Synopsis
Spider-Man encounters the Vulture attempting to kidnap a scientist from his apartment, but is unable to stop him. The Vulture has kidnapped a number of scientists recently, and Peter is sent to contact Harry Osborn by Jameson to get a good quote on his take of the situation. After losing his clothes as Spider-Man, Peter borrows some of Harry's clothes from his apartment. While dressed in Harry's more expensive clothes, he is soon mistaken for Osborn by the Vulture, who kidnaps him. The Vulture takes Peter to his airship base, where he finds the other kidnapped scientists being forced to work for the Vulture. He forces Peter to develop enough radar-jamming paint to cover his ship, and Peter develops it using Harry's notes. After coating the Vulture's ship with the invisible paint, the Vulture leaves and Peter becomes Spider-Man. The other scientists are freed, but Spider-Man is thrown off the airship when the Vulture returns. Spider-Man lands safely and later discovers that the Jupiter space probe containing rare space rocks is scheduled to splash- down in one hour. He figures out that the Vulture's plans are to capture the probe and steal the rare gems. Spider-Man makes it on the recovery ship, and prepares to battle the Vulture to prevent the theft of the space probe.
