An enraged Spider-Man dons a cloth version of his black suit and then confronts Kingpin in prison, mercilessly beating him within an inch of his life giving him a warning that if his aunt dies, Kingpin will as well and threatening the other inmates that he will come for them if they ever try to harm him or his family.
