Synopsis

The Beetle's new battlesuit gives him an advantage over Spider-Man when they fight, as does the well-meaning interference of the Gibbon. Later, Beetle challenges Spider-Man to a rematch, but it's the Gibbon who eventually delivers the knockout punch and gets all the credit for defeating the villain.
