Blackie Glaxon is the new cellmate of Doctor Octopus and he offers a large sum of money if the Doctor will break them out.

Later, the escapees show up at Ben's apartment and kidnap Betty, taking her to an abandoned ship. Spider-Man follows and fights Octopus, while Ben finally switches sides and fights Blackie.
