    The thugs' bullets bounce off of the Olympian as he approaches, and it's too much for them - the goons throw down their weapons as Hercules enters the bank, and flee right out behind him into the arms of the police.

    Meanwhile, Mysterio's cloud of smoke seems to swell out of his control to encompass the hostages as Sleeper manipulates it with his chemokinesis. The cover does not seem to incentivize the hostages to get moving though. If anything, they seem more confused. Perhaps it's the loss of vision, or perhaps Mysterio's smoke has a touch of hallucinogens mixed in.

    Kaine leaps into the cloud of smoke to dodge Electro's lightning. He aims for the shadowy figure of Mysterio as he dives through, and tackles him into the fountain in the center of the bank. But when he pulls the man out of the water, it's not Mysterio in his hands but one of the tellers from the bank.

    To Sleeper, it looks like Kaine tackled the man into the fountain deliberately. In any case, no one has much time to think things over, because as soon as Kaine emerges from the smoke cloud, Electro has another lightning bolt coming his way!
