Season Two
Following the defeat of Goblin, the people of New York no longer need to worry about the threat of mobsters, as The Spider had cut off the head. However, a new fear begins to resinate in the people's hearts as the tension between the nations of the world have sparked whispers of a potential second Great War, the fear in people's heart's not helped by the controversial rise of the pro-Nazi movement in America. While he had already been going after various white supremacist groups, The Spider is not forced to go after the Nazis themselves until his best friend, journalist Robbie Robertson, is shot to death in his own home by them. Looking to avenge his friend for this hate crime, The Spider starts an all-out war against the Nazi spies, headed by German scientist Dr. Otto Octavius.

Season Three
During his battle against the Nazis, The Spider encountered and subsequently fought NKVD agent Aleksei Systevich.

With special permission from the American government, Major Dmitri Smerdyakov and Aleksei are allowed to begin the manhunt for The Spider, who is viewed as an enemy of Russia. Not helping The Spider's image is when he is framed by a man in his unfirom for attacking American soil, having him declared an enemy of America, too.
