Obsessed with power and not wanting to resort to an ordinary life, Hobie tried stealing from Mary Jane when he saw her and Peter finishing inspecting their new apartment, but Spider-Man stopped him shortly afterwards. Hobie was taken to prison where he saved Richard Fisk's life, resulting in the Kingpin freeing him and granting him the Prowler suit in return. As the Prowler, Hobie went after Iceberg and managed to take over his gang, but the suit then started short-circuiting. Kingpin contacted Hobie and revealed that Hobie wouldn't be able to remove the suit, and that he'd have to work for him or else the suit would repeatedly jolt him.

 The Lizard King

First Aired: July 26th, 1997

Synopsis: After revealing his identity to Mary Jane last episode, Peter asks her to marry him, using a spider-tracer as an improvised ring, and she agrees.

Connors agrees, but the three of them are then attacked by lizard-people, who manage to kidnap Connors and Mary Jane. Peter follows them into the sewers using the signal from the spider-tracer he gave Mary Jane, while the lizard-people reveal that they used to be ordinary reptiles in the sewers until they drank a mysterious liquid, which Connors thinks is part of a failed experiment he poured down the sink. Connors semi-transforms into the Lizard and fights the lizard-people, giving Mary Jane the opportunity to escape. Spider-Man finds her and sends her back to the street, but she doesn't plan on just siting around and waiting for him to come back.
