In "Das Ende Stahlfingers," Spider-Man faces off against the Prowler in a tense showdown that ends with the thief escaping using a gas bomb. The Prowler, driven by a misguided desire to be seen as a hero, sets up a new robbery to reclaim stolen goods—only to find Spider-Man waiting, ready for him. When the gas fails to work, the confrontation leads to a surprising revelation: the Prowler is just a young man with good intentions, and Spider-Man chooses mercy over punishment.

In the year 2000, New York City is gripped by panic as authorities hunt a suspected plague carrier trying to slip away unnoticed.

In "Das Abenteuer des Grünen Kobolds," the Green Goblin orchestrates a dramatic showdown by enlisting the Enforcers and convincing B.J. Cosmos to film the chaos in the desert. As the staged battle unfolds, Spider-Man is caught in the crossfire—only to trigger an unexpected awakening when the fight stirs ancient forces beneath the sand.
