Edderkoppen #3/1993

In "Helteredusereren," Spider-Man confronts the limits of his abilities when Dr. Turner reveals a machine capable of stripping him of his powers—prompting Peter to consider a permanent sacrifice for Aunt May’s safety. With the Femme Fatales watching from the shadows and J. Jonah Jameson’s relentless scrutiny looming, Peter must decide whether to walk away from being a hero for good.

In "Kraftløs!", Spider-Man voluntarily undergoes a procedure with Dr. Turner to temporarily lose his powers, hoping to gain perspective on life without them. But when the machine is activated, the doctor betrays him—revealing Spider-Man’s vulnerability to Tarantula, who now sees an opening to strike. With Mary Jane Watson, Flash Thompson, Svarte Katta, May Parker, and Willie Lumpkin caught in the crossfire, the city’s web-slinger faces his greatest challenge yet: surviving not as a hero, but as a man without powers.
