Mutant villain Mesmero has decided to go straight...by becoming a Broadway producer! But when critics pan Mesmero's lackluster (and all-around strange) show, this baddie-at-heart may resort to mind control. Mesmero not only wants the praise of critics, he wants to convince Spider-Man to star in his next death-defying production!
