- He steels a box with the red and blue Spider-Man suit, and gear
- Marc dresses up as Spider-Man, and heads out into the night t rob someone
- While he pulls off the robbery, he gets immediately caught by the police when he falls from a disintegrating web line, knocking himself unconcious
- An unconscious Marc is take to Officer Polanski, who dismisses the other officers, fingerprints him, unmasks him, and takes photos
- When he comes to Polanski tells him that he's either going to deal with the Barons for him, or that he'll turn over everything he now has on Spider-Man to the Bugle
- Not being the real Spider-Man, Marc is quickly beaten up by the thugs, and when Polanski goes to investigate, he too is easily dealt with
- "Spider-Man" is locked up, while Polanski tied to a chair, the thugs intent on killing him
- Using a spider tracer and a radio, Marc is able to amplify the signal of the tracer, effectively leading Spider-Man to him
- Spider-Man gives Marc a chance to explain himself, and in turn weaves a story about how he asked Peter Parker to keep his spare gear for him
- Marc opens his own electronic repair store
- Feels like a throw away story, with no real conflict, and certainly no major villain
