Tired of his arch-enemy running the country, Spider-Man breaks into Oscorp and downloads video evidence of Norman conducting brutal human experiments. Norman catches him in the act and he battles Spider-Man as the Iron Patriot. As the Patriot gets the upper hand, Spider-Man slips into his civilian guise and sneaks into an internet cafe to upload the disc to the web. Iron Patriot finds him but has to endure a scathing tongue lashing from Peter Parker in a very public forum where using his powers would lead to nothing but more bad press.
