After being snatched up by Vulture's talons and having a crazy prolonged mid-air battle, [[NoKillLikeOverkill Frank finally ends him by ramming his combat knife into his chest and throat numerous times]], resulting in both of them falling into the streets of New York with The Vulture dead and Frank's [[EyeScream left eye damaged]], some broken ribs and a leg.
