The Living Brain! / Spider-Man Tackles The Torch!

"The Living Brain" - Forst Hills students are given the chance to see the Living Brain, a computer with incredible capacity to answer virtually any question. The students ask it Spider-Man's real identity, but its answer is encoded, giving Peter the chance to figure out how to preserve his identity overnight. Meanwhile, things come to a head between Peter and Flash, and they end up fighting. Pete easily wins, despite trying to lose and not give away his identity. A malfunction in the Living Brain (caused by two would be thieves) causes it to go on a very distracting rampage. Pete leaves the unconscious Flash in the locker room and goes after the Living Brain. A combination of luck and technical know-how help him shut the brain down, while dumb luck alone is enough to allow Flash to capture the robbers. Pete takes the opportunity to convince the others that Flash is Spider-Man.

"Spider-Man Tackles The Torch!" - Spider-Man tracks down the Human Torch at Doris Evans' house to give him a hard time. The two start fighting, and meet the rest of the F.F., who were happy to watch from the sidelines until Spider-Man picked a fight with them, too. The Invisible Girl succeeds in defusing the situation.
