Plot
Gwen Stacy is asleep in her bed until she begins having dreams of her mother Helen in the night when she disappeared 10 years ago, and in an unknown space. Initially believing it is just another nightmare, Gwen begins hearing Helen's voice in her head, calling her name, while Gwen also envisions her uncle Raymond Warren having been responsible for Helen's disappearance. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure flies towards the New York Penitentiary, and bombs J. Jonah Jameson's cell, killing him.

On the following morning, Gwen is approached by her friends, who comfort her over her recent nightmares. Entering Gwen's mind, Mary Jane Watson has a vision of Helen, and senses that she is still alive, and trapped somewhere in the Quantum Realm. Peter Parker, Harry Lyman, Kevin Walker, and Miles Morales discover another of Warren's secret laboratories within the remains of Oscorp, and find files revealing that Warren never was Gwen's uncle, and took her in as his "niece" after sending Helen to the Quantum Realm. Despite distraught with this truth, Gwen accepts help from her little cousin Cassie Lang, as well as Anya Corazon, Mary Jane and Kevin in accessing the Quantum Realm, and find a way to retrieve Helen, while Peter and the others seek to apprehend Warren. Peter, Harry, and Miles are also met with Yuri Watanabe and Amadeus Cho's fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy trainees—Gwen's cousin Sharon Carter / White Swan and her lover Sam Wilson / Falcon—, who are investigating the identity of Jameson's killer. Finding a message from the killer indicating that Warren is the next target, Spider-Man rushes to S.H.I.E.L.D. to set up an ambush, only to find out that Warren (despite cured from his Jackal condition ) escaped with help from a Doombot sent by Doctor Doom to retrieve him. Spider-Man is soon confronted by Jameson's killer: the Red Goblin, a red-suited, female version of the Green Goblin.

Spider-Man defeats Red Goblin, who retreats, but not before Spider-Man analyzes her biological DNA for check-up. Through the analyzed DNA, Jarvis identifies the Red Goblin as Jameson's illegitimate first born daughter Joanna, who was abandoned by her father along with her mother in Russia before Joanna's mother was killed by Warren, and Joanna was raised and trained by the agents of the Red Room. Upon obtaining Norman Osborn's Green Goblin technology, Joanna turned against the Red Room agents so she could seek her past persecutors, and have her revenge on Warren and Jameson. Spider-Man, Kid Arachnid, and White Wolf agree to chase after Warren in Latveria (where Warren is being taken), with White Swan and Falcon providing them transport and following them. Through archives written by her grandfather Dr. Hank Pym, Gwen and her friends find and access the Quantum Tunnel, and use it to enter the Quantum Realm, where they find Helen trapped in a quantum field which is keeping her frozen in time, and free her. Meanwhile, Spider-Man and his group arrive in Latveria, and confront Warren, who is seeking help from Doctor Doom to retain his lost powers as the Jackal, and execute his plan to finish his cloning of Gwen, for whom he replaced his long deceased daughter Sarah. Just as Doctor Doom discovers the group and attacks them, Red Goblin emerges, ready to get her revenge on Warren.

White Swan and Falcon fight Red Goblin while Spider-Man duels with Doctor Doom, and Warren unleashes the incomplete Jackal clones to attack Latveria, forcing the Doombots to contain them, and Kid Arachnid and White Wolf to escort the citizens to safety. Warren attempts to take advantage of the situation to complete the creation of Gwen's clone, but Gwen (arriving there with help from Jarvis) stops him and destroys the cloning machine, while Warren is captured by Tigra, who places him in a hypnotic trance which forces him to envision himself in oblivion, and Sarah returning as a zombie, haunting him for life. Red Goblin avoids White Swan and Falcon, and sets out to attack Gwen, revealing that she is also hunting Helen for her knowledge of the Quantum Realm's secrets, which are the key for Joanna to bring her mother to life. Overhearing this, Spider-Man defeats Doctor Doom, and incapacitates Red Goblin, damaging her glider, and causing it to fly uncontrollably towards the power core of Doom's castle, exploding it and severely injuring Joanna. The young heroes return home while Warren and Joanna are arrested, and Tigra hypnotizes Doom to erase his memories of the incident, and prevent him from planning revenge on the Americans. Next day, Gwen and her cousins are with Helen, who is being nursed by Peter's aunt May in a hospital, and expecting full recovery before being happily visited by Hank and Hope Van Dyne, and Gwen seeks to make great changes in Warren's former home, with her friends offering to help.
