that will draw electrical energy into one's body. At first, the man was fine until the electricity going through his body was driving him mad. He escaped by shutting down the power to Project PEGASUS. The man disappeared into one of the upstate rivers which shorted him out. Its blackened body was discovered and fished out by a ferry crewman and started to generate electrical energy which killed the crewman. It then rose up and drained the energy out of the dock. A man who witnessed this dubbed him the Incandescent Man and it made its way to Chelsea in lower Manhattan where it drained all of its electrical energy and proceeded toward town square. People soon started to run by Sam Guthrie (AKA Cannonball
) who asked one of the people what is happening. Upon learning that the Incandescent Man is approaching Time Square, Cannonball took off towards the Incandescent Man. Cannonball saved two policemen by flying into the electrical bolts. One of the deflected electrical bolts hit a fire hydrant, causing the Incandescent Man to shrink in size upon being hit by water. Spider-Man
was secretly taking photos at the time. He then stepped in and webbed up Incandescent Man's face buying Spider-Man enough time to pull Cannonball away while it was still being hit with water. Spider-Man and Cannonball wondered how they can stop it. A helicopter arrived at the scene and dropped a net onto the Incandescent Man. It soon melted through the nets and Cannonball knocked the Incandescent Man's body into the Hudson River where it shorted out. Once Spider-Man and the helicopter got to the ground, its pilot explained about how Incandescent Man came to be. She also remarked that Cannonball will never find Incandescent Man's body since she has been tracking Incandescent Man for months. The pilot revealed herself to be the Incandescent Man's twin sister and will continue to track Incandescent Man in hopes that she will use its powers to take revenge on Project: PEGASUS for what they done to him.
