The DVD tie-in comic also includes the cover of 'The Commuter Cometh!' (Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #267, August 1985), which might have been a visual influence on the train fight.The cover of 'The Molten Man Breaks Out!' (Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #133, June 1974) depicts Spider-Man fighting Molten Man atop a speeding train (which doesn't actually happen in the story), similar to the Doc Ock fight in the movie. The inspiration for the train fight was likely the aforementioned Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #79, which features a scene where Spider-Man and Doc Ock fight on a railway track. The moment in the extended cut of the film where Doc Ock holds Spider-Man in front of an oncoming train is adapted directly from this story.The train fight also has parallels with the previously mentioned sequence in 'Unmasked by Doctor Octopus!' where Spider-Man goes to save Betty from Octavius. In both stories, their fight ends with Spider-Man losing to Octavius and being unmasked. Sam Raimi confirmed this issue was a major influence on the film, so these similarities are almost certainly deliberate.Octavius delivers the unconscious Spider-Man to Harry, who finally learns that Peter is the man he blames for his father's death. Harry discovered Peter was Spider-Man in the comics in 'Danger is a Man Named... Tarantula' (Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #134, July 1974) after he saw him stocking up on web fluid in their apartment.
