- Roger Harrington to Bruce Banner

The fall was averted by Spider-Man, who took Harrington and the other students to safety at the top at the Monument. Harrington thanked Spider-Man as he fell in the shaft when his web string broke.

Back to Midtown
"As you know, we made it out alive. And that's the important thing. I couldn't bear to lose a student on a school trip. Not again."

Harrington returned his students to Midtown School of Science and Technology. He was interviewed by some students for the School's TV channel and declared that he was relieved as he would not bear losing a student on a school trip once again.

New Captain
Harrington congratulated his Decathlon Team for their victory in the nationals. With Liz Toomes leaving Midtown School of Science and Technology following her father's arrest, Harrington appointed Michelle Jones as the new captain of the Academic Decathlon Team.

Personality
