Synopsis
Having captured Peter Parker with the help of the Grizzly, the Jackal has Peter strapped to an operating table where they attach a special bracelet that would allow them to learn the true identity of Spider-Man (not realizing that Peter is Spider-Man) and dumping him in an alley.
Being found by Betty and Ned, they take Peter to a diner where he realizes what has been done to him when he goes to the bathroom. There he is told by the Jackal (over the communication device on the bracelet) what they intend to do, and any attempt to remove the bracelet will activate an explosive.
Resuming his civilian life, Peter (with the help of Flash) moves his stuff into his new apartment, and meets his new neighbor Gloria “Glory” Grant.
That night when finally by himself, Peter uses his scientific skills to remove the device. Free of it’s control, Peter changes into Spider-Man and seeks out Jameson. Startling his bitter foe in his sleep, Spider-Man convinces him to explain why the Grizzly was after him: Year ago, Jameson’s editorials about the Grizzly’s unethical and violent wrestling moves shifted public opinion on the subject. The Wrestling Federation which employed the Grizzly probed into his conduct, and eventually fired him. With the information he needs (including the Grizzly’s real name) Spider-Man leaves Jameson’s home, the whole experience roweling Jameson up once more over Spider-Man’s conduct.
Realizing that someone like the Grizzly would be known around the gyms in the city, Spider-Man asks around until he finds the gym which he used to frequent. Sure enough, the Grizzly is there and the two are locked in a battle. During their fight, Spider-Man realizes that the key to the Grizzly’s superior strength is his costume. He then takes it apart piece by piece, until all that’s left is just Maxwell Markham.
Spider-Man easily defeats him and leaves him for the authorities to deal with.

Synopsis
With Daredevil defeated at the hands of Blackwing, the Supreme Hydra — revealed to be the crime boss Silvermane — orders them to prepare to deal with SHIELD, who will be on their way shortly. When the Black Widow attempts to attack Blackwing she’s knocked out by Man-Killer, another one of Hydra’s operatives.
After an argument with Blackwing, Man-Killer is ordered to take the unconscious heroes and the defeated El Jaguar into the lower levels of their secret base.
Meanwhile, Ivan demands that Nick Fury do something to rescue Natasha from Hydra, Fury decides to go with Dum Dum and the Contessa to investigate Shea Stadium. Furious, Ivan decides to follow after them, knowing that Fury is likely going to go wherever Natasha has been taken. Sure enough, Hydra has set up their secret base beneath Shea Stadium.
Deep below, Silvermane explains that when he took the youth potion that de-aged him to the point where he did not exist, the process then snapped him back to his prime, now revitalized to the peak of his adult years, he then was escaped capture when Hydra agents had come to select him as their new leader.
When Mentallo reports that SHIELD has arrived, Silvermane unleashes an explosive charge that seemingly kills Nick Fury and the others. Horrified by this, Foggy manages to get a gun from one of the Hydra agents and uses it to blast Daredevil and Black Widow’s chains, freeing them. Despite the fact that they are outnumbered and face El Jaguar, Man-Killer, Blackwing, and the Dreadnought, the two heroes are about to attack when suddenly the base is rocked by an explosion. Fury appears on the communication screens announcing that they are alive and well and that the SHIELD agents they thought were destroyed were simply LMD’s.
In the confusion, the Black Widow destroys the Dreadnought by shooting it in its only weak spot. Daredevil then goes up against Jackhammer and easily defeats him. El Jaguar is knocked out by Dum Dum Dugan, and Man-Killer is incapacitated when Ivan places a jamming device on her exoskeleton. With their plan failing, Blackwing and Silvermane make a hurried escape and the remaining Hydra agents are all rounded up and captured.
In the battle’s conclusion, Nick Fury asks Foggy if he would still like to join SHIELD. Surveying the damage, Foggy declines the offer.
