West Village-Spidey and Norman
[Spidey sees a drop ship plop down in West Village and goes swinging. He's already fought at least a dozen without breaking a sweat, so how bad could one little ship full be? He flies through the air and then pounces on the first guy who gets out of the ship. A nasty dude with a beard that looks like he's trying to grow an ecosystem in it.] Dude! The Grateful Dead broke up! Get over it! [He folds his hands together and brings them down hard on the guy's head, knocking him out cold.]
The next group of guys charge and Spidey is already hopping around, shooting web and generally being awesome.
But, then the pain starts. It's like a black cloud rolling through his brain and all he can hear is Doctor Octopus laughing at him.] Oh, now you show up? Coward! You said you wanted to try to be good! You said you wanted to change!
[Spider-Man is yelling at no one, raving like a crazy homeless person. The space pirates are taken a little aback for a second until one stabs him in the shoulder and another goes to tie him up. Peter doesn't even seem to notice, it's like the little Spider is lost in his own web.]
