After the superhuman Civil War, the three Peter Parkers all have wounds. Peter 2 was best friends with Logan and Steve and Peter 3 respected Steve a lot more than any other Avenger. Peter 1 trusts Tony, in his brother's opinions, too much. That all has to be put aside when a massive break out happens at the raft, where Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, Otto Octavious, aka Doctor Octopus, Max Dillon, aka Electro, Curt Conners, aka Lizard, Harry Osborn, aka New Goblin, and Flint Marko, aka Sandman, are broken out of jail by a new villain. With their villains now all on the loose, Peter 2 tries to get his brothers to put aside their differences and stop them. Flint and Harry both lay, while Norman recruits a brand-new member to their little group in the vigilante Venom. Meanwhile Peter 1 takes more interest into finding out who broke them out and Peter 3 takes a great interest in his new workmate Eddie Brock, while MJ tries to convince Peter 2 to stop and raise Mayday with her.
