Synopsis for "Endless Night"
Spider-Man is shocked to find a lobotomized Robbie Robertson, and plans to help the other captured black prisoners to escape.
Doctor Octavius is very angered to hear from Crime Master that he and his benefactors of the Friends of New Germany are abandoning his entire research and plans to destroy everything, which includes killing the prisoners, from being caught by the authorities. After the Crime Master forces Octavius to contact Joseph Ansell through telephone, Ansell confirms to him that his experiments are needed to end. But, Ansell privately tells Octavius that he can eliminate Crime Master for being a liability after everything is dealt with.
Crime Master then orders his men to kill the prisoners. Fortunately, Spider-Man attacks and takes their guns away, leaving them at the hands of the escaped prisoners.

Then one of Crime Master's men urgently informs his boss that FBI agents have arrived and are already raiding the jetty. Crime Master orders his men to hold off the agents, but Spider-Man tells him and his goons that it is pointless as anyone who shoots back will be serving time on death-row with their boss, given to his atrocities on Ellis Island. Spider-Man's threats work, as Crime Master's men flee in panic and abandoning their boss. As Crime Master still holds Robbie, Dr. Octavius arrives and informs Crime Master that there is nowhere for him to escape even from Spider-Man and suddenly attacks him with his scalpel arms, leaving Robbie to escape from harm.
