Later, on patrol, Spidey is attacked by Mysterio and tormented by illusions of his deadliest villains. His emotional state helps wear him down and he's left unconscious. Afterwards at the Daily Bugle, Peter learns that Mysterio died in prison almost a year ago and Peter begins to doubt his sanity.

While trying to figure out a way to recover his Spider-Mobile from the bottom of the harbor, Mysterio attacks again, but it's just to taunt him. Mysterio's illusions start to seep into Peter's personal life; he even things he see Gwen Stacy. Sick and tired of being manipulated, Spidey discovers an image induced that Mysterio planted on him and uses it to track Mysterio down. Spidey catches Mysterio by surprises and defeats him rather easily. Mysterio turns out to be Danny Berkhart who used to work with the original Mysterio. It turns out as well, that Berkhart's venture as Mysterio was funded by J. Jonah Jameson.

Spidey thinks he sees Gwen Stacy again, but assumes it's an after effect of his run-in with Mysterio. Peter pops by the Daily Bugle to learn that Ned Leeds and Betty Brant are to be married. He's also recruited by Robbie Robertson to go to France as J. Jonah Jameson's gone missing and Robertson has received a ransom note. Before leaving for France, Peter and Mary Jane exchange a wonderfully romantic kiss that leaves Mary Jane stunned. In France, Robertson is attacked by some costumed goons who prove to be rather easy for Spidey to take down. Unfortunately, their boss, the Cyclone shows up and takes Spidey out of the action. Cyclone takes Robertson captive as well and demands a million dollars within 24 hours or both he and Jameson die.

Jay's Notes:
- First appearance of the Cyclone.

Synopsis:
In France, Peter waits at the hotel until the kidnappers tell him where and when to exchange the money for Robbie Robertson and J. Jonah Jameson. Of course Peter figures that the best way to pull off the exchange is to have Spidey deliver the money. Spidey takes down Cyclone's goons and takes on Cyclone himself. Fortunately, with a bit of planning and preparation, Spidey's able to defeat Cyclone with a giant fan. He rescues Robbie Robertson and J. Jonah Jameson and tricks them into believing that Spidey is actually working with Peter.

Aunt May faints and the Scorpion tries to look elsewhere in the hospital for Spider-man which gives Peter the chance to put his costume on.
