Plot
Recovering from his comatose state, Otto Octavius is in his cell at the Supervillain Holding Facility attempting (but failing) to remember and write the Neuro-Cortex's codifications on the walls until his pencil breaks, and he rages as he continues reflecting on tragic memories of his past, including the ones with his abusive father Torbert and bully jock Steve. All the sudden, his tentacle harness (having somehow developed an artificial intelligence) appears in his cell and attaches itself to him. Undergoing his alias of Doctor Octopus once again, Octavius breaks out seeking to retake the Neuro-Cortex from Horizon High School. Unknown to him, his tentacle harness were merely being controlled and used by engineers of the Kree Empire as a beacon, under orders of Ronan the Accuser to find resources to hunt down and eliminate the Inhumans on Earth.

In Horizon High, as he overhears news that the truth about his parents' death is being put under investigation, Peter Parker (now in possession of equipment from the Triskelion and having decided to finish the work his parents started ) is working on his parents' first planned project: AC-5, a very special drone powered by crystals of unknown origins, as the projects are overseen by his friends and by Max Modell, who also offer to help. Eventually complete and functional, AC-5 (nicknamed by Gwen Stacy as "Ace") awakens and demonstrates to have the capabilities to transmit virtual messages and hack technology. Peter and his friends are also impressed to see that Ace has a rather very intelligent consciousness of his own (and a "very human personality" as Gwen describes). Just then, Peter is approached by Anna Maria Marconi, the dwarfish assistant chemistry teacher at Midtown High, and Inhuman couple Cloak and Dagger, who come to inform him that King Black Bolt and Queen Medusa seek an audience with him in Attilan. Meanwhile, Octavius is shown rushing through New York City until, after envisioning memories of his past again, decides to rid himself from them by directly attacking his own father and Steve. His actions (spotted through Betty Brant's news reports) draw the attention of Mary Jane Watson, Anya Corazon, Miles Morales and Kevin Hunt, who put on their superhero outfits and forms, and chase after him. Back in Attilan, after overhearing of Ronan's plans, Peter agrees to help the Inhumans stop him, and is followed by Inferno, Cloak and Dagger while Marconi, Princess Crystal and the Royal Family's head scientists help with the fourth project in the Parker files. Through Ace's recording data, Spider-Man also learns that MODOK (damaged but still functional) is seeking the Kree Empire's technology for his own purposes.

Back on Earth, Tigra, Spider-Girl, Kid Arachnid and American Knight confront Octavius, and hold their own against him, until the city is attacked by A.I.M. troopers who were also sent by MODOK after the Neuro-Cortex. Though the young heroes manage to stop the troopers and secure the citizens, Octavius takes advantage of their distraction, and reaches Horizon High. After a small confrontation with Modell, Octavius is stunned to see Carlie Cooper, who blames him for a lab accident which left her paralyzed and made her dependent of her wheelchair two years before Peter joined Horizon High. As Octavius struggles to apologize for the incident, he is attacked and neutralized by Gwen (as Ghost-Spider) and Ace. The latter eventually detects Kree components in Octavius' tentacle harness, revealing that Ronan was using it as a beacon, and Gwen destroys it. Spider-Man, Inferno, Cloak and Dagger infiltrate Ronan's warship the Dark Aster, and fight their way through. Cindy Moon / Silk (with help from the Royal Family's teleporting pet dog Lockjaw) also emerges to help fight off the Kree. Further breaking through the Dark Aster, Spider-Man and the Inhumans also discover a lab full of Symbiotes which Ronan also plans to use as weapons for the Empire. They come face-to-face with Ronan himself, who reveals to have "inevitably, but necessarily" destroyed his own home-planet, leaving him and his followers as the last of the Kree race, after the Supreme Intelligence had decided to cease the attacks on other planets, including the Skrulls' home-world, to avoid making more enemies for themselves like when they indirectly created Captain Marvel. In response of Spider-Man vowing to preserve the Inhumans' existence, Ronan attacks him. Their fight is interrupted when MODOK (in control of a discarded Spider-Slayer mech from Oscorp) breaks through the Dark Aster, ready to take "what is rightfully his".

As Ronan and MODOK fight each other, Spider-Man and the Inhumans exact to find a way to destroy the Dark Aster before MODOK can obtain the technology in it. Spider-Man and Silk seek to destroy the Kree Super Soldier protocols while Cloak, Dagger and Lockjaw teleport the Symbiotes back to their planet on Klyntar, and Inferno overrides the ship's engines and defense systems. Once Spider-Man and the Inhumans are done, Black Bolt has Lockjaw, Cloak and Dagger teleport them back to Attilan, allowing Black Bolt to use the power of his voice to obliterate the Dark Aster, killing Ronan and MODOK in the progress. Receiving no orders from MODOK, most of the remaining A.I.M. agents surrender while others retreat. As Octavius is carried back to the Supervillain Holding Facility, Black Bolt and Medusa thank Peter and his friends for their help, although their head scientists still could not finish the fourth project of Peter's parents in time. Noticing how powerful his parents' fourth creation will be, Peter entrusts the Inhumans to keep it safe while Marconi, deducing the project requires at least a DNA sample of the Parker Bloodline to complete progress, extracts a small piece of Peter's blood-sample before leaving. Peter takes another look at his parents' other two projects while voicing concern he might take too long to finish them, but his friends (having showed admiration of the work Ace helped them do) offer to help him by their best means. Later on, after introducing his friends to the Triskelion, Peter is guided by Ace to a second laboratory, where he finds a micro-card containing the consciousness of his parents' old A.I. assistant J.A.R.V.I.S., who greets him well.
