This time out, Ock’s stolen plane has just landed at an airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Wouldn’t language have been a factor when the pilot was negotiating to land then?). Ock is being very cruel to said pilot, toying with him over whether he’s going to kill him or not. But apparently that choice must wait til he’s found Spider-Man.

Hey, he found him!


Slapping Ock in the face with his own arm is pretty funny. Spider-Man’s flying body smashes a wing on the plane in half (That seems unlikely), and as he gets up, he sees a sign in Portuguese and realizes he’s not in America. Ock is flailing wildly, having lost his glasses, which allows our man to swoop in, land 3 consecutive haymakers, and end the fight. And then he’s left to worry about how much trouble he’ll be in when he gets home. Then military and government types show up, but there’s a language barrier, until a lady who speaks English appears and Spidey call tell her what’s going on. And she can tell him he’s in Brazil.

Our man just bolts, leaping away before anyone can do anything. And then another plane takes off, and the lady he was talking to eyes it suspiciously. She is right to do so.

Our freezing hero rifles through people’s luggage til he finds some warm clothes, and then falls asleep until the plane landing wakes him up. He reads some luggage tags and deduces he’s in Atlanta. Then he spots a big trunk headed for Newark and gets in there. Soon he is loaded onto another plane, complaining that this never happens to the X-Men, the Ultimate, or the Fantastic Four that don’t exist. Then he passes out again until being awakened by baggage handlers in New Jersey, and leaps out of the plane.

There follows some pretty comical business with Spider-Man actually seeing May in her cab and then trying to beat it to the house. He does, and is trying to figure out how to explain how messed up he looks, but…

…he’s got bigger problems.
