Spider-Man defeats Morlun
With the help of his late ally Ezekiel, Spider-Man managed to briefly escape with a sample of Morlun's blood, which he discovered contained the DNA of every genus in the animal kingdom. Realizing that Morlun's DNA was pure, Spider-Man found a weakness he could exploit. Spider-Man breaks into the nuclear power plant so that he could inject himself with a dose of radiation and become a bait for the Inheritor. Morlun and his Renfield-like servant Dex arrive at the nuclear power plant where they find Spider-Man lying on the floor. As Morlun prepares to absorb Spider-Man, and does so, only to stop in the middle, finding that he has absorbed much more radiation than he could handle. Since Morlun is burnt by the radiation, Spider-Man gains his advantage by beating him to the pulp. The Inheritor then falls to the ground, losing life and returning to his cellular state. Morlun surrenders, but Spider-Man knows he cannot let Morlun live, or Morlun would just get his power back and attack him again. Morlun's assistant, Dex, comes in, telling Morlun that he quits, and then shoots Morlun in the chest. Morlun falls to the ground, dying, and then starts to turn into dust. Dex runs away. Spider-Man chases him, and then catches him. Dex tells Spider-Man that Morlun hurt him a lot. Spider-Man lets him go, and swings away.
