Stories

Jump for My Love or Spring Is in the Air · 23 pages
Spider-Man saves Toad from committing suicide, and Toad decides to try to become his sidekick. Spider-Man blows him off until the next day, and Toad recruits a gang of thugs to attack Spider-Man so he can show his worth to the web slinger. Frog-Man gets wise to the plot and shows up to help out. So does Spider-Kid. Finding a point of commonality amongst themselves, Toad, Frog-Man and Spider-Kid decide to become a new super team: the Misfits. Shaking his head in disbelief, Spider-Man is all too happy to simply walk away from the ludicrous situation.

Publisher’s description

The Toad, one of the original members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, is back! He, Frog-Man, and Spider-Kid take on Spidey in one off-beat story!
