Collision Course

**Collision Course** is the thirty-second main mission in *Marvel's Spider-Man*. Spider-Man calls Yuriko Watanabe, letting her know that he is planning on visiting the Bowery to make sure Morgan Michaels is safe.

## Story

Peter Parker, after leaving the shelter, calls Yuriko Watanabe to inform her of his plans to check on Dr. Michaels. When she gives a warning that Silver Sable might shoot him on sight, he agrees to just "be in the neighborhood".

When he arrives, he cannot find Michaels. Meanwhile, Michaels, carrying vials of Devil's Breath, is escorted by Sable International, who tell him they are the "best in the world", something that gives him no reassurance. Thereafter, they are attacked by the Inner Demons. Michaels is kidnapped with his vial, and the Inner Demons escape with him and Mister Negative in an armored vehicle.

Spider-Man reaches Mister Negative's armored truck, which Sable fires upon, despite the danger. After fending off the Demons attacking, Spider-Man reaches Mister Negative, who uses his powers on him. There, he takes Peter Parker to a "negative zone" in which the bombing at City Hall is frozen in place. There, he taunts Spider-Man about the bombing, insinuating that Norman Osborn knew what was about to happen and ran. When Spider-Man refuses to join him, a fight begins in the negative zone.

After re-emerging from the negative world, Spider-Man gets free of Mister Negative and has to forcibly steer the armored vehicle away from pedestrians using his webbing. The truck crashes into a building, and after emerging from the rubble, he finds the Inner Demons have vanished with the Devil's Breath. Silver Sable and her team arrive to take Michaels to safety. Spider-Man briefly argues with Sable, but Michaels stops her when she pulls her gun on him, thanking Spider-Man, and going with Sable to brief Osborn.

## Walkthrough

Upon reaching the location of the mission, after the cutscene, players need to chase down the vehicle while dodging rockets. Demons must be fought throughout; those atop the truck can be defeated simply by knocking them off, while those in cars are defeated the same way car crimes are usually stopped. The chase leads to players underneath the vehicle as it is moving.

After hanging onto the vehicle and reaching the briefcase, Mister Negative uses his powers on Spider-Man. Players are taken to a negative zone reminiscent of the City Hall bombing. During this, players must continue to follow Mister Negative, who warps to different areas of the zone. After some dialogue, a mask appears; after web throwing it away, a battle begins.

Mister Negative summons wave after wave of "negative" enemies, supposed ghosts of those Spider-Man could not save. Once these are dealt with, players face Mister Negative; similar to other Inner Demons, players must make liberal use of dodge in order to avoid his blasts. Once Mister Negative assembles a mask of energy, players must break it apart to succeed in ending the fight. They need to do this by avoiding a whip enemy and by catching the blasts from the mask to hurl them back.

Following this, a cutscene commences, and a call with Yuri leads to the next mission, "The One That Got Away".
