== Plot ==
Carlie Cooper is overseeing the good work done by the Champions in the Triskelionfollowing the episodes Brand New Champions and Real Wild Initiation, which is now (as Kamala Khan described) equal to other superhero headquarters like the Avengers Tower, before she encounters Peter Parker, who introduces her the teleportation machineas discovered in the end of the previous episode which his parents used to collect their scientific projectsas discovered in the Family Business arc; from The Parker Errand, to Seeds of Life. Just as they consider checking it out more, Peter is alerted of a reckless fight taking place in Horizon High and, suiting up as Spider-Man, swings for action. There, Spider-Man encounters Hank Pym's former protégé Eric O'Grady, who is sporting a power suit of Alchemax nanotechnology and operating as superhero wannabe "Captain Ultra", fighting slick speedster Slyde, who deliberately threatens innocent citizens with chemical explosives aimed towards them.
Spider-Man is joined in by Mary Jane Watson / Tigra, Harry Lyman / White Wolf, Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid and Lin Lie the Sword Master as they stop the explosives and defeat Slyde, who retreats, but not before Spider-Man overhears Slyde's contact with his mysterious boss. In the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, as O'Grady is scolded at for his recklessness by Nick Fury, Spider-Man passes the recorded conversation between Slyde and his boss to Yuri Watanabe, who recognizes the voice of Slyde's employer as her former mentor Augustus Roman, the former warden of the Cellar who was suspended from the Police Department when S.H.I.E.L.D. exposed him for illegally experimenting on the inmates. Through Slyde's communicators, they discover that Roman has created a power suit which can replicate the powers of the inmates. Spider-Man and White Wolf set out to apprehend Roman, and reluctantly teaming up with Captain Ultra (despite his ego and ambitions to use superhero fame to win back Pym's trust) to do so. Spider-Man, White Wolf and Captain Ultra track down and confront Roman, who now dubs himself the Regent and fights the three. Meanwhile, Tigra, Kid Arachnid and Lin Lie track Slyde down and discreetly follow him in the city's sewers. The chase leads them to an underground laboratory beneath Alchemax, where they find out that Alistair Smythe is also working there close to CEO Tiberius Stone. As they sneak further, Tigra, Kid Arachnid and Lin Lie overhear the two discussing about the weapons Roman ordered them to build and Slyde coming by with another message from Roman, revealing that Roman's Regent suit and Slyde's armor are also made of Alchemax technology.
Just as the three leave, Tigra, Kid Arachnid and Lin Lie infiltrate the lab to gather more evidences of their crimes and report back to S.H.I.E.L.D.. They also discover that Stone and Slyde had also captured homeless citizens for experimentation and free them, sending them to the F.E.A.S.T. shelters. Meanwhile, the Regent proves himself a powerful adversary, who overwhelms Spider-Man, White Wolf and Captain Ultra; the latter has his powers duplicated by Regent, who uses them to cause a fire escape to collapse, forcing Spider-Man and White Wolf to save the people from getting crushed, while Regent escapes. Spider-Man and White Wolf have a heated argument with Captain Ultra over situation; Captain Ultra berates at Spider-Man and White Wolf for "not being the S.H.I.E.L.D. champions Fury promised", while Spider-Man and White Wolf scold at him for his reckless ego having put innocent people in danger. Their argument is called off by Fury and Watanabe, who have them focus on the mission. Just then, Spider-Man (having scanned the Regent's armor with his mask's optics) contacts Carlie and Brawn, and uploads the data he collected on their computers, confirming theirs and Tigra's suspicions that Alchemax's employees are also involved with Regent's plans. Just then, Betty Brant and Robbie Robertson broadcast to New York City, and report about Regent attacking and destroying the New York Penitentiary, killing several inmates (including Spencer Smythefollowing his arrest in Season 1 episode Ultimate Spider-Man) in the progress.
Spider-Man, White Wolf and Captain Ultra rush there to fight Regent again, but not before Spider-Man is advised by Doctor Pym to remove the core of Regent's armor before sending him to the Negative Zone, which Captain Ultra intends to do "without thinking twice". Regent again overpowers Captain Ultra and teleports White Wolf to Horizon High, leaving Spider-Man to fight him alone as he overhears Regent claiming he seeks the dimensions Richard and Mary Parker explored to collect the discarded Oscorp protocols to become unstoppable. Analyzing the weaknesses of Regent's armor, Spider-Man overpowers him and damages his suit's core, but before he can remove it from Regent's armor, Captain Ultra recovers and (against Spider-Man and Watanabe's advice) uses the Quantum Gun to send Regent to the Negative Zone before leaving. Tigra, Kid Arachnid and Lin Lie manage to gather the evidences while waiting for the right opportunity to expose Stone. Meanwhile, Stone and Smythe contact Regent and inform him of their failure, but Regent comments it was all part of the plan; he may take long to return from the Negative Zone, but when he returns, he will return prepared. Overhearing of this through a tracer he implanted on Regent's armor, Peter begins thinking of ways to prepare himself and his teammates for the great threat Regent will unleash. He opts on seeking the missing Oscorp relics in the dimensions his parents explored and destroy them before Regent returns, and Carlie (who had been reviewing the dimensional portal while Peter was out) offers to help by suggesting the team members who should follow him in each universe. As they discuss the teams, Peter, Carlie and the rest of the team are amazed to take a brief spot on the symbols of the hero factions residing on the new universesthe symbols are identified offscreen the insignias of the Resistance in Star Wars, the Freedom Fighters in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, the Autobots in Transformers, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
