Premise
Following their success in stopping Doctor Octopus from trying to create his army of Spider-Soldiers using the same formula responsible for Crimson Spider's powers, Captain America and Black Panther look after and train Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, who had been injected with samples of the Lab spider's formula and gained their own spider powers. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel discovers that Disha Khan's daughter Kamala and her friend Dante Pertuz have gained their own Inhuman powers from the Terrigen Mist and decides to train them as well. The couple, however, must also protect the new young heroes from Crimson Spider, who believes that Miles and Gwen are "clones of him created by Doctor Octopus to frame him", and Hala the Accuser, who seeks to commit the genocide of Inhumans on Earth, including Kamala and Dante.

Plot
Following their latest battle against Hydra, Captain America leads the Avengers on a pursuit after Carlton Drake, who is hiding somewhere on New York following the end of Life Foundation. The chase leads him, Black Panther and Captain Marvel to a confrontation with Doctor Octopus, who had recovered some of the remaining experiments of Life Foundation and used them to create new Super Soldier Serums and radioactive spider similar to the one responsible for Crimson Spider's powers. Not wanting to witness the creation of another monster like Crimson Spider proved to be, Captain America battles Octavius while Captain Marvel and Black Panther destroy the experiments, though the spider escapes and bites Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, who were at the time watching the event on their way back from school, before it is killed by Groot.

Next day, Doctor Octopus is put on S.H.I.E.L.D. custody while Betty Brant puts the origins of Crimson Spider as a human mutate who was bitten by a lab spider in public knowledge, leading Flash Thompson, who is watching the news from his saloon, to assume Octavius created clones of him and puts on his old Crimson Spider suit. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson are at home watching their children until they see Miles and Gwen in the streets putting their newly developed spider abilities to an test. As the two voice their intentions of becoming better than Crimson Spider, Peter volunteers to train the two as Mary Jane overhears news of a "mysterious gas" in Midtown High.
