Previously on Spider-Man we saw Peter Parker travel to Brooklyn to help officer Jefferson Davis stop Electro and the Prowler. Now on Spider-Man the episode opens with Dmitri Smerdyakov and Alex Bateman sitting in an office building as a man named Joseph Lorenzini enters the room and tells them the Big Man is ready to speak with them. The Big Man is a figure who up until this point could have been anyone. Norman Osborn, Tombstone, and Gustav all had the potential to be this ultimate crime boss but as you might expect they aren't. Dmitri enters the Big Man's room first and sits down as Alex stands in the back. As a large chair turns around Dmitri tries to explain why Flint Marco and Harry Osborn didn't defeat Spider-Man. The chair fully turns around to reveal Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin who asks Dmitri if he has anyone who has a chance of beating Spider-Man and Dmitri tells him his cousin in coming to New York in a couple days and could have a very good chance. Wilson asks what the man's powers are but Dmitri tells him there are no powers just the hunt.
