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 Spidey as the Iron Patriot. As the Patriot gets the upper hand, Spidey 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.
