Unfortunately, he falls under the hypnotic spell of the Beyonder's cosmic jheri curls and ends up joining the fun. When Spider-Man attacks the partying pair, the black symbiotic suit he is wearing takes DP's new hairdo as its host, making 'Pool ultra-powerful (and leaving poor Petey completely naked).
