other supervillains that had tried and
failed to best the webslinger one-on-one
as it turned out the timing couldn’t
have been worse for spider-man as the
hero was experiencing sudden problems
with his abilities this was caused by a
burst of regret and remorse for not
having prevented the death of his uncle
while finding himself overcome with the
