Out of the Frying Pan... is the thirty-sixth main mission in Marvel's Spider-Man. Spider-Man arrives on the scene where the Sable International truck was attacked and the Devil's Breath stolen, only to find Ryker's Island and the Raft have also been attacked. There, he encounters the Sinister Six.
Story[]
After Spider-Man arrives at the Sable International truck, Yuriko Watanabe meets him there via helicopter to reveal the situation is much worse, pointing to the Ryker's Island attack. Spider-Man hitches a ride with her and defeats many of the prisoners there, preventing them from stealing a chopper.
Spider-Man hitches a ride with Yuri to the Raft, and when they arrive, Electro appears and shoots their helicopter with a bolt of electricity. Spider-Man barely holds on. He grabs hold of Yuri and brings the helicopter into a somewhat controlled crash. Electro then uses his powers to open the cell blocks.
Once the prisoners are largely subdued, Spider-Man begins his pursuit of Electro outside. This is briefly interrupted by Vulture. Spider-Man chases Electro out on the roof, where he is then surrounded by Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, and Mister Negative. The fight is fierce, but they gain the upper hand. As Spider-Man crawls to the edge of the building, none other than Otto Octavius arrives, having taken on the mantle of Doctor Octopus. He warns Spider-Man not to interfere before throwing him over the edge.
The villains then disperse, having particular jobs to do that will erase any debt they owe to Doctor Octopus.
Walkthrough[]
Following a cutscene, as Spider-Man, players help in minimizing the damage at Ryker's, even stopping the prisoners from escaping in a helicopter. A lengthy battle occurs against freed prisoners. These are functionally identical to previous enemies fought, particularly Wilson Fisk's thugs, and some are armed with rocket launchers. Web Bombs are effective due to the enclosed spaces.
After defeating most around the prison, a few will arrive attacking a police car; these must be taken out to proceed. Prisoners then attempt to steal a chopper. Follow on-screen prompts to save it, and a cutscene leads to the next section. Inside the Raft, more prisoners are fought. Players must proceed through the Raft, defeating prisoners, with a few cutscenes along the way.
Eventually, Spider-Man catches up to and pursues Electro. Much of the pursuit is dependent upon players' ability to dodge Electro's attacks, especially when the chase goes up a long shaft. The lengthy chase around the Raft culminates in a cutscene ending the mission.
After the mission, several Prisoner Camps as well as Sable Outposts are available for Base Tokens, and crimes now include prisoner and Sable crimes. Additionally, as players progress through the streets, they need to be aware of snipers and pay attention to their Spider-Sense so they can dodge attacks from Sable and convicts around the city. Completing one of the bases or another task will unlock the next mission, "...Into the Fire".
