The Pied Piper of New York Town

First Aired: October 24th, 1981

Synopsis: At Mysterio's nightclub disco hour show, there's an advertisement saying that Spider-Man will appear. Spider-Man does show up, suspecting a trap, and is proven correct when Mysterio activates hypnotic music which lets him get the attendees to attack Spider-Man. Spider-Man escapes, but the next day at university Mysterio activates the same music. As Peter Parker, he goes along with the crowd and pretends to be hypnotised, but has to switch to Spider-Man to save a similarly-hypnotised J. Jonah Jameson from falling off a building. Mysterio commands his hypnotised army to rob a bank, and when he reveals that he has music which lets him hypnotise Spider-Man too, Spider-Man is locked up in the bank's vault.
