A post-hypnotic command by The Jackal has control over Spider-Man -- and demands he kill Mary Jane! The Scarlet Spider arrives to save her and quickly realizes he as no choice but to kill Spider-Man. A power plant becomes the final resting place for the web-slinger as he becomes trapped under a generator, which soon explodes. The Scarlet Spider is thrown out of the building by the explosion and, when rescued, is mistaken for Peter Parker. He must now live a lie.
