Synopsis for "The Birth of a Super-Hero!"

At first it seems that Spider-Man has robbed a bank and drops the bag and its contents in the river near the Queensboro Bridge. [1] Then it is reinforced when at the Daily Bugle Building Frederick Foswell comes rushing in looking for J. Jonah Jameson to tell him that Spider-Man has just robbed a bank. Betty brant is there at the Bugle talking to Ned leeds. We find Jameson at Kennedy Airport with his son John. On John's recent spacewalk he contacted space spores. This reaction to the space spores suddenly increase his size and make him stronger.[2]
Within sixty minutes the doctors agree that the spores must come from Jupiter and not long after this disnosis that Stark Industries have provided a special suit for John Jameson. After hearing from Frederick Foswell at the Bugle that Spider-Man has robbed a bank, the senior Jameson suggest that John become a super-hero and should battle Spider-Man.[3] Meanwhile at a nearby courthouse the Rhino lies unconcious until the doctors leave and slam the door on the way out. At the same courthouse Foggy Nelson decides to accept the defence of the Rhino.[4] At that moment the Rhino almost escapes but is subdued by a Spray Tranquillizer.
Back at Empire State University Gwen Stacy invites Peter to a Party at her house on Sunday but he must decline as he is to meet his neighbours niece Mary Jane Watson.[5] Spider-Man then fights John Jameson and explains why he was robbing the Bank at the beginning of the story.
Finally Peter does meet Mary Jane and her famous first words are "Face it tiger...you just hit the jackpot!" [6]
