Showdown with Vulture[]
Vulture attempts to destroy Spider-Man
In 2016, the cargo plane transporting Avengers’ weaponry was sabotaged by the Vulture and crashed landed at the shore of Coney Island. Vulture then engaged in a fight with Spider-Man, only sparing his life to carry off a crate of miniaturized Arc Reactors. However, due to the unstable nature of the alien power core when exposed to radiation from the Arc Reactors, Vulture's exo-suit wings exploded, although Spider-Man pulled him out of the blaze and debris, saving his life.
Spider-Man then webbed up Vulture and the surviving cargo and left a note for the authorities to find, apologizing for the destruction of the plane. When Happy Hogan and Damage Control arrived to evaluate the mess and take Vulture into custody, Spider-Man observed them in secret from the top of the Cyclone roller coaster.[4] The Daily Bugle believed Spider-Man to be responsible for the fight, criticizing the New York City Police Department for not agreeing.[5]
