Why would they stick around? They just failed to take out all their criminal rivals (but might get them locked up by the police) and technically took part in blowing up a theater... With witnesses. All the while being hunted by two costumed men obsessed with violently fisting them.

You have jetpacks, just leave!

Or maybe they only had enough fuel to carry the Kingpin a block or so away.

We have long since passed the point where it's worth singling out any specific detail of this comic as nonsensical. Newspaper Spider-Man's absurdity is fractal.

Yeah I was kinda thinking that jetpacks that size probably would only go for like 10 seconds anyway. My guess is that after being diced by helicopter blades and reassembled that the jetpacks just don't function properly.

Fisk is pissed because he wanted to leave, but Claw is such a fan of MJ that he insisted they stay and gently caress up Spider-Man for ruining her theater.

Spidey, those are the men you're chasing. You jumped on a helicopter to pursue them. Landing next to them advances your agenda. Landing next to them is a stroke of luck. You dense fucker.

I can't get over Kingpin and Claw forking out the extra money for jetpacks that only carried them like half a block.

What, did you expect them to only buy parachutes which would have caused them to drift gracefully to the ground?

Kingpin cannot afford to shell out for those cool jetpacks Shield has I guess.

I mean he couldn't even afford tickets to a theater visit, and that place was abandoned.

If Fisk brings, like, three of his fat goons then Spidey won't stand a chance. Spidey and IF's combined intellect might be enough to figure out that pressing both sticks will trigger the web blossom, tho.

I think Golden Claw has already forgotten why he was fleeing, which is that these two each demonstrated the ability to rip through metal with their bare hands, literally punching his helicopter out of the sky.

Golden Claw must be so goddamn drunk to pick this fight. Maybe that's why Fisk was driving.

No wonder they call him the Kingpin, his hands (or "pins" probably via some 1950s slang I've never heard before that dates as far back as unironically saying "tariff") are considerably larger than his head.
