Haunted by guilt and his uncle’s final words — "With great power comes great responsibility" — Peter embraces his role as the masked vigilante Spider-Man, protecting New York City with courage and compassion. Meanwhile, his best friend’s father, Norman Osborn, undergoes his own dangerous transformation into the unhinged Green Goblin, threatening Peter’s loved ones and the city itself.
