Synopsis for "The Last Stand of Mr. Negative"

Martin Li was a Chinese illegal who went to United States in a boat with 200 other people. None of them survived the trip.

In the present, the Hood sends White Dragon to Chinatown to speak with Mister Negative. He tells him that his territory is now the Hood's and he wants 65% of all his business operations. Using his controlling abilities, Mister Negative possesses White Dragon and makes him attack the Hoods's hideout. Because of this, the Hood sends an army of superpowered villians to destroy Chinatown and take it by force.

When the fight between gangs begins, Spider-Man (Peter Parker) goes to check on Martin Li (Mister Negative's altruistic alter ego) and gets controlled by Mister Negative, unwittingly helping him battle against the Hood's forces.

Solicit Synopsis

Spider-Man's most mysterious new enemy takes center stage in a 3-issue mini-series by Official Amazing Spider-Man Web-Head Fred Van Lente and newcomer Gianluca Gigliotta. One-half benevolent philanthropist/One-half underworld mastermind, Mr. Negative has carved out a substantial slice of the big apple for himself over the past year. But when the super-villain mastermind The Hood strikes at the heart of Mr. Negative's criminal operations with a whole horde of classic Arachno-Foes (including The Scorcher, Speed Demon, The Squid and the long awaited return of the White Rabbit), Spider-Man is left to clean up the mess between these two violent nemeses.
