Spiderman with the Skeleton Key in the Old Hotel

"Spins a web, any size. Catches thieves just like flies..."

Now just wait a second...Spiderman is on the lam and wanted for aggravated assault and a possible attempted robbery?!?  And he allegedly attacked the desk clerk with a one pound skeleton key?  Zoinks!!

It's hard to decipher if we are in a superhero alternate universe, reading the first chapter of a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys mystery, or if Mystery Inc will soon be rolling in with the Mystery Machine, looking to solve the Case of the Superhero Skeleton Key, with this weeks special guest star.  I'd vote for this being a Don Knotts episode, myself.

Or perhaps we're playing a summer fraternity prank/game of Clue?  Spiderman with the Skeleton Key in the old Hotel?  Perhaps this is only the beginning of a new crime ring in State College involving rogue superheroes?

Either way, if any members of either the Justice League or the Avengers shows up, we'll keep you posted.  In the meantime, I'd be checking all the abandoned warehouses around here...that's usually where all the scum and villiany happens with these sorts of stories.
