==Story==
An agent of the High Evolutionary named Git steals a canister of deadly mutagen from Sir Ram's laboratory. Unfortunately, the canister has a failsafe that could potentially detonate a nuclear charge within a few hours away from the laboratory. The canister's contents, a dangerous mutagen, would be obliterated in such an explosion, thus saving the planet Counter-Earth from world-wide infection. Unfortunately, such an explosion would blow up the entire city of New York. Git is unaware that the cartridge contains nuclear explosives.

It is revealed though flashbacks that Git Hoskins used to be a normal boy, until he was abducted by Sir Ram, a member of the High Evolutionary. Sir Ram made Git his guinea pig for an experiment to mutate humans into mummy-esque creatures. This explains Git's anger towards Sir Ram, and the theft of the canister.
 
 
Back in the present, Git is a blonde, red-coated outcast, who is covered in bandages like a mummy and has super-powers. Git no longer has the ability to speak, but he can wrap his bandages around things and can flatten himself to fit into narrow passages.
 
 
The High Evolutionary and the Bestial Knights of Wundagore each try and find Git with the canister before the other team does. The Revolutionary realizes that they are the only ones who will be able to find Git in time, and the Knights recognize that they are the only ones capable of deactivating the bomb. Both teams call a truce, and reluctantly team up to find Git before the canister explodes and kills everyone.
 
 
Meanwhile, a super-strong stranger stalks Naoko and her son Shayne from the shadows.
 
 
Carnage and Venom take the canister away from Git, and remain in possession of the bomb which everybody was searching for.

Stu of Marvel Animation Age was intrigued by the episode as it took the time to go into the backstory of one of the characters. He felt Git's appearance and mute personality made him the one he most wanted to see explored. He did like how it fleshed the character out, feeling sorry for him. He did like the flashbacks of Git and how it made the Bestials evil rather than just animals with a high and mighty attitude. However, he was growing frustrated with the Bestials, especially Sir Ram's dialogue. He felt they were not interesting and too strange for Spider-Man. "''Overall though, nothing seems to be standing out in the episodes. There's no oomph or spark to any of it. Perhaps the very premises of the series is too far away from the Spider-Man I know and love, but I'm really not feeling any of this show so far. It never quite reaches a good level. It's either terrible, simply bad or just watchable. There's still time to improve, but I don't think the show has it in it.''"
