Suggested by underworld_stories

Previously on Spider-Man we saw Harry Osborn agree to work with Gustav Fiers and Flint Marco while Spider-Man tried to stop the Black Cat. Now on Spider-Man the episode opens with Peter in the bathroom with bloodshot eyes as he holds onto the sink and screams as the symbiote surrounds his body. We cut to Harry Osborn who is being lowered into a vat of chemicals. Harry starts to have second thoughts and asks to be let out but Gustav smiles as Harry is shot full of the Goblin serum. We cut back to Peter who is now dealing with crime a little bit different than normal. We see Herman Schultz aka Shocker beating up someone that owes whoever he works for money. Peter tries to stop it calmly but Shocker gets aggressive and so Peter dodges him and then rips the back of his suit off that was powering his gauntlets. Peter gets Herman to the ground and starts electrocuting Herman with his own suit. Peter starts enjoying Herman's pain and starts to smile. Just then Ned Leeds from the Daily Bugle shows up and starts taking photos. Peter realizes what he is doing and swings away. The episode ends with Ned bringing the photos to J. Jonah Jameson who after a year of Spider-Man being in the city is ready to expose him as the menace he truly is.
