I see now that Longshot, that rebel slave, must be found before he returns home to tell all the slaves about this race. Why, they'd all probably feel like they were real... and rise up and rebel... it would be... inconvenient. Pity, Spiral, that you received six arms. Makes you still not quite right. Still a freak, eh?

Synopsis for "Can’t Give It All Away!"
The news shows Longshot as the man who caused the blackout and stole Con Ed’s diamonds. Longshot is trying to give away the diamonds to make amends but, apart from a group of kids, nobody wants them. He runs into two heroes, She-Hulk and Spider-Man, who try to capture him. Both fail, once Longshot focuses his luck, but both foster in him the belief that he no longer knows what is real. He meets the kids again, who tell him they have seen a monster. Reading their gun, he recalls leading a rebellion and being mindwiped. He goes to see their monster, a monstrously grown Pup. Longshot refuses to believe in him and is attacked. Elsewhere, the insane Spineless One, Mojo, is informed about Longshot and the world of real men he now resides in. He has Spiral teleport him to Earth. They reach the home of Longshot’s friend, Ricochet Rita, and threaten her, announcing that she will lead them to Longshot.
