| - The Spider-Initiative walk through Latveria in civillian duds. They pass by an old woman who attempts to spit on Peter's shoe, but his spider-sense kicks in and he pulls away in time. When he asks her what her problem is, she rants about how Latveria was supposed to be 'pure' and how Doom's rule was supposed to fix that. She walks away before they can retaliate, encouraging them to strike Doom sooner in a plot yet to be revealed to viewers. A few hours later, they have geared up. Peter is in an outfit resembling that from the Secret War comic, and the other two are in outfits similar. They are climbing the mountain that Castle Doom stands on. At the same time, Doctor Octopus is climbing up the front entrance, which they use as a perfect opportunity to enter. While the guards are securing his tentacles for safety, they climb over the wall and web up a patrolling guard. Scaling the wall, they take out a security camera and stop outside Doom's window. There, they watch Doctor Octopus present a document to Doom. The perspective changes and we see this is showing that a distant planet has lost a chunk of land, which was propelled towards the center of the galaxy. The Initiative can't hear the rest of their conversation, and as Octopus leaves, they smash through the window, beginning battle with Doom. They are forced to flee as Doombots swarm in, but they are caught on the way out. Doom asks for an explanation and they reveal that S.H.I.E.L.D sent them to analyse Doom's combat skills. He laughs at them, and tells them to send a message - fight him themselves and see. With that, he has the bots escort them out. The camera pans up to space, to a Skrull ship flying overhead. The captain speaks in an alien tongue, which is subtitled. He comments that their homeworld has lost a chunk of it's own land. Then, a laser blast hits the side of the ship, and one of his crew members reveal that the Kree are attacking.
