Synopsis
Following his battle with the Green Goblin (Harry Osborn),
Peter Parker laments over the fact that as a result of their battle,
the apartment they shared has been totaled. The landlord comes by as
Peter mulls over what to do, and tears up the lease and tells Peter that
he has to be out by the end of the day. Not wishing to worry his Aunt
May, Peter checks through his list of friends and eventually is offered a
place to stay with Flash Thompson. However, Peter soon learns that
Flash lives in the suburb of Far Rockaway, which is so far removed from
Manhattan, Peter begins to wonder how he’ll manage to get around.
Living in an abandoned house near Flash Thompson’s apartment
lives the Mindworm, a mutant with mental powers that allowed him to feed
off emotions of others. His abilities would lead to the death of his
mother when he was young, and her death would cause his father to flee
in fear, only to be struck by a car and die himself. The young boy grew
up as a ward of an orphanage using his powers to ward off those who
would treat him poorly, and use his mind powers to become very
intelligent. He would relocate to this very house years before, and feed
off the emotions of others, not repeating the same mistake with his
mother, the number of people allowed for him to feed but not kill.
With the introduction of Peter Parker into the neighborhood, the
heroes strong emotions became the subject of interest for the Mindworm.
In order to gain access to these emotions, the Mindworm uses his powers
to put everyone in the neighborhood but Peter under his control. Peter
noticing the situation would change into Spider-Man and go into action.
As Spidey fights off the hordes of the Mindworm, the police learn of the
situation and send in a riot squad believing that something sinister
may happen.
Taking his fight to the Mindworm directly, Spider-Man finds him
an ample foe, until he claps both of his hands on either side of the
head of the Mindworm. The resulting shock from the blow causes the
Mindworm to cripple in defeat. Peter changes back to his civilian guise,
and rejoins the others just as the police arrive to arrest the
Mindworm.

Synopsis
With his Billy-Club destroyed, Daredevil rushes back to his New
York hotel room with a grappling hook and some rope. There he finds
Foggy and explains that he was mugged and the crooks even stole his
Billy-Club in order to cover for his secret identity. As he is trying to
explain to Candace and Foggy that the Death-Stalker is seemingly dead
and the evidence regarding Operation: Sulfer have been destroyed, Matt
gets a call from the Black Widow. When he asks if he can call back, the
Widow angrily hangs up the phone without explaining what the emergency
is.
A few days later after Matt Murdock has arranged to have the
charges against Candace Nelson dropped, Daredevil travels back to San
Francisco to see what the problem with Black Widow is. Returning to her
former mansion home, he finds that she has been evicted and that new
tenants have taken over.
Deciding to head over to police headquarters to see if Paul
Carson knows where Natasha is, Daredevil stops to bust a group of
crooks. When one of them grabs a little girl and holds her at gun point,
Daredevil is hard pressed to do anything when suddenly the Black Widow
drops out of the air and knocks the gunman out. With all the crooks
kayoed, Daredevil and Black Widow embrace. This lets their guard down
long enough for one of the crooks to make a break for it. Daredevil is
unable to track him due to the noise from the gathered crowd.
The crook enters his employers secret hideout, who turns out to
be Daredevil’s old foe the Owl. The Owl kills his lackey and decides to
deal with Daredevil before continuing his criminal operations in San
Francisco. As Daredevil and the Black Widow are talking about her
current financial woes when they are attacked by the Owl and a
helicopter full of his gun toting henchmen.
During the fight Daredevil is scratched by the Owl’s ring which
is laced with a fast acting poison which makes Daredevil and easy
defeat. When the Black Widow attempts to defend herself she is grazed
across the forehead with a bullet shot from the helicopter and is
knocked out as well. With both heroes unconscious the Owl has them
loaded up in his chopper so that he can deal with them as he sees fit.
