Plot
Midtown High School students are watching as Peter Parker / Spider-Man is battling against Molten Man, a super-powered criminal with Pyrokinetic abilities seeking a unknown power source within Midtown High. It turns out to be coming from the Blood Gem shard which is on Liz Allan's possession. Just as Spider-Man webs him down as hard as possible, Molten Man attempts to shoot a fire blast at the students who take cover, but Liz (who was not notified of the danger is hit by the blast. However, for Spider-Man's relief and Molten Man's confusion, Liz is unharmed and well, and, after knocking Molten Man unconscious, Spider-Man checks on Liz and notices the Blood Gem shard in her hands before it dissolves and its energy is transferred to Liz's body.

As Molten Man is taken in to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody by Yuri Watanabe and her men, Spider-Man checks on Liz to see if she suffered any side-effects despite having survived Molten Man's attack without any sign of injury. To their both surprise, Liz finds herself able to liberate fire from her body, eventually discovering that the Blood Gem shard absorbed some portions of Molten Man's powers and transferred them to Liz, who is at first terrified but still, remembering the lesson Peter learned as Spider-Man, filled with purpose to embrace these powers for the greater good, although Peter suggests she needs to understand and practice her abilities more. Later on, Spider-Man is battling a gang of criminals seeking to assault Oscorp of behalf of Wilson Fisk the Kingpin. The robbers are soon foiled and humiliated by Screwball, who does not sound like or appear to be Liz as Spider-Man first discovered and is shown to be more heroic than she previously was.
