Major Story Arc

Years later, Shiffman found himself working for Mysterio, who promised to resurrect Shiffman’s dead wife if he helped him destroy Spider-Man. Much to his disappointment, he found that Mysterio had lied, and that it was all a ruse; an illusion. Mysterio couldn’t bring back Shiffman’s wife, and Maxie realized the wrong he had committed against his former client. He preferred the harsh reality of losing his wife than living a lie.
