Plot
Peter Parker / Spider-Man is swinging around New York while overseeing news about the peace treaty between the Mutants and the Inhumans and taking up King T'Challa's advice about the Master Planner, until he spots his friend Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel battling Beetle, who is targeting someone in a F.E.A.S.T. shelter where Aunt May is currently working at as a nurse. Spider-Man joins Ms. Marvel, and the pair defeat him. As the two young heroes voice their admiration for each other and pleasure over their previously successful team-ups, Beetle barely recovers and attempts to recharge his armor until he is attacked by a fox-like metahuman child (identified by the F.E.A.S.T. refugees as the "Werefox") who absorbs his armor's core, overloading Beetle's armor and causing him to take off uncontrollably. Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel take a spot on the Werefox, and (through Spider-Man's optic scanners) discover that she is a Mutant/Inhuman hybrid.

Later on, Peter and Kamala are with the Werefox in Aunt May's office, where Aunt May identifies the Werefox as Katherine "Kit" Renner, a child girl who was rendered an orphan after her parents (a male Mutant and a female Inhuman) were killed trying to stop Mutant war criminal Magneto and Attilan exile Maximus the Mad from starting a war between Mutants and Inhumans. Willing to ensure the peace treaty is preserved, Peter offers to look after Kit and ensure her safety, with Kamala also intending to help. Elsewhere, X-Men members Bobby Drake / Iceman and Anna Marie / Rogue are met with young Inhuman Dante Pertuz / Inferno, who was informed by Kamala about Kit and the three rush to help. Meanwhile, former military colonel-turned-fugitive William Stryker has made a deal with the Master Planner (who had previously hired Beetle to intercept Kit in the F.E.A.S.T. shelter) and is disguising himself as a security guard in a Oscorp facility seeking the core computer to gain access to the Slayers and use them to be rid of Mutants and Inhumans. Overhearing of the Werefox's existence, Stryker begins formulating a plan to use her as a weapon and terminate her when she is no longer needed as he takes his leave with the Slayers' control keys. Spying on Stryker and overhearing this, a camouflaged Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid contacts Spider-Man and alerts him about the situation. Also spying on Stryker is Nocturnal, who also follows him before something far worse happens.

Back on the F.E.A.S.T. shelter, Peter answers to Miles' call and informs him that he will be ready. While still looking after Kit, Peter and Kamala learn more about Kit's ability to absorb metahuman energy from both organic and synthetic lifeforms (robots and cyborgs), as their scanners reveal that Kit (having developed increased speed, superhuman strength and sonic wave howl by absorbing a capsule within Beetle's armor) can only duplicate the abilities of three more metahumans or machines. Just as they begin discussing where they should find the other three sources, Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel eventually find themselves defending the F.E.A.S.T. shelter from both Magneto and Maximus, who are mutually seeking to terminate Kit out of their disgust of her status as a Mutant/Inhuman hybrid, and their mutual protest against the Mutant/Inhuman peace treaty. The two villains engage the young heroes and each other over Kit until Kid Arachnid, Inferno, Iceman and Rogue arrive to reinforce Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel and secure Kit. Nocturnal, who had lost his fear of showing himself to humans after J. Jonah Jameson's arrest, also helps the heroes protect Kit and fight off Magneto and Maximus. Stryker reveals himself with the Slayers in a attempt to take Kit in, but Magneto soon disables some of the Slayers and creates a robotic body of his own with their metallic remains, while Maximus converts the other robots to his own image and control.

While Iceman and Rogue take on Magneto and Inferno and Ms. Marvel contend with Maximus, Stryker confronts Spider-Man and demands him to surrender Kit, but Kit bites and absorbs Stryker's bionic arm (earning her the ability to manipulate electricity and overloading Stryker's arm and causing it to broadcast footage of his future plans to the city) while Spider-Man knocks him out and banishes him to the Titanian Tigers' tribe, where Chief Soto voices interest in punishing Stryker. Miles passes Kit a camouflage component from a Slayer for her to absorb, earning her invisibility and allowing her to ambush Maximus and claw his head, absorbing his superhuman intellect and technopathic powers, completing her metabolism and also causing Maximus' head and brain to expand until he loses consciousness in the progress. Magneto attempts to finish Spider-Man and Kit off, but Kit and Inferno manage to overheat Magneto's armor while Iceman douses him with ice, inducing thermal shock and freezing Magneto in place, with Spider-Man placing a inhibitor collar on Magneto. As a disabled Maximus is taken by Attilan's Royal Guard to stand trial and a frozen Magneto is incarcerated in the Vault, Spider-Man is honored by the crowd, as well as by Professor X and Black Bolt, for preserving the peace treaty by keeping Kit safe, and Kit and Nocturnal are taken in to Pegasus Z (a paradise island where homeless metahumans can live freely without persecution) by the Titanian Tigers. Checking on Stryker's equipment and communicators with Dr. Hank McCoy / Beast and Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man learns about Stryker's bargains with the Master Planner, whom Spider-Man vows to uncover and expose by any means necessary.
