Eventually, the arms make it allthe way to the Midwest...and free their master! Dr. Octopus is back in business! The six-armed super-villain swiftly resumes his criminal ways by hijacking an airplane and holding it for ransom! And thus setting up a battle on the tarmac vs. your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
