-man. They had reason to believe that the targeted hero was at Midtown High. It is unknown what led them to hold such insights.
Midtown High students hid behind support beams and underneath cafeteria tables for protection. One student, Peter Parker, was allegedly attacked by Klaw. As said by The Wizard, the student was to "be made an example of."
When he was freed, Parker threw a plate at the criminal. He then prompted the school to fight back. The students used food and trays as means of weapons. Spider-man arrived minutes later.
A fight broke out between Spider-man and The Frightful Four. Spider-man used the group's force against them. The Frightful Four wielded tables to attack and defend themselves. By his webs, Spider-man successfully subdued Thundra.
The Wizard took several students hostage. He employed his anti-gravity device on them. He imposed them as a shield. Spider-man was quick in thinking and slid underneath the group. He shot his webs and threw The Wizard into the school's hallway.
The Frightful Four made their escape just before New York City Police arrived. Spider-man had also disappeared around that time.
"It was a good thing Spider-man showed up," Eugene Thompson said. Also known as Flash, he is Midtown High's quarterback and self-proclaimed number one fan of the hero. "I was prepared to help Spider-man out. But he knew what he was doing. He probably scared off that group. One thing better than a pep rally for me is seeing him kick butt."
Only one student was in critical condition. Harry Osborn, son of OsCorp owner Norman Osborn, was assaulted. His alleged attacker was Klaw. Harry was escorted to the hospital by his father.
Norman Osborn gave no comments after the attack. He later gave out a public statement.
"My son Harry is currently in the hospital," Osborn said in his public statment. "I am proud to say that he is making a full recovery. I will also see to it that The Frightful Four get reprimanded. Along with anyone else who may have been involved for that slapdash work."
According to the police, they currently have no leads in locating the group. They were unable to say who else was involved, if any. Midtown High's principal said that the school will work with the local law enforcements on investigating the matter.
An image of Spider-man battling against The Frightful Four was available on the page. The caption read "Spider-man creamed Frightful Four with creamed corn."
The photo was taken by Midtown High student Peter Parker.
