Quotes 

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : Spidey and friends, one. Bad guys, nothing.

  Venom : I am *not* your friend!

• Spider-Man : Ok, we're going to Egypt next.

  Rhino : Oh... what's an Egypt?

• New Goblin : Spidey, hitch a ride!

  [Spider-Man fires a web at New Goblin's glider as he flies by and he swings away with New Goblin away from his gathered villains] 

  New Goblin : Looked like you could use a hand!

  Spider-Man : What I could use is a *bazooka!*

• [after being surrounded by Phantoms, a spotlight shines down on Spider-Man from the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship above him] 

  Spider-Man : If this day gets any weirder, I may have to scream.

  [the spotlight starts to lift Spider-Man up into the sky] 

  Spider-Man : Yep. That'll do it.

  [Spider-Man screams as he's pulled into the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship] 

• [Spider-Man stands before a defeated Doctor Octopus] 

  Doctor Octopus : You don't want to fight?

  Spider-Man : Doc, you were wreaking havoc until I broke the amulet controlling your mind.

  Doctor Octopus : Someone took control of my mind?

  [Doctor Octopus is lifted up by his tentacles and stands before Spider-Man] 

  Doctor Octopus : *Unacceptable!*

  Spider-Man : Wanna help me find out who it was?

  Doctor Octopus : I most certainly *would!*

  [Doctor Octopus rubs his chin] 

  Doctor Octopus : Say. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I'd been *punched!*

  Spider-Man : Oh, really? Weird.

• [Spider-Man is teleported into the SHIELD Helicarrier and he looks around the room for a moment] 

  Spider-Man : Hello?

  [Nick Fury approaches Spider-Man] 

  Nick Fury : Nick Fury, director of SHIELD.

  [Spider-Man and Nick Fury briefly shake hands] 

  Spider-Man : The anti-terrorist organization?

  Nick Fury : That's just one part of our initiative. The rest is top secret.

  Spider-Man : You're top secret and your headquarters is a giant, flying aircraft carrier?

  Nick Fury : You'd be surprised how rarely anybody looks up.

  [Nick Fury walks off and over to the Computer and Spider-Man walks after him] 

  Spider-Man : You know, I'm happy to be alive and all, but how did I get here?

  Nick Fury : Short range teleporter pulled you out of the fray. Somebody wake the Computer up. It's time to get to work.

• [the Computer is activated and the computer screen turns on] 

  Computer : Mission briefing software online. Welcome, Colonel Fury. Welcome, Spider-Man.

  Spider-Man : Uh... Hi? Should I talk to the computer?

  Nick Fury : Only if you want to irritate me.

  Computer : I appreciate the attention.

• Nick Fury : Computer, load up the meteor situation report.

  [an image appears on the screen of a meteor storm in outer space and they pass by Earth] 

  Nick Fury : A while back, a meteor storm passed through our corner of the galaxy.

  Computer : Trajectory Alpha seven three.

  [one meteor rock heads down to Earth] 

  Nick Fury : Now most of those space rocks went racing right on by Earth. But one crashed down.

  [the screen shows an image of the meteor crash-landing in New York] 

  Computer : Tracking impact locale.

  Nick Fury : Right in the middle of Manhattan.

  Computer : Impact location. Forty degrees, forty seven minutes north; seventy three degrees, fifty eight minutes west.

  Nick Fury : Two guesses what hitched a ride on that meteor.

  Spider-Man : Venom.

  [an image of Venom appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Venom: symbiotic lifeform of unknown alien origin.

• Nick Fury : But that's not the worst part.

  Spider-Man : It gets worse than Venom?

  Computer : Worse is a relative term. Venom is only a rating seven of ten on a scale of terrible ways to die.

  Nick Fury : See, that meteor shower he was a part of...

  [Nick Fury is interrupted as an image appears on the screen of a wasp with a rocket launcher strapped to its back] 

  Computer : As a means of comparison, some selections from level eight include wasps with laser-guided...

  Nick Fury : Computer, put a sock in it!

• Nick Fury : As I was saying, that meteor shower that Venom was part of...

  [the screen shows an image of a meteor heading to Earth] 

  Nick Fury : One of the meteors went into low Earth orbit and bounced across the atmosphere like a stone on water. But as it went, it broke apart into smaller shards.

  [an image appears of the world and of the five meteor shards' landing sites] 

  Computer : Meteor shard landing sites. Tokyo, Japan. Tangaroa Island. Cairo, Egypt. Stokerstov, Transylvania. And Alberna, Nepal.

  Nick Fury : We've tracked the various pieces to their landing sites, but before we could move in to collect them, these nasty pieces of work started showing up.

  [an image of a PHANTOM monster appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Perpetual Holographic Avatar Nano Tech Offensive Monster, or PHANTOM.

  Spider-Man : You guys have a department just for acronyms, don't you?

  Nick Fury : PHANTOMS aren't biological. They're a mix of solid light holographic technology and the symbiote substance found in the meteors.

  Spider-Man : Somebody's making monsters that use the symbiote goo? That's just great!

• Nick Fury : We're clearly dealing with someone of advanced technological means creating these things and they obviously have their hands on one shard already. So *we* need to get to the other shards before they can. Which is why I need your help, Spider-Man.

  [an image appears of Spider-Man standing before Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Venom] 

  Nick Fury : You've faced enough super-powered threats in your day. You're the perfect guy for the job.

  Spider-Man : Oh, man. I have to say, I was really looking forward to maybe taking a few days off.

  Nick Fury : We've got a saying around here.

  [an image of Nick Fury appears on the screen, pointing forward with several SHIELD soldiers standing side by side behind him] 

  Nick Fury : Saving the world is a full-time job.

  Spider-Man : I get it. Great power, great responsibility... Okay, I'm in. Where do I start?

  [the Computer screen goes blank] 

• [while fighting a mind-controlled Doc Ock] 

  Spider-Man : Four extra arms and you still can't get me!

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : Spidey and friends, one. Bad guys, nothing.

  Prowler : 'Nuff said.

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : Spidey and friends, one. Bad guys, nothing.

  Black Cat : I couldn't have said it better.

• [a group of PHANTOMS suddenly appears to fight Spider-Man and Prowler] 

  Spider-Man : [singing] 

  Spider-Man : The itsy-bitsy spider's gonna web you in the face!

  Prowler : Oh, I can't work with you when there's singing involved!

• [before a group of PHANTOMS appear] 

  Black Cat : What's your spider-sense say?

  Spider-Man : You'd better believe my spider-sense is tingling!

• Spider-Man : First Scorpion and now Rhino. Starting to scrape the bottom of the ol' villain barrel, eh? Who's next, Hypno-Hustler?

  Rhino : I'll Hypno-Hustle you!

• [a map appears of Japan and shows an image of the meteor shard's crash landing in Tokyo] 

  Computer : Impact point. Thirty five degrees, forty-one minutes north. One hundred and thirty nine degrees, forty six minutes east.

  Nick Fury : Spider-Man, we tracked the first meteor, but it was retrieved and taken somewhere in Tokyo. Complicating matters are sightings of a couple of old friends of yours.

  [an image of Green Goblin appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Green Goblin. Green Goblin is equipped with an arsenal of razor bats and pumpkin bombs. Warning: Approach with caution.

  Spider-Man : Well, there's the understatement of the year.

  [an image of Doctor Octopus appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Doc Ock. Doc Ock is a genius of technological science. Warning: May be dangerous.

  Spider-Man : No, wait. *There's* the understatement of the year.

• Computer : Warning. Additional scans of local media, police vans and screaming in streets indicates high concentration of PHANTOM activity. PHANTOMS present have estimated symbiote index of five percent of maximum.

  Spider-Man : Well, sounds like I should go down there.

  Nick Fury : Hold up. There's one more bit of information. There's an operative in the area. Cat burglar by trade, but she sports a heart of gold.

  [an image of Black Cat appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Agent identity: Black Cat. Wielding a grappling hook as a weapon, she is a dangerous and agile combatant.

  Nick Fury : She might be willing to lend a hand if you bump into her.

  Spider-Man : So, to review: Crazy hologram monsters, crazy bad guys, lost meteor shard and incredibly attractive cat burglar.

  Nick Fury : That's it in a nut shell. Good luck down there.

  [the computer screen goes blank] 

• [as Black Cat tries to open a locked door, Spider-Man appears behind Black Cat and dangles upside down holding a web rope] 

  Black Cat : You think you're pretty sneaky, don't you?

  [Black Cat turns around and is face to face with Spider-Man] 

  Spider-Man : I was, uh... eh... Oh, boy.

  [Spider-Man releases his web, drops to the floor and stands before Black Cat] 

  Spider-Man : I'm looking for a crazy guy with big metal arms. Have you seen him?

  Black Cat : Yeah, he's inside this building.

  [Black Cat leans back against the locked door with a smile] 

  Black Cat : How bad do you want in?

  [Spider-Man scratches his head] 

  Spider-Man : Oh, uh... well... Pretty bad.

  Black Cat : Then I wanna go *with.*

  Spider-Man : *That*... could be *arranged.*

• [Doctor Octopus has a mind-control amulet on his chest and he walks with his tentacles to his machine containing his self-sustaining energy sun] 

  Doctor Octopus : Yes, yes, this will do nicely. The PHANTOMS should see their power increase *tenfold.*

  [Spider-Man is sticking to the side wall and looks down at Doctor Octopus] 

  Spider-Man : Thousands of miles from home and who do I bump into, but my favorite metal-armed maniac!

  [Doctor Octopus turns around and notices Spider-Man clinging to the wall] 

  Doctor Octopus : *Spider-Man!*

  [Spider-Man leaps off the wall and at Doctor Octopus, but he is struck in the ribs by Doc Ock, sent slamming back-first against the wall and falls to the floor] 

  Spider-Man : Oh...

  [Spider-Man gasps for air as he notices that Doctor Octopus is standing by his machine] 

  Spider-Man : Who needs ribs, anyway?

• [before a group of PHANTOMS appear] 

  Doctor Octopus : You're more fidgety than usual.

  Spider-Man : Something has my spider-sense going.

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : Spidey and friends, one. Bad guys, nothing.

  Doctor Octopus : Ye... *Friends?*

• [after a group of PHANTOMS appear] 

  Spider-Man : I was wondering when I'd find more of you - to *fight!*

  Black Cat : *I* was wondering when we would get a quiet moment alone.

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : What a workout!

  Green Goblin : For your *jaw?* Yes, I imagine it *was!*

• [a large PHANTOM appears to fight Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus] 

  Doctor Octopus : This one appears most sinister.

  Spider-Man : Oh, I bet you're just a big teddy bear, aren't you?

• [after defeating a group of PHANTOMS] 

  Spider-Man : Man, it feels good to be a super-hero!

  Doctor Octopus : And this is where we *stop* agreeing!

• [the Computer screen switches on] 

  Computer : Briefing software active. Sense of humor, offline.

  Spider-Man : Excuse me?

  Nick Fury : Computer was getting a little uppity, so I pulled a couple of chips.

  [a map of Tangaroa Island appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Tangaroa Island. Once believed mythical, this island at latitude four point eight one five and longitude a hundred and sixty two point three four two is mostly unexplored.

  Nick Fury : So far, we know this meteor shard hasn't been snatched yet. But there's still a pretty good deal of PHANTOM activity in the area. We sent someone in to retrieve the meteor shard, but we lost radio contact within twenty-four hours ago.

  [an image of Iron Fist appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Agent identity: Iron Fist. There is nothing funny about this name. Iron Fist is a master of the K'un L'un martial arts. His costume is not funny.

  Nick Fury : Clearly, I need to unhook some sarcasm circuits, too.

  Spider-Man : Oh, come on! Just give the poor thing its sense of humor back!

  [after a brief pause, an image of the SHIELD bird emblem appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Sense of humor reactivated.

  [stars drop down onto the screen and a red-and-white striped party hat drops and lands on the head of the SHIELD bird emblem] 

  Computer : Thank you, Spider-Man.

• Spider-Man : Computer, are the PHANTOMS on the island the same as what we saw in Tokyo?

  Computer : Last report from agent Iron Fist identified a nine percent symbiote index in all encountered PHANTOMS.

  Nick Fury : Computer, if you think you can behave yourself, please load up the villain profiles.

  [an image of Scorpion appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Scorpion. Scorpion's suit is equipped with a high-powered plasma laser. Warning: has a big tail!

  Nick Fury : *Computer*...

  [an image of Rhino appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Rhino. Rhino's strength is only matched by his lack of wits. Warning...

  [Computer chuckles] 

  Computer : Smells like a rhinoceros.

  Nick Fury : All right, that's enough! I want some computer techs in here right now! I want...

  [Spider-Man talks over Nick Fury, who is still indistinctly shouting orders] 

  Spider-Man : I'll tell you what. I'll leave you two to sort this out and I'll go see if I can find your buddy Iron Fist and that meteor shard.

• [Spider-Man lands crouched before a mind-controlled Scorpion] 

  Spider-Man : Hey. What'cha doing, pal?

  Scorpion : Keeping you occupied while the others collect the shards!

  [Scorpion swats his tail at Spider-Man, but he flips away and lands on the ground] 

  Spider-Man : So your plan to keep me occupied is to put a big tail on your costume and hit me with it? Genius!

• [after his mind-control amulet has been destroyed, Scorpion shakes his head, looks around at the temple he's in and he notices Spider-Man standing before him] 

  Scorpion : Whoa! This ain't New York!

  Spider-Man : Ooh, observant! Tell me, now that I've broken the mind control, what's going on?

  Scorpion : *Mind control?*

  [Scorpion slams his fists on the ground in anger] 

  Scorpion : Somebody needs a *thumping*, 'cause I don't like being out of control!

  [Spider-Man crouches and looks at Scorpion] 

  Spider-Man : And yet, when you're *in* control, you dress up like a scorpion and act crazy. Go figure.
