Flesh And Blood
November 21st, 1989
Head Honcho Skin-Head has completely lost it. He transforms into a big fleshy bag, extruding pseudo-pods and varying greatly in mass (completely disregarding the laws of physics) as he chases his former cronies through the junk-yard outside the front of their HQ. He eats and absorbs their flesh, leaving nothing but the dried bones. Eeeeuch! Clearly, the first step to forming a master-race is absorbing everybody who agrees with you. Hmmm... how does that work?
Rocket Racer and Spidey do some research, while the sub-plots progress further (more on that later, let's not get distracted now). Rocket Racer tracks down Eddies father, who turns out to be the son of a staunch Zionist. Yep, Eddie is Jewish. His father is a rabbi, no less. Then we get some moralising about "victims of racism becoming racist." Wow, that's exactly what happened to Rocket Racer when he got picked on that morning - wow, that's deep! Now Rocket Racer just wants to help Eddie.
Well, here's his chance. The amorphous blob of flesh that was formerly "Eddie The Cross" comes crashing through the window. Battle is joined, as Eddie tries (with varying degrees of success) to absorb pretty much everyone in sight into his blobby mass - his dad, Spidey, Nick Katzenburg, a couple of teens making out in a nearby car, plus Rocket Racer. But Spidey saves the day when he spots the shadow of a skeleton inside the fleshy body. He leaps inside the jelly-like substance, and fights with the skeleton. Blech!
Eddie is KO'd. He's a multiple murderer. Should we call the police, or stand around moralising?
So Eddie's dad speculates that Eddie's character was his fault, because he was so proud of being a Jew, he drove his son to extremism. But Spidey and Rocket Racer reject that rather flawed proposition, although they offer nothing in return - except some "Readers Digest" prattle about each of us holding the torch of human dignity.
