As Peter investigates, the mysterious impostor begins manipulating his personal life and even disguising himself ( Betty Brant , even Aunt May )as people Peter knows, causing Peter to question his own sanity. Meanwhile, a corrupt anti-vigilante task force begins hunting the real Spider-Man.
Forced back into the suit, Peter reluctantly joins forces with street-level heroes such as Daredevil ... But after losing his close ones . who... he once considered family, Peter refuses their offer to become a permanent member.
Eventually, Peter tracks the impostor to an abandoned building and unmasks him as **Dmitri Smerdyakov—*. Blaming Spider-Man for his downfall, Dmitri has been using stolen government technology and identity-altering masks to commit crimes and frame the hero.
But when Dmitri attempts to use a matter-altering weapon against Spider-Man, Peter turns the device against him, leaving the Chameleon permanently altering him ....
For Peter, what began as a *Brand New Day* has become an **April Fool’s Day**.
