Deadpool and Spider-Man are recovering at the Baxter Building from an assault by Hit-Monkey when Deadpool takes Spider-Man’s costume and sneaks out the bathroom window. Deadpool fakes Spider-Man’s death to draw Hit-Monkey out and is wildly successful as the deadly simian comes to the funeral. Unfortunately, the police seem much more worried about a machine gun toting mercenary than they are about a monkey in a suit. Spider-Man and Deadpool battle Hit-Monkey once again and things end in an explosive climax. Spider-Man gives Deadpool a lecture on being an angst-ridden hero.
