"I, Monster!", script by Tom DeFalco, pencils by Rafael Kayanan, inks by Bud LaRosa
Spider-Man swings through the city on what seems to be a quiet night. During his patrol, he happens on a young man being mugged in park. After stopping the mugging, Spider-Man swings away unaware that the man he just saved was in fact Synch from Generation X. Spider-Man is hit with the same spore that got Synch. The result is Peter Parker's transformation in to an actual spider-like creature! He manages to maintain his human intellect though. In his new form, Spider-Man confronts and attacks Plantman.
