Previously on Spider -Man.

Hey!

I'm losing my spider powers.

Because of Spider -Man, you failed, Kingpin.

With my Insidious Six, Spider -Man is finished.

Greetings from the Kingpin, chameleon.

A helicopter will land in the main yard.

It will take you to freedom.

Welcome, my Insidious Six.

We're sure to defeat Spider -Man.

Can't find a trace of them anywhere.

No bank robberies, no jewel thefts.

No, not again!

I keep losing my powers.

Can I help you?

Peter collapsed on the street.

Good heavens, take me to him.

Aunt May!

If you ever want to see your Aunt May again...

Aunt May.

You poor dear.

Ready for the end?

My pretty!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Radio, I dance, fire, fire, fire Fire, fire, fire, fire

Radio, fire, fire

Fire, fire, fire, fire

Radio, fire, fire, fire

Fire, fire, fire, fire

Are you okay in here, Mrs. Parker?

I'm fine, but is there any news about Peter's condition?

It's serious, but he's getting good treatment from Dr. Octavius and his people.

Time to take your medicine, you fly -eating fool.

And my shock therapy's just what the doctor ordered.

If I thought it would bring back my spider powers, I'd be tempted.

But since the attending position is Doc Ock, I'd better steer clear.

My holocubes!

I told you to store them somewhere else.

Lucky for me, I have a little bit of my spider agility left.

Mysterio's virtual reality technology.

Amazing.

What is wrong with you, Spider -Man?

Why do you hide behind these silly tricks?

Why do you not fight us?

For one simple reason.

Without my powers, I'm as phony as this jungle.

Still gotta avoid the wild animals, though.

And that includes rhinos.

Scorpions. And especially octopi.

What a disappointment.

I had wanted a much tougher battle.

All I want are my powers back so I can rescue Aunt May.

Gentlemen, I must congratulate you.

You've justified my faith in your combined abilities.

Kingpin, Silvermane is on line two.

Kingpin, the crime lords have been patient, but your failure to squash

Spider -Man forces me to act on their behalf.

Alistair, patch our friend Silvermane into the video from the warehouse.

Watch this!

You've actually caught the vermin?

You see it with your own eyes.

Assuming they have not failed you yet, old man.

It seems that congratulations are in order.

The crime lords will be pleased to learn that you've fulfilled their request.

I captured Spider -Man.

Not at anyone's request but because he is my enemy.

And I always eliminate my enemies.

It is time to proceed.

Unmask him.

Doctor, the honors are yours.

No!

Spider -Man is Peter Parker?

Well, Peter Parker is the face behind the Spider -Man mask.

Yes, it all makes sense now.

I've lost.

Even worse.

I failed Aunt May.

I say we destroy him now!

Your mind is as empty as that fishbowl you covered with.

Can you not see the truth?

100

He is not Spider -Man.

101

I'm not.

102

Think of his miserable performance here tonight.

103

The last time I fought

104

Spider -Man, he was formidable, powerful, agile, almost invincible.

105

This time he was ridiculous.

106

Wait a minute, I get it.

107

You couldn't find the real

108

Spider -Man, so you put on a cheap Halloween costume?

109

Right.

110

Sure can't trick you guys.

111

What do you take us for?

112

Fools, I'm shocked.

113

And you're gonna be too!

114

What you ruined my blast for?

115

I did not want you to hurt the lad, sucker.

116

I only wish all my students was resourceful.

117

Thanks, I guess.

118

The truth is, Parker, if you are really concerned about your unsafety, you can guarantee it by leading us to the real Spider -Man.

119

You always were a fast learner.

120

It seems my congratulations were premature, Kingpin.

121

We crime lords asked you to destroy

122

Spider -Man, and instead you kidnap an old lady and strong -arm her weak nephew.

123

Pathetic!

124

To think I used to admire you.

125

Hammerhead.

126

Kingpin has failed.

127

The time to take him down is now.

128

We got the firepower.

129

Kingpin don't stand a chance.

130

The crime lords are going to hit me.

131

But I will hit them first.

132

And thanks to my insidious six, I will hit them harder.

133

Now pay attention, all of you.

134

I wish I knew who they're listening to on those headsets.

135

Who's their leader?

136

And what does he have in store for me?

137

Aunt May.

138

Oh, Peter, I've been so worried.

139

The doctor says I had a virus.

140

Don't worry, ma 'am.

141

With Dr. Octavius, your nephew's in the very best of hands.

142

Yeah, all six of them.

143

I do not want you to worry anymore.

144

I will call a cab to take you home.

145

Leave him to us, and he will be fine.

146

Don't worry, Aunt May.

147

Just go home.

148

I can't.

149

Not without doing this first.

150

Stay healthy.

151

I'll do my best.

152

I thought she'd never leave.

153

Now remember, Parker, if you don't lead us to Spider -Man, we'll go after her again.

154

This time, she'll need the hospital bed.

155

Hey, buddy, where do you think you're going?

156

Anywhere I want, punk.

157

Oh, Mr. Hammerhead, sir.

158

I didn't realize it was you.

159

Hammerhead?

160

What are you doing here?

161

What's going on?

162

The fat man beat us to the punch.

163

We gotta get you out of here fast.

164

Security alert.

165

All floors.

166

We're under attack.

167

And now it's time to pay the piper.

168

Go, go, go!

169

Silvermane!

170

Your hide belongs to us.

171

We got an armored car in the basement.

172

Thank you for the assistance, Hammerhead.

173

Hey, I thought you said we were going to the basement.

174

You also thought you were a match for Kingpin.

175

On both times, you were wrong.

176

This is the chameleon.

177

I've got him.

178

Thank goodness you escaped, sir.

179

No thanks to your incompetence.

180

Get the word to the others.

181

The attack on Crime Central is off.

182

Kingpin is too powerful.

183

Now get out of my sight, you useless dunderheads.

184

Yes, sir.

185

Ah, Superman, so glad you could join us.

186

Coats?

187

Gentlemen?

188

No, thanks.

189

I already got one.

190

And thankfully, it'll keep this costume hidden.

191

I'm only gonna get one chance to trick these guys into letting me escape.

192

And I've gotta make it count.

193

What time do you usually meet with Spider -Man?

194

Midnight.

195

On the roof.

196

Why here?

197

Why this roof?

198

Well, it's big.

199

He can see if I'm alone or not.

200

He doesn't really trust me.

201

Why does he meet with you at all?

202

I think he likes to see his picture in the paper.

203

He needs all the PR he can get, right?

204

All set.

205

Since my number one student says

206

Spider -Man is due at midnight, it's time I gave myself some elbow room.

207

Do you really think he's going to show up with the six of you standing around like lawn furniture?

208

Thanks to my technology, we'll get the drop on him.

209

Thanks to your technology, I'll get the drop on you, laughing boy.

210

What the?

211

What's that?

212

Get up, you Neanderthals!

213

He must have gotten a hold of one of my holocubes!

214

No geek makes a fool out of a rhino.

215

Luckily, I don't have to.

216

These holocubes can do the job for me.

217

Time to give an award -winning performance.

218

Look out, Spider -Man!

219

It's an ambush!

220

Shut up!

221

Shocker's blast should have creamed me, but it didn't.

222

It can only mean one thing.

223

My spider powers must be returning.

224

Oops.

225

But they're not back 100%.

226

Hey, fly eater.

227

What happened to the kid?

228

Did he go splatter what?

229

I took care of that snitch, Parker.

230

And now I'm gonna take care of you.

231

Right.

232

For starters, I might just drown you in nervous sweat.

233

The best seats in the city, as promised.

234

Once you've witnessed

235

Spider -Man's demise, you will inform your fellow crime lords that I, will be taking over your territory.

236

Never!

237

Perhaps a seat even closer to the action will change your mind.

238

Help!

239

Hey, who's the old man?

240

Someone else who was injudicious enough to have crossed us.

241

Please, help me.

242

I hadn't realized we were fishing for spiders.

243

Hey, Smythe.

244

No!

245

What are you doing?

246

Well, you did ask for help, right?

247

Silvermane?

248

And Spider -Man?

249

Allies?

250

Oh!

251

Smooth.

252

Just the way I planned it.

253

Chameleon, Mysterio, Rhino, use the fire escape.

254

The rest of you, down through the building.

255

So, why'd you get invited to this little party?

256

I'm very wealthy.

257

They said they were holding me for ransom.

258

You've got to hand it to those guys.

259

They've never met a crime they didn't like.

260

Stay here till I come back.

261

If I come back.

262

Got your web head.

263

Calm down, Rhino.

264

It's me, the chameleon.

265

I'm only looking this way

266

267

285

What's going on out there?

286

Report!

287

Report!

288

You know, I've never been one to seek out the spotlight.

289

Sorry about this, but if you say, ho, ho, ho, real loud, there's less chance you'll get stuck.

290

Tempus fugit, and your time has run out Spider -Man.

291

No way I can defeat

292

Doc Ock now.

293

Wait, maybe I can get Scorpion to lend me a tail.

294

It's no good.

295

We've got to land.

296

I'm heading back to base.

297

No, no, you can't.

298

I won't let

299

Spider -Man defeat me again.

300

Go back.

301

Go back!

302

Ouch.

303

I'd hate to see the repair bill on that.

304

Can't you find anybody coordinated to work with?

305

Scorpion, you malodorous bungler.

306

People are always doing that.

307

I hate to be called named!

308

Scorpion, you gonna take that abuse from a six -armed freak?

309

Never!

310

This is my cue to skidoo.

311

Scorpion, you have made the big mistake of making me angry!

312

Blessed are the peacemakers.

313

Sorry, children.

314

I only bring presents on Christmas.

315

Good.

316

You're all right.

317

Thank you, Spider -Man.

318

Not only did you save me many dollars in ransom, but you've enhanced my reputation as well.

319

Bye, Santa!

320

Not bad.

321

Aunt May's safe, and I saved a kindly sweet old man, too.

322

He must be annihilated.

323

Kingpin is nothing but a plague upon the city of New York.

324

He must be eradicated!

325

At last, I can go home like a normal wall crawler and get some sleep.

326

So what do we do now?

327

The Kentrance promised a word, but he ain't delivered.

328

He's nothing but a bag of hot air.

329

I'm out of here.

330

I too feel that there are more verdant pastures to be explored.

331

No, you can't leave.

332

I command you to stop.

333

Command this, windbag.

334

Now Silvermane will rally the crime lords against you.

335

You've dug yourself an awfully deep grave this time.

336

This is only a temporary setback.

337

In the end, Silvermane will be the one to occupy that grave.

338

Felicia, I'm really sorry I missed our...

339

Date?

340

It's okay, Parker.

341

Well, maybe we can have dinner tonight.

342

I'm afraid Felicia is having dinner with me tonight.

343

And for the rest of the week.

344

Oh.

345

Look, we've got to run.

346

Michael's taking me to a science exhibit.

347

He makes everything seem so interesting.

348

And he thinks enough of me to show up on time.

349

Ciao, Parker.

350

Yeah, sure.

351

Ciao.

352

Goodbye, Parker.

353

Unbelievable.

354

Peter!

355

Dr. Octavius let me go early.

356

Oh, bless his heart.

357

He did such a good job taking care of you.

358

He did a job on me, all right.

359

Well, you look pretty good to me.

360

Mary Jane!

361

Don't tell me you were worried, too.

362

Of course I was worried, Peter.

363

About your aunt.

364

Stay loose, Tiger.

365

Come on, Doc.

366

My powers came back and I feel great.

367

How bad can the test results be?

368

This bad, the mutagenic factor in your blood has undergone another transformation.

369

Did you say mutagenic as in mutant?

370

I'm afraid that's right.

371

As near as I can figure, whatever turned you into Spider -Man was not a one -time process.

372

It was just the beginning.

373

The beginning of what?

374

You're still changing, and it's accelerating.

375

So while I can't tell you exactly what your DNA is transforming you into, one thing's already clear.

376

It won't be human.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
