" Chemistro !" - As Luke Cage is busy fighting Spider-Man (a story told in Amazing Spider-Man #123) a new villain appears in New York: Chemistro, who is trying to destroy the Mainstream Motor's offices, during which he injures employee Annabelle Crawford. Cage learns of the incident when Annabelle ends up in Noah's clinic, and her boss Horace Claymore who wants to hire Luke Cage to deal with Chemistro. Meanwhile, Chemistro returns to his home where he recounts the events that led to his career as a costumed criminal. And at the Daily Bugle office, Phil Fox arrives to try to sell J. Jonah Jameson on the information he has on Luke Cage being a con. However, having had just dealt with Cage personally (in the aforementioned Spider-Man story), the angry Jameson kicks Fox out of his office, not wanting to publish any stories that would give Cage publicity. Disappointed, Fox decides to use the information he knows some other way.
