Marvel Two-In-One 30


Wolfman·JBuscema·Marcus·Cohen
BATTLE ATOP BIG BEN!: A bomb explodes in the Westminister Abbey, and the police arrive at the scene. The police are all gunned down with sleeping darts by a couple of terrorist (Chauncy and Trevor). At nearby Picadilly Circus, Ben Grimm hears the blast and runs towards the scene. As he apprehends the two terrorists, Spider-Woman attacks Grimm from the air with her venom-blast but she is surprised the Grimm was not stunned for it would have killed raging rhinoceros. Meanwhile, Chauncy and Trevor are doing what they came there to do, dig up paving stones to find the silver plate. In the course of battle, Spider-Woman retreats because Grimm is much stronger than what she was told.

As she flies away, she has trouble remember and doesn't know why she did not use her full power. She remembers a man inside a machine, then a blinding light and stepping out of another machine and nothing more. As she reports a failed mission to the HYDRA supreme, she is instructed to go to her room. It appears that Spider-Woman is under "superior hypnotic technique control.

The HYDRA Supreme indicates that they have the serum which has the genetic code that created Spider-Woman and the plan is for HYDRA to created an army of Spider-Women to conquer the world.

Grimm is with Scotland Yard and is talking with Nick Fury via a video call and getting all the information on Spider-Woman. And off the Haymarket in central London, Chauncy and Trevor are deciphering the sillve plate and planning to find the last clue of the silve plate.

Later that day, Spider-Woman kipnaps and grabs Alicia Masters from Ben Grimm by an aerial swoop down at the Tower of London. Soon after, Chauncy and Trevor attack Grimm as they make their way to steal the last silver plate. As Grimm tries to apprehend them again, he sees Spider-Woman flying overhead and tries to go after her. Grimm and the Spider-Woman end up battling on top of London's Watchtower, Big Ben. Spider-Woman shoots her venom blast and this time Grimm falls and ends up hanging on the ledge of Big Ben. Spider-Woman senses that Grimm has weakend. And as the venom start's penetrating Grimm's blood stream his knees start to buckle and he can barely hang on the ledge. Suddenly, Big Ben explodes and they both fall into the Thames River. Chauncy and Trevor look over a ledge, and think they are both dead. They plan to move ahead with their plans "unfettered."
