## Plot

### Season 1

Gifted teenager Peter Parker is given super powers when he is bitten by a radioactive spider during a school field trip to Oscorp Industries. After the death of his Uncle Ben by a burglar that he hesitated to stop at a wrestling arena, Peter comes to his own terms of being the superhero Spider-Man. Some time later, Peter begins learning how to balance his crime-fighting career with his new enrollment at Horizon High, a school for students with genius-level intellect run by headmaster Max Modell. Joining Peter in his ordeals against Jackal, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Rhino, the Smythes (Spencer and Alistair), and numerous other villains are his classmates Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales, and Anya Corazon, as well as his best friend Harry Osborn.

Over the course of the school year, Peter merges with and removes a parasitic alien that turns his costume black, and also trains Miles on how to use his own Spider Powers as an "Ultimate Spider-Man" after he ends up getting bitten by a genetically-modified spider as well. Peter and his friends eventually discover that Jackal (who is actually Gwen's uncle Raymond Warren) created the spiders that gave them their Spider Powers for the purpose of turning everyone in New York into an army of spider-like monsters dubbed "Man-Spiders", but Raymond's scheme is thwarted through the teamwork of Peter, Miles, Anya and Harry. During this period, Gwen and Anya develop Spider Powers of their own, with the former assuming the "Spider-Gwen" alias, and Harry learns Spider-Man's secret identity.

With Osborn Academy destroyed at the climax of the "Spider-Island" crisis, Harry dons the Hobgoblin armor and discovers that his father Norman Osborn had orchestrated his expulsion from Horizon High at the school year's beginning as part of his vision of making his son execute Spider-Man and be New York's definite hero. Harry ultimately chooses to side with Peter instead of his father and Norman is apparently killed in an explosion. As summer vacation begins, Harry takes over his father's business and discovers a hidden chamber filled with Norman's Goblin technology while Max creates a monument of Spider-Man at Horizon High as the school's unofficial mascot.

### Season 2

Peter navigates through both his sophomore year and his career at the *Daily Bugle* while finding that he must once again contend with both Doctor Octopus and the V-252, the latter of whom has now assumed the name of "Venom" after merging itself with his jealous co-worker Eddie Brock. While Peter uncovers a bounty that has been seemingly placed on him by Chameleon, Anya adopts the "Spider-Girl" alias when her Spider Powers from the "Spider-Island" incident resurface and forms a "Spider Team" with Miles and Gwen. Doctor Octopus is revealed to be the true mastermind behind the bounty and successfully manages to swap bodies with Spider-Man, becoming the Superior Spider-Man. Around the same time, Gwen acquires old and new Spider Powers thanks to the Blood Gem relic and begins working alongside Miles and Anya under the "Ghost-Spider" alias.

After being swayed by Peter's memories of Uncle Ben into becoming a hero, Octavius begins working on methods to become more efficient in crime-fighting than Peter ever was, but his ruthlessness prompts Miles to have the Avengers investigate on his behalf. Meanwhile, Peter's consciousness escapes the Living Brain via the Neuro Cortex and downloads himself into Octavius' discarded tentacles after encountering memories of Octavius' past in the process. Octavius (as Peter) re-enrolls at Midtown High and befriends the assistant chemistry teacher Anna Maria Marconi. Discovering how wrong he was about himself and Spider-Man during a fight against a genetically-altered Venom, Octavius reunites Peter's consciousness and body before his tentacles degrade the former into nothing. After saving Anna Maria from Venom, Spider-Man honors Octavius' heroism by placing his consciousness back in his inactive body. Soon after becoming his former self once more, Spider-Man takes it upon himself to rescue the Avengers from Regent, who has been replicating the abilities of the various super villains incarcerated at the prison known as the Cellar to imprison the Avengers in another dimension. Octavius recovers from his coma in time for him and Anna Maria to help Spider-Man free Cloak and Dagger so they can rescue the missing Avengers and defeat Regent.

After Spider-Man stops the rampaging speedster Slyde with help from Octavius (now going by Doctor Octopus once more), they discover the existence of a recently formed cult-like organization who are calling themselves the Goblin Nation, armed with the same kind of Goblin technology used by Norman. While investigating Norman's hidden Goblin tech chamber, Spider-Man and Hobgoblin discover the Goblin Nation's leader the Goblin King is none other than Adrian Toomes. Working together with the rest of the Spider Team, they are able to defeat the Goblin Nation's various clans (consisting of Electro's Electro Goblins, Silvermane's Cyber Goblins, and Crossbones' War Goblins). When Toomes takes control of a powerful Goblin Mech in a bid to destroy the city, Octavius stops him by disabling it with the Neuro Cortex but fades away into light particles in the process. At Octavius's funeral, Peter reconciles with Gwen, Anya, and Max for what happened when Octavius was Superior Spider-Man. To his surprise, Peter is also re-enrolled at Horizon High thanks to Max receiving a recommendation letter from Octavius prior to the latter's death.

### Season 3 (*Maximum Venom*)

Two weeks after Octavius' death, Spider-Man finds himself dealing with a machine called the Technovore rampaging through Horizon High and ends up using a synthetic copy of Venom created by Max (who has also been aware of his true identity ever since the downfall of the Goblin Nation) to stop it. Peter and Max discover that the Technovore's rampage had been orchestrated by the school's new teacher Curt Connors, as part of a mission to investigate Max's "corrupt operations" involving Venom. Upon being released by Connors in the process, the original Venom revitalizes himself using his synthetic copy as he escapes to Duncan Valley, where the meteor that brought him to Earth had crashed. Recovering an energy seed that had also been inside the meteor, Venom uses it to shoot out a beam-like beacon into space, until Spider-Man manages to stop the beacon, and in doing so apparently kills Venom. However, in response to the beacon, a massive swarm of Klyntar make their way to Earth from Venom's home planet for an invasion. As the Guardians of the Galaxy had worked with Spider-Man to deal with a prior Klyntar-related incident, Star-Lord sends Groot to Earth ahead of the swarm with a message to warn Peter about the impending invasion. Peter and Miles decode it with the help of Ironheart, Totally Awesome Hulk, and Doctor Strange, after they all rescue Groot from the clutches of A.I.M. and Baron Mordo.

As the first wave of Klyntar makes planetfall, they use the Avengers they possessed on their way to Earth as their advance team to possess the heroes of Earth one-by-one, so the rest of the swarm can quickly do the same to the citizens of New York City, with only a few survivors including Spider-Man, Max, and Aunt May. Convincing Marc Spector to both resume his role as a hero and help him save the Earth, Spider-Man rescues the survivors. Using the Venomized Groot that Max had captured, Spider-Man and company create a synthetic Klyntar named Anti-Venom as an antidote to the Klyntar infestation. After everyone on Earth is cured by the Anti-Venomized Groot, Doctor Strange takes him into space so the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy can be cured. Later, while securing evidence of Max's innocence for the school board, Spider-Man is forced to give a testimony after finding Aleksei Sytsevich has been transformed back into Rhino by Swarm, and successfully makes it compelling enough. However, Connors wins the trial by subsequently blackmailing Peter into unmasking himself, resulting in the school board firing Max and making Connors the interim headmaster until the end of the season. While Gwen and Anya are at first distraught by the discovery of his real identity, they eventually forgive Peter (largely through his using of advice from Mary Jane Watson) after they and Miles defeat Swarm and shut down his operations. Despite being prohibited by the head administrator from being Spider-Man at Horizon High, the school board also decides to keep knowledge of Peter's identity a secret from the public.

During the following semester, Connor runs Horizon High like a dictator while exploiting the students' work for ulterior, unknown motives. After an acid-based accident caused by new student Grady Scraps reveals evidence of his return, Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider track down Jackal, while Miles and Anya investigate the teacher's lounge for clues, discovering Connors has stolen the seed recovered from Venom's meteor before being ambushed by Chameleon (who has been posing Anya's stepsister Maria). As the Spider Team confronts their enemies, Connors reveals that his and Venom's recent actions were done on the behalf of Norman, who is barely alive following his fight with Spider-Man and Hobgoblin the previous year and is resurrected into a hybrid of Venom and Jackal's DNA known as the Dark Goblin. However, the Spider Team reprogram his healing pod to revert him back to his original human form. During the battle between the Spider Team and Norman's party, Swarm is revealed to actually be Miles' father Jefferson Davis, who flees after seeing the error of his ways, whereas Connors transforms into the Lizard upon discovering Norman's promise to him for a cure in exchange for his services was a lie and escapes into the city. With Norman's conspiracy and Connors' true colors exposed, the school board reinstate Max as headmaster while Norman, Jackal, and Chameleon are taken into custody.

During a school dance celebrating Max's return, a fragment of Venom that had been recuperating within his bloodstream via a parasitic relationship possesses Max and uses a transportation device called the Matter Transport Portal to summon his superiors Scream, Scorn, and Mania, who harshly order him to retrieve a dragon-like weapon called the World-Killer to destroy Earth. After defeating the rest of the Spider Team, the Symbiote Sisters obtain Venom's seed from Mary Jane and Grady, who were trying to keep it from them, by tricking them into giving it to them. They feed it to the World-Killer, allowing it to power up so it can destroy Earth. After being convinced by Spider-Man to overcome Venom's control, Max destroys both the World-Killer and the seed it ate, which in turn vanquishes the Klyntar for good at the cost of demolishing Horizon High. To keep the spirit of their former school alive, Peter is inspired by Max and Mary Jane to convince Iron Man to help him, Miles, Gwen, Anya, Harry, and Grady fund a tech laboratory called Worldwide Engineering Brigade "W.E.B." at an abandoned warehouse, believing that a bright future is ahead of them.

## Characters

### Spider Team

The **Spider Team** are the primary protagonists of the series, being Horizon High students with spider-like abilities. The team was first formed during the "Spider Island" arc, when Spider-Man, Miles, Spider-Gwen, Anya, and Harry banded together to cure everyone of the Man-Spider mutations. The Spider Team was resurged during the "Bring On the Bad Guys" arc after Anya keeps her powers, and was later officially named as such in "The Day Without Spider-Man" after Gwen regains her powers from when she was Spider-Gwen. In "Vengeance Of Venom" Pt. 2, the Spider Team (sans Spider-Man) are among the heroes captured by the Klyntar during their invasion of Earth before being cured by Anti-Venom off-screen. Following Venom's demise in "Maximum Venom" Pt. 2, the Spider Team becomes founding members of the **Worldwide Engineering Brigade** (or "**W.E.B.**" for short).

Outside of the Spider heroes, he gets the most screen time, plot importance, and characterization in Season 1 out of Peter's circle of friends. Throughout Season 1, Harry was resentful of Spider-Man, blaming him for his expulsion from Horizon High, yet supportive towards Peter. Harry eventually discovers his best friend's secret identity during the "Spider Island" arc, putting his friendship with Peter at risk as he still blames Spider-Man for his misfortunes. In "The Hobgoblin" Pt. 1, Harry receives the Hobgoblin technology from Norman and reconciles with Peter after saving him from Octavius' mind control. In "The Hobgoblin" Pt. 2, Harry ultimately sides with Peter after seeing Norman's true colors.

He turns the Osborn Commandos into the Sinister Five yet his plans are foiled by Spider-Man and Hobgoblin. In Season 2, Octavius' body falls into a coma and his consciousness ends up in cyberspace to remain alive before relocating himself into Spider-Man's body, adopting the Superior Spider-Man alias. Despite his original agenda, Octavius restores himself and Peter to their former selves after realizing what it truly means to be a hero. When he wakes up from his coma, he seems to be on his way towards being an ally. Octavius dies by fading away into light particles after using the Neuro Cortex to disable Toomes's mech, leaving his tentacles behind. He is honored as a hero by the rest of the Spider Team, who attend his funeral along with Anna Maria and Max.

### Villains

#### Primary villains

* **Norman Osborn / Dark Goblin** (voiced by Josh Keaton) - Harry's ruthless father and Oscorp's original CEO. During Season 1, Norman secretly orchestrated his son's suspension from Horizon High and created Osborn Academy in an attempt to make Harry New York's definite hero, with Spider-Man's very existence being an interference with that vision. Despite his manipulative and corrupt nature, he genuinely cares for his son and sought to prevent Jackal from carrying out his master plan. Although he was initially presumed dead following the destruction of Jackal's lab, he resurfaced as the Spider King of Jackal's Man-Spider army. Norman donned a replica of the Hobgoblin armor and tried to end Spider-Man himself only to be ultimately betrayed by Harry and presumed dead after an explosion. By the time Norman resurfaces, he was revealed to have been injured to the point of missing his left arm and right leg, being deathly thin, and the right side of his face was burnt. Over the following months, he began watching Spider-Man in the shadows while making his own villain team to take him down. In *Maximum Venom*, Norman finally reveals himself upon being resurrected as the Dark Goblin using a combination of Venom's DNA and the Jackal's latest serum. He has also been collaborating with Dr. Connors, Jackal, Swarm, and Chameleon to formulate a conspiracy to turn the board of education against Spider-Man and Max, essentially leading his forces to take over Horizon High, out of revenge for the fall of Osborn Academy.

In his earlier life, Raymond was a former staff member at Empire State University who was dismissed for his genetic experiments. In season 1, it is revealed that he has genetically modified his collection of spiders to create an entire army of spider/Jackal-hybrids at his command.

After a long absence, Jackal returns in *Maximum Venom* as part of Norman's conspiracy, having traded his collection of serums for a synthetic Klyntar created by Norman to use in his personal scheme of turning Ghost-Spider (whose secret identity he has knowledge of) into a Jackal-like entity.

Vulture later joins the Osborn Commandos before being brainwashed by Doctor Octopus and is later freed by Hobgoblin. In Season 2, Adrian works to reform himself before being recruited by the Wake Riders as their new leader. It is eventually revealed that Adrian has established the Goblin Nation, becoming its semi-charismatic leader the Goblin King, so that he can be recognized for his technology (which has been claimed by Oscorp) by assimilating Electro and Silvermane's respective inventions and stealing the Hobgoblin's schematics.

In Season 1, the V-252 was sent over to Horizon High from the crash site of a meteor at Duncan Valley for research only for it to get stolen by Black Cat.

In Season 2, the Venom symbiote merges with Eddie and secretly exploits his host's jealousy towards Peter. During an attempt to publicly expose Spider-Man's identity, Venom is put in a coma by an experimental sonic device, eventually reawakening from stasis when he is mutated into a blob-like monster unable to merge with a host. Assaulting Midtown High in search of Spider-Man, Venom discovers Superior Spider-Man's consciousness in Spider-Man's body. After Octavius restores Peter to his former self, Venom is overloaded into submission using electricity. In *Maximum Venom*, Venom is freed by Dr. Connors under Norman's orders. Escaping to Duncan Valley, Venom uses an energy seed contained in his old meteor to summon the other Klyntar from his home planet before being mostly destroyed by Spider-Man while his race's invasion is thwarted by Anti-Venom. However, a fragment of Venom is revealed to have survived and recuperated within Max's bloodstream through a parasitic relationship before possessing Max and summoning the Symbiote Sisters to Earth. Unfortunately for Venom, Max is able to overcome the symbiote's control before destroying his seed, permanently vanquishing Venom for good.

He released the Technovore from Horizon High's project graveyard and made it look like an accident caused by Grady in order for Spider-Man to showcase the synthetic symbiote copy, and was temporarily possessed by Venom. Connors successfully manages to take control of both Horizon High and Max's lab by commandeering Max's job until the end of the term, and retrieves the symbiote seed from Venom's meteor so that it can be used to restore his employer. He also blackmails Spider-Man into unmasking himself in front of the school board. But during the fight between the Spider Team and the Dark Goblin's team, Connors discovers there is no full cure for his mutation and transforms into the Lizard before escaping into the city.
