Synopsis for "Feast or Famine: part three"
After saving Rumor from Helminth, Spider-Man takes her home, where the old lady tells her story to him and Prowler. In 1939 Marnie was one of many Japanese who were subjected to experiments in an attempt to create a Japanese counterpart to Captain America. The experiments were successful, but after some field missions in 1941, Marnie arrived in America and settled there, becoming an ally of Cap. Despite this two years later, she was deported to prison camps with other Japanese Americans, and did not attempt to escape to help in the camp. There she ran into Helminth one of the overseers, who fed on pain and defeated him. Prowler is determined to assault Helminth who now uses the Fairgray to find the pain to feed on, but Spidey convinces him to wait and look after an exhausted Marnie, while he goes to ask Tony Stark for help. Unfortunately Prowler decides to go rashly to the assault alone.
