Friday Night Fights Ricochet Style!

You know who never gets any respect as a Spider-Villain?

The Shocker, that's who!!

Well, OK, that's because he really doesn't deserve any respect, as we'll see in this week's Friday Night Fight!!

Shocker has a plan to black out the whole of New York City unless he gets a million dollar ransom--which the mayor has refused to pay!

Fortunately, Spider-Man put the kibosh on Shocker's attempt to take out a power plant--except Web-Head is jumped by security guards who believe the Daily Bugle...which gives Shocky a chance to escape...and move in for the kill!

WHUDD!! THAMM! BRODD!! CRAKK!

Spacebooger still hopes to see Shocker as a villain in the next Spider-Man movie...

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Holiday bro--I don't have to come up with an answer. Just go vote!!

There Is A Downside To Maniacal Laughter

An important lesson for all villains:

Maniacal laughter can be bad for your health.

By the way, that is the mysterious mercenary known only as "The Pro," in his final ever appearance. Since the Marvel Universe is not a good place to be if you dislike maniacal laughter so much, we can only assume he moved to somewhere better-suited. Riverdale, maybe? The Harveyverse?

Oh, and the Shocker is OK--that was just a tranquilizer he was shot with. Because nobody better kill the Shocker--he rules!!
