Premise[]

Spider-Man is assigned to watch over and train Mary Jane's younger brother Kevin (who had donned the mantle of Scarlet Spider) while Mary Jane trains Liz Allan, who had developed new powers after being infused with a formula composed of samples of the Super-Soldier serum combined with Scorcher's pyrokinetic capsules, to become the new heroine Firestar. At the same time, the Avengers and the New Warriors work to stop cosmic-powered alien Firelord, who had managed to obtain a prototype of the Mind Stone to manipulate the minds of Fire-based villains (Scorcher, Molten Man, the Fire Demons of Muspelheim and a Green Goblin from another dimension) and plans to have Earth consumed by fire and smoke.

Plot[]

The episode starts with Spider-Man training Mary Jane's younger brother Kevin Watson, who developed spider-powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider experimented on by Spencer Smythe one day before Miles Morales and Anya Corazon were bitten[1], in becoming Scarlet Spider. The duo then go on a crime-fighting spree on which they end up battling Molten Man and Scorcher, who had broken through a Hammer Industries facility to obtain one of the Super-Adaptoid's power cores. They defeat Molten Man and Scorcher, who turn out to have been mind-controlled by another unknown villain. Just then, one of the Super Soldier capsules from Scorcher's armors falls off and explodes next to Liz Allan, who was watching the situation from the outside.

As the two Spider-Men check on her, Liz finds herself still alive, but infused by the chemicals. Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider take her to the Avengers Facility before Scorcher and Molten Man recover from their bruises unaware of what happened. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure watches the event from space while carrying a Cosmic staff. Meanwhile, Hank Pym is practicing the use of his old Goliath suit until Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider arrive with the unconscious Liz, who then wakes up to discover she developed Fire-based powers. While Mary Jane and Air-Force / Sharon Carter train Liz, Spider-Man is informed of a mysterious force which is attempting to brainwash Fire-powered metahumans. While they are clueless to figure out what it is, the headquarters is soon invaded by pack of Fire Demons of Muspelheim, which the heroes (joined in the fight by the New Warriors) soon fight back again. After defeating the Demons, Thor is made to believe the ancient Fire Demon Surtur is behind this attack until Mary Jane reads one of the Demons' mind and learns that the mastermind is another alien of Cosmic Power. Through one of the Demons, the mastermind is revealed to be Firelord, one of the former heralds of the World Devourer Galactus. Firelord eventually offers to "spare the Earth" if the Avengers surrender Liz Allan to him.

The Avengers naturally refuse as they know even if they did what he demands, Firelord would not honor the deal. The alien gives them one hour to reconsider. Despite pleased with the Avengers' support, Liz still offers to surrender. But Spider-Man denies this by claiming they will not quit without fighting. While debating about a plan, Spider-Man reveals to the Avengers he recorded his and Scarlet's fight against Scorcher and Molten Man and the recordings reveal that the two villains were both a affected by mind-control radiation (which is the same which affected the Fire Demons), making the other heroes deduce Firelord is using an unknown mind-control device on the fire-powered metahumans. While the Avengers prepare for battle, Liz dons a special suit (from the Stark Industries resources Peter bought[2]) which provides her immunity to both fire and mind control. The Avengers take Liz to the Alaskan S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, where Phil Coulson presents a Tesseract-powered device which will send Firelord to as far away as possible from Earth. Just then, they are ambushed again by Firelord, who arrives with the brainwashed Fire Demons to take Liz in. Using a small prototype of the Tesseract he owns by himself, Firelord conjures a portal which summons an alternate version of the Green Goblin... one who is said to have succeeded in destroying Spider-Man in his universe.

While the Avengers are kept occupied by his spawns, Firelord attempts to brainwash and abduct Liz for his plans to have Earth consumed by fire and smoke. But thanks to the anti-mind-control functions of her suit and her own unbreakable willpower, Liz fights back and they engage in a fierce fight which ends with Liz stripping Firelord off his mind control staff and his portal protector. As Liz and Firelord continue fighting, Scarlet Spider takes the portal protector and uses it to send the alternate Goblin to outer space, where he ends up freezing to death. Liz keeps Firelord distracted long enough for Spider-Man to finish the codifications on Coulson's device and use it to teleport him to Jotunheim, where the Frost Giants attack and freeze Firelord to death, and the Fire Demons are teleported via Bifrost back to Muspelheim with no memories of the event. Back in New York, Kevin joins the New Warriors and Liz (now dubbed Firestar) joins the Phoenix Corps while vowing to carry on the lessons they learned, much to Peter and Mary Jane's pleasure.
