Plot
In Horizon High School, Peter Parker and his friends are with Carlie Cooper in her lab after she plugs the Neuro-Cortex micro-chip containing her father Sergeant Chris Cooper's consciousness in one of the remains of the Living Brain. Once active, Sergeant Cooper reveals that he and his troopers were sent by Truman Marsh to infiltrate a Hydra base until Red Skull discovered them and apparently killed him with his Neuro-Cortex-powered turret. The progress disintegrated Sergeant Cooper's body, but also absorbed his consciousness, which remained alive in cyberspace. During a discussion about granting Sergeant Cooper a new robot body where he could be more funcional, Peter offers to let his friends use the source of his parents' third project: a giant alien robot body code-named "Arsenal" which is hidden in the underground of a Oscorp facility, which (as scanned by Ace in his logs) is targeted by Stormranger for destruction after hearing news that Oscorp executive Donald Menken plans to sell its technology for Hydra. Peter suits up as Spider-Man and searches for her, while also feeling insecure and uncertain about how he will convince Stormranger that she is his sister.

Swinging around New York, Spider-Man is also joined by Mary Jane Watson / Tigra, who also offers to help him find a way to convince Stormranger of their mutual parentage before watching as Aunt May is earning company from Max Modell and Shang-Chi after Peter learned of who and what Stormranger is. Later on, Spider-Man spots Stormranger destroying some Oscorp chemicals which were hidden in Fisk Industries facilities, and having a fight against Yellowjacket, who is planning to steal Oscorp's technology for his own purposes. Followed by Harry Osborn (donning the Hobgoblin armor once more ), Spider-Man and Tigra also join the fight, defeating Yellowjacket and allowing Stormranger to destroy the chemicals before leaving. Regrouping in the main Oscorp office, Harry overhears from Peter about who Stormranger is and what happened to their parents Richard and Mary. Suddenly finding classified footage of the couple, Harry becomes shocked to find out that his father Norman had also played a role in turning Peter's parents over to the Red Skull; Norman had previously offered the Parkers to work for him at Oscorp for their knowledge of the universes they explored to gather their experiments, but disagreeing to use their researches to create weapons, Richard and Mary declined. Refusing to be denied of the researches, Norman retaliated by reporting back to Red Skull and informing him that Richard and Mary were the ones who sabotaged the new Winter Soldier program, leading Red Skull to execute them, but the researches were nowhere to be found. Harry finds out the worst when he discovers files revealing that his real parents Arthur and Emily Lyman were also killed by Osborn, who then took Harry in as his son. Peter and Mary Jane are mutually shocked to hear this, but they soon comfort Harry. Later on, the building is attacked by a Symbiote creature calling itself Carnage.

Spider-Man, Tigra and Hobgoblin battle the creature before it is driven away by Eddie Brock and Venom, who reveal that Carnage was sent by the Alpha Symbiote of Klyntar to seek a rocket to bring in the rest of the Symbiotes to Earth, and has taken possession of a Hydra agent to fulfill its mission. Venom offers to help stop the issuing chaos, despite Spider-Man and his friends being distrustful of both Brock and the Symbiote. Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider, Anya Corazon / Spider-Girl, Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid, Kevin Walker / American Knight, Ace, and Jarvis track down the underground where the Arsenal body is hidden, which leads the to the Oscorp facility where Ace detects numerous Hydra agents disguised as Oscorp employees. They also encounter Gwen's uncle Scott Lang / Ant-Man, who is pursuing Yellowjacket in Oscorp; Yellowjacket was once Darren Cross, a former Pym Industries executive who was fired for attempting to steal researches about the Quantum Realm for Oscorp and Hydra, and now seeks Oscorp's experiments for his own personal goals, including taking over Pym Industries. The group reaches Arsenal and, joined by Carlie after Jarvis teleports her in there, begin working on a way to relocate Sergeant Cooper's consciousness in it. Spider-Man, Tigra, Hobgoblin and Venom spot Stormranger, who has decided to destroy the Oscorp facility at once, and follow her, eventually battling the Hydra agents present in there while Harry confronts Menken over having agreed to maintain Norman's lie, eventually learning from Menken that Norman is still alive. Carnage and Yellowjacket also emerge to take the experiments until Venom and Ant-Man take them on a fight. Later on, Spider-Man is advised by Carlie that Stormranger is about to directly destroy the core of the facility, but she will not be able to escape and survive the impending blast if she does so.

Desperate and unwilling to lose his sister like he lost his parents and Uncle Ben, Spider-Man rushes to the core in time to reach Stormranger, eventually drawing her attention by addressing her by her real name Teresa. Right after reminding her of the day she saw her brother in Horizon High, Spider-Man eventually unmasks himself for Teresa, revealing himself as her brother Peter, and the two embrace. Meanwhile, Carlie and Gwen finish the codifications and complete the transfer process, successfully relocating Sergeant Cooper's consciousness in the Arsenal, who awakens downloading Oscorp's files and evidences of Norman's crimes in his database, while Ant-Man and Kid Arachnid defeat Yellowjacket. Later on, the facility descends to chaos as Carnage begins infecting other Hydra agents and Oscorp employees as well. Just then, Harry has Jarvis teleport a drone controlling his Hobgoblin suit in Peter and Teresa's place and, after broadcasting a disappointment message for Norman, eventually has the drone slice the core of the facility with his heat sword, causing an explosion which obliterates the facility, and incinerates Carnage and his duplicates while Peter, Harry and the others evacuate. Menken survives the explosion and attempts to escape, but only to be intercepted by Arsenal, who infuses him with a brain virus which forces him to permanently hallucinate himself in a dark world of Menken's worst nightmares. As Menken and Yellowjacket are taken to prison by S.H.I.E.L.D., Harry declares that "Harry Osborn is no more" before undergoing his true name Harry Lyman, during which Brock (remorseful over both Peter's and Harry's conditions and believing he failed Anne Weying again) departs from New York with Venom, and a still insecure Teresa is taken in by Shang-Chi to the K'un-Lun Temple until the persecutors of hers and Peter's parents are dealt with, while a remorseful Peter is encouraged by his friends to finish his parents' projects in their memory. Mary Jane also reveals to Peter that the Inhumans of Attilan had completed a part of the fourth project : a emphatic insectoid alien (whom Gwen nicknames "Mantis") which has a symbiotic link to him. Taking up advice about Norman's survival and whereabouts, Peter and Gwen set out with Ace, Jarvis, Arsenal (who had acquired the ability to shape-shift into a Quinjet form) and Mantis to apprehend him, but not before Peter has a warm moment with Aunt May, who pleads for him to promise he will bring Teresa home once he is done, for which he replies "I will. Whatever it takes...".
