## Plot

Following his debut in *Captain America: Civil War*, Peter Parker returns to his normal life as a high school student in Queens, New York. He is eager to prove himself as a superhero to his mentor, Tony Stark/Iron Man, and hopes to join the Avengers. While impatiently waiting for his next mission, Peter spends his time fighting petty crimes in his neighborhood and documenting his adventures on his phone.

Peter's world is turned upside down when he discovers a group of criminals led by Adrian Toomes, also known as the Vulture. Toomes salvages and sells advanced alien technology left over from previous Avengers battles. Determined to stop Toomes and prove himself to be more than just a "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man", Peter sets out to uncover Toomes' plans and bring him to justice.

Despite his best efforts, Peter struggles to balance his responsibilities as Spider-Man with his personal life. He faces challenges at school, maintains a secret identity, and deals with the pressures of being a teenage superhero. Throughout his journey, Peter learns important lessons about responsibility, selflessness, and what it truly means to be a hero.

In a climactic battle aboard a ferry, Peter confronts Toomes and prevents him from selling dangerous weaponry to criminals. However, the ferry is left in jeopardy and Iron Man intervenes to save the day. Disappointed in Peter's recklessness, Tony takes back the advanced Spider-Man suit he had given him as a symbol of trust.

Realizing the importance of personal growth and accepting his limitations, Peter returns to his humble homemade suit. He confronts Toomes one final time and saves him from a potentially fatal accident, showing his compassion and understanding of the gray areas between right and wrong.

Afterwards, Tony realizes that Peter has truly become a hero and offers him a chance to join the Avengers. However, Peter decides to decline the invitation and continue his education, believing there is a lot he still needs to learn.

Back in Queens, Peter is ready to embrace his role as both a student and a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. He continues to fight crime and protect his city, knowing that with great power comes great responsibility.
