| Synopsis |
Peter talks Jonah into letting him take pics at the circus as Spider-Man is supposed to put in an appearance (Pete is interested as HE is the one and only Spider-Man); Foggy and Karen talk Matt into taking a night off and catching the show at the big top themselves; Watching the show from the rafters, the real Spidey actually ends up saving the fake Spidey from a lethal fall but this allows the Ringmaster to implement his devious plan of using his trick hat to hypnotize the web-slinger; Ringmaster also mesmerizes the entire crown but before he can rob them, Matt changes to Daredevil and opposes him as he is not affected by the hypnotic powers thanks to his blindness; Ringmaster sends Spidey to take on DD and the two battle before Spider-Man is snapped out of his mental control and the two beat on the Ringmaster and his circus of criminals. |
