The episode opens as Peter and Hammerhead talk about how Hammerhead escaped prison. He tells Peter that Norman and Fisk betrayed him and now he wants to be the Kingpin. Peter tells him that Fisk is missing and it is only Norman now. Just then the ground starts shaking and Peter's spider-sense goes off. The two run outside to see a huge beam of light in the sky. We cut to Harry as he is talking to Otto about the beam. We cut to Tombstone, Gustav, and Adrian as they sit down and wait for whatever Norman has been planning to come to pass. We cut to Norman just then Peter and Hammerhead rush in and ask Norman what he is doing. Norman tells them that he isn't exactly their Norman. He tells them that Norman Osborn did die and is currently in a graveyard somewhere. He tells them that he is from another universe and has been trapped here after the universe started temporarily converging and now has to use the collider to get back. Peter asks why he has been doing all of this and Norman tells him the villains never win and so he had to make sure the heroes have lost before him. Peter gets a pain in his chest and falls down as the collider activates and creates a portal. Peter's life slowly fades as the poison catches up with him. Just then Otto and Harry show up but it is too late and Spider-Man is dead. The portal starts to consume everything and Peter and Harry are brought into the portal with Norman. The portal closes and Otto and Hammerhead are left speechless.
