SPIDER-MAN (Neil Patrick Harris) foils a robbery attempt by the criminal group PTERODAX. Next, the gang invades the Empire-1 newsroom, threatens hostages and sets a deadly trap for SPIDER-MAN.
Pterodax has the worst name in crime history, but this group of tech-savvy villains is a force to be reckoned with. They've taken hostages at a news station and are threatening to kill everyone in two hours unless SM shows up. He's already there.
