Phil Sheldon has published a best-selling book, the "Marvels," yet the media and public constantly disparage and fear those powered beings who repeatedly save humans from all sorts of threats and disasters; the belittling of the Marvels wears on Phil and he decides to even the scales a bit - by clearing Spider-Man of the charge for the murder of Capt. George Stacy.
