Same story as Spider-Man: Homecoming, except Gwen Stacy is on the Decathlon team along with Harry Osborn. Gwen Stacy also had an internship with Tony Stark like Peter, but for the purposes of his company, rather than the Avengers (she doesn't know he's Spider-Man, but she knows Peter through the internship). It's similar to how Gwen Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man worked at Oscorp. Harry Osborn is Peter's best friend instead of Ned Leeds, and he doesn't know that he is Spider-Man. There is no "Guy in the Chair"-- Spider-Man does almost everything on his own without help. Ned Leeds, however, is still a character. Michelle Jones is still a character, but she is more of just an "acquaintance" to Peter rather than an actual friend (she is not nicknamed MJ-- Mary-Jane is also in this universe and is neighbors with Peter but she goes to a different school than him-- she plays a more prominent role in the later movies).
