From the bathysphere, Percy emerged and into the station of Fort Frolic. It should’ve been easy to get to the station that would’ve brought him to Hephaestus. Theo and M.J. were supposed to meet him.

But no one was there. Half convinced he was abandoned (that or something far worse happened), he moved forward towards the next bathysphere, the Rose’s voice still crackling through his radio.

“Parker, have you seen Watson or that Theo kid? I lost contact with them as soon as they—“

Her voice is interrupted, fading away as the station is swallowed in darkness and the empty bathysphere to Hephaestus sinks into the waters before Percy could even think of reaching it.

Ethereal purple lights flock on and masquerade masks hanging above become apparent in its glow. Stage curtains are shrouded over the station walls. Strange figures of dancers frozen in place emerged, some suspended from the ceiling on strings and others rising from the waters that lined the station. From the intercoms, a somber yet beautiful piano piece played as a new voice comes forth from Percy’s radio. A voice that Percy could only guess at who it was, from M.J.’s accounts..

“Ah, that’s better,” the voice began, “Rose, Osborn, Rose, Osborn.. It is about time that you could get something decent on the radio.. The artist has a duty to seduce the ear and delight the spirit. So say goodbye to the blowhards you knew and hello to an evening with Quinten Beck.”

Percy grimaced at the thought of dealing with more madmen of Rapture.. but whether he wanted to or not, he had little choice but to confront Beck. If for no other reason than to find a way to move forward.

With or without Theo or M.J..

OOC:

E-1959 has an art style that resembles the graphics and art that is found in the Bioshock series, specifically the remastered versions of Bioshock 1+2. For those unfamiliar with it, the style is in 3D and while most things are rendered somewhat realistically, there is an element of stylization that is present in the characters, specifically there eyes that are a big bigger/more expressive than a fully realistic style would be. Though the colors are a bit grungy (especially in more decrepit locations), it’s not without its more bright, saturated colors that give otherwise deteriorating, horrific places a sense of intrigue to them. Though the “graphics” of this universe are kinda old/clunky by modern standards, it still continues to look impressive despite this due to its stylization, especially in its architecture.

I tend to focus on only spider-man related characters (and occasionally a few outside of that who reside specifically in NYC) for my sanity’s sake. Most of them exist in one form or another, though I’ll focus on a few variants here for brevity’s sake. We have of course, Percival “Percy” Parker who is a Peter variant that leans more towards being a morally bankrupt villain protagonist kind of guy. M.J. (Marion Jay) Watson is a blacklisted Hollywood actor who went to the city of Rapture to get a second chance at an acting career..

Not particularly in either category? In fact, Percy wasn’t really bitten by a spider at all, but more injected himself with a rare Plasmid that granted him access to spider powers! The spider that the plasmid were based on was more or less a very genetically modified hybrid of several different spiders.

So, Percy lives in New York City and the story begins in the late 50s/early 60s, though for the duration of his “origin story” he spends a few (in universe) weeks down under the sea in an elusive, highly advanced city called Rapture. This is basically where he actually gets his powers from and it’s also the origin of where many of Percy’s eventual rogue’s gallery will emerge from. Why is he down there? Mostly to save his career as a investigative reporter by trying to bring the existence of Rapture to the surface after linking a string of disappearances over the to it. Since proof of the city is practically nonexistent on land due to founder actively creating it to specifically shut the rest of the world out of his secretive objectivist “utopia” (to the point that Rapture is seen as a niche conspiracy theory more than anything), he decides to try to locate the city and to uncover real information regarding it…

He likely wasn’t, as he hasn’t even officially become Spider-Man yet. Yes, he’s a Parker but unlike most, he never really had much a particularly tragic “canon event” happen to him unless you want to count the fact he grew up impoverished during the Great Depression and in WWII, had his dad (not Uncle Ben but Richard Parker because his parents never died in this dimension) get drafted from the war effort. Or how he got his former best friend Eugene “Flash” Thompson sent to jail after he threatened to rat Percy out for his long running ghost writing gig in college and Percy decided to be normal about it by stalking him one night + witnessing Flash get someone killed in a hazing ritual. If they knew him well, the Society would probably avoid scouting for him in the first place. But if he were to be asked for whatever reason, he would only consider joining if there was enough benefits for him and not out of any sense of duty… and he is not afraid to backstab/betray them if things start going really south for the Spider Society.

He doesn’t have them yet, but eventually he will get his web shooters! I’d imagine they are essentially like “typical” webs, but he also will have access to specialized web cartridges such as electric webbing and acid webbing. All developed by his Doc Ock, Olivia, as he’s primarily a reporter/writer with minimal engineering/scientific expertise.

Not yet… but eventually he will adopt a stray cat the Percy will name Dolly! She strictly stays at home though, it’s too dangerous out there!

For now! Though a few years into being the Spider-Man, a biochem college student by name of Miles Davis will approach him. And in the far future, a version of Miguel O’Hara will exist over a century later.

For one, the city of Rapture (and the various Bioshock enemies that come with it) exists in this universe but not in others! The plasmids and the substance ADAM are also things that exist in this universe but not in others. But the Avengers/most Marvel heroes don’t (and won’t) exist. Due to the time period, many modern things don’t exist yet such as the internet for example. Modern fandom as we know it doesn’t quite exist yet and big conventions like Comic Con are not a thing yet.

For the most part, Percy does not have a No Kill Rule, and due to his very traumatic and violent experiences trying to get out of Rapture alive, is well accustomed to killing people by now. Though, once he does return to the Surface, Percy won’t go on a killing spree or anything and generally won’t kill unless it’s in self defense/he feels that it’s necessary for one reason or another. Still, that will not stop him from relentlessly beating his opponents or ruining their lives in other more insidious ways.

Y’know, I’m appreciating the abundance of Spider-Sona tag games recently- so I’m gonna be making my own here! Only 10 questions because I don’t want to go too wild with this one- or else we’d be here all day!

Spider-Sona 10 Questions!

What artstyle is your Spider-Sona’s world? ( For example, Gwen’s world is watercolor, Hobie’s world is inspired by punk art and punk album covers, etc. be creative! )

Do any characters that appear in the 616 or 1610 universes appear in your Spider-Sona’s world? If so, who and how are their roles different? ( For example, if Hobie Brown is in your universe, is he still the Prowler? Is Peter Parker in your universe? )

Is there a specific species of spider your Spider-Sona was bitten by, or was based off of? ( Can’t think of any specific canon examples here- but I’ve seen a lot of Spider-Sonas based off wolf spiders for example! )

What city and what time period does your Spider-Sona live in?

Is your Spider-Sona in the Spider Society? Were they ever asked to join but declined? Were they not scouted at all? Did they join and then quit? Tell me all about it!

Does your Spider-Sona have organic webbing, or do they use web-shooters? Mix of both? And is their webbing typical spider webbing, or does it have a style to it? ( For example, Miguel’s webbing being red and presumably digital. )

Very important question here- do they have any pets? And if so, do they ever take them out on their crime fighting missions?

Are they the only Spider-Person in their universe? ( For example, Miles and Peter co-existing in the Insomniac Games )

Are there things that exist in their universe but don’t in others? ( For example, Comic Con existing in Miles-42’s universe but not in 1610 Miles’s! Or certain Marvel superheroes existing in their universe but not others. )

And lastly ( For now will probably make a few more of these… honestly I could make one daily but I don’t wanna bother people lol ) what does your Spider-Sona think about killing criminals… and their general approach to crime.

Okay and that’s a wrap for this one! Let me know if you want more of these and how frequently you’d like them! If you aren’t tagged, you can still absolutely do this by the way, just gonna tag a few mutuals and people I follow who I know have Spider-Sona’s! Please let me know if you would not like to be tagged in the future- no hard feelings I’m just autistic and need things to be spelled out bluntly for me!

@spidey-bie @the-cat-and-the-birdie @brown-spider @autisticarach

( You know actually I don’t follow a ton of Spider-Sona blogs so if you come across this post and would LIKE to be tagged in future tag games please let me know in the reblogs or the replies! )

Just a Tap

Synopsis: Before they were Peter and Bashful they were strangers with an annoying (semi-traumatic) meet cute.

Pairing: Frat!Peter x Fem!Reader/OC

CW: None really, car accident? maybe if you can count that. Swearing.

Reblog or comment in place of liking this post, pretty please.

Pulling out of ESU parking structure six was a hell fest. There was a constant flow of traffic that seemingly never let up, and a ton of pedestrians that would either wait for all the cars to pull out before crossing the path, or simply used the heavy traffic flow to their advantage. (Y/N) pushed her head back into her seat frustrated, why was New York traffic such a nightmare. The highway traffic started to let up and she sat straight up breathing a sigh of relief. 

“Fucking finally.” 

She looked right and then left before letting off her gas, letting her car roll. Out of nowhere a skateboarder rolled in front of her, causing her to barely tap him with her car. But still she felt terrible. She slammed on her breaks, her hands flying up to her mouth. The boy slammed his hands on the hood of her car, throwing his hands up. He was quite obviously laughing at the situation, and did not seem injured at all. Placing her car in park and throwing her flashers on she basically threw herself out of the vehicle, the skateboarder had already started walking away tossing a look over his shoulder. (Y/N), however, was frozen in place. 

“I am so sorry, are you okay? Do you need a ride?” She yelled after him, looking over her shoulder to make sure no other cars were leaving behind her. 

“I’m good! Just wanted to play it up a little bit.” 

 He laughs, turning, his skateboard in hand. “We should both watch where we are going next time.” He yelled back smiling. “You’re too pretty to be hitting boys with your car.” 

(Y/N) shook her head, swallowing the tears that had built up in her eyes. How could he just be joking about this. Then she saw the shirt: yellow with a red Theta Tau logo on it with ‘ESU est. 1930.’ stitched below it. Frat boys. Suddenly she felt less bad for tapping the bleached blonde with her car. 

“But I skate through here the same time everyday, maybe don’t hit me next time okay?” 

“How about I make sure I don’t miss next time?” She yells back getting into her car, now annoyed that he found the whole interaction funny when she was trying to be sincere. The blonde smiled in response, she watched him turn and skate away. She checked both ways multiple times and pulled onto the road heading to pick her friend up from work.

- 

Fraternity row was lit up in all different colors, the first football game of the season had just ended and the whole street was celebrating the victory. M.J. wrapped her arm around (Y/N) as they walked down the street. 

“Come on you seriously can’t still be hung up on the douchebag that skated out in front of you. He was in the wrong not you, he was jaywalking..jay..skating? Doesn’t matter.” The red head shook her head, her curls shaking. “He’s a dick for that and I’ll tell him if we ever see him. Now please relax and party. Please, it's the first big frat crawl of the semester.” 

“Fine..yeah, you’re right.” 

“I know I am.” M.J. kissed her friend's head, and started to say something else before being cut off. 

“Hey! Watson! Hey!”

M.J. and (Y/N) turned their heads quickly trying to spot the voice that came blaring towards them. A head of blonde hair was in front of them in seconds. A lanky guy stood before them engulfing M.J. in a hug which she gladly returned. “Oh my god. Osborn you scared me, hey this is my roommate and friend (Y/N). (Y/N), this is Harry the guy I was telling you about.”

Harry Osborn was a name you were all too familiar with. M.J. had been in love with him since summer orientation when they met and got stuck in the elevator together. They’d been talking ever since. 

“Hey nice to finally meet you.”

“Yeah you too.” Harry smiles at her. “Hey, why don’t you guys come into Theta and party?” He offered up, pointing in the direction of the bright yellow door contrasting against the white siding of the huge house. 

“Look at that line, no thanks.” (Y/N) laughed.

“No no it’s my frat, well I’m a pledge but I can get y’all in come on.”

-

(Y/N) stood against the back wall of the party, a black plastic cup in hand as she sipped the vodka sprite mixture out of it. If she could fold in on herself she would, she didn’t even like frat crawls. She only went because M.J. begged her, and she didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to hang out with her. However, M.J. was nowhere in sight. Osborn had stolen her away as soon as they got into the house. 

“Well..look who it is.” A voice pooked around the corner at her, she jumped slightly. “Oh come on don’t be bashful. You already hit me with your car.” 

It was the blonde guy from yesterday, he leaned against the wall next to her. Smiling at her slightly. “I said I was sorry, you walked out in front of me.”

“I did yeah sorry. But it’s really rude of you.” (Y/N) stomped her foot wanting to crawl in a hole and cry. “I didn’t mean too hi-”

“No not that. I mean not asking for my name..it was the least you could do after all.”

Her brows furrowed, mouth forming a smile ‘o’. Her eyes feel to the ground and she bit the inside of her cheek. 

“Peter Parker..and you?”

“(Y/N) (Y/L).” 

Peter smiled and slid down the wall sitting on the floor, waiting for her to join him. 

“Nice to meet you (Y/N)…again.”

Wrote this very quickly this morning because the lab is empty and have no one coming in until later.

[ask-percyparker]

Right… I will keep that in mind.

… Look, I’m gonna be really honest here: I’m no hero, Pete. Never claimed to be. And this is… This is asking a lot. I don’t really know Theo or M.J. that well. And while they’ve both helped me a lot so far… a part of me is just.. waiting for the hat to drop, and I’ve gotta get myself alone again. Why would it be different now, especially in a hell hole like Rapture?

See, I don’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to real friends I can really count on. Hell, my own best friend turned away from me when I needed him most! Since then, I find it… difficult.. to not think of that whenever I talk to others.

But.. you’re right. I.. I just need to remind myself why I’m down here in the first place.

- 📸

Specs, you’re a good spider, right? At the very least, you’re a hell of a lot better than I am. You don’t need to get down here, we’ll handle ourselves just fine. I need.. I need advice.

How do you steel yourself for the most horrible things you’ll ever see? I feel like a child to admit it but I’m finding.. difficult.. to move forward. I know what I must do to survive down here and for the most part, I was managing this just fine.

But something about my last encounter hit me in a way that I wasn’t anticipating. I recognize it from what I’ve seen from my father when he came back from the war; I believe the term for it is “combat fatigue”. Not a doctor by any means, but I’ve seen it in action for a long enough time to draw some connections to it.

But unlike my father, I don’t really.. have a place to rest. How do I convince the rest of myself to keep going in spite of this?

- @ask-percyparker

I wish there was an easy answer, Perce. I really do.

I've been in that position...a few times over my career. Or maybe a few hundred. I haven't really kept track. I understand the feelings of...of numbness, hypervigilance, lingering fear and anger and guilt...in my time period, it's not called combat fatigue anymore. Its official name is post-traumatic stress disorder. And, if you're very, very lucky, time and distance will eventually take some of the edge off.

I'm not lucky. But that's beside the point.

Methods of managing it--ignoring therapy as an option, because in your case it isn't--tend to be slipshod, and their effectiveness tends to vary. Sometimes the stuff I do works great, sometimes it's all but useless. When I was fifteen and my symptoms were just starting to get debilitating, Aunt May taught me some exercises with controlled breathing that I still use to settle myself during an episode. Talking to people I love and trust takes a lot of the weight off my shoulders...although, I'll admit, it takes some effort and bravery to make myself start those conversations. You've got Theo and MJ; allowing yourself to lean on them will help more than you can imagine, even though I know every instinct you have is terrified of being that vulnerable. It's hard, but it's worth it. Usually.

And to brace myself for the future?

...That's even harder. I'm not sure there is a good way to do it. But what I do is keep those loved ones close to my chest, and keep myself focused on why I put myself through this fuckery.

I was an awful, awful kid in my first few months as a vigilante; mostly just out there to vent my frustrations and get some photos to sell and ease that knot of guilt in my stomach about what happened to Ben. And because I was in it entirely for myself, those first few disasters hit harder than I think they would've now. I almost quit like a dozen times back then. But eventually I started to realize how many people my selfishness hurt, and how much I could genuinely help if I tried, and I started to understand my...my obligation to help where I could. My responsibility.

I won't say that understanding and accepting that responsibility made me a better person, because I'm not sure it did. But it did give me the strength to keep trying. To push forward and roll with the punches, because I wasn't just doing it for me anymore. I can't promise it'll do the same for you--but it might be a start.

Una nueva oportunidad

Amazing Spider-Man (2018) #2 Nick Spencer (Escritor), Ryan Ottley (Dibujante)

— Mary Jane Watson: Hum. Buenos días, tigre. ¿Has dormido bien? — Peter Parker: ¿Que si…? ¿Si reconozco que me he despertado a cada hora para asegurarme de que seguías aquí, te pareceré raro? — Mary Jane Watson: Siempre has sido raro. Pero no te preocupes… estoy aquí.

— Peter Parker: (Cuesta creerlo. O sea… Mary Jane Watson. El amor de mi vida. La persona con la que he pasado lo bueno… y lo malo. Y con todo eso hemos creado un vínculo que no se parece a nada que haya vivido. Me conoce mejor que nadie… y todavía me quiere.) Lo siento, es que es… — Mary Jane Watson: Demasiado. Sí, yo… también lo estoy procesando. — Peter Parker: O sea, es obvio que no es la primera vez. Y lo hemos intentado unas cuantas. Pero… siempre se interponía algo en el camino.

— Mary Jane Watson: Bueno, menos mal que eso ya no va a ser un problema, ¿verdad? — Peter Parker: M.J… — Mary Jane Watson: Es una broma, Pete. ¿Sabes? Esa cosa que haces tan terriblemente como Spider-Man para que los criminales crean que eres un loco peligroso. Escucha, así es como lo veo yo, tigre… nos han dado una oportunidad. Un nuevo inicio, si quieres. Y sí, tal vez las circunstancias sean un poco… extraordinarias. Hasta aterradoras. Pero el caso es que… todavía te quiero, Peter. Nunca dejé de quererte, la verdad. Y tú… — Peter Parker: Sí, sí, yo también. — Mary Jane Watson: Bueno, entonces, ¿Qué hora es? Vamos a ponernos en marcha. — Peter Parker: O… escúchame… podríamos quedarnos en la cama. — Mary Jane Watson: Oh, bonita propuesta, campeón… pero estoy segura de que en esta cama no hay café. — Peter Parker: A lo mejor no lo has buscado bien. ¡Una vez encontré un flotador! — Mary Jane Watson: Deberías ponerte la máscara antes de hacer esos chistes. Nunca volvería a robar un banco. Además… ¿No tienes clase?

Would you mind telling me more about "Broken?"

Sorry for not replying sooner. I usually use tumblr on my phone and didn`t notice this until opening tumblr on my laptop just now.

Broken starts with Peter Parker who recently had a break up with M.J. (Mary Jane Watson). Peter struggles with heartache from the breakup, possible depression and guilt from Uncle Ben`s death and losing his powers and Deadpool is trying to be there for Peter and cheer him up.

Doom-Wars

Contd. -

Scott Dunham, Lawrence Tylas, Anya Rodinas, and a man known simply as Boris are in Boston, secluded in an old Brownstone on Beacon Street. Publicly, they are guests of a man named David Regal; Actually, they have been summoned and sequestered there by Victor Von Doom. The former Lord of Latveria addresses the group : “All of you have joined me and my cause of your own free wills, and you have my word of honor that good will be done here – good for the people of Latveria.

“It is time now to act. We separate at this juncture. I shall continue on my own, and we shall rendezvous in Transia in three days.”

Each of Doom’s guests receives a one-way plane ticket to Transia and hotel reservations for a one-night stay at a local inn. Boris receives a map giving a location to meet Doom; written instructions with the map explain how a hidden base can be accessed should Doom fail to arrive at the appointed time – 10 PM, the day after the team arrives in Transia.

Doom warns: “My counterpart may track the ticket purchases through one of his many aliases. Do not trust anyone other than the manager of the inn, Karl Hammak; he is aware of your mission and will be beneficial to our cause without revealing your mission or your powers.”

-

As the team leaves paparazzi and eBay-autograph-hounds swarm around the actors and actresses of TV soap opera ‘Secret Hospital’. The one who draws the most attention is the famous and alluring actress/model M.J. Watson-Parker; her scientist husband shuffling nervously at her side. The troupe is also traveling to Transia for an on-location shoot for their series.

-

The person seated across from Boris aboard the plane is elderly and nervous; He is eventually approached by a tall, toned and slim woman with silver hair who coldly whispers, “You’ve been upgraded to 1st class, Herr Schwarzer. You’ll soon stand trial for your war crimes and crimes against humanity.” The woman, Silver Sable, attempts to lead him away, but the man is armed with a loaded gun and he tries to resist. As an interrupted terrorist attack unfolds, one of Boris steps in to aid and prevent any stray bullets from puncturing the aircraft.

-

A young girl is seated towards the rear of the plane, obviously nervous about the flight, and she begins constantly complaining of worsening headaches. The girl is a latent mutant, and Anya is able to coach the girl through it.

-

A small, bald man meets the group at the airport and asks to escort them to the hotel. He says he is the owner of the best hotel in Transia, with a majestic view of Wundagore Mountain. When they enter his van, it floods with amazingly intense knockout gas; the vehicle itself is reinforced with Vibranium to deter any physical escape. They had fallen victim to The Puppet Master (Phillip Masters) who once again works for Doom II. He wants to reduce the party to mindless slaves, setting them to attacking the countryside, terrorize the innocent villagers, and wreak general havoc. They are rescued by their Master, Doom I, but are discredited and ashamed.

[ask-percyparker]

… So I found out what happened to Dr. Connors.

Dear god..

If I had to describe it.. that wasn’t a man that I saw. Or at least, not anymore. Now, I’m not familiar with marine biology, but since the guy did study starfish extensively, I can make a safe guess that he happened to take a lot of .. lets call it inspiration from them.

And by that, mean his form is this.. huge, pulsating tumor-riddled pile of flesh, with 14 arms in total. It’s huge.. I don’t where his face is when looking at it. But, from his writings, I’ve learned that apparently starfish have eyes on their arms. And these tiny, numerous tube-like protrusions underneath the arms.

But I can hear him groaning in pain as he takes up the room he resides in, his lab, more specifically. Though he moves slowly and in a cumbersome manner, he seems to be able to still use his plasmids and is more resilient to regular gunfire attacks.. which makes fighting him difficult. Not to mention, he seems to be eager to devour us if we get too close.

We already saw a splicer get eaten by him. … I-I won’t go into too many gory details but, I believe that just like most starfish, he can.. erm.. evert his stomach to engulf whatever he manages to catch and then brings it back into himself. It was.. disgusting.

Right now, we are trying to think of a way to kill him in an effective way. He’s currently what stands between us and trying to regroup with M.J…

… I have an idea. But it’s a matter of trying to get the right bait for this to hopefully work.

Was he a misanthrope?) ● Harry annoyed by Pete's comings and goings ● oh boy, Pete and Flash butting heads again ● (pg 6) there's a missile "nullifier" at the expo ● Peter Tingles are happening and Gwen notices the change in her date's demeanor ● that machine is quite… magenta ● (pg 7) Doc Ock has entered the chat ● (pg 8) those tentacles spinning at speed would be terrifying and deadly ● Spidey's here! ● I want cloaks to make a comeback

● (pg 12) "If I drop it--dozens will be crushed!" - the nullifier ain't that big, though… ● Spidey plants a tracer on Doc Ock then goes after the nullifier before it can fall on someone ● (pg 15) Doctor Octopus makes it back to his lab, still blinded by web fluid. The web fluid dissolves and he notices the tracer. ● Spider-Man changes back to Peter at the expo and rejoins Warren and Gwen ● Gwen is delighted to see him, which is a nice change. Last time they were somewhere where danger happened and Peter disappeared, she called him an unmitigated coward for running away. …Or was that Liz Allen? I can't remember for sure now. ● The Coffee Bean is a new hangout, and I gotta share this sign!

● Flash, Harry, and M.J. are here. I'm beginning to love this little friend group and it makes me sad to think about what is in some of their futures. ● omg Aunt May and Mrs. Watson are here, too! They tell Peter that they just placed an ad for a boarder for Anna Watson's extra room. ● (M.J.'s black, purple, and orange top is super cute!) ● Peter uses the excuse of walking the older women out to slip the group and get back to his Doctor Octopus debacle ● In Doc Ock's lair, he created a replica of himself in front of the control panel. I'm guessing he's going to lie in wait for Spider-Man to arrive. ● (pg 18) Spidey Sense warns him of a trap ● (pg 19) ka-BLOOM! ● See? Cloaks are cool. They add an aire of mystery. ● Preview of next issue: Doc Ock answering Aunt May and Mrs. Watson's ad for a boarder ● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: Spider-Man reads the latest front page story of the Daily Bugle while hanging out front of the building. He's not surprised to see that Jameson has painted himself the hero and Spider-Man a menace following the death of Frederick Foswell at the hands of the Kingpin. Noticing Spider-Man is hanging outside his office window, Jameson shouts at the hero for distracting his employees. The wall-crawler responds by mocking Jonah's newspaper and tossing his copy into the irate publisher's face. Realizing that he is running late for classes, Spider-Man rushes to Empire State University. His arrival is spotted by Gwen Stacy and Flash Thompson, the latter is excited to see his long time hero. They are soon joined by Harry Osborn, who asks them if they have seen Peter Parker recently, as he is fed up of his roommate is never around to take his messages. As Harry grumbles about being Peter's personal secretary, Spider-Man slips into the empty gymnasium to change back into his civilian identity. He is almost caught in the act by Professor Miles Warren. To cover up his presence in the gym, Peter quickly scales up one of the ropes while he tucks the rest of his costume away under his clothing. Climbing down to meet Warren, he learns that his professor wishes to invite Peter and a friend to check out the latest science exposition. Peter accepts the offer and tells Miles that he will gladly go.

Outside of the gym, Peter runs into Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. Harry snubs Peter and Gwen explains that Harry is upset with Peter's constant comings and goings. When Peter asks if Gwen wants to go to the science expo, she happily accepts. After class, the pair go to meet with Professor Warren, when they bump into Harry and Flash. Flash takes issue with a "civilian" like Peter Parker taking Gwen out for the evening, and this leads to a heated exchange between the two before Gwen breaks it up. Soon, they are on their way with Professor Warren to the exposition. On the way, they talk about the military's new missile "nullifier" device which will be on display. When they arrive, they discover that security is tight in order to prevent the nullifier from getting into the wrong hands. Peter soon becomes distracted when his spider-sense begins going off, warning him that there is danger present, but he can't figure out where it is coming from.

Later during the demonstration of the nullifier's powers, Peter discovers the danger when Doctor Octopus reveals himself as being one of the spectators in the crowd. Making his presence known, Doc Ock then fights his way through security to get possession of the nullifier. As people flee in panic, Peter manages to slip away so he can change into Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the military police on site try to incapacitate Doctor Octopus with tear gas, but the villain begins whipping his mechanical arms around with enough force to blow the gas back in the faces of the soldiers. That's when Spider-Man arrives on the scene to try and stop Octopus. The villain then attempts to flee out the side of the building, but Spider-Man follows suit. On the roof, Spider-Man sprays webbing onto Doc's goggles, temporarily blinding him. In order to stop Spider-Man, Octavius threatens to drop the nullifier onto the crowd below. Realizing he will have to let his enemy go, Spider-Man tags Otto with a Spider-Tracer before leaping down to stop the falling nullifier from landing on anyone. As expected, Doctor Octopus makes his getaway.

As the villain flees, he recounts his last battle with Spider-Man where they both found themselves trapped in an undersea hideout that was rapidly flooding with water. With Spider-Man pinned under tons of rubble, Doctor Octopus managed to escape by using his mechanical arms to keep him above water until he was able to procure diving gear and swim the rest of the way to freedom without drowning. Back at his new hideout, Otto discovers the Spider-Tracer and decides to set a suitable trap for his foe. Back at the exposition, Peter has changed out of his costume and rejoins Gwen and Professor Warren. He tells them that he was trying to find a camera to take photos of the situation for the Daily Bugle and is surprised when Gwen hugs him upon seeing that he is okay. Later, Professor Warren drops Peter and Gwen at the Coffee Bean to meet with the others. As Gwen exchanges pleasantries with Flash, and Mary Jane, Peter wonders why Harry is scowling at him. Before he can find out, Aunt May and Anna Watson arrive to tell Peter that they will be renting out a room so they can make extra money. Peter thinks it is a great idea, but warns his aunt to be careful about who she rents it out to. Peter decides to use this as an opportunity to track down Oct Ock, and tells his friends that he is going to walk his Aunt and Anna back home.

By this time, Doctor Octopus has rigged up a dummy of himself to lure Spider-Man into a trap. Sure enough, when the web-slinger tracks his Spider-Tracer to the Doctor's hideout he is lured right to the location of the trap. However, Spidey's spider-sense warns him of trouble, and suspecting a trap, he tosses a web ball at the dummy of Doctor Octopus, setting off the explosives that it was rigged with. Watching the building explode from his hideout, Doctor Octopus assumes that Spider-Man has been destroyed. Needing to lay low, Doctor Octopus fades into the night to search for a place of lodging, unaware that Spider-Man is still alive. Meanwhile, the wall-crawler vows to track down Doctor Octopus no matter what, unaware that his foe is just now meeting with his Aunt May in order to rent out the room that she put out an advertisement for.
