    The plaza, already confused, gets even more chaotic as Electro begins throwing lightning. A police car explodes as it takes a lightning bolt, sending officers diving for cover. Electro prepares to send his next bolt at the news van, but before he can, Hercules has crossed the plaza and pounds him with a tire-clad arm. There's a huge arc flash and the smell of ozone and Electro goes flying through one of the plate glass windows back into the bank.

    The (real) thugs still in the bank open up with their uzis on the Olympian.

    Also in the bank, Sleeper, first invisible, and then in the guise of Sue Storm, lowers himself down to the hostages. Working to free them, he sets off an explosive booby trap, though fortunately(?) he absorbs most of the blast, sparing the hostages.

    Mysterio, alerted by the explosion, spins about to see Sue Storm. This might present Kaine a fine opportunity, but it's at this time that Electro is thrown in through the window. He stands up, furious, and starts throwing lightning at the first unfamiliar person he sees - in this case, that's Kaine. "This place isn't gonna have two bricks left together when I'm done with it!"

    At this point, Loki's illusory Spider-Man shows up, drawing Mysterio's attention away from Sleeper. "Is there no peace from that meddling arachnid?" Smoke begins rapild filling the bank as Mysterio's smoke generators kick on.
