After being jobless for two weeks, Peter becomes morbidly obese. On a "walk" on the docks, he is confused with Mercury by Tom Tucker when his son Jake asks him what's "that", and he resolves to lose weight and become a fisherman. He loses the weight without explanation. Joe takes Peter to a police seized-property auction, where Peter buys a boat for $50,000. He names the boat "S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk Put Together".
