...Perlmutter, who had bought control of the distressed outfit the previous year, hired as CEO Peter Cuneo, who had turned around such companies as Remington, Clairol and Black & Decker. Under the duo's guidance, Marvel slowly transformed itself into a conservative but lucrative licensing business. "I always tell people that when you come out of bankruptcy, it's like chemotherapy. You may be cured of cancer, but you're still very weak," says Cuneo, now a Marvel vice chairman. "But then along came Spider...

Given a choice between two competing experts, the jury played it safe. Who wants to be responsible for loosing a madman? Yoder repeatedly faced this conundrum in court--convincing jurors he was sane from inside an asylum. The state had a strong case: jurors heard about Yoder's battery of women.
