Something is Screwy is the fifth main mission in "The Heist" downloadable content for Marvel's Spider-Man. Screwball calls Spider-Man to let him know she is out of jail and putting on a show in Midtown.

Completion of this mission unlocks Screwball Challenges around the city, which can earn players Challenge Tokens.

Story[]

After Spider-Man calls Mary Jane Watson about Black Cat stealing a data drive, Screwball calls him to tell him she is out of jail and is putting on a show in Midtown with the help of her fans (former convicts). Once Spider-Man defeats them, she infomrs him he will be the main star of her reality show. He declines, but she responds that her fans will hurt people around the city if he does, giving him no choice.

Walkthrough[]

After heading to the location on the waypoint marker, a number of inmates are present. These are mostly standard enemies and there is the option to either use stealth or combat. In combat, Web Bombs and the Suspension Matrix are effective as is using the Concussive Blast to simply push them off buildings, and for stealth, using the yankable objects is helpful.

Once all are taken out, investigate the projector to lead to a short cutscene. The Screwball Challenges are then available all around the city for tokens. These are very similar to Taskmaster Challenges with new additions. The challenge here is the first of these new types: the EMP Challenge, which requires Spider-Man to follow a specific trail and use Web Shooters to disable them before moving to the next one on the trail, and do so quickly. In these challenges, photobombs are present on the way: you must navigate through (or in some challenges, defeat enemies in) these photobombs and then press L1 when the gauge is full for added points, necessary for the top scores.

After the mission ends, and after completing one citywide task (possibly the challenge here at the end of this mission), you can continue the main story when Mary Jane Watson calls leading to the next, "Trail of the Cat".
