Plot
In the Triskelion, Peter Parker and his friends are overhearing from J.A.R.V.I.S. more details about the Parker files created by Richard and Mary Parker, including the content of their scientific inventions and projects. When Peter voices intentions of continuing his parents' second project, which involves a robot body which Jarvis was meant to inhabit, Jarvis reveals it is located in the undergrounds of where it is now Horizon High. Just as Peter makes it there with Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy, the school is attacked by Draco, a dragon-like humanoid android. Right before the three can suit up for action, Draco is challenged by Stormranger, a mysterious armored female individual with technology of both Stark Industries and the Kree Empire.

Stormranger manages to defeat and destroy Draco before she takes a deep soft spot on Peter before leaving in silence. Later on, Draco's destroyed body is taken in to Max Modell's personal lab, where he and Anya Corazon discover it is technology from Athena Industries, a formerly small company which mainly focused in building innovative tech and making the world a better place. Modell also reveals that the company became corrupt after its CEO Athena Gonzales became mentally ill and overwhelmed with a god-complex, by which she believes herself to be the dark reincarnation of the. Later on, Peter suits up as Spider-Man and goes on to find Stormranger, and with Carlie Cooper / Alpha Owl and Ace monitoring him. During which, Spider-Man overhears news from Betty Brant that Hammerhead was killed by a individual female described by local witnesses to be someone wearing "old white dress". He eventually encounters Stormranger roughly interrogating the Wake Riders' former publicist Gabby Flenkman, who currently works as Gonzales' assistant, for information of where the source of Athena Industries' beast machines and super soldiers are. After holding Flenkman (whom he mutually distrusts) webbed down, Spider-Man speaks with Stormranger, who reveals that she was seeking to protect the Central F.E.A.S.T. shelter, which is targeted for destruction by Gonzales and her mercenaries along with Stark Expo, while convincing him of Gonzales' intentions of destroying places she deems unworthy to exist. Just then, they discover a tracer in Flenkman's badge, discovering she was also being used to be a beacon to lure another of Gonzales' creations, consequently attracting Gonzales' "beast machine super soldier": the Griffin, a cybernetically enhanced metahuman resembling a flying lion. Through the mind-control devices implanted on Griffin, Gonzales demands him to terminate Spider-Man and Stormranger.

The pair have a brief fight against the Griffin before Spider-Man has Stormranger take Flenkman away while he holds the Griffin off. Spider-Man is soon joined in by Tigra, Ghost-Spider and Kevin Hunt / American Knight to defeat the Griffin. Through the Griffin's DNA sample, Jarvis identifies him as Johnny Horton, Gonzales' bodyguard and first test subject for her experiments. Regrouping in Horizon High, Miles Morales, Mary Jane and Kevin volunteer to follow Peter and confront Gonzales while Gwen and Anya stay to check up the robot body, though not before Peter entrusts Gwen with a material which Hank Pym and Nick Fury entrusted him to keep earlier. As hey reach the Athena Industries headquarters, they are confronted by Gonzales' most trusted henchwoman Ariel Haven / Technovore, and stop her from trying to reach Stark Expo. Stormranger, who is immune to Technovore's abilities to corrupt technology, arrives and outmatches her in a fight.
