by Steve Ditko, 1964

Arguing about the The Living Brain, Flash shoves Parker causing his glasses to break. As the two continue to bicker through the class, Professor Warren tells the pair to settle their dispute in the boxing ring. Peter's enhanced reflexes keeps him out of Flash's reach in the ring while a fraction of this strength is enough to knock Flash out of the ring. However, a second blow completely KO's Flash when he's momentarily distracted by a call for help. Later Peter starts a rumor that Flash is really Spider-Man which convinces many of Flash's classmates that he threw the fight against Parker.
