Plot
It all starts with Spider-Man swinging around New York at night until he witnesses Black Cat robbing the banks. Just as he follows her trail, Spider-Man soon finds Black Cat bruised, clawed and beaten as she complains that "bad luck went up against her most drastically". Just as he is ambushed and taken to a fight with Scorpion, Spider-Man is joined in by Black Cat's attacker: a female human/tiger hybrid named Tigra, whom Scorpion soon proves to have some fear of. The pair defeat Scorpion in combat before sharing a kiss; Tigra turns out to be Mary Jane Watson. Scorpion soon freaks out uncontrollably after seeing the young couple kissing, much to the frustrations of his two shadowed employers.

In Horizon High, Peter Parker is in his lab with Gwen Stacy, Anya Corazon and Miles Morales experimenting on some new equipment provided for them by S.H.I.E.L.D., including a new improvised version of his Spider-Man suit while making up plans for their team's headquarters. While hearing news of "Spider-Man's significant other" from Betty Brant, Peter tells his friends some of Mary Jane's origins, as a half-human, half-alien hybrid. In the news, Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson attempts to report that the whole thing was a "false scheme" by Spider-Man, but he is dismissed and ignored by the citizens and by Brant due to their awareness of Jameson's blind dislike for the Wallcrawler. Meanwhile in Midtown High, Mary Jane is practicing gymnastics with Sally Avril until they watch as Daily Bugle journalist Eddie Brock arrives to interview students and teachers for answers about Spider-Man. To Mary Jane's surprise and satysfaction, no one answers anything and dismiss him, although Sally suggests Mary Jane that Jamesson might still push his hatred for Spider-Man too far. Later at night, the Web Warriors (accompanied by Tigra) intercept a group of thugs working for Wilson Fisk, a maniacal crimelord and owner of Fisk Industries collectively known as the Kingpin. They also witness Fisk sppeaking with an costumed associate known as "the Gentleman", who intends to share his knowledge of New York with Fisk in exchange of resources to frame Spider-Man. Using their devices, the young heroes manage to record the two crimelords' negociations to the point they witness the Gentlemen revealing himself as Jameson, much to their little surprise, but mutual displeasure.

Just as they prepare to take the evidences of Jameson's crimes to the local police, the young heroes are confronted by Beetle, Scorpion and Kraven, who engage the the five into fight. Spider-Man and his group defeat the trio before he confronts the Chameleon. The villain attempts to duplicate Spider-Man's shape and skills, but fails when the new functions of Spider-Man's new suit short-circuit Chameleon's shape-shifting mask, allowing Spider-Man's friends to defeat him, forcing Jameson and Fisk to retreat. Back in the Daily Bugle, Jameson (still enraged that there are no resources to incriminate Spider-Man) assigns Brock and Fisk's employer Dmitri Smerdyakov (the Chameleon's true identity) to intercept Peter Parker, who is publicy reported to be "Spider-Man's civilian comrade" following Otto Octavius's arrest. Overhearing Jameson's plans through a tracker, Peter and his friends manage to move on with their mission to apprehend Fisk while Dr. Phillip Watson's agents will handle the rest. Brock and Smerdyakov ambush Peter (actually one of Dr. Watson's agents in disguise) in a alley while Spider-Man and the team confront Fisk in his secret lab. To the young heroes' apparent shock, Fisk reveals to be holding Dr. Watson captive.

Having heard of Dr. Watson's accomplishments at Stark Industries, Fisk had his henchmen capture him to obtain resources to create the perfect weapon to bring New York to his knees. Just as Spider-Man and his friends fight back, Fisk attempts to dispose of Dr. Watson, who surprisingly subdues Fisk and reveals his true self and real name: a hulking humanoid tiger named Soto, the chief of Earth's tribe of Titanian Tigers, a race of aliens who used to live on Titan until they were banished from their home by Thanos decades ago.
