  • When Spider-Man comes to the aid of Peter, and confronts the bullies, this only sets them off more, and they set Peter's apartment on fire, goading him to fight his own battles
Low Points
  • Really? Spider-Man versus a bunch of street bullies? Does this really have to be a two part cliffhanger ending? Just punch their eyes out the back of their heads, and call it a day
Oddities
