After defeating Scorpion, Spider-Man is starting to fit into this superhero life, while his life as Peter Parker begins to crumble more and more.
On the other side of NY, the Fantastic Four have, for the first time in a long time, a quiet moment for family. Nothing better for Ben than to bring his new girlfriend to meet everyone.
Alicia ends up visiting the Baxter Building on the same day that Peter's group is going to visit the place. However, everything goes wrong when an attack by Boomerang forces Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four to work together.
After being subdued, the man can't explain why he did what he did; it was as if another person was in control of his body, making the whole situation even stranger. Both the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, whose help was dismissed by the family of heroes, decide to investigate, discovering a series of similar situations occurring around the city in the last week.
Behind all of this lies the figure of the Puppet Master, a man capable of controlling people like puppets using a special type of clay. While Reed Richards tries to understand the origin of the villain's power, Ben Grimm finds himself emotionally torn upon discovering that the enemy is Alicia's stepfather. When the Fantastic Four end up as puppets in his hands, it's up to Spider-Man to find a way to confront them alone and save them.
