Synopsis for "Lifetime Achievement: Part One"
Christmas in New York and J. Jonah Jameson is going off about Spider-Man again, only this time he's defending Spider-Man's reputation on his radio show. After his show ends, Jonah talks with Bushkin about the ratings and is handed a letter from the Century Club with an invitation from Mayor Fisk's office, where Mayor Wilson Fisk has decided to award him a Lifetime Achievement Award, also requesting Spider-Man be present to introduce him. Jonah guarantees on live television that the hero will do it, ignorant of Fisk's aims to use their presence to further divide Spider-Man from his vigilante compatriots and manipulate publicity.
Meanwhile, Spider-Man stops the Hippo, hired to steal a limited edition toy, gives the toy to a child who immediate auctions it, and heads to Robbie's place as Peter. After hearing about Betty in Europe, Peter and Robbie talk about Jonah, with his past antics at the Bugle hindering finding investors and losing revenue after stopping printing sensationalism. When Randy brings out the Turkey, the three say grace and eat together.
Elsewhere, Arcade talks with a man in shadows about his recent purchase of a supervillain deathtrap. While Arcade tries to sell him an upgrade for greater death toll, the man dissuades him as he only has one target: J. Jonah Jameson. Once Jonah arrives, Spider-Man arrived immediately after to talk with him about not going, to which Jonah rants about how much Peter owed him as he tried repairing his reputation-- which Jonah slandered for years. When their talk hits a fever pitch and The Enforcers arrive to abduct Jonah, Spider-Man's efforts to defend him fail with Jonah's commentary on how to fight. Given Spider-Man's abilities, Fancy Dan aims a gun at Jonah, allowing Ox to grab and slam the defending Spider-Man into unconsciousness. Later, Spider-Man awakens with Jonah in an unknown location, and they're set upon by villains under the direction of the returned Big Man.
Solicit Synopsis
• J. JONAH JAMESON has a new job as a shock jock, but is the world ready for a pro-Spider-Man JJJ?
• More importantly, is Spider-Man ready? His post-secret-identity relationship with Jonah was already complicated, but this very public embrace may put him over the edge!
• Spidey’s definitely not ready for the Enforcers to come at him harder than ever!
