== Plot ==
One week after Red Skull's death and Norman Osborn's arrestevents of previous episode, Peter Parker is resuming his life anew as a student in Horizon High School and as the superhero Spider-Man, while his sister Teresa is putting her civilian life on track while enrolling as a junior student in Bilderberg Academy under requests from Tony Stark's wife Pepper Potts, Mantis is living freely in the forest of New York, Harry Lyman became a chief executive at Horizon Labs, and AC-5 and Jarvis had become assistant teachers in Horizon High. As he resumes his studies, Peter and his friends also welcome Kamala Khan, who had dropped out of Midtown High School due to its lack of progress to enroll at Horizon High. Everything seems well, until Scorpion resurfaces seeking the Neuro-Cortex main computer on the behalf of the Jackallast seen in Spider-Island, Part 5.
Suiting up for action before Scorpion can commit any real injury, Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel fight him off until he retreats, but unknowingly dropping one of his communicators. Through the communicator, Spider-Man and the team discover that the Jackal has formed a new Sinister Six, consisting of himself, Silver Sableintroduced in Take Two, and last seen in Between Ock and a Hard Place, Electrointroduced and last seen in City of Heroes, Part 1: Spider-Gwen Returns, Alistair Smythe / Spider-Slayerlast seen in Hobgoblin, Part 1, Molten Manintroduced and last seen in City of Heroes, Part 2: Where There’s Smoke, and Scorpion, and seeks to take over a missing weapon of the Kree Empire and fill the power vacuum left after Osborn's arrest and the fall of Oscorp. They also overhear that Vulture and the Wake Riderslast seen in City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats are on the loose again and seeking the same artifact, which will bring doom to New York if in wrong hands. Willing to prevent Jackal and Vulture from causing the impending disaster, Spider-Man and his friends and hero allies assemble as the Champions. The young heroes spread out and explore the city, searching for evidences of the villains' plans and the weapon they are searching for, with Carlie Cooper still monitoring them. Contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury and officer Yuri Watanabe, Spider-Man and the team are urged to meet with their agent Phillip Lawson, who happens to be Teresa's former guardian and the renegade Kree soldier and scientist Mar-Vell.
Regrouping in his lab, Spider-Man and the team learn from Mar-Vell that the weapon Jackal and Vulture are after is programmed to awaken the Sleeper, an ancient giant robot designed to eliminate targeted populations as part of Ronan the Accuser's old plans to terminate the humans on Earth, and turn the planet into a wasteland, letting the young heroes know that Jackal and Vulture will unknowingly destroy themselves and their own people if they get their hands on the weapon. Deducing that the best way to destroy the Sleeper is to trick it into destroying the weapon (which is its power source as Ace confirms), the Champions exact to seek the Sleeper, which is located beneath the island where Madame Masque's ship was destroyed. Just as the young heroes make it there, they are ambushed by both the Sinister Six and the Wake Riders and a fight issues. Alerted of the brawl, the Sleeper's Kree security robots awaken and attack both the Champions and the villains. Though most of the robots are destroyed and the villains are defeated, one of them triggers the unguarded weapon and activates the Sleeper, which bursts out of the underground and sets course to New York.
Both Jackal and Vulture attempt to take control the Sleeper, but only to be shoved aside and knocked unconscious. As the rest of the Champions work to slow the Sleeper down to prevent it from reaching New York, Spider-Man and Mar-Vell make it inside the Sleeper's body with the weapon. Overcoming a series of traps and security systems, they reach the core and implant the weapon in it. The Sleeper discovers them and tries to obliterate them, wounding Mar-Vell in the progress. Just then, Spider-Man redirects the Sleeper's energy blast into its own core, overloading it and causing the Sleeper to collapse as Spider-Man gets himself and Mar-Vell out before the Sleeper explodes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrive to retrieve the team. As Mar-Vell is given medical attention and the incapacitated villains are imprisoned (although Smythe is revealed to have been controlling his Spider-Slayer suit remotely on his other boss' behalf), the Champions again earn praise from Fury and Watanabe while they vow to find a cure for Jackal and revert him back to Raymond Warren (while Ace confirms that it is the real one and not a decoy clone like last timeas the one seen in Season 1 episodes Party Animals, Ultimate Spider-Man and The Rise of Doc Ock, Part 4). Later, the Champions begin discussing about the need of a headquarters for them to meet more. Peter and Teresa eventually opt in letting them use the Triskelion, which is shown having the team's logo in the top.
