The web-slinger is being pursued by a relentless foe who gives new meaning to the adage "beauty is only skin-deep"!

One of Parker's high school tormenters puts various clues together. He breaks into the lab that held the radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his spider-powers. The original spider is long dead but the bully eats it. He essentially becomes living spiders in a human suit and moves from human to human over the years. Now in the form of a Bugle employee, he's come to finish off the wall-crawler.
