- Seeing Titania robbing a jewelry store, Spider-Man thinks to himself how he doesn't want to tangle with her because she almost mopped the floor with She-Hulk

- Titania slips into an alley, and changes into a disguise, but Spider-Man's spidey sense sees right through it, and follows her as she hops into a cab
