Wolverine discovers that his old pal Charlemagne is killing off KGB agents that attacked her during an old mission so he heads off to Germany to track her down. Peter and Ned travel to Germany to cover the same story for the Bugle. Ned is killed by the KGB. Spider-Man interferes in Wolverine’s Charlie hunt and messes things up pretty badly. During a final encounter where Wolverine is trying to give Charlie a quick and merciful death, Spider-Man tries to stop him and, during the ensuing confusion of battle, ends up accidentally killing Charlemagne himself.
