Spider-Man takes down another one of the Rose's operations and the mob boss calls in wealthy businessman and super powered assassin Thomas Fireheart a.k.a. The Puma to kill the web slinger. Exhausted, Peter crawls into bed for a good night's sleep but his alien costume seems to have other ideas. Robbie commends Peter on his nice photos (they were taken by the Black Cat) but Peter is so tired that he barely notices. Spider-Man is ambushed by the Puma and pulls his left arm out of its socket. With Spider-Man down and writhing in pain, the Puma prepares to pounce.
