Gameplay Dynamics/Features

 * The immersive combat system is partially inspired by the Batman: Arkham video games, mixing those dodge and attack elements with web gadgets, parkour, swinging, and great variety in combat, as the combat is what Spider-Man fights like in the comic books. There are two times more web gadgets to unlock, as the skill tree has added two more categories and makes the combat even more engaging than ever
 * The maximum level cap is still 60, but Insomniac Games heard gamers' complaints on how leveling up was a little too casual; Insomniac has made it so that it is harder to level up and takes skill to do so, completing certain objectives, some challenging and some just regular objectives
 * Since the last game tried it's best to capture real-life Manhattan, Insomniac has finally hit it out of the park; the map of Manhattan is entirely accurate, according to some geologists from Manhattan. Insomniac has also made Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Raft, Ryker's Island, and Queens all playable in, wholesomely expanding from the last game; there are more interiors the player can enter (which will be mentioned later in this list)
 * There are a total of 35 (vanilla base) game suits in this game, which players can unlock by gathering tokens, completing crimes, doing side missions, and many other activities. There are more tokens to be unlocked and the challenge in unlocking them makes unlocking suits and abilities very worthwhile
 * Miles has four (vanilla base) game suits in the game
 * There is a separate skill tree for Miles and unique abilities as well; Miles can camouflage himself, perform venom's touch, shock people, and is very competitive in stealth, but his spider sense is slower and weaker than Spider-Man's, making it more of a challenge to fight with; he also has his own gadget abilities unique from Spider-Man's
 * Felicia has three (vanilla base) game suit in the game
 * This game continues on the aspect of exploring not just Spider-Man's life, but also that of Peter Parker's, who is now working at Empire State University; the player can go to the Empire State University, the Daily Bugle (to visit Mary Jane), Peter's apartment, as well as change into Peter Parker on the streets whenever necessary (some main missions and side missions require Peter's abilities)
 * Insomniac Games has made it so that players can customize their own unique suit and can mash abilities from other suits and add any color schemes, eye-lids, and in-game advantages they want. This ability, however, does not unlock until the player hits level 20
 * There is actually endgame content that come after the player beats the story (certain side missions activate after the player beats the game and challenges pop up in the map to be completed)
 * In separate story DLC and in the endgame content, Black Cat is playable. Black Cat is very agile and very much similar to Catwoman in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. In the DLC, players have the option to roam the world as Black Cat.
 * There are fighting/stealth arenas players can participate in and play to compete for worldwide leaderboards, complete challenges (which lead into obtaining certain suits); arenas/maps are locations from the actual game's storyline

Synopsis
Just a year after the Devil's Breath incident that left New York scarred and not able to trust Mayor Osborn, Peter has spent his year working at his former college campus under the brilliant Miles Warren and training Miles Morales to become a superhero, with Miles so eager to do more with his career as a new Wall-Crawler, looking up to Peter as a mentor figure. After an attack on Osborn with the Lizard trying to steal the Devil's Breath to cure himself, Peter finds out about Norman Osborn's darkest secrets, including a prototype suit and the black symbiote, in which he bonds with, making him ten times stronger, but also ten times more aggressive. Peter enjoys the use of the symbiote to where it concerns those close to him such as Mary Jane, Miles, Eddie Brock, Yuri, and Harry, who returns from Europe all clean; the suit changes him. Norman's mistakes result into him losing his position at Oscorp and going mentally insane, spewing the persona of the Green Goblin, who Spider-Man uses the symbiote to fight. As the Kingpin of Crime returns to claim the city and Osborn's legacy hurting the city, this fight determines both the internal war Peter has with the symbiote and the external war he has waged against Osborn. Norman pushes Peter to his limits by attacking his heart and Peter slowly becomes a monster.

Story Events (Leading up to the ending)

 * 1) Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid, the superhero identity of Miles, are infiltrating a group of low-end thugs robbing a stock market exchange in Queens. Miles, although eager, manages to stay calm (Miles is wearing his classic suit from the comic books with a hoodie over his upper body and Air Jordans which help him maintain balance on buildings better). Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid shut down the operation, return the stolen materials, and confront the leader behind the operation; a shady fashion designer known as Roderick Kingsley. Kingsley is arrested per Spider-Man and his partner; Yuri arrests Kingsley, telling him there is a special place for him on Ryker's Island (as Kingsley has been running these shady business dealings for a year). Yuri thanks the two Spider-Men and the two swing away and Peter invites Miles over for dinner at his apartment; Peter proposes to make Miles new web shooters and Miles impresses Peter, telling Peter that he has already had a plan layout on making new ones for himself. Peter is very proud of Miles and after dinner, they call it a day.
 * 2) Peter goes to work at Empire State University; for the past year, he has been working for a brilliant biochemist known as Miles Warren, who is proved to be brilliant and very confident in his work, sometimes even too confident. Peter works as an assistant and although he does enjoy working for Warren, he has always told himself that this job is only temporary, as he still wants to work in a job where he can make a difference in the city (such as Octavius Industries until Otto went rogue). Peter respects Warren, but the latter does not seem to give back. Peter decides to visit MJ at the Daily Bugle; Peter reunites with Jameson after years of not working at the Bugle. Jameson admits to missing Peter. Peter meets Eddie Brock, an arrogant and self-absorbing staff photographer who agrees that Spider-Man is a menace. Brock is competing with Mary Jane for a director's position. Eddie is determined to get that position. Peter invites Mary Jane to lunch at Stan's Cafe and the two catch up; Peter admits Dr. Warren does not seem very fond and makes him kind of miss Otto, but at least one thing has gone great; Miles is training to be a superhero and aspires to be the greatest; MJ tells Peter that her job is going great and she knows she will be able to beat Brock. Peter and MJ then bring up the topic of Norman; for the past year, Norman has spent his time away from the public and the media, especially the Bugle, who are now doning him the name of the one responsible for the chaos caused a year ago with Otto, Li, the Sinister Six, and Devil's Breath. Norman is only CEO of Oscorp and no longer Mayor because of all the dirt exposed on him from last year. Norman gets away clean, but the city hates one other person even more; Morgan Michaels, who himself even feels guilty about the creation of the virus.
 * 3) The NYPD, with the massive support of Yuri, has implemented new security systems across Manhattan and Queens. Spider-Man goes around stopping crime on both islands and stops a house robbery in a wealthy Queens neighborhood. Spider-Man goes to save the house victims and notices something strange; all these crimes him and Yuri have been chasing across both islands have at least one similar purple, fish-bowl masked criminals; Spider-Man then examines the house for what this could mean and there is an invitation from none other than Mysterio, aka Quentin Beck, illusionist and magician who is a longtime foe of Spider-Man's. Spider-Man informs Yuri and Spider-Man ensures her that Mysterio is a joke compared to the other supervillains he has fought.
 * 4) Spider-Man and Yuri chase down leads on where Mysterio actually is. Spider-Man gets a call from Miles, who hears that Mysterio is back. Miles asks Peter if he needs help taking down Mysterio. Peter ensures Miles he has it under control, but asks Miles how work at FEAST is. Miles reminds Peter that FEAST is done remodeling and all the homeless have individual rooms to sleep in and Miles has been working hard, especially now that his mother is on a year-long business trip and he is staying with his uncle Aaron Davis, but Michaels, who is the director of FEAST after May's death and Li's "absence", is always depressed because of the guilt he feels from Devil's Breath. Peter tells Miles to tell Michaels that if he ever needs someone to talk to, contact Peter because Peter has experience with the "guilt tripping". Spider-Man goes around Queens looking for Mysterio's culprits and end up finding out Mysterio has a show awaiting at the Statue of Liberty for him.
 * 5) After a long day of boring lecture and Warren seemingly over-the-top of his lecture, Peter is excited to leave work, but before Peter goes; Warren says that he may seem very arrogant, but Warren just admits he is so deep into his biochemist research. Warren, however, does not tell Peter what that is, as Peter is only his assistant making $20 an hour. Peter suits up for the night's big show at the Statue of Liberty; Peter calls Mary Jane, who prepares a headline for the rise and fall of Mysterio. Spider-Man goes to the Statue of Liberty with the help of a boat driven by one of his biggest fans. Mysterio forces Spider-Man to play hide-and-seek on the island, with multiple illusion brains surrounding statue. Spider-Man must find Mysterio and goes into the interior, finds Mysterio, and has a short fight with Mysterio, who has still not improved his game the past decade he has known Spider-Man. During the fight, Mysterio reveals he watched Spider-Man fight the Sinister Six last year and was impressed. Mysterio is put behind bars by Yuri, claiming he is sharing a cell with Roderick Kingsley. Spider-Man goes to Eddie's Pizza in Greenwich to go get a pizza and meets Black Cat there, who he has not seen since the Maggia's return to New York (in the previous game's DLC). Felicia does not flirt with Spider-Man, showing how much she has changed. Felicia instead invites Spider-Man to a little tip she got about Norman; the FBI have sent agents to go investigate Norman, as they have noticed his penthouse has many strange items and secrets in it, including a secret room. Spider-Man remembers Mary Jane snuck into Norman's penthouse to go find more about Devil's Breath last year. Spider-Man and Black Cat agree to meet the next night to go investigate.
 * 6) Peter goes over to MJ's apartment and MJ is working on the new cover on the FBI investigating Norman. She would talk to Norman herself, but Norman has never been fond of her existence. Peter hides the fact that he is working with Felicia on this case; MJ has already stated multiple times that she does not like Felicia since she has betrayed Peter on multiple occasions. Peter manages to convince MJ that Felicia will be a big help. MJ reluctantly agrees and Peter suits up and meets Black Cat at Norman's penthouse. While him and Black Cat must sneak in without taking out any of Norman's associates, Peter gets a surprising phone call from Harry, who has returned from Europe after all this time. Peter keeps his excitement in and finds out Harry is waiting for him and MJ at Battery Park. Spider-Man and Black Cat make their way to Norman's secret room and after Norman leaves the penthouse in anger (due to the FBI investigating him), the television flashes an eerie warning for all New York residents to stay in their homes, as the Lizard, aka Dr. Curt Connors, Peter's old college professor, is on the loose from the Queens Mental Asylum. Spider-Man is surprised to hear this and Black Cat goes silent. Spider-Man enters the room and sees the map of the Devil's Breath, a green prototype suit, and a giant metal container. Spider-Man steps on a platform, which opens the metal container and just for a second, he sees an entity in water covered with a black symbiote, an alien substance which gets crazy when Spider-Man comes near. Everything happens in a flash when the Lizard pops out, steals the last remaining vile of Devil's Breath and the metal container with the unknown entity closes. Spider-Man hears the haunting voice of Dr. Connors. Spider-Man is choked by the Lizard's tail, but manages to escape. Spider-Man tries to find the Lizard, but fails and tries to contact Felicia to see where she went, but fails.
 * 7) Peter meets with MJ at Battery Park; she was contacted by Harry too. Peter, Harry, and MJ all bond like the good old days and catch up; they go to dinner and Peter and Harry begin discussing about the business they never started since Harry had to leave for Europe (claiming he was cured); Peter mentions his current job in Warren's class, but admits he misses working for Otto, even after everything that went down. Harry feels for Peter and tells him he should really think about that business.
 * 8) Spider-Man contacts Felicia, who agrees to meet him at the Brooklyn Bridge (since he loves the view). The two decide to investigate on how Connors got out from the Queens Mental Asylum. Spider-Man calls upon Yuri, who agrees to help him by distracting the NYPD officers at her precinct so that he can research the files on Connors's arrest five years ago (Peter has flashbacks of Connors; Connors was and possibly still is one of the most influential figures in Peter's life). Spider-Man finds out (through several audio tapes) that Connors saw what the Devil's Breath did to Martin Li. Connors is crazy enough to believe it could cure him. But why does Norman have the last remaining vile of the bioweapon in his chamber? Spider-Man finds himself, along with Black Cat, trying to escape from the precinct, who detect intruders into their databases.
 * 9) After a long and boring day at work at Warren's, Peter immediately heads off to the asylum in Queens to investigate the damages the Lizard has bestowed upon the hospital. Spider-Man reunites with Dr. Michaels, who he is more than happy to see. Michaels tries to apologize to Spider-Man about the Devil's Breath since he was the creator of the virus, but Spider-Man ensures Michaels need not worry. Michaels is at the asylum because he, now being the director of FEAST, is helping access the damages and donate to the asylum's workers. Michaels also had previous history with Connors; Connors went to the same medical school as Michaels did. Michaels tours Spider-Man on all the damages and Spider-Man shows Michaels the audio files he discovered from breaking into the NYPD precinct back in Manhattan. Spider-Man draws the conclusion that Connors has changed extensively after injecting the cross species serum all those years ago; he believes Norman and Devil's Breath; he believes the virus can cure his missing arm and win him his son and wife back. Michaels insists that Spider-Man's first action should be securing Devil's Breath... and destroying it once and for all...
 * 10) Norman has a meeting in which the Oscorp Board of Officials (OBO) is questioning Norman on why Spider-Man and the Lizard was in his penthouse the other night and why the Devil's Breath still exists. Norman dodges factual evidence of the Devil's Breath's existence with the corrupt system questioning him, a CEO and former Mayor. Even Donald Menken, Norman's life-long friend and assistant, is questioning Norman. Meanwhile, Peter is at his apartment and on the phone with Miles, who calls and insists Peter call him up anytime if he needs Miles on a mission; Miles goes as far as saying he does not mind ditching school to go fight as Kid Arachnid. Peter discourages this, but he asks Miles a huge favor; using his tracking device to hack into all the systems; from Financial District all the way down toe East Harlem in Manhattan and going as far as the surveillance systems in Queens and Staten Island. Peter goes out as Spider-Man while Miles guides him through all the evidence and trails he catches from the Lizard; the two are both smart enough to know that Miles cannot use the surveillance to spy on innocent people because that would be wrong. After the guide, Spider-Man eventually enters the outer terrain of a sewer system near a cathedral in Queens. Spider-Man does not get to tread far, as the Lizard pops out and the two have a mini encounter; the Lizard remembers Spider-Man and mutters, "Haven't you ruined enough lives?" Spider-Man feels this and tells the Lizard he can help him. Spider-Man manages to grab the Devil's Breath after distracting the Lizard. Lizard gets away once more on Spider-Man's annoyance and disappointment, but Spider-Man calls Michaels to ensure the next plan of action; Michaels suggests Spider-Man take the virus barrier from Michaels's old lab. Michaels trusts Spider-Man enough to go into Michaels's house in Greenwich. Michaels tells Spider-Man to put on a hazmat mask. Spider-Man finds a hazmat mask; the one resistant to Devil's Breath in Michaels's house and goes offshore about twenty miles north of Staten Island; Spider-Man destroys the contents of Devil's Breath. That is it; the virus is gone forever. Spider-Man thanks Michaels for his help and reveals he is there to talk if Michaels needs help with his depression from last year (in Michaels's house were journals of how his guilt of Devil's Breath has changed his life forever).
 * 11) Peter decides to visit MJ at the Bugle to update her; Connors is still out there, but he managed to destroy the Devil's Breath (off-mission; Peter called Black Cat and Yuri as well to confirm with them that the virus is gone). MJ sees that Peter is very determined to get Connors back; maybe not even back to the asylum, but he wants to revert Connors back and get him the true help he needs for his mental and physical health. MJ is currently competing against Eddie on the Lizard story, with Eddie in the lead; Peter encourages MJ that she can outsmart Eddie for that director's position. MJ reminds Peter about that business him and Harry always wanted to start up. Peter tells MJ that he really has been thinking about it and that this business could change his life (off-mission, Peter and Harry have been talking about how their business should be revolved around preserving Manhattan's environmental sanctions). MJ encourages Peter to do so especially if he is not happy at Warren's.
 * 12) Norman has a flashback of Emily, his wife, who died from the genetic disease. Norman looks back at his last day with Emily and has a flashback of him firing Otto from Oscorp even after their life-long friendship. Norman's unethical experiments (which is the reason Otto started Octavius Industries) included of experimenting on Emily to find the best cure possible for the genetic disease; that included of tasking Dr. Morgan Michaels in creating Devil's Breath. Norman flashes out of his flashback and sees Harry come home and just sit on the couch, staring at the wall. Norman smiles. However, after his flashbacks and how angry he is that Spider-Man has destroyed the Devil's Breath; Norman finds out that the OBO has discovered Norman's secret lab. Norman tries to verbally defend himself and signals for Harry to exit the mansion (which is strange). Top members including the likes of Mark Raxton, Liz Allen, Conrad Marcus, and Rajit Ratha look into the lab; the electric and venom-touch spiders (the ones that bit Miles), files of the Devil's Breath, and the shady tank. Norman refuses to give the password to the tank and when the Board takes away all of his belongings and threatens to fire him, Norman gets violent and punches Marcus right in the jaw. Ratha dismisses this entire argument and officially declares Norman is on authorized and permanent suspension from Oscorp. Norman has doubts and voices in his head (specifically Emily's) telling him that he is a failure and that Otto was right about him. The CEO title is given to Menken and Ratha, being very arrogant and the only board member brave enough to stand up to Norman's leadership persona, tells Norman to enjoy his life of failure and that the Board is doing not only Manhattan, but the entirety of New York a favor by firing him.
 * 13) Peter, Mary Jane, and Miles are at MJ's apartment for dinner. After a conversation ensues about Connors, the three turn the television on to the Bugle news; Norman has been signed for official leave on Oscorp; Norman has been disgracefully discharged from the company. The three are surprised and Peter immediately calls Harry, after telling Miles who Harry is. Harry was just coming over and they ask if he is alright. Harry is honest; he says Norman deserves it after all Norman has done last year. Harry joins them for dinner and insists they celebrate that his terrible father is miserable. Peter and Mary Jane look at each other in shock, but join in along with Miles, who introduces himself to Harry as Peter's "little brother". After the dinner, Harry crashes on MJ's couch and MJ is fine with it. Peter and Miles both suit up and realize that now that Norman is fired and the city is at least a bit more secure, the two need to go around New York; Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island to find Connors. The two go around, but find no luck. Spider-Man hears from Yuri about her reaction of Norman's suspension; Yuri is happy. Miles calls it a night and says his Uncle Aaron is going to be a little worried if he returns home late. Miles says he needs to wake up early for the New Year's Eve festival at Times Square. Peter was so busy that he forget tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk is inside Ryker's Island and sees the news on Norman's suspension. Fisk mutters, "Good riddance".
 * 14) Peter, Harry, and Mary Jane all attend the festival at Times Square; the festival is very gigantic. OBO members Liz Allen and Mark Raxton (who are half-siblings), Conrad Marcus (who has a bruised mouth after being punched by Norman), Rajit Ratha, and even CEO Menken. Miles and Aaron are there; Aaron is portrayed to be very kind to Miles and Miles really looks up to Aaron even though Aaron always seemed sketchy for Rio and Jeff. In the giant crowd, MJ is taking a picture, along with Eddie, who kisses up to Jameson. Jameson is announcing his new role as Mayor of New York, with the surprise of everyone. Jameson has come far from being a small-time newspaper editor twenty years ago, then to a talkshow host and director of the Bugle, and now as Mayor AND Director of the Bugle. Jameson invites the OBO and Menken on stage to speak about former Mayor Osborn's suspension. The OBO subtly talk down about Norman and how the city has no more "Osborn supporters". Menken does a speech and Harry tells Peter and MJ that he'd rather have Menken as CEO than Norman. Raxton, Marcus, Allen, and Ratha all perform their own speeches about how Norman was always corrupt and how removing him is the first step to making New York a better place. Mayor Jameson and CEO Menken concur with these statements. Afterwards, the actual holiday festival finally begins and people start dancing with Peter and MJ dancing together and Harry joining in and dancing; the three have a good time. But something is wrong; Peter's spider sense is going off the charts. Since Miles's spider sense is not very developed (since the spider that bit him is very different from the one that bit Peter), he can not sense anything, but he does hear a wind blowing aggressively in the distance even with all the noise in Times Square. Peter senses something and with Harry distracted, MJ asks Peter what is wrong. This spider sense alert lasts throughout the day until just twenty minutes before the New Year's clock hits and 2017 arrives; something has been lurking in the shadows of Times Square all day and Peter finally has enough. Peter leaves MJ and Harry behind to find the culprit in the audience. Peter sees it; a figure in the dark skies laughing manically with a glider, a crazy-looking green prototype suit, and prototype pumpkin-laughing bombs. The audience in Times Square cheers as the figure loops around the block, with citizens and even the likes of Harry, Jameson, and Aaron. The figure loops and continues laughing manically. As the figure gets closer, MJ has a look of fear, as the figure strikes five non-lethal bombs at the audience. MJ runs out and gets Harry. Yuri orders her squad to open fire on the culprit. Peter suits up quickly and the culprit, known as the Green Goblin, goes to the location of the OBO. Raxton runs away and manages to get Liz out of the way as well and Rajit Ratha orders his driver to drive him out of there. Green Goblin chases down Marcus and his assistants from the Board. Green Goblin laughs and says, "I'm out, you say?!?!" Green Goblin bombs Marcus and Marcus, along with his Board assistant, blows into pieces. Green Goblin is presumably looking through the citizens to try and find Raxton and Allen. Spider-Man gets calls from Yuri, Miles, and MJ; Yuri tells Spider-Man that she is going to get as many civilians to safety as she can, Miles insists to help, but Peter does not want him killed and tells Miles to get his Uncle Aaron to safety as soon as possible, and MJ asks Peter if he is fine. Peter asks MJ to get Harry to safety. Spider-Man chases down the Green Goblin, who manages to kidnap Raxton and Allen. Spider-Man converges with Yuri and the Precinct; Green Goblin is nowhere to be seen. He mysteriously comes back and has kidnapped Ratha by stabbing Ratha's driver through the roof of his car and kidnapping Ratha that way. Green Goblin claims he is going to have the most fun with Ratha. Green Goblin comes back just seconds before the New Year's timer is done and throws a lethal bomb at a large crowd in Times Square. Spider-Man dodges the bomb and throws it elsewhere, saving the civilians. Aaron gets Miles home and MJ and Harry get out of Times Square, with Harry worried about where Peter is. MJ lies and says Peter is safe. Spider-Man punches Green Goblin right when 2017 hits and the two fight for a little bit. Green Goblin overpowers Spider-Man easily and gets away. Spider-Man looks in terror at the crowd, with Jameson exclaiming Spider-Man's menace status and more than fifty dead bodies turn up with over three hundred people injured...
 * 15) The Green Goblin has enslaved Liz Allen, Rajit Ratha, and Mark Raxton all at separate locations. The Goblin quietly returns to Osborn Mansion and takes off his armor, revealing none other than Norman, who killed all those Board members as a way of saying "thank you" for firing him from Oscorp. Norman walks through his penthouse and turns on the television with an eerie message reporting all the lives lost at Times Square. Norman seems conflicted and goes under his secret staircase; the lair he is keeping his armor, explosive bombs, and a formula known as Globulin Green at. Globulin Green is what turned him into the Green Goblin and Norman laughs, with the voice of the Goblin in his head saying that Norman did good. Norman blends in with the Goblin because Norman and the Goblin are not two different people; Norman has always been insane. Norman then hears Emily in his head and tries to stop it. Norman then has another flashback after passing out trying to open the container containing the symbiote and the figure in the tank (who is still unknown). Norman is with Emily the day she was diagnosed and goes through all the terrible memories again. After the flashback, Norman looks at the symbiote and smiles, knowing it can be of use later on if Globulin Green does not cooperate. Meanwhile, Harry was hit in the head in Times Square and Peter gets off a call with Mary Jane, who is at the Bugle where everything is loaded and everyone is either freaking out or mourning the deaths of the lives lost at Times Square. After getting off the phone and texting Miles to make sure he got home safe, Peter and Harry talk about the Green Goblin. Harry says that the city was always crazy, but once he returns from Europe, it has gotten even crazier. Harry asks Peter; "What was that thing anyways?" Peter says, "I don't know, Harry. I don't know.... but whatever it is, somebody has to stop it"...
 * 16) Peter feels guilt-ridden that he could not stop the Goblin from killing all those people in Times Square. Yuri asks Spider-Man to come over to the precinct to meet her there. Yuri is reporting on all the dead bodies and claims the Goblin is crazier than even Octavius was. Spider-Man shares his guilt, but Yuri urges him not to put that blame on himself. Their first action is finding the three remaining OBO members; Mark Raxton, Rajit Ratha, and Liz Allen, a woman Peter attended high school with. Yuri announces a citywide hunt for the three OBO members and Spider-Man tracks them down using a chemicals trace from the Goblin, where he discovers Globulin Green, the formula that is empowering and enhancing the Green Goblin. Spider-Man ends up finding Raxton in a cage trapped with explosives and sharp objects; some street thugs are seen fondling with Raxton, claiming the Goblin paid them "bank" to torture Raxton. Spider-Man saves Raxton and apologizes for what happened at Times Square. Raxton says he blames the Goblin and does not know the reasoning behind why the Goblin came after the Board members right after they fired Norman. Peter has a hunch on Norman and Spider-Man suggests that Norman is the Goblin, but Raxton says, "Osborn was always a crazy man, but he would never go this far". Spider-Man has flashbacks of Otto saying that Norman is reckless and evil. Raxton has lost his home and entire career after the Square attack. Spider-Man urges Raxton to give what is left of him and go to FEAST if he can. Raxton gives Spider-Man a tip that Liz Allen, his half-sister, is somewhere holed up in Staten Island, as he saw the Goblin take her to that island after the attack and Ratha is unknown.
 * 17) Peter goes to work at ESU and is still clouded by the fact that he could be quitting his job to start that business with Harry. Peter struggles within himself on whether or not he should tell Warren about his thought of resigning and starting a co-business. Warren, as always, is too obsessed with his work and ignores Peter the whole day treating him as inferior. Peter then tells himself, "I'm going nowhere with this job". After work, Peter calls Harry and tells him that the business idea sounds great and that he is going to put in his two-week notice report to Warren and the ESU staff very soon. Harry asks Peter if he is alright, considering the last two days after the Square attack have been hectic. Peter ensures Harry he is fine and that Harry should get some rest from the "bump on his head". Peter suits up and goes to Staten Island to find Liz Allen, asking around the tourist attractions and areas of where Allen might be. Spider-Man eventually finds Allen in a eerie storage facility with an accelerate-ready glider ready to impale her. Spider-Man's spider sense tingles and the glider almost impales her until Spider-Man luckily saves her in time. Spider-Man asks Allen if she is alright and Allen says that the Goblin is a scary figure that must be destroyed. Spider-Man makes sure she gets to safety, but when the glider, which Spider-Man and Allen find out is a secondary deploy, is rigged to explode, Spider-Man escapes the unit with Allen and gets her to the nearby hospital, but Allen is worried that the Goblin is going to eventually find her and kill her himself as he said he would. Spider-Man gives Allen his radio comms in case anything ever happens and she thanks him.
 * 18) Spider-Man updates Yuri on the locations of Liz Allen and Mark Raxton; Liz is scared she is going to be killed by the Goblin and Raxton is now at FEAST after losing his job and life. Yuri does her part and orders a unit to help protect Ms. Allen at all moments of the day and Yuri, knowing Michaels, contacts Dr. Michaels and asks him to keep an eye on Raxton. Spider-Man and Yuri find it interesting that Donald Menken made it out completely clean as Oscorp Industries is now beginning to thrive under him. Yuri, however, states that Menken is harmless and the least of their worries at the moment and that they need to find Rajit Ratha. Spider-Man throws the idea that he thinks Norman could be the Green Goblin; Yuri calls him crazy, but Spider-Man plays on logic and says it is too much to be a coincidence that Green Goblin appears the day after Norman gets fired from the OBO; who else would have an agenda on the OBO besides Norman? Yuri then reluctantly sees his point and fears for the worst. Spider-Man continues on to find Ratha. Spider-Man investigates Norman's penthouse to try and confirm his suspicion. Harry is there, however, and Spider-Man feels bad, believing Harry is in possible danger if Spider-Man's suspicions about Norman are true. Spider-Man sees Norman who does not even greet his own son, nor does Harry greet Norman. Spider-Man finds this strange at first, but remembers Harry has always stated that he never had a liking for his father. Harry goes to sleep for the night and Norman enters a secret room underground. Spider-Man follows along without making noise and spies; Ratha is down there and down there is a secret room with all the Goblin equipment; the prototype armor, the bombs, and Globulin Green; the trace Spider-Man find when he was finding Mark Raxton. Spider-Man, after confirming that Norman is the Green Goblin, tries to go and help Ratha. Ratha tells him that he is not scared of Norman and that Norman will have what is coming to him soon enough. While Norman is upstairs and getting ready to kill Ratha, Spider-Man gets information on Ratha about Globulin Green; Ratha knows that the formula was created by a group of scientists years ago; Norman worked on it and doctors such as Mendel Stromm and Curt Connors himself enhanced it and made it what it is today; the formula was meant to cure Norman and Harry and that's where the Devil's Breath came into play. Norman finally went crazy and Globulin Green turned him into the Green Goblin. Spider-Man hides when Norman comes in with none other than the prototype armor and the crazed green-mutated face and readies himself to impale Ratha with the glider. Green Goblin laughs and claims, "This city needs someone like me. Not Spider-Man. Me". Spider-Man tries to stop Green Goblin and does, saving Ratha, whose left leg gets impaled by the glider. Spider-Man and the Green Goblin go toe-to-toe outside, with the Green Goblin carrying this black-substance like goo known as the symbiote. Spider-Man fights the Goblin and tries to keep Ratha secure, but Goblin successfully kills Ratha with a bomb and disintegrates him. Spider-Man pushes harder to stop the Goblin in order to not risk anymore lives from being stolen. Spider-Man and the Green Goblin's fight is taken just near the Daily Bugle as Jameson, Eddie, and MJ watch in horror and although Jameson has always ranted about Spider-Man, he tells all his folks at the Bugle to get down and cover themselves in case anything happens. MJ grows worried when the Green Goblin manages to overpower Spider-Man and beat him to a pulp and Kid Arachnid comes in and swing kicks the Goblin, doing no damage and the Goblin sidelines him like it is nothing. Kid Arachnid tries to web up the Goblin and save Spider-Man, but fails in doing so. During the brutal fight, Spider-Man and the Green Goblin cause the symbiote to escape from the vile and latch onto Spider-Man. Spider-Man gets an eerie feeling in himself and feels a lot better and launches the Goblin across the plaza in Chelsea; the symbiote makes Spider-Man very angry and ten times stronger and more aggressive. Spider-Man can lash symbiotic linings onto his enemy and is much stronger and can take down much easier. Spider-Man manages to overpower the Goblin, who takes nothing of the fight and as Kid Arachnid, MJ, and the rest of the Bugle look in shock as Spider-Man beats the Goblin to a pulp on the ground and prevents the glider from stabbing him. Spider-Man downs the Goblin just as the police arrive and Yuri orders Spider-Man to calm himself. A giant crowd of civilians circle the scene and a Bugle helicopter with Eddie taking pictures arises from above Spider-Man. The Bugle headline on the television reads, "Spider-Man beats the Goblin to a pulp". The scene switches between Aaron Davis at his condo in Chinatown, Harry at the penthouse, Wilson Fisk in his cell at Ryker's, Liz Allen at the Queens Medical Facility, and Mark Raxton and Dr. Michaels at FEAST and see their reactions. The Green Goblin grows weaker and mutates back to Norman, who shows his face and the Jameson exclaims, "Of course it is; You're a coward, Osborn". Norman is humiliated and Spider-Man picks up and says, "Now the city knows you're not the man you portrayed yourself to be". Spider-Man throws Norman on the ground, angrier and more aggressive than ever. Yuri then tells Norman he is under arrest and the city watches and does not do anything; Norman then tells himself in his head; "After all these years, they've finally found out you're a bad man". Norman is thrown into the police car and an aggressive officer tells him Ryker's will sentence him to death with all the lives taken at Times Square; the officer spits on Norman for killing his daughter at the Square. Norman keeps a blank expression and Spider-Man swings away, with everyone including the likes of Yuri, the NYPD, Black Cat, Kid Arachnid, MJ, Jameson, and Eddie (who takes a quick photo) watching as he does. Spider-Man goes on the nearby rooftop and looks at his new black suit, amazed and confused at the same time...
 * 19) The following day, New York feels different; the city has gotten quieter and crime has been low all day with almost nothing happening. Spider-Man swings around in his new black suit and loves the feeling he gets from it; he feels physically great. With the few crimes happening and Yuri asking what the deal with the new suit is, Spider-Man goes around and stops crimes in both Manhattan and Queens (setting up a side story mission involving the Beetle and communication towers in Queens) with his newfound abilities and beats criminals even easier than he has before. Spider-Man feels greater than ever with all the joy that has come out of locking Norman up. Miles is on the roof of Uncle Aaron's condo in Chinatown doing his homework with scars from the Green Goblin (which Miles lied to Aaron about getting beat up in school; even though Miles is quite popular in school and never gets picked on). Spider-Man asks Miles if he is alright and examines the new suit. Miles digs the suit and Spider-Man shows him the abilities. The two talk about Norman and how the city is now safe and that both Spider-Man and Miles can relax at least a little bit. Spider-Man and Miles remembers Connors is still out on the loose and Spider-Man bluntly ensures Miles he is on the case. Spider-Man swings away and gets phoned by both MJ and Harry; MJ asks him why he beat Norman to a pulp and Spider-Man tells her she needs to relax and look at the positive; Norman is now in Ryker's and will not be able to harm anyone else. MJ says that she has never seen him that violent before (even during events in his life such as when he took down Wilson Fisk and fought the Sinister Six). Spider-Man tells her not to worry, but she does; Eddie has already come up with an outline calling Spider-Man a menace and Spider-Man just throws it off. In Harry's call, Harry tells Peter that he is so happy his father is locked up. Harry tells Peter they should start getting to fund the business soon; Peter tells Harry to meet him at Peter's apartment the following day (since the penthouse is on lockdown after the police find out Rajit Ratha was there with the Goblin).
 * 20) Norman is being escorted to his cell in Ryker's, where all the inmates are spitting at him and yelling out offensive terms towards Norman. Norman is clearly not mentally-able and tries to break from his handcuffs; his hair is all messy and his eyes are green from the overdose of Globulin Green. Norman shares a cell with Fisk and Fisk intimidates him, "Well, well, well... if it isn't the former Mayor of New York AND the former head of Oscorp himself. How are you doing, old friend?" Norman does not reply and Norman has an inner battle within himself reliving the past few days; getting fired by the Board, going crazy, suiting up and killing all the innocent people at Times Square (which he has no remorse for), successfully murdering Rajit Ratha, and being humiliated by Spider-Man, who now has the symbiote. Norman and Fisk are then released from their cell to eat dinner and Fisk laughs saying, "This shithole is going to be way more entertaining with you her now, Osborn". A guard tells Osborn that the city of New York is currently in court deciding whether or not Norman should face capital punishment.
 * 21) The next day, Peter meets Harry at Peter's apartment and they begin discussing the business. Harry notices Peter is a lot more enthusiastic and charming and Peter just lies that he feels a lot safer with Norman/the Goblin gone. The business has a fundamental layout; the business will revolve around preserving New York's environment and helping clients in need of their environmental problems. Peter's savings account is at $50,000 and Harry's is at a whopping $2.5 million. The two, even with Harry's riches, decide to split half and half on a $100,000 budget to start the business. Peter and Harry go throughout Manhattan and look for units they can base their operations around. Two weeks later, they found a place in Midtown and they initially were going to name the business, "Parker & Osborn Industries", but Harry does not want to, as the Osborn name is cursed and he does not want to think about his father anymore. The two come up with a name; "Horizon Labs". Business starts slow at first, but the two are smart enough to know that it will grow. Peter comes in for his last day at ESU and farewells Dr. Warren, who is surprisingly angry and sad that Peter is going to leave. Warren violently touches Peter and Peter pushes him. Peter says, "Good luck with business, Warren". The symbiote speaks to him and says, "Let that low human being cry, Parker". Peter smiles and leaves and Warren strikes a disturbing face on himself as Peter leaves.
 * 22) Peter reminds MJ that he has finally quit his job at ESU and is now working full-time at Horizon Labs with Harry. They have hired only two scientists and business is slowly growing. MJ is happy for Peter and Peter says with the symbiote now at his disposal and Horizon with Harry; his life is getting better. MJ warns Peter not to get too attached to the symbiote and expresses her concern, but Peter sidelines her concern instead. After two weeks in prison, Norman and Fisk have been cooking a grand plan up; Fisk manages to convince Ryker's and convinces Ray Donovan, a Hell's Kitchen lawyer who is paid handsomely to get Fisk paroled. Fisk is eventually paroled and before he goes, an ill-faced Norman tells him to keep Spider-Man and the city in check; Norman tells Fisk that Curt Connors is still out there and that Connors needs to be killed, as Connors went after the Devil's Breath and he was one of the creators of Globulin Green, which the FBI and NYPD are both investigating; Norman tasks Fisk with putting the city under his place, to capture or kill Connors, and keep Spider-Man in check; Norman gives Fisk the number of a hunter known as Sergei Kravinoff, an old colleague of Norman's who can help Fisk hunt down Connors. Meanwhile, Spider-Man swings around the city and notices a new presence in New York; the Russian mafia. Spider-Man fears this is Sable International, but it is not; instead, this mafia is equipped with modern technology, bows/arrows, and is extremely skilled at hand-to-hand combat. Spider-Man, along with Black Cat, who digs the new suit Spider-Man has, puts mafia operations out of commission and asks himself; what is the mafia doing here? Shortly after, a BREAKING NEWS article shows up on Spider-Man's phone saying, "BREAKING NEWS: Wilson Fisk Officially Paroled off Ryker's Island". Spider-Man and Black Cat look at each other and the city fears as Wilson steps onto a platform near the old Fisk Tower to make a grand speech. The crowd is split on hating him and loving him; half of the crowd knows that Fisk was the operator behind organized crime for eight years, but the other half thinks that Spider-Man just made Fisk look like a bad guy. Fisk makes a speech about how Norman Osborn's arrest shook the city, but Fisk came back in light of that and wanted to protect the dear city he cares so much about. Fisk uses his lies and deceit to deny his actions for eight years and says that Spider-Man is the enemy...
 * 23) The day after Fisk's parole, the city is split on the media; Mayor Jameson believes Fisk is trying to renew himself and even Brock agrees with that, kissing up to Jameson's beliefs, but MJ and the rest of the Bugle staff believe Fisk is still that same man they locked up one year ago. Meanwhile, Peter is trying to establish all of this in his mind and with the sudden immersion of the Russian mafia, Peter knows that their rise cannot be just a tiny coincidence and that they have to be related to Fisk in some way. Spider-Man goes out on night patrol and finds any information he can regarding the mafia and if they have connection to Fisk; Black Cat helps him through this hunch and they eventually find out that the mafia was paid massively by the Fisk Foundation; Fisk kept his profits even after his arrest. Meanwhile, Fisk reopens Fisk Tower and looks down on the skyline of Manhattan, seeing the entire view in his eyes. Fisk knows that Norman told him to watch the city and put the city in his place on Norman's behalf. Fisk is greeted by his Secretary, who invites in Sergei Kravinoff, world-renowned hunter and collector of animals; has killed multiple exotic species in Wakanda, Italy, and all around the world; Kravinoff is tasked by Fisk, under the orders of Norman, to hunt down Dr. Connors and kill him, as Connors is the last piece to Norman's legacy with the failed Devil's Breath. Kravinoff complies with this and also sets his eyes on Spider-Man; this is all heard by Black Cat, who managed to bypass Fisk security.
 * 24) Black Cat informs Spider-Man of what he has uncovered from Fisk Tower; Spider-Man is not even worried about Kraven, but is worried for Connors. Spider-Man gets a little pent up (due to the anger of the symbiote), but decides to find Connors at all means necessary. Spider-Man calls MJ and decides to go to her apartment for a bit; she is doing research on Fisk's return and currently, Eddie is on the high ground with the promotion. Peter comforts her and MJ notices he seems a bit different after the symbiote. MJ advises him again to watch out, as he does not even know what the symbiote truly is besides the fact that it was made by Norman. Peter suits up once more and calls Miles to get relay on all the surveillance footage they used earlier to track down Connors's old house, place of work, and the sewers Spider-Man last encountered him in. At the house, Spider-Man finds pictures of Billy and Martha, in whom ran away from Connors years ago after his first transformation into the Lizard. Spider-Man remembers the time and finds clues of the Lizard here; marks on the floor. Spider-Man goes to ESU Labs, the place Connors worked right after retiring from Oscorp; Spider-Man just then remembers that Connors was one of the creators of Globulin Green, which Spider-Man finds files of; Connors and Stromm both entered a pit of despair after helping Norman create Globulin Green (this leads into a side mission involving Stromm, saving him from the Russian mafia, and learning more about Globulin Green's past; one of the side mission story arcs that are vital to the main story). At the ESU Labs, Spider-Man swears that he spotted Dr. Warren there stalking him. Spooked, Spider-Man heads to the sewers. At the sewers, Spider-Man finds the Lizard and tries to warn him that the Kingpin is after him and has sent a dangerous hunter after him. The Lizard notices Spider-Man's new black suit and claims he knows; that is why he is running away. Shortly after, Kraven stuns the Lizard and holds him captive and tries to take down Spider-Man, but fails. The mafia puts down a barrier shield separating Spider-Man from the Lizard and Kraven. Kraven introduces himself and the two butt heads. Kraven says that Spider-Man will be his last prize and that he is only going after the "reptile" (Connors) because Fisk had ordered him to and killing Spider-Man is only in his personal agenda. Spider-Man cannot break the barrier in time and Kraven gets away with the Lizard; Spider-Man escapes the sewers after using a secret beacon device he puts on the Lizard before they run off.
 * 25) Spider-Man locates Connors at a mafia hideout located in Queens; Spider-Man bypasses the mafia's guards and saves Connors, who is back to his normal self. Spider-Man and Connors talk for a bit and Connors questions his sanity; Connors says that he feels guilty and stupid for going after the Devil's Breath, which doesn't even exist anymore. Spider-Man manages to sneakily get by the mafia and avoid detection from Kraven, who later learns of Connors's disappearance and grows furious, ordering the mafia to do a citywide manhunt and brings out the Rhino, also known as Aleksei Sytsevich, one of Spider-Man's longtime foes, to help the mafia do so.
 * 26) With Connors safe (and revealing to the audience that Connors has known what Spider-Man's secret identity was for years) in Peter's apartment, Peter continues his business at Horizon Labs and business is growing. Peter and Harry conduct research at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and get insight on the sustainable energy they need to work on regulating. After work, Peter and Harry go out to dinner and discuss ideas on their grant approval and how to get the Horizon Labs vote of the majority of New York. After discussing ideas, Peter checks up on Harry and makes sure he is fine even after everything going on with his name and the publicity Major Jameson is giving him due to him being the son of Norman; Harry is surprisingly handling everything very well...
 * 27) The Rhino and the mafia go on a rampage in the city; they do this to draw Spider-Man out to their sight and possibly subdue him to force him to reveal the whereabouts of Connors. Spider-Man notices they have taken many civilian hostages in bomb-filled proximity in Terrance Heights, Bayswater, and Parsons Beach in Queens and in the Chelsea area in Manhattan. Spider-Man must locate the hostages and ends up saving all of them with a few casualties. Spider-Man is enraged by this and utterly beats the life out of the mafia operators and heavy gunners. The Rhino uses Officer Jim Hernandez, a dedicated officer in Yuri's force, as bait to draw out Spider-Man. Spider-Man saves Hernandez, but the Rhino is gone. Spider-Man swears to find the Rhino and end him...
 * 28) Spider-Man demands the coordinates of the Rhino from the NYPD and after the NYPD manage to track Rhino through disruption signals throughout the city, Spider-Man bluntly ignores Yuri, who offers help to take down the Rhino, as the last time Spider-Man faced Rhino, he barely made it out. Spider-Man urges them to back off and they do so; Yuri orders her officers to back off. Yuri tells her officers that Spider-Man is slowly becoming an asshole. Spider-Man rushes to where the Rhino is. The fight is a two-way, with the Rhino owning an enhanced suit that he is stuck with (even though his skin is impenetrable). The Rhino proves to be a great threat and has upped his skills from the previous three years when Spider-Man first fought him, but his intelligence is still not there. Spider-Man manages to find a weak spot and Spider-Man beats Rhino up, breaks his armor and throws him across two blocks. Citizens witness this and are terrified. Sytsevich surrenders and pleads for his life, but Spider-Man continues on beating him up and lifts a car and almost kills the Rhino. Spider-Man's gut tells him not to after he sees civilians looking at him. Spider-Man stops and swings away, leaving Rhino so injured that he cannot stand up; Rhino is left for Ryker's security to take.
 * 29) Mayor Jameson gives multiple speeches and even reignited his iconic talkshow for propaganda against Spider-Man; the city is divided. 60% of the population believe Spider-Man is not the same hero they all knew and loved for nine years and the other 40% still believe he is a hero. Peter ignores his propaganda, as it is only going to bring him down even further. At the Bugle, Eddie is starting a hunch to make Jameson's propaganda believable; Brock is dirty with his work and has hired a fake Spider-Man to do robbery stunts. Peter notices this and suits up, stopping Brock. This only influences Brock greater; he knows he WILL get that staff position...
 * 30) With three days passing and the mafia unable to track Connors, Peter helps Connors push back to his regular self; Connors is traumatized by being in the mental hospital, losing his son and wife, and now being chased down by the world's most dangerous hunter and a terrorist group. MJ learns about Peter keeping Connors in his apartment; MJ questions this and Peter only tells her not to worry about his life. MJ worries for Peter, but Peter continues to nurse Connors and keep him under the radar. Peter and Connors, whilst the nursing, catches up. Peter admits Connors was always a father to him and Connors knows that Peter is still traumatized about what happened to May, Otto, and even Martin Li, but the symbiote is just driving his anger. With Peter conflicted, Connors ensures him that he may be crazy, but he will be able to help Peter in any way he can. Peter suits up and goes to Horizon Labs to help Harry close for the night; the grant approval for the NYSDEC has their majority vote. Harry tells Peter that some "sketchy-looking" guys were scoping out Horizon. Harry let his scientists finish current projects for the night while he checked them out. Apparently, the guys were actually in the mafia. Peter gets pent up for a minute, but Harry finishes and says that the mafia was scoping Horizon because they thought they could get the Oscorp security password from Harry, as CEO Menken cut all ties to Norman, therefore all ties to Fisk and Kravinoff. The mafia was ordered by Kravinoff to not hurt Harry (showing that Kraven is not willing to hurt young adults); instead, Kravinoff visited Norman to get the security password from Oscorp (Spider-Man gets this information from a scouting patrol trooper from the NYPD, who was watching Ryker's). Spider-Man must go to Oscorp and find out what the mafia wants with Oscorp and has finally found out that Norman is in fact using Fisk from the inside. Spider-Man goes to the Oscorp Facility in Harlem. Spider-Man calls Connors and finds out that that specific facility is where Connors and Stromm helped Norman build Globulin Green. Spider-Man goes there and fends off the mafia patrolling the facility; turns out that the mafia is actually securing Globulin Green. Spider-Man cannot access the code to bypass the security, but his best bet at the moment is to weaken the mafia before they cause more chaos upon the streets. Meanwhile, Fisk, behind the scenes with his son, Richard Fisk, beside him and in the Foundation as a believer for his father's cause, has ordered Kraven to hunt down Connors himself while the mafia secure Globulin Green.
 * 31) Mayor Jameson's talkshow reignites the fact that Fisk is never seen in public and has only made a few speeches to the public; he spends most of his time working for the Foundation, which is helping a lot of people and building Fisk the publicity and good image he previously had. Eddie has gotten more "points" on the staff job, but MJ will not give up. Meanwhile, after eating Chinese takeout dinner with Uncle Aaron, Miles tells Aaron that he is going to a study group to study for his midterm exams. Aaron smiles and tells Miles that keeping with those books will prevent Miles from turning into a lowlife like Aaron. Miles tells Aaron that he looks up to Aaron and Aaron says, "I know, son. I know". Miles suits up as Kid Arachnid and calls Peter. Peter, who is building several radio commissions from Fisk's network, answers the phone annoyed; Miles tells Peter he can help Peter stop Kraven and Fisk, but Peter tells Miles he can do it alone. Peter ignores Miles and introduces Connors to Miles, with Connors realizing he has been gone so long that there are now two Spider-Men in the city. Kid Arachnid himself goes after Fisk, attempting to find Kraven and even takes out a few of the mafia going to other Oscorp facilities to see if there are other samples of Globulin Green (Norman is so mentally unstable at Ryker's that he does not tell Fisk or Kravinoff whether or not there is one or more samples). Fisk notices Kid Arachnid and phones in the "big guy". Richard thinks this is Kravinoff, but Fisk tells Richard that Kravinoff is too busy looking for Connors. Fisk says, "the OTHER big guy". Fisk reveals none other than the purple and gold high-tech criminal known as the Prowler (who stole from Roxxon and TriCorp for his equipment), who works for Fisk. Fisk's guards stand their ground and Fisk orders Prowler to hunt down Kid Arachnid and kill him. Prowler looks straight at the footage of Kid Arachnid taking down the mafia and says, "With pleasure, boss". Fisk says that Kid Arachnid is just another loose end and that it just stops any distraction from the big goals; capturing Connors, reclaiming New York, and destroying Spider-Man's image.
 * 32) Spider-Man gets a call from Yuri, but ignores her. Spider-Man realizes that with Fisk's equipment, the mafia were able to track down Connors through a general area; they find out Connors is holed up somewhere in that proximity. Peter suits up and moves Connors; Connors tells Peter he knows a place. Connors had a lab in the sewers during his time as the Lizard that should still be there. Spider-Man goes through a bunch of sewer pipes and the two end up at Connors's old lab in the sewers. Spider-Man ensures that Connors will be safe here for now.
 * 33) Business is booming at Horizon Labs; Peter and Harry have gotten the approval from Mayor Jameson and the Department of Environment Protection for their grant and they begin a whole schematic on a way to clean out all the wastes in the Greenwich, Chelsea, and Midtown areas. During their inspection, Peter notices Fisk has sent out a few men to congratulate Peter and Harry on their success; Peter overhears Fisk knowing the security code to Globulin Green. After work, Peter suits up and intercepts a Fisk bodyguard and interrogates him on the security code. Fisk's bodyguard replays a track of Fisk repeating the code to his son, Richard. Spider-Man is surprised Fisk has a son, but does not let that distract him from his mission. Spider-Man goes to the Oscorp facility in Harlem and goes to get Globulin Green without being detected by Menken, who is almost fearless because he was not afraid of the Green Goblin and he is not currently afraid of Fisk or Kravinoff. Spider-Man, from hearing Fisk's telecommunication, knows that this is the only vile of Globulin Green there is. Spider-Man takes it; when the mafia send their stealth group into the facility, they find no Globulin Green. Fisk is enraged and ends up slamming one of his staff members to the ground and kills him...
 * 34) Peter checks his phone; he has nine missed calls from MJ. Peter tries calling her to tell him that she is fine and MJ, on the other side, is staring at her cable. MJ tries to pick up the phone, but Peter hangs up shortly after. Peter suits up as Spider-Man and goes to the underground lab in the sewers with Globulin Green. Connors is very familiar with Globulin Green; Spider-Man helps Connors extract the venomous toxins from the Green and locate it's weak points to destroy it. Spider-Man eventually takes the Green to the wastes of the sewers and dumps the vile there.
 * 35) Fisk has moved something from Oscorp Tower to Fisk Tower (without the knowledge of Donald Menken, who the mafia were able to distract); that giant metal container containing the unknown figure. The container is closed and Kraven, Prowler, and one of Fisk's executive assistants are in the van carrying the container. Prowler is very quiet and Kraven acknowledges this remark, but says nothing, as he respects that. Kraven asks the assistant why Fisk wants the container so bad; apparently, the container is very important to Norman and Norman does not trust the container in the hands of Menken. Meanwhile, the rest of the mafia is overpowering the NYPD and multiple officers from Yuri's force is either killed or goes missing; Spider-Man does not help and has been keeping Connors safe from Kraven, with the symbiote's influence growing stronger and stronger every breathing second he uses the substance. When Yuri is being overpowered and almost loses a fight against a mafia prime, Kid Arachnid jumps in and saves her. Yuri thanks Kid Arachnid and reminds him that Spider-Man is not helping her at all; he has been so caught up. She thinks it has something to do with his new black suit. Kid Arachnid agrees, but tries his best to help Yuri fight back against the mafia, who have basically taken over the entirety of the Financial District. Coincidentally, the van carrying the container just arrived at Fisk Tower and Fisk and Prowler sees all the hellfire breaking between the NYPD and mafia in the Financial District; he looks over to Prowler, who is already gone. Kid Arachnid sees Prowler, who lunges dangerously and takes out multiple NYPD officers. Kid Arachnid is terrified and must run away. Yuri tries shooting at Prowler, but Prowler dodges all of her shots with his enhanced equipment. Kid Arachnid attempts fighting the super-powered criminal, but he kicks Kid Arachnid's ass. Kid Arachnid manages to escape and urges Yuri to hide. Miles takes off his suit and lands in the alleyway near Uncle Aaron's condo. Aaron just got home and Miles webs up his wounds. Aaron sees the distressed Miles and helps his nephew and Miles says he got jumped on his way home by petty criminals. Aaron tells him to rest and promises to teach Miles some fight moves to defend himself later on. Miles agrees to his request and goes to sleep...
 * 36) Spider-Man visits Connors in the lab and Connors has secretly been working up a sample to try and cure his missing arm. Spider-Man firmly tells Connors that is a bad idea, but Connors tells Spider-Man that he has lost so much in the years and it has started with his arm. Spider-Man and Connors have a verbal argument and Spider-Man grows violent. Connors tells Spider-Man/Peter that he is the only person in Connors's life that has not run away or died. Spider-Man stops for a minute, but the symbiote influences him. Then, in a quick moment of unexpectedness, Spider-Man's spider sense (which is way more powerful with the symbiote) goes nuts. The mafia is searching through the sewers and Kraven is with them; there are over two hundred mafia primes and mafia heavies going through the sewers with explosive arrows; Spider-Man protects Connors, who the mafia fires at. Spider-Man fights off the horde of two hundred and must constantly move Connors to different locations in the sewers, but Kraven is smart; they cannot hide from him. Connors tells Spider-Man he must do what he has to to end his misery; Connors injects himself with the cooked sample and turns into a monstrous and much bigger version of the Lizard. The Lizard is impenetrable to the explosive arrows and equipment the mafia fires at him and kills a bunch of them. Spider-Man worries less about the mafia members being slaughtered, but Kraven ends up fighting the Lizard. While Kraven duels off the Lizard and Spider-Man duels off Kraven and the Lizard (whose mind is affected gravely by the sample), making a three-way battle that destroys a bunch of sewer pipes and causes drainage in the sewers, Kraven admits that he is not weak-minded enough to kill the Lizard when he is human; that is what cowards do. Kraven manages to overpower the Lizard and stabs him multiple times with poisonous knives. Kraven picks up the Lizard and as Spider-Man screams, "CONNORS!!!"; Kraven kills the Lizard. Kraven goes away and tells Spider-Man that they will meet again and that Spider-Man will be his grand hunt. Spider-Man goes over to the nearly-deceased Connors, who holds onto his breath and mutters Peter that with him dead, he has finally found peace within himself. Connors holds Peter's arm and dies in Peter's arms. Spider-Man is enraged and has so many conflicting emotions; anger that Connors was killed by Kraven, but he has also lost his father figure like he has so many times in the past. The symbiote suggests Spider-Man take a "jab" at Kraven and end his spree.
 * 37) The next day, news gets out to the city that Connors has died after the NYPD environmental inspection went into the sewers and discovered multiple deceased bodies of mafia and forensic data of Connors's lab; since the sewers had a massive drainage after Spider-Man's fight with Kraven and the Lizard, Harry notices Peter has not come in to Horizon and tries to call him, but continues on with his work anyways; he orders his scientists to scan forensic data on the drainage and help remove as many toxins as they can. After Mayor Jameson makes a speech and is dramatically serious for once, stating that Connors's death has shocked even him, the Mayor says the city is different and that Spider-Man is only helping escalate the situation, as forensic data has found that Spider-Man has been helping Connors escape his crimes the entire time (the public does not know the mafia and Kravinoff have been targeting Connors specifically, however). MJ and Eddie hears the news and MJ, after work, knocks on Peter's apartment door. Peter is not there and MJ leaves a letter by his doorway. The symbiote encourages Spider-Man to take down the mafia scouting throughout the entire city from Manhattan, Staten Island, and Queens, in order to draw out Kraven. Kraven calls Spider-Man through a communication chip he stole from an NYPD officer he killed; Kraven tells Spider-Man to meet him at Central Park. Spider-Man fights Kraven to the death in the park and the fight is very two-way, as the symbiote is enhancing Spider-Man's senses, enabling him to detect Kraven easier through the trees in the park. Kraven has a big mouth and is so enthused to kill Spider-Man that he is willing to kill other civilians too; he reveals he has a girl about to be hanged in the castle area of the park. Spider-Man saves her and gets her to safety. Spider-Man goes through a maze to find Kraven and beats Kraven to a pulp. Kraven punches Spider-Man in the face and injures him badly, but the symbiote heals the suit's wounds and empowers Spider-Man even more. Spider-Man goes on top of Kraven and subdues him. Spider-Man kicks Kraven around like an animal, Kraven is weakened and does not back down, but Spider-Man just continues beating on him. Spider-Man then webs Kraven up and the symbiote tells Spider-Man to "finish him". But Spider-Man does not. Kraven smiles and as Kraven is handcuffed by Yuri, Yuri looks at Kraven's broken teeth, bloodied face, and bruised body. She looks disgusted at Spider-Man and Spider-Man swings away in silence. Spider-Man must return to his apartment; Peter is so close to the symbiote now that his mind can tell the symbiote when he does not wish to wear the suit for the day. Peter walks through his dark apartment and the television turns on; multiple televisions appear on the screen; one citing the death of Curt Connors, Kid Arachnid dead, Kraven not being able to walk, and the Green Goblin breaking out of prison and killing multiple innocents in New York. Peter is overwhelmed by this and wakes up to a bright morning in New York. Fighting Kraven was all in his dream, but when Peter gets up to eat breakfast, he turns on the television to see a bruised and bloodied Kraven in Central Park; Yuri and company found Kraven and took him in to be in SHIELD custody. Peter finds out the symbiote did this all in his sleep. The symbiote took Peter's body and made it so that the symbiote took care of Kraven. The symbiote tells Peter, "You're not strong enough to beat him yourself, Parker". Peter is mad at the symbiote, but relents and only cares that Kraven is gone now, at least. Peter reads the letter from MJ left on his doorstep; the letter reads MJ telling Peter that Peter has not been seeing her lately and that she is always here for him if he ever needs it; she heard about Connors's death. Peter throws the letter.
 * 38) Fisk, after hearing about Kraven's death, is enraged. The screen cuts to Norman, whose body is decaying of the Globulin Green in Ryker's. Norman is mentally unstable, but can still talk. Norman sees one of Fisk's bodyguards visit him and sighs, but the bodyguard is not there to talk to Norman. Instead, the bodyguard is there to talk to the inmate right next to Norman's cell; the cell of Roderick Kingsley, the fashion designer Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid took down (during the very beginning of the game). Kingsley whispers something to the bodyguard and Norman grows hysterical, asking him what he is telling the bodyguard. Kingsley intimidatingly stares at Norman and says nothing and the bodyguard reports back to Fisk; Kingsley is willing to give Fisk a sum of all the stolen materials Kingsley has stolen (which are all worth a total sum of $500,000) if Fisk is willing to give Kingsley a portion of the Globulin Green from the facility in Staten Island (the same one Liz Allen was trapped in earlier; this also reveals there is still Globulin Green out in the city and Spider-Man only destroyed one sample). The verdict; Fisk has betrayed Norman and after Kraven failed to take in or kill Spider-Man (but succeeding in killing Connors), Fisk does not trust Norman, driving Norman insane in his cell; Fisk will re-control the city by his own wit and not Norman's from now on. Meanwhile, Peter goes to Horizon Labs for work after missing out two days with no call. Harry is a little worked up and asks Peter what was wrong and Peter's inner self is so conflicted. Peter finally tells Harry that the last two days have been terrible and Harry acknowledges the fact that Peter must be worked up after Connors's death. Harry pats his brother on the back and tells Peter that he understands. Harry is just worked up because of the sewer drainage from Spider-Man and Kraven's brutal fight in the sewers, which also involved Connors. Peter and Harry work on fixing the drainage to try and get out as many toxins as possible. MJ visits Horizon after the day is done, but MJ goes to Peter and hugs him, who does not hug her back. MJ pulls Peter aside and asks Peter if he got her letter. Peter nods and MJ ensures Peter that she knows he has been going through a lot lately. Peter strikes an unusual look on his face and farewells Harry for the night and nods to MJ. MJ and Harry are left at Horizon and off-screen, MJ and Harry talk about Peter and how the two need to step up and help him if he needs the help.
 * 39) The mafia is no longer inflicting harm upon the streets of New York, but their bases still exist (which is a side mission). Spider-Man swings around the city and reflects, with the symbiote, on his life; Connors's death, defeating Kraven, his inner and outer war, Horizon with Harry, and his relationship with those around him and how his relationship with the symbiote is affecting those he holds dear such as Miles, MJ, and Harry and even the likes of Yuri. The symbiote encourages Spider-Man that their relationship is the reason that things are getting done. Spider-Man agrees and finds a new faction; corrupt businessmen carrying throw-ables, similar to the ones he fought when he took down Roderick Kingsley. Spider-Man takes down a plan of theirs on Staten Island (at the same facility he rescued Liz Allen from) and finds out they are smuggling Globulin Green and after interrogating a Kingsley businessman, he finds out that Kingsley is obsessed with Globulin Green and that Fisk has cut contact with Norman and is now collaborating with Kingsley behind bars. Spider-Man is surprised because he thought he destroyed all of Globulin Green. Spider-Man traces a network from the tracker device and finds out there is Globulin Green smuggled across the facility. Spider-Man must go to all of them and extract the toxins and destroy it, remembering how to do so after Connors taught him to. The Globulin Green conspiracy, in the last few days following the sewer drainage, have released to the public and many of New York's residents, including the likes of Mayor Jameson himself, are questioning the conspiracy and safety of their dear city. Meanwhile, a bodyguard nervously tells Fisk that Spider-Man destroyed all of the Globulin Green at the Staten Island facility; Fisk smiles and says he has obtained one and shows the Green, which he carries on the palm of his hands. Fisk has already ordered his attorney, Ben Donovan, to help parole Kingsley out of Ryker's.
 * 40) Kingsley has been paroled out of Ryker's (but the parole does not make BREAKING NEWS headline on the Bugle, as Kingsley is not a big name in New York like Fisk is). Kingsley meets with Fisk at Fisk Tower to discuss the Globulin Green. Kingsley pays Fisk's bodyguards and drivers to take him back to his mansion in the wealthy part of Queens. Spider-Man goes there and Kingsley keeps the Green on his porch. Spider-Man stops Kingsley from downing it and takes the Globulin Green; Kingsley was easily stopped and many of his businessmen have gathered around his mansion after hearing Spider-Man and fight him, but fail to subdue Spider-Man. Kingsley puts his mansion on lockdown...
 * 41) Fisk realizes Kingsley has failed and the Globulin Green is gone, but is unable to contact him since his mansion is on lockdown. Fisk ignores this and his only known associate now is the Prowler, who is extremely motivated and enthused to kill Kid Arachnid. Killing Kid Arachnid would draw the attention of Spider-Man, tie up that loose end, and ruin Spider-Man's reputation. Fisk knows that Kid Arachnid is basically Spider-Man's sidekick. Meanwhile, Miles, even after almost a week in healing, has not succumbed to the damages the Prowler has inflicted upon his body. Since it is the weekend, Miles must go to FEAST and put in his hours. He even called Dr. Michaels ahead of time and remind him that he is going to be a little late to work due to an injury. Michaels underestimates Miles's injury, but when Miles comes in, Michaels helps Miles heal himself and suggest ailments. Miles, despite his injures, continues his shift at FEAST. Miles notices Mark Raxton, who is bluntly staring at the television. Miles asks Raxton is he is okay; Raxton's mental state has been declining after his homelessness and blames Norman Osborn for everything. Miles gets Raxton something to drink and after work at FEAST, Miles is visited by Peter, who notices Miles's wounds. Miles tells Peter about the Prowler, but Peter tells Miles that he can take on the Prowler; Peter underestimates the Prowler's strength and abilities and says he is busy taking down Fisk. He has already taken down Kraven and Roderick Kingsley and Connors dying was because of him. Peter blames Connors's death on himself, but Miles tells Peter it was not his fault. Peter walks away. Miles suits up to swing back to Chinatown and encounters the Prowler once again, terrified more than ever. The Prowler is on a motorcycle and chases down Miles and is able to jump very high distances. Miles manages to escape and goes to sleep, but Uncle Aaron is not home just yet. Miles wakes up the next morning and finds Aaron just now coming home. Miles asks Aaron where he has been and Aaron says, "Business, son. Business". Miles believes Aaron and Aaron smiles and tells Miles to have fun at school.
 * 42) Time passes two months; the symbiote is so strong in Peter now that the entire suit is black (no matter clues of the advanced suit still existing) and Horizon Labs have blown up all over the world. Peter and Harry's business has been going great, but Eddie ended up getting that director's job at the Bugle appointed under Mayor Jameson. MJ does not back down though and continues her research and story-building for current news; Eddie is currently working on the Prowler case and finding out who he is. Eddie has a hunch that the Prowler is one of the NYPD officers and goes to question Yuri on it. The public does not trust Fisk, who is, as always, up in his tower and Prowler is out doing his dirty work. Fisk and Prowler, behind the scenes, have basically taken over the city and the Globulin Green conspiracy is being wildly discussed among Mayor Jameson, his podcast, and residents of the city. Spider-Man and the symbiote know their ultimate goal; stopping Fisk and ending his evil. Spider-Man is planning a grand attack on Fisk Tower and must interrogate multiple bodyguards on how to enter quietly (unlike how he entered Fisk Tower during the beginning of the last game). Spider-Man must obtain all the access codes, all the information on the pipe-lines, all the air vents, and the like. After obtaining all of these, Spider-Man is ready to attack Fisk Tower. Meanwhile, Fisk tells his son, Richard, to get ready to kill Spider-Man if he needs to; Fisk knows Spider-Man is plotting.
 * 43) Richard goes out with his concealed gun and is protected by multiple bodyguards from his father to go out and try to kill Spider-Man. After school, Kid Arachnid catches onto his quickly and intercepts Richard, who proves to be very skilled in martial arts. After Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid team up shortly to take down Fisk's bodyguards, but accidentally letting Richard escape and return to Fisk Tower, Spider-Man swings away and Kid Arachnid swings home only to encounter the Prowler once more. The chase leads the Prowler right to Miles's doorstep in Chinatown and the Prowler looks around for his prey, while Miles hides in fear. The Prowler exits the condo and Miles ends up safe. Miles calls Peter and informs him that the Prowler managed to break into Miles's condo in Chinatown. Peter reluctantly agrees to help Miles deal with the Prowler upon hearing this...
 * 44) Felicia uses the fact that Fisk and the Prowler are so busy dealing with the two Spider-Men and uses this chance to break into Fisk's fine penthouse right near his tower, which Fisk has left unguarded for weeks after Kraven was put down. It is revealed that Fisk stole many of Felicia's belongings years ago when she made that deal with Hammerhead (as per the DLC from the last game). Felicia must retain her exotic paintings, funds from her bank account, and gadgets Fisk stole and recreated. After obtaining all of them and running the errand to return all of those belongings to her own penthouse, Fisk notices that his penthouse has been broken into; Felicia must escape Fisk's bodyguards and ends up surviving.
 * 45) Eddie continues his hunch on the Prowler and accuses an NYPD forensic officer known as Stanley Carter for being the Prowler. Peter confronts Eddie and the Bugle about this and Mayor Jameson sees Eddie's fraud about Spider-Man and pushing fake news and exaggerating non-existent stories. Spider-Man confronts Eddie as well, telling Eddie that he is pathetic. This causes Eddie to lose his career and therefore ruins his life...
 * 46) Fisk finds out about Felicia's shenanigans, but knows that Felicia is the least of her problems; Fisk has ordered Prowler and a manhunt on Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid; he wants to Kid Arachnid killed, but Spider-Man taken in to show Spider-Man what the city's control means to Fisk. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid, even though Spider-Man is mostly not communicating with Kid Arachnid, works on evading Fisk's bodyguards and Miles eventually encounters the Prowler again and has the courage to put up a fight with him. Even Spider-Man with the power of the symbiote struggles to fight off the Prowler and the Prowler and Kid Arachnid's fight leads up to the top of a building right next to Fisk Tower. Fisk leaves his tower and goes up the flight of stairs in the building Kid Arachnid and Prowler are fighting. Prowler overpowers Kid Arachnid, brutally pummels him, and unmasks Kid Arachnid, revealing Miles, but not to Fisk, as Prowler is putting Kid Arachnid on chokehold and has his back turned to Fisk. Fisk orders the Prowler to kill Kid Arachnid and Prowler reveals himself as Aaron. Miles is shocked and is at the verge of tears. Prowler masks Miles back and Fisk demands Aaron kill him. Aaron refuses to kill Kid Arachnid, so Fisk shoots Aaron in the weak spot of the chest and shoots him multiple times in the face, killing him. Miles's life flashes before his eyes; he has lost his last remaining father figure. Kid Arachnid evades Fisk and after Spider-Man witnesses this himself, shocked, Miles takes Aaron to the condo in Chinatown. Aaron tells Miles that he is better than Aaron; Aaron is just some stinking lowlife and Aaron points at Miles's heart, telling Miles that he will not end up like Aaron and that he can aspire to be better. Aaron apologizes and says he was the Prowler in order to secure Miles's financial stability. Aaron dies in Miles's arms and Miles is left crying with Spider-Man swinging and landing behind Miles, shocked and saddened as well...
 * 47) The next day, Miles is depressed and word hits to the likes of Harry, MJ, Jameson, Dr. Michaels, Peter, and even Miles's mother, Rio, who hears of Aaron's death and promises to return to New York as soon as possible to provide Miles the care and motherly support he so needs. Harry admits, at Horizon, that he feels bad for Miles, so does MJ and even Jameson, Dr. Michaels gives Miles a paid day off from FEAST, and Peter comes to visit Miles at his Chinatown condo. Peter goes over and Miles is a mess; Miles gives Peter the silent treatment and Peter admits his wrongs and acknowledges the fact that Peter has not been there for Miles a whole lot in the past couple of months and that Peter views Miles as the younger brother he never had. Miles then finally loses it and tells Peter that Peter is selfish and cares about no one, but himself and that his Aunt May is rolling in her grave because of this. Miles reminds Peter of all the times he told Peter about Prowler and Fisk, but Peter was so busy caught up in his own world. That symbiote is changing him. Peter holds his anger, which is even strongly influenced by the symbiote, and tries to tell Miles to calm down, but Miles yells at Peter and tells him to get out of his condo. Peter exits and contemplates on his recent life decisions. Peter calls MJ for once and asks MJ to meet him at Stan's Cafe after she is done at the Bugle for the day. When MJ arrives, there is an awkward silence. Peter tells MJ he blames himself for everything that has gone down; Connors's death and Aaron Davis's death were all because of him. MJ urges Peter to stop playing the blame game. Peter tells MJ that he has to do what he has to do to make things right for himself and Miles. MJ asks what that is and Peter walks away...
 * 48) After planning his attack on Fisk Tower and getting all the entrance suggestions from Fisk's bodyguards (a couple missions earlier), Peter is ready. Peter's alarm goes off at 12AM and Peter immediately equips the symbiote. Spider-Man swings over to Fisk Tower, with hatred in his eyes and mutters that Fisk will pay. Spider-Man must sneakily enter Fisk Tower and beat the living pulp out of all Fisk's bodyguards, contractors, and executive assistants and go through obstacles of wired alarms. When Spider-Man reaches Fisk's top floor, where he expects to find Wilson himself, Spider-Man is greeted by Richard, who points a gun at Spider-Man and tells him to back off. Spider-Man fires this remark back at Richard and tells him he will regret doing this. Richard fires at Spider-Man and Spider-Man pulls the gun from him and kicks Richard in the face, greatly injuring his face. Spider-Man demands Richard the location of his father and Richard reveals his father is at the penthouse. Spider-Man leaves Richard at the tower, injured. Spider-Man swings over to the penthouse and Fisk is looking at his private contractors getting him new paintings after Black Cat retrieved all of them back for her possession. Spider-Man takes down Fisk's private contractors and the two look at each other for a moment. Spider-Man clenches his fist and Fisk cracks his knuckles. The two scream manically at each other and Spider-Man violently lunges onto Fisk, initiating this brutal fight. The fight breaks multiple objects including glass and the fight is very fair. Fisk is all bloodied and tries to kill Spider-Man using his pure strength, but the symbiote immediately heals any wounds Spider-Man obtains. Spider-Man fights Fisk and Fisk manages to punch Spider-Man so hard that he unmasks Spider-Man and reveals Peter. Fisk chuckles and says he was right; Spider-Man is just some weak kid. Peter absorbs the symbiote in this veins and fights Fisk as Peter. Peter's power is so inevitable and Fisk chuckles again claiming, "Don't worry, kid. Your secret is safe with me. I'll just keep coming back and you know that". Peter puts Fisk on chokehold and says he will make sure that does not happen. Peter breaks Fisk's nose and Fisk is in pain. Peter picks Fisk up and throws him against an electrical wire in his penthouse, shocking him and penalizing him. Peter punches Fisk more than twenty times and lunges Fisk off his own penthouse. Peter wakes up for a minute and screams, "NO!!" Peter then webs down the penthouse to try and save Fisk, but Fisk is nowhere to be seen. Peter re-equips the symbiote and must search for the body, if there is one. Spider-Man finds nothing and it isn't until Spider-Man reaches the rooftop of a building next to a penthouse; Fisk fell twenty stories and hit his head really hard on a metal bar and penalized his brain. Fisk does not remember anything and Spider-Man swings away. Fisk is found immediately after Spider-Man is nowhere to be seen. Yuri debriefs the scene and knows this was Spider-Man's doing. Yuri tells her unit to call SHIELD immediately and put Fisk there; Fisk does not seem well.
 * 49) A day later, Jameson's anti-Spider-Man propaganda grows evermore believable and most of the city believes that Spider-Man truly is am menace. Jameson reports that after Fisk went into SHIELD custody, he died shortly after of brain damage and lung failure. Miles sees this and shakes his head. Peter is in his apartment, looking at two pictures; one with him, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May when he was younger and one with him, Mary Jane, and Harry when they attended Midtown High School. Peter remembers that he did not let Aunt May die in vain and that Aunt May's death was because Peter was selfless. Peter talks to the symbiote and asks, "What have I done?" The symbiote reminds Peter that he single-handily took down both Fisk and Kravinoff. The symbiote tells Peter to relax and his work is done. Peter, however, knows the city is against him and he has committed so many wrongs in the past few months; has he not learnt anything? The symbiote urges Peter to rest. Peter looks at the last vile of Globulin Green (the one he obtained from Roderick Kingsley) and hides it in his closet. Peter goes to work shortly after and arrives at Horizon, still feeling conflicted on the inside. Harry tells Peter he heard about what happened to Miles's uncle and what happened to Fisk, knowing that Spider-Man basically killed Fisk. Peter feels empty inside and does not want to talk about any of this to Harry, so Peter and Harry continue their work; their toxin-removal from the sewer drainage was successful, but Peter and Harry focus on another project from Max Modell, one of their most trusted scientists working on an environmental scan between Staten Island and Chelsea's water supply. Peter and Harry look at the problem and must finish the project with the help of Modell, who proves to be very enthusiastic and although he is 35, making him more than ten years older than both Peter and Harry, reminds them that he appreciates working with them and their driven vision. Harry thanks Modell and before Peter even has the chance to leave work, Harry insists they going out to grab hot dogs in Central Park. While there, Peter lightens up a bit and Harry says, "Look Peter; I know these months have been rough for you. I know losing Dr. Connors affected you in a lot of ways, but our vision; the vision we have at Horizon. That's the vision we dreamt of ever since we were teenagers being picked on at Midtown. I need you to work with me; we're getting bank and I know you've been doing your part equally as much as I've been doing mine, but I think you need to stay more focused. Like I've said a million times, I'm here for you. MJ is too". Peter smiles and tells Harry to eat his hot dog. The two eat.
