Gameplay Dynamics/Features

 * The immersive combat system is partially inspired by the Batman: Arkham video games, mixing those dodge and attack elements with web gadgets, parkour, swinging, and great variety in combat, as the combat is what Spider-Man fights like in the comic books. There are two times more web gadgets to unlock, as the skill tree has added two more categories and makes the combat even more engaging than ever
 * The maximum level cap is still 60, but Insomniac Games heard gamers' complaints on how leveling up was a little too casual; Insomniac has made it so that it is harder to level up and takes skill to do so, completing certain objectives, some challenging and some just regular objectives
 * Since the last game tried it's best to capture real-life Manhattan, Insomniac has finally hit it out of the park; the map of Manhattan is entirely accurate, according to some geologists from Manhattan. Insomniac has also made Staten Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Raft, Ryker's Island, and Queens all playable in, wholesomely expanding from the last game; there are more interiors the player can enter (which will be mentioned later in this list)
 * There are a total of 35 (vanilla base) game suits in this game, which players can unlock by gathering tokens, completing crimes, doing side missions, and many other activities. There are more tokens to be unlocked and the challenge in unlocking them makes unlocking suits and abilities very worthwhile
 * Miles has four (vanilla base) game suits in the game
 * There is a separate skill tree for Miles and unique abilities as well; Miles can camouflage himself, perform venom's touch, shock people, and is very competitive in stealth, but his spider sense is slower and weaker than Spider-Man's, making it more of a challenge to fight with; he also has his own gadget abilities unique from Spider-Man's
 * This game continues on the aspect of exploring not just Spider-Man's life, but also that of Peter Parker's, who is now working at Empire State University; the player can go to the Empire State University, the Daily Bugle (to visit Mary Jane), Peter's apartment, as well as change into Peter Parker on the streets whenever necessary (some main missions and side missions require Peter's abilities)
 * Insomniac Games has made it so that players can customize their own unique suit and can mash abilities from other suits and add any color schemes, eye-lids, and in-game advantages they want. This ability, however, does not unlock until the player hits level 20
 * There is actually endgame content that come after the player beats the story (certain side missions activate after the player beats the game and challenges pop up in the map to be completed)
 * There are fighting/stealth arenas players can participate in and play to compete for worldwide leaderboards, complete challenges (which lead into obtaining certain suits); arenas/maps are locations from the actual game's storyline

Synopsis
It has been more than one year after the Devil's Breath incident and the tragic fall of Otto Octavius; ever since then, Peter has began working under his old college professor, Dr. Curt Connors (the closest father he has) and he has also been training his new prodigy, Miles, alias Kid Arachnid, to fight crime in the city. As the Wall-Crawler, Peter also befriends Jean DeWolffe, the new NYPD captain after Yuri's mysterious leave. As Peter continues to live to fulfill his life and both Uncle Ben and Aunt May's wishes, a new black alien symbiote bonds itself with Peter. The symbiote makes Peter ten times stronger and more aggressive; because of this new symbiote, Peter begins pushing those closest to him. While the symbiote feeds off of Peter's emotions and mentality, Peter finds himself caught in the middle of the Osborn conspiracy; Harry is still alive and Norman wants the symbiote. As the Osborn conspiracy brings Peter against the likes of the Green Goblin, Kraven, and the Lizard, Peter must fight his inner demons and prevent this never-ending conspiracy from destroying New York...

Act 1
It has been a year since the Silver Lining DLC; Peter is now working at Empire State University as a professor's assistant; that professor known as Dr. Curt Connors, his old professor when he was a college student. A little background on Connors; from what I remember from playing Spider-Man PS4, Connors has already become the Lizard. And in this game, I would have it have Connors still want to cure his missing arm. He also has a strong friendship with Peter; Peter, however, tries distant himself from Connors as he does not want Connors to end up like Octavius.

Meanwhile, MJ is still working at the Daily Bugle (I would also introduce Eddie Brock, who has been a long time friend of Peter's; Eddie and Peter have a great friendship, but Eddie is on the Spidey hate train alongside Jameson; this will be a very important note for later on in the game). Miles is now working part-time at FEAST under Dr. Morgan Michaels, who is now the head of FEAST after May's death and Li's arrest. Miles is also seeing this girl at his school; Gwen Stacy. Miles, with the death of his father, is also seeing his Uncle Aaron Davis a lot more.

Norman is also staying away from the public image; the citizens of New York are still eating him up and they still love him as Mayor; New York still practically worships this guy. But Norman is spending his days studying the black symbiote and asking himself if it is the right cure for Harry. Norman does not know what to do and it would be cool to see some missions where we play as Norman in flashback sequences to see how his wife/Harry's mother died. That would create very emotional impact on his character.

On to the Spider-Man stuff; in the year that has passed since Hammerhead's defeat, Peter has been training Miles in the battlefield. I would like Miles to start out with a similar red suit that he had in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (not the exact same though). Miles is very inexperienced, so playing as him is a learning curve; he has venom touch, electrokenesis, and invisibility, which makes his stealth more unique than Peter's. At this point in time, Peter and Miles are working together on tracking down the Enforcers, a group of professional criminals and assassins consisting of Fancy Dan, Frederick Foswell, the Ox, and Sandman (who somehow escapes Peter's backpack lol). The Enforcers are aiding various employers around New York to try to be the next "Kingpin". Most of Act 1 would have Peter and Miles be dealing with these guys, maybe even cool boss fights with the Ox and Sandman. During this crusade, Spider-Man meets Jean DeWolffe, a senior NYPD officer who is appointed Captain of the NYPD after Yuri's dis-gracious leave. Spider-Man gets along well with DeWolffe, but like with Connors and Octavius, he does not want DeWolffe to end up like Yuri.

After the Enforcers are behind bars, Norman comes up with a brilliant idea; have the symbiote latch itself onto Spider-Man. Norman blackmails Mysterio and Hydro-Man, two villains Spider-Man has fought before; Norman sets up a heist on Oscorp Tower, where Spider-Man fights Mysterio and Hydro-Man; these two villains have proved themselves worthy, as they have gotten a lot smarter since last fighting Spider-Man. Spider-Man, angry at their escape, swings away from Oscorp Tower, but the symbiote manages to latch itself onto him. When Peter gets home, the symbiote feeds off his emotions; he has nightmares about May's death, Octavius and Li's turns to evil, and Ben's death. All this guilt and shame the symbiote feeds off of; Peter eventually finds himself in the black suit. I want a scene that nods to the Spider-Man 3 scene where Peter is swinging around in the black suit. That would be a great nod to the Raimi franchise. Peter loves the suit.

Now that Peter has the suit, he feels 100x better, but it is making him ten times stronger and ten times more aggressive. He would be beating the shit out of criminals, nearly killing them and a minor villain from the first game (Shocker) comes back to rob another establishment; Spider-Man beats Shocker so bad that Shocker is traumatized. Mary Jane sees this and worries for Peter, but Peter ensures her that everything is fine.

Meanwhile, Norman is watching behind the scenes as Spider-Man is in his new black suit; the whole city knows about this new look and sees Spider-Man is much more aggressive. Some citizens support this, some do not, but the city still loves Spider-Man. The Oscorp Board of Directors sees how Norman is obsessed with curing his son and they fire Norman; Norman goes insane. Norman does not know how long the symbiote will be on Spider-Man and Harry's life is on a time watch, so Norman goes to Plan B; testing the Globulin Green. Norman, too scared to test it on his son, tests the Green on himself; he becomes the Green Goblin and goes crazy. Norman, as the Green Goblin, goes after the Board Directors who fired him; Donald Menken, Mark Raxton, and Liz Allen. Norman successfully murders Menken, but Raxton and Allen escape Norman. Spider-Man catches onto the Green Goblin easily (Spider-Man will not allow Miles to go with him to fight the Green Goblin, as he believes he can do this himself with the symbiote; plus the Green Goblin is a dangerous foe unlike the Enforcers).

There would be a mission in Times Square; the surviving Board directors, Mark Raxton and Liz Allen, would be making an announcement to impeach Norman as Mayor; the two expose Norman for the evil he is (just like Octavius and Li were trying to prove last year), but the city does not believe the two. Norman, still crazy in his mind, attacks Times Square. This mission would be awesome; Peter would suit up with the symbiote and fight the Goblin, while Miles would be with Gwen and his Uncle Aaron and try to get them to safety. Green Goblin manages to kill a lot of innocent people, including Liz Allen. Wanting Raxton to suffer for firing Norman, the Green Goblin spares Raxton to mourn over the body of Liz Allen. With most of the Board directors dead, Green Goblin puts his eyes on Spider-Man to try and take the symbiote back, but fails to. This boss fight would be interesting. Spider-Man disables the Green Goblin's glider, but the Goblin gets away. Because of the events that have transpired with the Green Goblin and Times Square, New York is now traumatized and continues to shift the blame to Spider-Man, with the help of Jameson's anti-Spider-Man podcast.

The city would be questioning Spider-Man and citizens would be warned to stay in their homes since the Green Goblin proves to be a grave threat after he killed over dozens of people in Times Square. Raxton leaves the Square fine, but is guilt-ridden over Liz's death. MJ and Eddie would be working on a case at the Bugle together; what is the symbiote? MJ and Eddie find out the symbiote is an Oscorp laboratory experiment; after the symbiote was discovered on an astronaut's plane after his trip to space, Oscorp took their hands on the symbiote and altered it to make it less dangerous. There were "ethical experiments" involving the symbiote, but Norman deleted all those files. The symbiote, according to an Oscorp scientist in which MJ and Eddie interview, is a cure to cancer. (as much as people probably hated the MJ missions in the first game, they provide so much story potential so I would bring them back in this way). Connors sees MJ's report of this and injects himself with the Oz serum, the serum that turned him into the Lizard all those years ago, and goes after Spider-Man to try to take the symbiote for himself. Spider-Man fights the Lizard and is shocked; he has so much on his plate and worries for Connors; because of all these events, the symbiote is continuing to feed off Peter's emotions and makes him even angrier (Peter keeps his job at ESU, but works with another professor after news stations around the city pronounce Connors "missing").

After overdosing on the Globulin Green, Norman finds out he is dying because of it. Norman takes a backseat from being the Green Goblin and ensures Harry that all will be well. I would like this game to really explore their father-son dynamic with some flashback missions with the player playing as Norman (like I said previously). Norman would see the Lizard and somehow finds out Connors wants at the symbiote too; Norman does not like this, so he blackmails his contacts to get Wilson Fisk out of the Raft. Fisk is paroled out of the Raft thanks to Norman (with the public eye not knowing of this) and Fisk promises to make this city a better place. "Make New York Great Again". The public eye assumes that the Green Goblin also killed Norman somehow, so Fisk replaces Norman as Mayor of New York.

That ends Act 1.

Act 2
I would like to see some Miles missions where he tries to go on to do his own stuff; Mysterio and Hydro-Man are still out wild after their "raid" (fake raid lol) on Oscorp Tower. Miles tries to go after them, but they always end up outsmarting Miles. Miles is also spending more time with Gwen and his Uncle Aaron.

Norman gives Fisk orders behind the scenes; Fisk knows that Norman is sick and twisted, but Norman is paying a lot; that is all Fisk cares for. Fisk contacts an old friend of his, Sergei Kravinoff, an extremely skilled Russian mercenary, assassin, and hunter; alias Kraven the Hunter. Fisk, under Norman's command, hires Kraven to go after Spider-Man and Connors; Spider-Man for the symbiote and Connors for trying to take the symbiote. Spider-Man fights Kraven, who proves to be a very dangerous foe. Spider-Man is also fighting the Lizard and eventually converts the Lizard back to Connors using an old antidote Peter cooked up years ago when Connors first became the Lizard. Connors finds out that Peter is Spider-Man, but promises to keep it a secret; Connors desperately just wants his arm back and his family back. Connors stays at Peter's apartment for now to hide from Kraven.

Meanwhile, DeWolffe is coy in all of this; something is going on and she knows it. Norman is not really dead and Fisk is up to something. She lets Spider-Man know of this and the two work together to keep an eye out of Fisk. Kraven has also brought along his Russian militia, which terrorizes New York (keep in mind, Spider-Man has no idea that Kraven was hired by Fisk, let alone know that Fisk was also hired by Norman). The two work together to contain the militia.

Eddie would also be trying to expose Spider-Man, just like Jameson. MJ knows she cannot stop him. Spider-Man and Eddie have a small feud (which is a small subplot) and Spider-Man always scraps Eddie's attempts at making more money. But Eddie, throughout the entirety of Act 2, will not rest until Spider-Man is proved for the menace he is.

Peter and MJ's relationship strains, as well as Peter's relationship with Miles; this is all because of the symbiote. Peter soon realizes that it is too dangerous to keep Connors at his apartment so Peter and Connors set up camp at Connors's old sewer laboratory. Kraven and his militia eventually finds Connors and Spider-Man in the underground sewer and try to attack until Miles, with his new classic black and red suit that he created, intervenes and proves himself by defeating many of Kraven's militia members. Fisk sees this and sends out a high-tech criminal known as the Prowler to kill Miles. This mission would be a lot like that chase scene from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Prowler is secretly Aaron Davis (of course) and Davis is doing this because he wants out of the hustler life and wants to become wealthy to support Miles and his mother after the death of Jefferson Davis in the last game. After this particular mission, Peter and Connors relocate to an abandoned warehouse in Queens to set up camp.

Norman's disease from Globulin Green is getting worse and his life is decaying; both him and Harry are dying now, but Norman will not give up. He believes that Fisk and Kraven will successfully kill Spider-Man and Connors for the symbiote. There would still be flashback missions of when Norman, Harry, and Emily were one small, happy family.

Spider-Man, so eager to find out why Kraven is after him, begins going after militia and interrogating them (violently because of the symbiote). He finds out that Kraven was hired by Fisk, who was hired by Norman. Spider-Man is shocked to learn of this revelation and finds out that Norman is doing all of this for Harry and that Harry is in New York; the symbiote feeds off of Peter's emotions. I would like to see some flashback missions where we play as high school Peter and develop his past relationship with MJ and Harry. This would be great downtime for the chaos that is Act 2.

Because of Peter finding out about Harry, Peter's emotions and anger gets worse. The symbiote manipulates him; Peter knows that Norman is only trying to get the symbiote to cure Harry, but Peter loves the symbiote. Peter is still a good person inside, however, and works with Connors on trying to create a cure for Harry.

Miles is still being chased down by Prowler and avoids him; Prowler is really determined to take Miles down. On the meantime of running from the Prowler, Miles struggles to keep his identity a secret from Gwen and also chases down Mysterio and Hydro-Man. Mysterio is too powerful for Miles, but Miles, with his wits and smarts, manages to take down Hydro-Man and arrest him, putting him into the Raft. The NYPD recognizes Miles's talents and praises him for keeping the small-time villains out of the streets. Mysterio, however, is still on the loose.

Fisk is angered at Kraven for not killing Spider-Man yet; he knows Norman is paying him a lot of money, but Kraven is not getting the job done. Because of this, Fisk contacts Mysterio to help Kraven kill Spider-Man and Connors; Kraven works on trying to kill them; Mysterio works on mentally breaking Spider-Man with his illusions. Mysterio, Kraven, and Kraven's militia eventually find the warehouse in Queens where Connors is holed up. Connors, out of options for surviving Kraven, injects himself with the Oz serum and has no chance of ever returning as Connors. The Lizard literally butchers all of the militia and the militia, even with their skills and equipment to be able to hold down the Lizard, still lose against fighting him. There would be an awesome illusion sequence where Mysterio makes Spider-Man believe he is the villain of the city. Spider-Man, however, stops Mysterio by punching him in the fish bowl, knocking him out and leaving him for the cops. Spider-Man goes over to the action between Kraven, the militia, and the Lizard. Kraven fights the Lizard and a boss battle occurs; Spider-Man is forced to fight both Kraven and the Lizard, but after the boss fight, Kraven manages to kill the Lizard. Spider-Man, enraged, goes after Kraven, but Kraven manages to escape. Spider-Man goes over to Connors's dead body; this would be an extremely emotional scene. Connors has been Peter's father figure ever since Octavius's arrest. Connors eventually dies in Peter's arms, with Peter crying and in a burning fiery anger. Kraven reports back to Fisk, telling him that Connors has been killed and Mysterio has been neutralized by Spider-Man, but Spider-Man is still out there. Fisk applauds Kraven and says they were one step close to completing their plan; Norman will be happy...

Norman and Harry see that Connors is killed and Norman, still affected by the Globulin Green, laughs manically because of this, knowing he is one step closer to getting the symbiote. Harry, however, sees this and sees his father is crazy. But this does not stop Norman. And Harry cannot really do anything about it because he is weak and dying.

MJ and Miles find out about Connors's death and tries to contact Peter, but Peter has completely cut both out of his life. To sum up everything that has been happening thus far; Connors has been killed, Kraven, Fisk, and Norman are still out there and still want the symbiote, the city is slowing turning against him, the symbiote is feeding off his emotions (but he can't get it off because it feels really good and helps him "escape" from reality), and Peter now has a new professor he is working for; Dr. Miles Warren, a socially awkward scientist professor who Peter does not get along with at all. Due to Connors's death, DeWolffe and the NYPD issue a manhunt on Kraven AND Spider-Man. On top of this, without the help of Connors, Peter cannot create a cure for Harry. Peter's life is slowly falling apart, but the symbiote tells him that Kraven is their first goal.

Spider-Man and Kraven duel off in a one-on-one. Kraven knows he can kill Spider-Man, but Spider-Man accepts the challenge; the two meet at Staten Island and a battle ensues. Kraven tries to get the symbiote off of Spider-Man, after learning from Fisk (who learned from Norman) that the symbiote is weak to noise. The symbiote resists from getting off Spider-Man, so this helps Spider-Man immensely. Spider-Man ends up beating Kraven to a pulp, almost killing Kraven; Spider-Man tells Kraven that he will pay for Connors's death. DeWolffe gets a tip from Staten Island and tells Spider-Man to freeze, but Spider-Man escapes, leaving Kraven's half-dead body for DeWolffe and the NYPD. Norman finds out about Kraven and is even angrier.

After all of this, we are introduced to Fisk's son, Richard Fisk; Richard is a mid-20s individual who comes back from the army. Richard, with his skill sets, decides to help his father destroy Spider-Man and retrieve the symbiote. Fisk, out of options with Kraven arrested and half-dead and Mysterio arrested, as well as the militia dying, sends the Prowler out to kill both Spider-Man and Miles. As Spider-Man is wanted in New York, Spider-Man is forced to come out when the Prowler terrorizes civilians; the Prowler fights both Spider-Man and Miles together and Spider-Man can fight him easily, but the Prowler uses an electromagnetic wave to weaken the symbiote and focus his efforts on Miles first. Richard also tries to help by using his gun to kill Spider-Man and Miles. Spider-Man easily stops Richard and leaves him on the ground hurt. Miles and Prowler duel off and the Prowler eventually gains the upper hand; Fisk is watching all of this go down. The Prowler unmasks Miles and finds out that it is his nephew; he is in disbelief and unmasks himself, revealing himself as Uncle Aaron. Miles is shocked; they are both shocked. Fisk fires a bullet at Aaron, but Miles dodges after detecting it with his spider sense and gets himself wounded. Aaron helps Miles escape back to Aaron's house. Aaron apologizes to Miles and Miles is still trying to take all of this in; his uncle is a criminal. Aaron explains everything, telling Miles that he is only doing this to help Miles and his mother after Jeff died in the last game. Miles and Aaron have an emotional conversation and just when they reach middle ground, Fisk barges into the house and shoots Aaron multiple times, killing him. Fisk tries to shoot Miles, but Miles, with the little energy he has left, manages to escape. After all is clear, Miles goes up and sees his uncle's dead body. Miles's mother comes and comforts Miles, shocked that Aaron is a criminal, but also sad that Aaron is dead. Spider-Man himself comes in and tries to go over to Miles, but Miles ignores Peter's existence. A funeral for Aaron is held the next day, with both Jameson and the Bugle reporting on this, actually feeling bad about this event, as Miles has lost the only father figure he had left. Peter, now enraged with the symbiote and feeling guilty for letting Miles down, knows what he needs to do next...

The public eventually finds out that Fisk was behind the death of Aaron and Fisk is no longer Mayor; Fisk hides in the old Fisk Tower and launches drones all over the city to stop Spider-Man from infiltrating the tower. Spider-Man, however, does and goes through all of Fisk's guards. Spider-Man fights off Fisk and engages in a bloody, brutal fight. Eddie is in a Bugle helicopter watching. The fight is taken to the rooftop of Fisk Tower, where Spider-Man says that Fisk is responsible for both Connors and Aaron's demises. Fisk admits his mistake on Aaron, but says that Connors is technically Norman's fault. Spider-Man eventually gains the upper hand and throws Fisk off the tower. Spider-Man quickly realizes what he had just done and looks down the tower, but there is no body to be found. Is Fisk dead? Spider-Man does not know.

The next day, the NYPD cannot find Fisk, so they cannot pronounce him dead officially, but things get heated as Jameson and the Bugle believe that Fisk is dead; Fisk was a bad man, but did Spider-Man kill him? Eddie, desperate, uses evidence from his night watching Spider-Man fight off Fisk and claims that Spider-Man did kill Fisk. Spider-Man, with the anger from the symbiote, goes after Eddie in public, embarrasses him, and leaves a tip from the Bugle that the evidence was wrong; Fisk's body was nowhere to be found so Spider-Man cannot be guilty of the murder. The Bugle fires Eddie and MJ is disappointed in Eddie; Eddie has lost his job and blames it on Spider-Man, who he very much hates now since Spider-Man causes him to lose his job.

The next day, Peter has finally lost it; the symbiote is in full control of him and he becomes a monster (sort of a mini-Venom lol). Peter goes on a rampage and goes out in the city, holding civilians hostage. Miles catches onto this and is disgusted and frightened by the monster Peter has become. Miles fights off Peter with the help of DeWolffe and MJ tries to go and get Peter back to normal. Miles eventually finds out the symbiote's weakness, but that is not enough; the symbiote has become too attached to Peter. Miles fights Peter, but after Peter sees a scared Miles, MJ crying, and DeWolffe putting her gun at him, Peter realizes what he has done; he is no longer himself. These events in the past weeks have changed him; the symbiote has changed him. Peter rescues the hostages he captured and goes to the nearby church to get it off with the bell. Eddie happens to be there as well praying for God to kill Spider-Man (another nod to Spider-Man 3). Eddie watches as he sees Spider-Man from up top struggling to get the symbiote off. There would be an entire sequence where the symbiote shows Peter his early life; with Uncle Ben, the day before Peter accepted that wrestling match; the day before Uncle Ben was murdered. The symbiote makes Peter believe he can stop this, but the dream continues on. Peter goes through all of his life leading up to this point; including high school with Harry, college with MJ and Eddie, and shows us all of Peter's past life in an instance. Peter even has a sequence where it plays the final battle of the last game between him and Otto. Even replays the death of Connors, the death of Aaron Davis, fighting Kraven, and fighting the Green Goblin. All of these events lead Peter to talking to Uncle Ben and Aunt May, who tells him that he has a responsibility he needs; Peter saved the city from the Devil's Breath and he has saved so many lives. He did not actually kill anybody with the symbiote and the two encourage him to defeat the symbiote and become Spider-Man once more; Peter does exactly this and defeats the symbiote. The symbiote escapes itself and an exhausted Peter goes home; Eddie tries to curse at Spider-Man, but Spider-Man has already gone home. A drip of the symbiote latches itself unto Eddie, as Eddie walks home in anger. Norman, with Oscorp overseeing the church from above, sees this and sends one of his scientists out to retrieve the symbiote.

When Eddie walks home, he stops at an alleyway because he feels "fishy". He notices the symbiote and the symbiote tells him everything; it tells him that Peter is Spider-Man and shows him everything that the symbiote has gone through with Peter; Eddie claims he does not have two enemies; he has one. Eddie becomes the Venom...

That ends Act 2...

Act 3
Peter lays low for a while; he has hurt so many people and caused so many people to die; he is burdened by Connors's death and Aaron's death and pushing both MJ and Miles out of his life. However, Peter remembers that he still wants to find a cure for Harry. But to do this, he needs to know Harry's actual disease. Peter cannot gain the help from anyone, so he starts out by finding out what killed Emily Osborn. Spider-Man finds out by going through Norman's old research notes. Spider-Man uses the old Connors lab to begin making the antidote to cure Harry; Spider-Man calls on the helping hand of Dr. Michaels, who used to work for Norman and knows everything about his research. While doing this, Norman becomes the Green Goblin once more, although dying, to try to kill Spider-Man, since Spider-Man proves to be a loose end. Norman has yet to put the what-seems-to-be-successful symbiote onto Harry (remember Norman watched Spider-Man and saw only one defect in the symbiote; the symbiote eventually made Spider-Man into a monster, but the Globulin Green altered Norman's mind so bad that he believes the symbiote will be the only choice to save his son.

Mark Raxton, still mourning the death of Liz Allen, tries to make an NYPD report regarding Norman's unethical experiments, including the situation with Harry. Norman catches onto this and tries to kill Raxton as the Green Goblin; but instead of killing Raxton, Norman takes Raxton hostage and experiments on him, turning Raxton into the Molten Man. It would be great to have a mission where we play as Green Goblin and do this.

Norman wants to buy time to test the symbiote on Harry and contain him, so he uses the chemicals that turned Raxton into Molten Man to hate Spider-Man and distract him while Norman works.

After Fisk is nowhere to be seen (and the city hates him now anyways because he killed Aaron Davis), Jameson runs for Mayor of New York. He is running against Roderick Kingsley (Hobgoblin for all my comic readers out there lol).

Spider-Man deals with Raxton, who proves to be a physical threat, but manages to defeat him by himself. Peter is still dealing with the guilt and shame he had caused those around him with the symbiote, so this act would be very interesting for Peter's character arc. Peter eventually finishes the cure up for Harry's disease and tries to find him by drawing Norman out (and possibly letting the city know what a fool he actually is). Meanwhile, Norman interacts with the symbiote briefly; the symbiote tells Norman that it really hates Spider-Man now so when Norman puts the symbiote on Harry, the symbiote is in full control of Harry. Norman comes out as the Green Goblin, but another monster also comes out; the Symbiote Goblin; Norman has combined both the symbiote and Globulin Green to create the ultimate monster; Harry is secretly the monster, but Peter does not know this. The Globulin Green has caused Norman to blame himself for his son; his wife died a long time ago, but he will not let Harry die. Because of Norman's pain, Norman releases a green gas upon all of New York; Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Statue of Liberty, everywhere! Spider-Man meets up with DeWolffe, Mary Jane, and Miles all individually to apologize to them; DeWolffe tries to attack Spider-Man, but the two eventually come to middle grounds after Spider-Man explains the whole situation with the symbiote and MJ forgives Peter and Miles, still mourning the death of his uncle, reluctantly agrees to come to middle grounds with Peter. With the help of DeWolffe, Miles, and Mary Jane, Spider-Man is ready to save the city from the Green Goblin and Black Goblin (I know that probably does not exist in the comics, but I wanted to be original lol).

Because of the plague on the city, Spider-Man and DeWolffe work together to get everyone in quarantine or off the island to avoid the Globulin Green; some civilians are turning into monsters themselves and Spider-Man must fight them; Spider-Man creates more of the antidote he originally created for Harry. Spider-Man eventually finds out that the Black Goblin is Harry (so does MJ) and is heartbroken, but does what he needs to.

Meanwhile, Miles and MJ work together to stop all the criminals from taking advantage of the Globulin-infected civilians and killing them. Sandman returns with Enforcers and Miles and MJ work on stopping him. They eventually do. Miles still struggles with not telling Gwen his identity; Gwen is very worried for Miles after Aaron's death.

After Spider-Man has created enough samples of the antidote, he creates a large dispersion on the old Fisk Tower to release the antidote on the city. Spider-Man releases this and saves the city. The Green Goblin calls Spider-Man to meet him at an abandoned warehouse in Staten Island. Spider-Man faces off the Green Goblin and the Black Goblin there, with the last sample he has and tries to cure Harry during the fight. The symbiote is in full control of Harry and Peter has to face down his worst demon again; Miles offers to help, but Peter ensures him that he has got this. Spider-Man fights the two of them off, with Norman playing off of Peter's emotions and saying that May's death and Connors's death was his fault. But Peter, being the bigger man, does not let this stop him. Spider-Man defeats the Green Goblin in a bloody fight which almost kills Spider-Man himself. Green Goblin reverts back to Norman and Peter successfully uses the antidote on the Black Goblin, reverting him back to Harry. Harry's condition is even worse now because of the mixture of Globulin Green and the symbiote. Harry manages to survive however and looks extremely happy to reunite with Peter and MJ, who comes to the scene. The NYPD now have confirmed evidence that Norman is behind all of this and arrests him, but does not arrest Harry; instead, Harry gets mental and physical treatment at the hospital under Dr. Ashley Kafka. Norman goes to Ryker's, where he reunites with Otto, who is outraged with just the sight of Norman.

The Ending
Five months later, Peter still works at ESU under Dr. Miles Warren, but does not feel happy about his job; Harry and Peter always did talk about starting a business together to maintain New York's environment and Peter jokes with MJ that he might start that business if Harry is ever cured.

Miles can now operate on his own, but still works with Peter on keeping New York clean of evil and criminals. DeWolffe realizes that after all of this, Yuri is nowhere to be found so DeWolffe begins looking for Yuri (which sets up the DLC of this game).

Peter looks at his Spider-Man mask and reflects on his last few years as Spider-Man and knows that this is his responsibility; he IS Spider-Man.

After Credits Scenes
The first after credits scene would show Richard Fisk (Wilson's son from earlier who failed to kill Spider-Man) confused as to where his father went. Apparently, the Kingpin had a stache of Globulin Green serums in case Norman ever ran out. Richard finds this stache and injects himself. This sets up the next game where Richard would become the Goblin Knight (I know he is not in the comics, but I want to be original lol).

The second after credits scene would show a scene where Peter is working and Dr. Warren is watching over his work. Peter leaves for the day and farewells Warren, but Warren (being the awkward weirdo he is) does not say anything. We see what Warren is writing in his journal and his journal reveals that he has an obsession with cloning. This sets up the next game where Warren would eventually become the Jackal and create the Scarlet Spider/Ben Reilly.

The City That Sometimes Sleeps
Release Date: September 20, 2021
 * Killer Instincts

Story Events:

Two weeks has passed ever since Norman was arrested and Harry was put in rehab; Peter and Mary Jane are celebrating their relationship together and make a toast to Harry as he recovers from the Osborn disease under the brilliant mind of Dr. Kafka (the two visit Harry once a week). Crime is down, up until DeWolffe calls Spider-Man to let him know that multiple murders of various former criminals have been popping out throughout Manhattan and Queens; Peter, with the help of Mary Jane, who reports these murders to the Bugle to raise awareness of this matter, helps DeWolffe uncover who is behind this. Spider-Man and DeWolffe eventually finds out that the murders are at the hands of the advanced ninja-like vigilante known as the Wraith.

DeWolffe plays extremely dirty by getting a former career criminal known as Ray Foghorn, who is now a successful chef in Hell's Kitchen, to draw the Wraith out. Spider-Man and DeWolffe argue about this matter, as it puts Mr. Foghorn in danger, but it will help them get to Wraith and DeWolffe tries to ensure Spider-Man that she will not let Foghorn die. The Wraith manages to attack Foghorn and kill multiple police officers operating under DeWolffe; the Wraith escapes with Foghorn and this strains Spider-Man and DeWolffe's working relationship, as Spider-Man loses a bit of trust in DeWolffe.

Spider-Man, tired of DeWolffe's ignorance, calls upon the help of Miles; Miles, who can now operate by himself, tracks down the Wraith in her secret hideout in the Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens; Miles learns that the Wraith is Yuri after Yuri takes off her mask; apparently, Foghorn stole from Yuri's family and tried to kill her mother; Foghorn tries his best to apologize to Yuri, saying that he is no longer a criminal, but Yuri beheads him. Yuri sees Kid Arachnid, but he manages to escape in time and tell Peter about all of it; Peter is heartbroken and lets both Mary Jane and DeWolffe know that Yuri is the Wraith. Peter finds out, through old clips and interrogating thugs who ran into the Wraith, that she is using old Mysterio equipment and fear gas.

Spider-Man goes to the hideout in Queens and investigates on what he can find as to who Yuri's next target, or targets, are. Yuri has lost her mind; she is going after both current criminals and former criminals who have either wronged her or someone she loved; no matter how much a criminal has changed, she will not forgive them. During Spider-Man's investigation process involving all of Yuri's past files and journal notes, Spider-Man reunites himself with the Black Cat, who offers a helping hand to take down the Wraith. Spider-Man and the Black Cat track down three potential victims; Matthew Townley, Samuel Zhang, and TJ Donald; Townley is in the Rolling 50s gang, a group of young men who are trying to recreate Hammerhead's old mafia; Zhang is in the Dragon Lords, a gang who practically runs Chinatown under their ruthless leader, the White Dragon (who used to have ties with Martin Li and the Demons). Donald is in the Rivals gang; violent bank robbers. Townley is only a weapons contractors, Zhang is an orphan who was blackmailed to associate himself with the Dragon Lords and White Dragon, while Donald is in the Rivals gang, but is one of the only members who does not participate in their various robberies. Spider-Man and Black Cat work together to warn these three young men that the Wraith is coming for them, while also preventing the Rivals from robbing the biggest bank in New York, preventing the Rollings 50s from blowing up the bridge between Manhattan and Queens (which they are trying to do to prevent gangs from Queens from taking over their turf), and stopping the White Dragon and the Dragon Lords from recruiting young men and expanding their empire. Spider-Man and Black Cat successfully save Townley and barely helps Donald out alive from the Wraith's line of fire, but the Wraith manages to capture Zhang; the Wraith tries to kill the White Dragon, as Spider-Man and Black Cat fight the two of them concurrently.

Peter eventually finds out that Harry is feeling a lot better under Dr. Kafka; when Peter goes to Ravencroft to visit Harry for lunch, Harry reminds Peter that the symbiote is still out there. Harry was dead certain he saw something resembling the symbiote when he was being delivered to Ravencroft; this increases Peter's suspicions, as he keeps an eye out (leading to a side mission with Peter's stalker). Later on, Spider-Man goes to Yuri's hideout and successfully saves Zhang, angering Yuri. Yuri warns Spider-Man one last time to stay out of her way, as she does not want to fight her former friend and partner; Spider-Man finds out Yuri's last target is the White Dragon.

Spider-Man and the Black Cat snoop around Chinatown to find out more about the White Dragon; the White Dragon is essentially the Kingpin of Chinatown; he is an old friend of Martin Li's and was rejected from the Demons for not being powerful enough; that is when he let the Dragon Lords take over Chinatown. Spider-Man also finds the White Dragon's connections to Yuri; the White Dragon and Yuri dated at one point in high school, but the White Dragon sought to defame the already broken reputation of the Watanabe family. Yuri did not like that and wants revenge.

Spider-Man gathers up DeWolffe, Miles, and the Black Cat to take down the Dragon Lords in Chinatown, while also preventing Yuri from murdering the White Dragon. Spider-Man helps DeWolffe and Miles hold off the Dragon Lords, who combines some off Martin Li's old weapons and powers to make deadly weapons on the streets of Chinatown. Spider-Man and the Black Cat fight Yuri, but then the White Dragon becomes so powerful (with the help of Li's old equipment and power sets) that Yuri teams up with Spider-Man and Black Cat to stop the White Dragon from taking over Chinatown and eventually Manhattan. The trio successfully stops the White Dragon, after his dragon elements almost kill the trio. Spider-Man is unable to uncover the White Dragon's identity, as his mask is literally stuck to his face. Spider-Man and Yuri talk it out and the two come to middle grounds. Yuri emphasizes how much she hates criminals; crime is the one that took her family away from her. Spider-Man relates to that, but Yuri says she needs time. There is a darkness brewing inside of her and she will no longer be normal. Spider-Man and Yuri hug it out and before Yuri goes away, she has an intense stare-down with DeWolffe, who does not approve of her anymore. DeWolffe tries to open fire, but Yuri goes away. Spider-Man looks into the sunset as she does...

Story Events:

Two months after Yuri disappears and Halloween is among New York; Miles is preparing going on a date with Gwen in a few days, as he is inviting her to Midtown's Halloween party. The Dragon Lords and Rivals are now teaming up to take down the already weak Rolling 50s. Spider-Man and Black Cat team up to dismantle the two gangs and successfully takes down the rest of the Rivals, but the Dragon Lords are expanding more, even after the White Dragon's arrest.

Peter and Miles talk about Miles's future and where he would like to go to college; Peter offers Miles advice, having disappointed Miles and still feeling guilty for essentially being a part of how Aaron died at the hands of the Kingpin; Peter still has not forgiven himself and puts his heart out to be Miles's older brother figure. The conversation eventually leads to Miles saying how he is running out of money, as Dr. Michaels has temporarily shut down FEAST; Miles does not know what happened, but Michaels has been acting very strange before his leave; his eyes were bloodshot red and his voice somehow got a lot lower. Peter and Miles go to investigate FEAST; Mayor Jonah Jameson tries to shut FEAST down, as it is only putting the city in debt now since Michaels is nowhere to be found; DeWolffe puts Michaels on the missing persons list and all the homeless at FEAST are starving. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid eventually find out that the Dragon Lords are taking the absence of Michaels to their advantage and stealing supplies. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid split up; Kid Arachnid goes to the Queens and Staten Island boroughs to retrieve the supplies, while Spider-Man goes to the Manhattan and Statue of Liberty boroughs to retrieve the supplies and take down some Dragon Lords on the way. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid return the supplies only to find out that the Dragon Lords have taken the homeless hostage after finding Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid stole all the supplies back; Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid work together on saving the hostages, but what is a hostage situation turns into a bloody nightmare when a living vampire known as the Morbius sucks the blood and kills both the Dragon Lords and some homeless. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid try to fight Morbius, but Morbius has limited flight, superhuman strength and speed, and can heal himself like the Wolverine (from X-Men). Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid help some of the youth in whom the Dragon Lords have recruited and the surviving homeless. The NYPD arrive on the scene and DeWolffe is beyond horrified. The city is left in shock... just one day before Halloween and Peter and Miles both feel guilty that they could not save everyone in FEAST; Peter feels like he failed Aunt May, but continues on and is determined to find this creature and put an end to it...

It's Halloween night and Miles remembers that he has a date with Gwen at Midtown High for the party; he has two hours before then; Miles puts his life as the Kid Arachnid first, as he feels that Morbius is now his responsibility; Peter and Miles find a trail in Staten Island that leads to the Morbius. Before they actually go confront Morbius, Spider-Man looks at FEAST for any possibly clues as to who Morbius could be; he finds out that Morbius is none other than Dr. Michaels; Morgan Michaels is not even his real name; his real name is Michael Morbius, but he changed it to Morgan Michaels since Norman and Oscorp thought the name sounded surreal and sinister. Michaels has always been a vampire; this week is the week he finally let loose.

Peter and Miles follow the trail to Morbius and find him at none other than Midtown High. Miles becomes extremely worried for Gwen's fate. Miles becomes so distracted on finding Gwen while Peter scans the high school for Morbius; Morbius is seen chasing down lone teenagers out of the school and trying to suck the blood out of them. Spider-Man must put an end to this, while Miles and Gwen have an awkward conversation about why Miles is acting so weird, with Gwen a little frustrated at Miles for keeping secrets from her. Spider-Man follows Morbius only to get bitten and poisoned. Spider-Man goes on an adrenaline trip which faces him off with his worst enemies; the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and the symbiote. Spider-Man struggles beating them, but he eventually does. Peter is cursed and can no longer swing properly because of Morbius's bite. The Dragon Lords attack Midtown after getting word that Morbius was there; they are there to kill the night-beast in revenge for their fallen brethren at FEAST. Kid Arachnid puts an end to this only to find the Wraith there; Wraith helps Miles deal with the Dragon Lords. Wraith then tells Kid Arachnid that her fear gas and Mysterio illusion tech can help him and Spider-Man take down Morbius.

The day after Halloween, New York is going crazy over the new vampire. Mayor Jameson is warning everyone to stay in their homes and mourns over the many deaths at FEAST, using it as an anti-Spider-Man tactic. However, during Jameson's campaign, he is threatened by Roderick Kingsley, his former rival during the campaign for Mayor of New York; Kingsley, being a politician and a former fashion designer who was previously accused with having connections with every gang in New York (ever), lets loose and sends men out to kidnap Jameson, which Spider-Man must stop.

Kid Arachnid and the Wraith come to Spider-Man, with Spider-Man shocked that Yuri came back; Yuri knows how to stop Morbius; with fear gas, Mysterio illusions, and extreme light. However, Spider-Man has a gut feeling that that would not be enough to stop Morbius; Spider-Man, still being extremely sick and lightheaded from being bitten by Morbius, goes to the old Oscorp laboratory and cooks up a non-lethal dart that could revert Morbius back to Michaels; at least temporarily. Spider-Man does this, while Kid Arachnid and the Wraith go finish what is left of the Dragon Lords.

Spider-Man, Wraith, Kid Arachnid, and the Black Cat are now in for a hell of a time; all of Morbius's victims have become vampires, including the ones at FEAST and the few students and faculty he bit at Midtown. During this, Gwen becomes worried for Miles with Miles itching to tell her about his secret identity. Peter advises that Miles should only tell her if he can truly trust her. Morbius has summoned his victims in the underground railroads connected between Manhattan and Queens. Spider-Man uses the bright lights and darts he produced, Wraith uses her fear gas and Mysterio tech, and Kid Arachnid and Black Cat work on stopping the vampires from reaching to the surface and causing hell to reign upon New York. Spider-Man and Wraith work together to defeat Morbius, who is only getting stronger by the minute. The fear gas works a little on Morbius, but Morbius almost kills Yuri just before Spider-Man prevents him from doing so. Spider-Man and the Wraith successfully use the lights and the darts to revert Morbius back to Michaels. Spider-Man tells Yuri to shoot him with the dart to cure him. Spider-Man goes into a short coma and wakes up with Michaels, who is being put away to Ravencroft, the same place Harry is being held. Spider-Man visits Michaels and the Ravencroft doctors let Spider-Man and Michaels know that there is no possible cure to Michaels's blood disease; he is Morbius forever. So when Michaels turns into Morbius again, they will have to subdue him and keep him trapped in Ravencroft. Spider-Man feels extremely bad for Michaels, as Michaels slowly loses his mind. Ravencroft then announces to the city that the city will be funding a cure for Michaels soon. All of the "dead" from FEAST and Midtown are now alive and well all thanks to Spider-Man, Wraith, Black Cat, and Kid Arachnid.

Spider-Man and the Wraith become partners again just like the old days of "Spider-Cop and Yuri". Spider-Man, however, warns Yuri that DeWolffe is still after Yuri so they keep their partnership a secret from DeWolffe.

Story Events:

A couple of days has passed since New York saw the rise of Morbius; Jameson is feeling even more endangered now that he cannot live a day without one of Roderick Kingsley's associates trying to kill him. Kingsley is taking this too far; Spider-Man and Black Cat work together to find Kingsley and dismantle his associates, who are running drug and special projects operations around the city. Out of desperation, Jameson calls upon Spider-Man to help protect him from Kingsley. Even though Jameson has advertised Spider-Man as a menace for so many years, Spider-Man agrees to help his old boss. Kingsley is giving Jameson cold calls via cell phone so Miles traces the signals in New York. Spider-Man and Black Cat only end up finding empty apartments until they find Lefty Donovan, Kingsley's wing man, in one of those apartments. Lefty Donovan escapes Spider-Man and Black Cat.

Spider-Man talks to Kingsley over the phone and finds out that he is manic; he is obsessed with the Green Goblin and his abilities that he wants to become the Green Goblin one day. Spider-Man, hearing Kingsley's tone, knows that Kingsley is not playing around so Spider-Man puts his focus on Kingsley. One day, Peter visits Harry for breakfast at Ravencroft; Dr. Kafka is so close to a cure for Harry; Harry is excited to get out and see Peter and MJ again on a regular basis. The cure she is working on will remove the symbiote, the Globulin Green, and the "Osborn Curse" from Harry's blood stream. Harry opens up about how ashamed he is of his father, as Peter comforts him through the pain. During the breakfast with Harry, Peter mentions the Roderick Kingsley situation; Harry does not know whether or not there is still Globulin Green out there for Kingsley to come in contact with. Because of this, Peter is even more worried for the city, as they might have a second Green Goblin to deal with if Kingsley ever runs into a stash of Globulin Green.

Spider-Man and Black Cat do some digging up regarding Lefty Donovan; Lefty Donovan has been with Kingsley for over ten years, so he is extremely loyal. Spider-Man uses the police databases at the NYPD, with the help of a disgruntled DeWolffe (who is still not over the fact that her close friend, Yuri, is now a murdering vigilante); he eventually finds out that despite being capable enough to escape him and Black Cat back at the apartment complex in Greenwich, he is not very bright; basing off session recordings between Donovan and Kingsley, Kingsley managed to sneak in a tracer that would track where Donovan is; Spider-Man, along with Black Cat, confronts Donovan, who is with a crooked FBI agent known as Jason Macendale. Macendale was hired by Kingsley to clear up Kingsley's name so that nobody will know he actually wants to kill Jameson. Macendale and Donovan are shipping their associates out to upstate New York... where the Globulin Green is. Spider-Man manages to put Macendale out of commission, but Donovan and the Associates escape to upstate New York; Spider-Man and Black Cat camp out in the vehicle transporting them. During one of the conversations, Peter and Felicia get into an argument, as Felicia tells Peter that she wants to be with him, but Peter urges her that he is already with Mary Jane; besides, Peter points out that Felicia only wanted to be with Peter because of his persona as Spider-Man, but Felicia denies that. When the two arrive, they arrive at one of Kingsley's estates; they are surprised to see Kingsley there too; they listen in on Kingsley and Donovan's conversation and finds out that Kingsley wants to test out the Green outside the city. Kingsley has heavily fortified (by heavily, it is almost impossible for Spider-Man and Black Cat to break into) the area and Spider-Man and Black Cat struggle to get to Kingsley and Donovan; when they do, Kingsley has already altered the Globulin Green and made a yellow demon-ish armor for himself, killing Donovan and all of his associates (to ensure that no one will know) and turns himself into the terrifying Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin's glider is much more advanced and he manages to escape upstate New York, telling Spider-Man and Black Cat that he is going back to Manhattan to kill Jameson now. Spider-Man gets Donovan's hard drive including of all of Kingsley's associates and also destroys the remaining Globulin Green in upstate New York (though he and Black Cat are not sure if those are the only ones remaining). Spider-Man and Black Cat panic, as they do not have a ride home to Manhattan; Black Cat steals Donovan's old car and she drives back to Manhattan with Spider-Man.

During Black Cat and Spider-Man's three-hour drive back to the city, Miles contacts DeWolffe and the NYPD when he sees the Hobgoblin flying around the boroughs. Kid Arachnid, DeWolffe, and literally half of the NYPD have men all over the city; Hobgoblin is killing every last known associate of his (keep in mind; Miles, DeWolffe, and the NYPD have no idea that the Hobgoblin is actually Kingsley). Spider-Man and Black Cat arrive back to Manhattan just in time to warn Kid Arachnid and DeWolffe that Kingsley is Hobgoblin; Spider-Man, DeWolffe, Kid Arachnid, Black Cat, and even the Wraith (despite her conflict with DeWolffe) use the hard drive Spider-Man snatched to find all of the associates and stop the Hobgoblin from killing them. Spider-Man traces five known associates and manages to save all of them, having them arrested to Ryker's Island instead for associating themselves with Kingsley.

Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid go to Jameson to warn him about the Hobgoblin, but Jameson does not believe them. Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid, even the day after, see no signs of Hobgoblin; instead, Macendale comes back as Jack O'Lantern, the sadistic pumpkin-wearing mercenary to terrorize Jameson. Macendale essentially betrays Kingsley due to the fact that he wants more money and he is a psychopath; Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid duel it off with Jack O'Lantern, winning very easily. Officials from Ryker's try to hold Macendale down, but Macendale is a stone-cold killer and he is ruthless; he almost kills an official until Spider-Man knocks him out. Macendale curses at Spider-Man, proclaiming that he will return and that somebody has big plans for him...

Jameson informs the city of the City Hall meeting where Jameson, as Mayor, will formally present himself and talk to the City Council about the Roderick Kingsley crisis. Peter and Mary Jane attend the meeting together, as Mary Jane needs this as a story for the Bugle, while Peter accompanies her and watches out for signs of the Hobgoblin, as this could be his first chance to make an attack on Jameson. Peter's spider sense goes off and a yellow gas lights up City Hall, with Hobgoblin swooping in and kidnapping Jameson. Peter suits up and Hobgoblin makes a speech to New York from the Empire State Building; he tells them that Jameson is a joke and that Roderick Kingsley should have become Mayor; Jameson will do nothing for the city. Jameson, un-phased by Hobgoblin's threats, only mocks Hobgoblin further after finding out that Hobgoblin is Kingsley. Spider-Man and Hobgoblin duel it off in the high skyscrapers of Manhattan, as Jameson is stuck in a lair of bombs. Hobgoblin is a lot stronger and faster (but not necessarily smarter) than the Green Goblin. Spider-Man eventually disables Hobgoblin's glider and the Hobgoblin flies out of New York saying, "We'll meet again, Spider-Man!" Spider-Man saves Jameson; the NYPD send all units out to City Hall, where they clean up the mess Hobgoblin/Kingsley made. An arrest warrant is placed on Kingsley and Kingsley loses his position as a politician; he becomes one of the world's most wanted and Spider-Man ensures DeWolffe that he will keep an eye out for Hobgoblin if and when he comes back to New York.

Spider-Man talks to Black Cat about whether or not she is going to stay in New York; she says she will and that her past life of robbing and lying are over; Black Cat becomes one of Spider-Man's partners in crime-fighting, alongside the Wraith and Kid Arachnid; this city will forever need protecting; Peter knows that his responsibility is protecting this city; if he does not, he will have failed his Uncle Ben. But he won't.

 * Demon Within

Story Events:

One month has passed since Hobgoblin fled New York; Peter and Mary Jane prepare, as Dr. Kafka's fascinating work has almost finished healing Harry's genetic disease. When Harry gets out of Ravencroft and back into civilization (eventually), the former trio from Midtown High hug it out. As Peter and Mary Jane connect with Harry, Peter learns of Harry's PTSD from being exposed to Globulin Green and the symbiote at the same time; Harry's memory was a fuzz during the final battle between him, Norman, and Spider-Man, so Harry does not know that Peter is Spider-Man; Harry is worried about the stalker who is stalking Peter, who Peter and Mary Jane reveal is actually Eddie Brock (Harry has never met Eddie).
