Synopsis for 1st story
The heads of New York's various crime families gather and Janice demands to take her father's place, and Hammerhead tells her that to be worthy she must kill her boyfriend Randy Robertson who is trying to make superheroes legal again. Janice accepts, but Hammerhead knows full well that she won't make it and only gave her the job to prove that she isn't up to taking Tombstone's place. Others are sent to kill Randy and he, trying to protect Janice, is injured and taken to the hospital. Meanwhile, Madame Masque treacherously attacks Hammerhead and this is the last step to start a colossal gang war. Spider-Man then decides to assemble a team to intervene.
