Synopsis

Peter is floored by Mary Jane’s revelation that she knows he is Spider-Man. The Black Cat shows up at his pad and Mary Jane takes off. Peter decides to have Mr. Fantastic check it out the black costume. Reed Richards discovers that Spider-Man's black costume is an alien that is trying to bond with him symbiotically. He uses a sonic blaster to separate Spider-Man from his costume. Spider-Man swings home in an old Fantastic Four uniform with a paper bag for a mask. Mary Jane drops by to talk. Hobgoblin has a little proposition for the Rose.
