Highlights
- Reference is made to The Web Of Spider-Man 50, and 54
- J. Jonah Jameson publishes an article in the Bugle that the gang war is over, and credits an unidentified passer-by as the individual who rescued him from the villain, instead of crediting Spider-Man
- As a limo drives by, Spidey's spider senses go off, and learning from his mistake of ignoring the disguised Chameleon, states he'll never let that happen again
- The passenger is Thomas Fireheart, AKA Puma
- In Hammerhead's home, he and Chameleon discuss the lost battle with Spider-Man, and the setback in their gang war against Kingpin
- One of Hammerhead's men informs them that there is a visitor to see them, one of the Kingpin's top men named Vermicelli
- With a quick change, Chameleon becomes the Arranger
- He informs Vermicelli that he's worried that their boss, the Kingpin, has gone missing, and to inform him immediately at Hammerhead's home as soon as he's found
- J. Jonah Jameson calls Nick Katzenberg into his office, and while he fears it's to be yelled at, Jameson praises him for his photo of Spider-Man outside of Kingpin's window
- Jameson tells Kate Cushing to give him a raise the next time circulation breaks ten million, to which she reminds him they've never achieved above five
- He simply shrugs her off, explaining that these are just details
- Jameson has received a letter from his broker that unknown foreign entities are staging an aggressive bid of stock to take over the Bugle
- With Fireheart back in town, Peter breaks his dinner date with Mary Jane
- Spider-Man breaks into Fireheart's office, and comes face to face with Puma, who finds the intrusion to be a dishonor
- The fight starts, with Spider-Man simply wanting to know why Puma is in New York
- Elsewhere, Arranger is meeting with a gunsmith, who's crafted him silver and lead alloy bullets
- Though they continue to battle, Puma explains he came to New York to help Spider-Man after misjudging him previously, but now that he's been dishonored with the break in, they must fight
- Later, Peter heads to the hospital to visit Kristy, and finds Aunt May there as well
- Kristy refuses to admit she has an eating disorder
- Puma randomly ends the fight saying they'll pick it up another time
- The battle with Puma is pointless to the story
