Plot
On board Arsenal's Quinjet form, Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider are checking information about Red Skull's next plans with Hydra, which are supported by the creation of Madame Hydra / Viper's army of super clones, and Norman Osborn operating as the Green Goblin. Noticing that Mantis is in need of a organic host body to complete her transformation, Peter and Gwen opt in having her merge with the strongest of the clones before Viper than activate it. Ace transmits a message from Mary Jane Watson / Tigra and T'Challa / Black Panther, who tell them that Whitney Frost / Madame Masque, the last member of the Shadow Council, has broken Doctor Octopus out of his prison and brainwashed him as her servant, and is on her way to assault Red Skull's Hydra base for Arnim Zola's technologies. As the pair voice intentions of stopping her as well, Gwen acknowledges Peter's concern about his sister Teresa and consoles him that everything will be fine, and Peter agrees... because he does not know what to do otherwise.

Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Mantis, Ace and Jarvis land on the Hydra base while Arsenal keeps himself camouflaged until the time is right. As they sneak inside, Ace and Jarvis eventually notify Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider of the Avengers arriving in the base, seeking to stop Hydra's plot and apprehend Green Goblin, who is publicly accused for turning Peter's parents over to the Red Skull. The Avengers (consisting of Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Thor, and Hawkeye) and Ms. Marvel arrive, but are ambushed by Zola, who is reluctant to let their presence expose him to Madame Masque. They defeat him, but the issuing fight gets them separated from Ms. Marvel, who utterly explores the base by herself until she encounters Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider, and agrees to follow them into Madame Hydra's cloning laboratory. In the the K'un-Lun Temple, overhearing that Madame Masque is approaching the Hydra base, Teresa dons her Stormranger armor and rushes there to stop her. Back in the Hydra Base, Spider-Man and his group reach the lab and lands Mantis in the lead clone body. Despite discovered by Crossbones, they are joined by Black Panther, who arrives in time to aid them, while the rest of the Avengers end up holding their own against Red Skull, Green Goblin, Viper, and a reactivated Zola. Meanwhile in New York, Tigra and the rest of the young heroes witness beast machines emerging from the Oscorp building and aid S.H.I.E.L.D. forces in fighting them off before they can cause collateral damage. Anya Corazon, Amadeus Cho and Carlie Cooper soon discover the robots are being controlled by Madame Masque through Octavius, who still has access to Oscorp since Osborn first employed him, and Tigra alerts Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider about it. Later on, Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider make it outside and witness Madame Masque arriving with her ship.

Madame Masque breaks through the base, interrupting the brawl between the Avengers and Hydra and attacks both sides, eventually subduing them and abducting Iron Man and Red Skull to siphon knowledge of their technology from their minds; because Stark and Hydra together control 81% of the world's technology, she intends to couple them with her own to become unstoppable and take over the world. Overhearing her plan, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Ms. Marvel and Black Panther begin discussing how they can stop her. Aware that the mask's power comes from the ship, they opt in destroying it. Green Goblin eventually discovers Spider-Man and attempts to attack him until Stormranger arrives and knock him out of his glider, which uncontrollably flies towards Red Skull and knocks him towards Madame Masque's ship, where he is severely injured and tangled in the ship's wires. Spider-Man and Black Panther free Iron Man, and Jarvis portals Ms. Marvel, Stormranger and Green Goblin to New York City, while Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider battle Madame Masque, who commands Doctor Octopus to attack them and the Avengers. In New York, Osborn witnesses his son Harry's grave and, enraged over his death, assumes Spider-Man did this. However, Spider-Man's friends instead hold Osborn himself responsible for Harry's death and proceed to beat him under submission while Ace (under Spider-Man's demands) broadcasts the evidences to the Daily Bugle, exposing Green Goblin's identity of Norman Osborn, as well as Osborn's crimes in his own and Hydra's behalf. Madame Masque gains the upperhand, subdues Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider and prepares to unmask them.

Just then, Spider-Man reveals that he and Ghost-Spider were just slowing Madame Masque and Hydra down while Mantis completes her transformation and breaks out of Viper's lab. Now a fully transformed humanoid alien, Mantis emerges, converts the dormant clones into animal-based spawns and commands them into attacking Madame Masque and Doctor Octopus while commanding the island's plant-life in destroying the base. Noticing Red Skull attempting to break free from the ship, Spider-Man signals for Arsenal, who takes off and obliterates the ship, killing the Red Skull, de-powering Madame Masque and freeing Octavius from her mind control in the progress. The progress also disables the Oscorp robots and machines, allowing Spider-Man's friends and the S.H.I.E.L.D. troopers to finish them off. With the battle over, Peter and Gwen return to New York with the Avengers, Jarvis, Ace, Arsenal and Mantis and reunite with their friends while Peter shares a happy embrace with Teresa. As the remaining Hydra agents are taken to prison along with Osborn and Frost and a now physically disabled and mentally ill Octavius is taken to a mental hospital, Spider-Man and his friends (named by Daily Bugle media as "the Champions") are honored for saving the world and ending Red Skull's reign once and for all. Peter earns genuine praise from the Avengers for his performance, which resulted in his friends having been united for a great purpose and his sister finally feeling part of his family. Peter watches as Teresa earns a warm, loving welcome from Aunt May and has a last look at a picture of Aunt May with his parents and Uncle Ben.
