Desperately searching for any sign of his love Mary Jane, Pete encounters numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. convoys under siege. After rescuing the soldiers, he frantically demands to know if they have seen Luke Cage or Mary Jane. When the soldiers don't have the answer he seeks, Spider-man departs to continue his search elsewhere in the streets. Eventually finding the pair after a near automobile collision, Spider-man implores Mary Jane to think of her own safety especially given her broken arm. MJ rebukes Peter about still having the alien symbiote suit and demands he get rid of the black suit. All the while a mysterious black figure approaches through the shadows. Seeing this, Mary Jane begs Peter to flee, but to no avail. The black figure sends out tendrils that envelop Spider-man and drag him into the darkness.
Either way, The Gentleman was introduced into The AmazingSpider-Man films to help usher in the Sinister Six. Had the series lasted alittle longer we would have seen his plan come to fruition, but instead we werelargely given a background player that lurked in the shadows.
