Ultimatum (#129–133) Published: February 2009 – July 2009 Creative Team: Bendis / Immonen Plot outline: Depicts the events that lead Spider-Man to Ultimatum including the return of Vulture and Spider-Woman. After Peter, MJ, Gwen, Kitty and Kong go for a night on the city, Aunt May is arrested, and taken into a police precinct, for questioning. The Ultimatum wave floods Manhattan, and millions die. While Kitty gets everyone out of the train, into safety, Spider-Man stumbles upon the Hulk. After this, Spider-Man and Hulk save some people from a burning building. Spider-Man sees Daredevil's fist coming out of some rubble and finds that Daredevil is dead. Hulk turns back into Banner (who knew Matt Murdock from the Hulk Murder trial in Ultimates 2) and believes that he has caused the enormous amount of damage to New York. While Spider-Man tries to calm him, he turns back into Hulk and attacks Spider-Man. Meanwhile, MJ, Gwen, Kong, and Kitty make it to the roof of a building and see the destruction. Angry and scared for Peter's life, MJ punches Kitty, deeming her to be responsible for sending Peter out to be Spider-Man, but Kitty responds that he was going to anyway. Exhausted from all that is going on, MJ pleads with Kitty to bring him back, which she agrees to do. During this, J. Jonah Jameson, Robbie Robertson, and Ben Urich survive the wave, with Jameson now shameful of having smeared Spider-Man's name with his newspaper after witnessing him trying to save lives during the attack, marking a change in him to make it up to Spider-Man by writing about what he'd seen. While trying to evade the Hulk, Spider-Man ends up outside of Dr. Strange's house to find that the magical seal to a portal that keeps monsters trapped has been broken, allowing for a swarm of monsters to pour out onto the streets. He is then plunged into a dream by Nightmare, but this stops when Hulk attacks Nightmare, repeatedly punching him. Hulk then causes a huge explosion which Spider-Man is close to. Helicopters chase Hulk away after he begins attacking Spider-Woman who arrives to investigate the explosion. Kitty shows up and helps Spider-Woman searches for Peter. Later, Kitty finds a torn up Spider-Man mask, but no body. She then brings it to Aunt May and MJ who are at Peter's house along with Gwen, Kong, and Mary Jane's mom.
