Spider-Woman: Pyramids of Terror

[Season 1 – Episode 1]

    Original Airdate: Saturday September 22, 1979

A massive pyramid rises from the ground in Egypt, creating a sandstorm and provoking a panic amongst the citizens of Cairo. A little kid is blown away by the winds, but is saved in time by Spider-Man, who afterwards goes to the pyramid to investigate the strange occurrence.

Once inside the pyramid, Spider-Man is attacked and captured by a gigantic mummy.

Thousands of miles away, in a King Kultut museum exhibit, Jessica Drew and Jeff Hunt prepare a piece for Justice Magazine, when Jessica's spider-sense warns her of trouble.  Suddenly, one of the mummies in the exhibit comes to life and attacks the journalists. Jessica pretends to run away, only to transform into Spider-Woman!

The Dark Angel uses her venom blasts to stop the menacing mummy, and the crisis is soon over. Back at the Justice Magazine, Jessica contacts Chief Cooper after her nephew Billy comes with news that wild mummy sightings are being reported all over the country. The same thing is happening around the world, and there are rumors that Spider-Man has been captured by one of the creatures.

Jessica, Jeff, and Billy make it to Egypt, but the place where they land is completely deserted after everyone has fled. Jessica's spider-sense warns her again of impending danger, so she splits from the group to transform into Spider-Woman.

In the meantime, Spider-Man's captor reveals he's part of an alien race that landed on Earth thousands of years ago, and had been dormant until the right time came for an attack. Soon, the web crawler is joined by Jeff and Billy, who are captured when they wander into the new pyramid.

Spider-Woman enters the pyramid where she comes face to face with the alien mummy, who traps her in a hidden chamber.  Soon, the walls start to close, threatening with ending the life of the Dark Angel.

While hundreds of mummies prepare a coordinated attack on board their flying pyramids, Spider-Woman frees herself from the chamber by communicating telepathically with sand spiders that chew through the limestone walls. After rescuing Jeff and Billy, the heroine tries to team-up with Spider-Man, but he leaves quickly to take matters into his own hands

.The invading fleet has arrived in London, and starts to convert the British people into mummies. Spider-Man tries to stop the main pyramid, but is unsuccessful, and is actually starting to change into a mummy.  Spider-Woman comes to the rescue and saves Spidey at the last minute.

The two heroes finally team-up, and using spider-webs change the shape of the pyramids into cubes, which completely nullifies the aliens' powers.  The fleet has to abort their mission and abandon Earth. Everyone in London returns to normal, and the Spider-heroes promise to work together again in the future.
