ACT 2: The Daily Bugle building, inside the elevator; a loud-mouthed individual is ranting about communism and other nasty subjects. Aunt May is in the same elevator. She cleverly gets rid of the individual by pretending to him that he's reached his floor, the 14th floor, but in fact it is only the third floor.

ACT 3: The elevator door opens up. J. Jonah Jameson, the cigar-chomping editor-in-chief and publisher of the Daily Bugle is yelling at his staff. May interrupts him. She hands him a letter and tells him she is canceling her subscription to the Daily Bugle because of the terrible things it says about Spider-Man (It should be noted that May now knows that Peter is indeed Spider-Man). Jameson is shocked that she would want to cancel her subscription but she stands her ground and JJJ angrily leaves towards the elevator. Inside the elevator is the same loud-mouthed individual seen earlier. Jameson sighs heavily.

ACT 7: Later that night, as Spider-Man, Peter investigates the disappearances, he hears screaming from a nearby alley. He finally reaches the origin of the screams. A young man is being sucked into what appears to be some sort of a dimensional-cyclone created by a translucent-looking man. Spider-Man jumps forward to apprehend the villain but goes right thru him and rams into a nearby brick wall. The felon seems to have some sort of powers rendering him virtually untouchable at will, however, Spider-Man continues his heroic attack until he figures out a way to get the upper-hand. But just as he is about to take the villain out of the picture, the latter suddenly disappears into thin air, leaving an astounded Spider-Man behind.

ACT 8: Back at his apartment, Peter is masking his bruises with makeup when the doorbell rings. It's Aunt May.
