Bagging him will be no problem, but that's the beginning! Black Cat, your less than purr-fect ex-main squeeze, has a scoop that Curtis Connors—a.k.a. The Lizard—knows who framed you. Johnny Storm has a hot tip that Venom's evil twin, Carnage, is turning the amusement park into his personal house of horrors. Graviton is down at the factory playing catch with the masonry!

GETTING AROUND...
THE A-MAZE-ING SPIDER-MAN
Many of the levels and locations where each of the Super-Villains hang out are next to each other. The factory lies just beyond the apartments. The lab sits within the factory.
However, crossing between these levels not only requires obtaining pick-ups that give access to transport or locked doors (see Pick-Ups on pages 9-10), but, also, when no other route is available, finding your way through the maze of underground sewers that honeycomb the city. Don't get lost!
NEW YORK, NEW YORK...
IT'S A WONDERFUL TOWN!
Thugs on the streets, rats in the sewers, robot guards in the factories...you gotta love this place!
LEVEL 1: City Streets
Maybe you should have stayed home! Guys with machine guns are nailing you from the windows, while the thugs on the street try to light your fire with flaming torches. Give 'em more than a cold shoulder!
SUPER VILLAIN: The Hobgoblin
Desperate for super-powers, Jason Macendale made a deal with a demon, but in the bargain had his face twisted into a grotesque replica of his goblin mask. Still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and whoever hired this demented mercenary must be loving every minute of his destructive performance. Riding his ghoulish "Goblin Glider" and lobbing explosive Jack O' Lanterns, The Hobgoblin is dangerously unhinged!
LEVEL 2: The Lab.
The Lab boasts a security system liable to put more than a snag in your spandex! Its on-screen sights target intruders and then blows 'em away!
However, Black Cat warned you that the only way to make The Lizard into a canary-and sing the name of the person setting you up-was to turn him back into Curt Connors. To do that, you'll need the Vaccine antidote secured in the Lab. Getting it requires obliterating the light panel locking system...anyway you can think of!
LEVEL 3: The Sewers
Rats can carry hundreds of deadly diseases. Vampire Bats drink human blood...and these sewers swarm with both! Every attack from either vermin will drain your energy, so find The Lizard fast or your Super Hero days are numbered!
SUPER VILLAIN: The Lizard.
Curt Connors was once one of Spidey's closest friends, but using reptiles to regenerate his missing right arm resulted in an unfortunate side effect...he mutated into a humanoid lizard. Corner him in the sewers and subdue him. If you've got the Vaccine, he'll provide more than vital information.
LEVEL 4: The Factory
Armed robot guards patrol the factory compound. Rocket powered orb bombs defend the interiors. Toxic goop drops from the machinery and runs in streams underfoot. In short: wear your hard hat at all times and beware! The ceiling doesn't just fall down here, it also falls up!
SUPER-VILLAIN: Graviton
Thanks to an explosion at a nearby super-collider that intermingled Graviton's body molecules with sub-atomic graviton particles (the particles that carry the force of gravitational attraction), this former physicist now carries out some earth shattering experiments. He has the power to fly, elevate mammoth objects, and, more importantly, if anyone gets in his way, drop mammoth objects!
LEVEL 5: The Amusement Park
Skip the cotton candy, you're heading for the white knuckle ride of your life. Climb on board, enjoy the scenery, scream, wave your arms, but watch out! The maximum headroom gets tight even for a spider!
SUPER-VILLAIN: Carnage
When the alien symbiote, Venom, broke Eddie Brock out of jail, the creature left behind a spawn! And that spawn fused with Eddie's cell-mate Cletus Kasady: a sociopathic lunatic who, taking the name Carnage, doesn't even
