Synopsis
Pulled, canned, or boiled, no one fights villains quite like Spider-Ham. In his very own original short (or snort), watch him defeat his greatest foe, deliver sidesplitting puns and get sucked into another dimension! It can get weirder![1]
Plot
Spider-Ham is swinging through the city with a hot dog in hand and quipping to the audience, telling them that the hot dog is 100% beef, although he immediately tells them that he’s lying about that afterwards. Just as he’s about to take a bite, he is captured by Dr. Crawdaddy and taken into his evil lair. When he wakes up, Spider-Ham finds himself tied down to a table with a laser beam slowly moving towards him to kill him. After a brief back and forth with Crawdaddy, Spider-Ham is able to free himself and help Crawdaddy come up with a new supervillain nickname with a better animal pun in it, although this turns out to be a distraction that allows Spider-Ham to get away. He is chased by a furious Dr. Crawdaddy before being cornered and defeating Crawdaddy with his webs and hammer. As Spider-Ham attempts to leave, a tear in the Multiverse opens up, created by the Super-Collider. He is then sucked into the portal and transported to Earth-1610.
