One year after the multiverse crisis, 19-year-old Peter Parker has retired as Spider-Man. Now a Horizon University freshman, he struggles to keep up with classes and long shifts at the Daily Bugle, living alone after Aunt May’s death. Distant from Gwen Stacy and growing closer to Liz Allen and Flash Thompson, Peter tries to leave heroics behind—until a mysterious armored vigilante, Iron-Spider, emerges in New York. Unbeknownst to him, it’s Harry Osborn, now Oscorp’s CEO and tormented by guilt. After failing to stop a killer known as the Beetle, Harry abandons his father’s tech and builds a suit of his own. His victory over Beetle draws headlines—sparking rumors of Spider-Man’s return. Suspicious, Peter returns to Midtown. A new threat arrives: a terrifying new Goblin. Peter suits up in a homemade Scarlet-Spider costume. When he and Iron-Spider meet on a rooftop, Peter demands to know who’s behind the mask. Harry recognizes Peter instantly—but before they can speak, the Goblin attacks. After the fight, Peter explodes at Harry—calling him reckless, selfish, and unworthy of the spider emblem. He tells Harry to destroy the suit and quit pretending to be a hero. Shaken, Harry watches Peter storm off. Later, Peter defeats the new Goblin—Roderick Kingsley—who reveals he’s just a pawn of the Kingpin. But the truth is worse. Harry is captured by Otto Octavius and the real Kingpin—Tombstone—who offer him one chance: help them kill Spider-Man. Harry, heartbroken and furious, says yes.
