Previously on Spider-Man we saw Peter face the repercussions of being bonded to the symbiote as well as Flint and Harry finally going out to face Spider-Man. Now on Spider-Man we see Tombstone and J. Jonah Jameson sitting in Tombstone's office about the Scorpion project. Jameson tries to make it clear that Scorpion's only job is to stop Spider-Man and to find out his identity. Tombstone tells Jameson that it will be quick. The two walk over to a lab where they see Mac Gargan in a chemical chamber. Jameson tells Tombstone he is starting to have second thoughts but Tombstone lets Jameson know that backing out isn't an option unless he wants to die. They bring Mac out onto a table where Tombstone has a doctor come in and check if Mac is okay to continue the transformation process. The doctor whose name is Miles Warren tells them that he will only need one more hour in the chamber and he will be ready for the armor that Tombstone's engineer Adrian Toomes built. After an hour they bring Mac out of the chamber and let him wash up before bringing him to the armory. They put him in a huge green and black suit made of titanium and tell him that he is the new and better Spider-Man.
