  • First symbiote suit appearance in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
  • First appearance of the muggers, Mickey, Nickey, Del, Elroy, Jackson, and Brewer
  • Black Cat goes for a walk to clear her head, and is attacked by thugs - Her powers of bad luck thwart the criminals at every attempt
  • Reference is made to Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 74, 86, and The Avengers 237
  • Black Cat heads to Captain Jean DeWolff's office in hopes she can tell her anything about where Spider-Man is
  • Black Cat learns from the Captain that many super heroes have been reported as disappearing, and perhaps Spider-Man was among them
  • Captain DeWolff also laments that she has a crush on Spider-Man herself, and essentially created the avenue for Black Cat and him to get together by granting the cat burglar a pardon
  • Black Cat looks for Peter Parker at the Daily Bugle, but comes up short after a confrontation with J. Jonah Jameson
  • Black Cat heads to Avengers headquarters, but finds nothing out from Vision or Scarelt Witch
  • She does, however, get an offer to try out for the team, which she says she'll think about
  • Black Cat sneaks into Aunt May's house, attempts to ask her about Peter, only to get screamed at, and found out by the remainder of the house who rush to see what is wrong
  • Spider-Man shows up at his Aunt May's house, and finds Black Cat
Low Points
  • Black Cat keeps flip flopping from page to page about whether she will or won't tell Spider-Man about her new powers
  • It's just page after page of Black Cat wandering around New York looking for Spider-Man - This story isn't necessary
Oddities
  • How did Nathan Lubensky get up the stairs in his wheel chair to be present when the woman screamed?
