A stormtrooper remembers a young woman on the planet Lurr, and he remembers how she died at his hands. The wind rises to drown his screams. The shadows rise to drown his soul. Whether your sins are great or whether they are trivial, when the eyes of Clat the Shamer are upon you, your guilt will be the same- unbearable.

Ellis describes the creation of Simon Spector as a cross between Doc Savage, The Shadow, and The Spider. "These were the guys who didn't screw around. And did they turn the bad guys over to the cops? Did they hell. They shredded the bad guys with hails of bullets, often from machine pistols they designed themselves to kill the bad guys more quickly and more messily. At best they abducted the bad guys and performed back room brain surgery on them to make them better citizens. And then they'd go home to play the violin badly, shag their secret mistresses and, in Doc Savage's case, play with a little box of vials that even as a kid I was convinced contained drugs of some kind. For those of us who loved the pulp heroes, but thought that back then things were a little too coy and way too white, I give you Simon Spector: superhuman detective adventurer who is also, frankly, here to take drugs and kill people."

The person then escapes, all without having said a single word, and so Spider-Man runs after him. However, whilst chasing him, Spider-Man slips on a patch of ice on the ground, which is surprising considering that it's 60 degree weather...
