Spider-Man Page #2

Synopsis: Based on Marvel Comics' superhero character, this is a story of Peter Parker who is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighborhood girl Mary Jane Watson. To say his life is "miserable" is an understatement. But one day while on an excursion to a laboratory a runaway radioactive spider bites him... and his life changes in a way no one could have imagined. Peter acquires a muscle-bound physique, clear vision, ability to cling to surfaces and crawl over walls, shooting webs from his wrist ... but the fun isn't going to last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn administers a performance enhancing drug on himself and his maniacal alter ego Green Goblin emerges. Now Peter Parker has to become Spider-Man and take Green Goblin to the task... or else Goblin will kill him. They come face to face and the war begins in which only one of them will survive at the end.

They showed an 800 percent increase in strength.

- Excellent.

- Any side effects?

-In one trial yes.

-It was an aberration.

All the tests since

have been successful.

In the trial that went wrong, what happen?

what were the side effects?

Violence, aggression...

...and insanity.

- What do you recommend?

- That was only one test.

With the exception of Dr. Strom our entire staff

certifies the product

...ready for human testing.

- Dr. Stromm?

We need to take the whole line

back to formula.

- Back to formula?

- Dr. Osborn.

I'm going to be frank with you.

I never supported your program. We

have my predecessor to thank for that.

Norman, the General gave the go-ahead

to request aerospace

...to build a prototype

of their exoskeleton design.

- They test in two weeks.

- And if your so-called performance enhancers

...have not had a successful

human trial by that date...

...I'm gonna pull your funding.

I'm going to give it to them.

Gentlemen. Ladies.

And the Lord said, "Let there be light."

And voil! There is light.

Forty soft, glowing watts of it.

Good boy. God will be thrilled.

Just don't fall on your ass.

I'm already on my ass, May.

When the plant's senior electrician

is laid off after 35 years...

...what would you call it?

I am on my ass.

Hand me that dish. The green one.

The corporation is downsizing

the people...

...and upsizing their profits.

Oh, Ben, you'll get another job

somewhere.

Well, let's look

in the paper and see.

There are the want ads.

What do we got here?

Computer...

Computer salesman, computer engineer,

computer analyst.

My Lord, even the computers

need analysts these days.

I'm 68. I'm too old for computers, and

besides, I have a family to provide for.

I love you. And Peter loves you.

You're the most responsible man

I've ever known.

We've been down-and-out before.

But somehow, we survive.

Hi, sweetie. You're just...

Just in time for dinner.

How you doing? How was the field trip?

I don't feel well.

I'm gonna go to sleep.

- You won't have a bite?

- No thanks, had a bite.

Did you get some pictures, Peter?

I gotta crash. Everything's fine.

What's that all about?

In this recombination lab...

...we use synthesized transfer RNA

to encode an entirely new genome...

...combining the genetic

information from all three...

... into these 15 genetically

designed super-spiders.

Dr. Osborn, please.

The performance enhancers aren't ready.

The data just doesn't justify

this test.

Now, I'm asking you for the last time.

We can't do this.

Don't be a coward.

Risks are part of laboratory science.

Let me reschedule,

with the proper medical staff and a volunteer.
