Things were not moving as fast for The Daily Bugle. This troubled the employees very much, but not as much as it annoyed Jameson.
"Why are things so sloppy today?" Jameson yelled. "Are we doing something different."
"It could be because you fired Robertson," Betty said.
"What? That's ridiculous. We can function without him. If we got used to functioning without Parker, I am sure that we can get used to functioning without Robertson. Things are just dandy in the workplace!"
A crash through the window interrupted Jameson's rant. Mysterio landed in the office. He detached a black substance from himself.
"Put me on the paper!" Mysterio said.
"Damn it!" Jameson said. "We just fixed that after the last attack!"
"Those were some good times," Scorpion Venom said as he entered, revealing his face.
"Mac! It's you! All along, you were Scorpion! Why am I always the last to know?"
"Get over yourself, Jameson."
Mysterio created a projection of Spider-Man running through the building. Jameson believed it to be the real thing.
"Spider-Man! How dare you? After all that you did!"
"That's right, Spider-Man. It's good being bad, isn't it."
"Doctor Octopus?" Jameson said to the villain who also entered through the broken glass.
"I hate that name."
"It was his idea!" Jameson said, pointing to Hoffman.
"What makes you think that?" Hoffman said. "You took credit for it. Remember?"
"Regardless!" Electro said as he sent shock waves through computers, startling employees. "We are here to strike terror."
"What can you possibly do to scare me?" Jameson said.
"That's a good question," Kraven said as he entered. "His son is in a coma from what I hear. How can we show him even more fear?"
Scorpion Venom grabbed onto Scorpion. He made a cut in his arm with his tail.
"You did this to me, Jonah," Scorpion Venom said. "Or should I call you Jeremiah? That is your first name."
"It is?" Hoffman asked.
"Shut it! Jameson here gave me this black substance that made me more powerful. Thanks to him, I am stronger, and I even created Carnage, a bloodthirsty killer who is running through the streets. And now, I shall make Kraven the Hunter stronger than he is now."
"Don't!" his superior said.
It was too late. Scorpion Venom got a piece of his symbiote into Kraven's bloodstream. He became as black and red as Carnage.
"It is all your fault, Jameson," Scorpion Venom said. "You unleashed chaos into the city. And now, innocent people will die because of you. I wonder what your son will think of that when he wakes up."
"You leave my son out of this!"
Kraven looked outside and noticed Spider-Man on a rooftop far away.
"Look," Kraven pointed.
The villains looked where he was pointing, and so did the staff.
"Wait," Jameson said. "How can he be here and there?"
"All illusions," Mysterio said. "Thanks for making Spidey look bad."
"Now a hero will die because of you!" Kraven said before he jumped out of the building and started swinging, the other villains on his tail
