High school freshman Peter Parker, accompanied by his best friend Harry Osborn and crush Gwen Stacy, attends a science demonstration on genetic alteration. However, Parker is bitten by a genetically-modified spider whilst attending. Gaining powers, Peter attempts to make a quick buck off of them by participating in a wrestling match offering $2,000 as a cash reward. However, he soon discovers the meaning that with great power comes great responsibility when his beloved Uncle Ben is killed by a man he could have easily stopped, and thus, dons the costume and persona of Spider-Man, fighting crime in New York City. Meanwhile, a low-level crime boss named Maxwell DIllon aka "Electro" and his lackey Flint Marko aka "Sandman" attempt to start a criminal empire using their own super powers. Electro attempts to recruit Spider-Man into his ring, but the wall-crawler refuses, instead opting to battle the villains for the fate of New York City.
