Silent as a living shadow, he glides through the night.
The Black Fox is on his final burglary, the one that will allow him to retire, but unfortunately, he has chosen the residence of the Red Ghost and his Super Apes. The Red Ghost compels the Fox to work with his Apes in carrying out the robbery of a jewelry store to fund his latest invention, the Cosmicizer. Spider-Man intervenes, follows the Apes home and blows up the Ghost's pet project. All but forgotten, the Black Fox merrily makes off with the jewels.
