Here's a nice urban-creepiness fan-fic involving two very dissimilar nemeses of the webbed-wonder Spider-Man (Marvel Comics), Hobgoblin and Video-Man.
====
Peter Parker had successfully made New York City safer for its residents, since his vigilante work as the wondrous masked web-soaring Spider-Man. Peter's spider-mutation gave him incredible powers, and he wanted to use his strength to help other people but was now seriously considering retiring from crime-fighting altogether. However, Peter was also studying the nasty problems associated with eerie salmonella outbreaks (from poorly-distributed poultry) at Norman Osborn's Oscorp research company.
Two months later, Peter got a call from his boss at the Daily Bugle who urged their photojournalist to pursue a story about a strange mutant super-villain named Roderick Kingsley (fashion designer) transformed into a jet-gliding and pumpkin-bomb throwing creature calling himself the Hobgoblin and a bizarre electric dimension Frankenstein creation called Video-Man who commanded energy beams at his finger-tips. Hobgoblin and Video-Man were having a 'tussle' in Central Park, and Peter told his boss he would pursue the lead and then got into his Spider-Man outfit and soared to Central Park.
When Spider-Man arrived in Central Park, he noticed Video-Man shooting energy at Hobgoblin who was returning fire with pumpkin-bombs. Hobgoblin was soaring rings around Video-Man's electric-body, and the electrical creature fended off blows with energy beams which caught the pumpkin-bombs in mid-air. Spider-Man soared in and took Hobgoblin out of the equation first with some carefully-placed cobweb shots in Hobgoblin's power-controlled jet glider. He then made a giant cobweb wall in front of Video-Man's eyes and the freak couldn't see through it well enough to aim at him. He then opened the fire-hydrant near them and drowned Video-Man in a sea of electrified water.
Peter Parker took photographs of the entire event with his well-placed automatically-shooting advanced camera. He delivered the photos to his delighted boss who congratulated Peter for being the first to photograph the elusive Spider-Man and that he had at least confirmed that Peter was not Spider-Man (Peter's boss didn't know of the special advancements made in recent models of Nikon cameras fitted with automatic-shooting duration capability). Peter passed them off and then offered to write an editorial to accompany the photos, and his boss granted him the assignment.
Peter wrote in the Bugle:
"The engagement between the mutants Hobgoblin and Video-Man in NYC's already-troubled Central Park has led to the incarceration and study sentence at Oscorp and the unfortunate disintegration of the unrepentant multi-phasic creature Video-Man, suggesting that Spider-Man is at least happy."
