After Charlie's disastrous experiment, the vibranium he was working with is bonded to his skin. He confronts Peter, reminding him of their past, and demands his help.

Publisher’s description

Another pulse-pounding issue of Amazing Spider-Man done in the stupendous Straczynski style! Peter must confront a foe who- like himself- was given amazing powers during a science experiment gone awry. But why does this adversary blame Peter for the mishap in the laboratory, and just how far will he take his quest for vengeance?
