As Spider-Man faces off against the Sinister Six, consisting of Mysterio, Sandman, Vulture, Hobgoblin, Electro, and Doctor Octopus, he snares one of Mysterio's gauntlets with a webline and suggests they spice things up with a "Sinister Sixty-Nine". Tapping a button, Spider-Man conjures holograms of sixty-nine of his past and present enemies before suggesting they keep this date intimate with just one-on-one--revealing the Sinister Six to have been hard-light holograms. Trouncing Mysterio, Spider-Man webs him up for the police only for Quentin Beck to gleefully reveal one of the Hobgoblin's razor-bats tore open the seat of Spider-Man's costume's pants. As the onlookers and even the NYPD officers burst into hysterical laughter, Mysterio claims the victory as his. Mortified, Spider-Man attempts to web-swing away only for the movement to cause his pants to tear even more. Worried that his "web slinger" will be on display if this keeps up, Spider-Man visits the Sanctum Sanctorum to see if Doctor Strange can help. Spider-Man finds him in the middle of patching a tear in the fabric of space-time created by Umar. Doctor Strange warns Peter that he'll contract pink-eye if he doesn't wash his mask but refuses to help with his wardrobe malfunction, asking why he doesn't just make a costume out of his silk. Spider-Man laments that his silk dissolves in one hour and that it bunches up to make it look like he's wearing a fanny pack. Deadpool abruptly pokes his head through the portal and breaks the fourth wall only for Doctor Strange to irritably close it and suggest Peter seek the scientific expertise of the Fantastic Four. Arriving at the Baxter Building, Spider-Man is shocked to see Human Torch fighting the Thing and Mister Fantastic under attack from the Invisible Woman. As he wonders what's going on, he spots Psycho-Man triumphantly gloating. Web-yanking Psycho-Man's mind-control panel away, Spider-Man turns it off. As Johnny and Ben gang up on Psycho-Man and Sue fixes the broken windows, Reed thanks Spider-Man and asks why he decided to pay a visit. Spider-Man reveals his wardrobe malfunction--Sue sneaking a peek over her shoulder--and Reed agrees to supply him with a costume made of Unstable Molecules--warning him that they're not indestructible. Some time later, Spider-Man fights Carnage, who slashes him with the sanguine symbiote's tendrils. Spider-Man is worried about another wardrobe malfunction, but to his delight and Carnage's confusion his costume is undamaged and he is unharmed. The entire narrative is then revealed to be an advertisement for unstable molecules put together by Reed Richards, who breaks the fourth wall to shill them.
