"Dirty Business"[]
Laddio was a sex slave for Tek Knight, where he was kept in solitary in the secret Tek Cave, where he was tortured by Tek Knight. When Hughie comes in disguised as Webweaver, he tries to warn Hughie by screaming but he can’t because he has a gag on. Tek Knight reveals Laddio was his former side-kick, but due to lying to him in the past, Tek Knight has kept Laddio hostage inside the Tek Cave. After breaking free from his chains, he helps Kimiko, Starlight and Hughie find a way to torture Tek Knight. They get into his bank accounts by using the eye recognition and give away about 205 million dollars to foundations that Tek Knight does not like so he can spill out important information. Laddio stayed behind as Elijah strangled Tek Knight to death. As Hughie, Kimiko and Annie left, Hughie gave Laddio the laptop with Tek Knight’s bank accounts and thanked him.
