Peter Parker, a forensic crime scene assistant for The New York City Police Department, is bitten by a radioactive spider that is irradiated after a particle accelerator from OsCorp explodes. In a coma for nine months, Peter awakens in Oscorp Labs, having been placed in the care of its founder Norman Osborn and his assistants Dr. Curt Connors and Michael Morbius. Peter learns that he has gained the abilities of a spider, and that there were other "metahumans" created from the explosion. One of them, Pierre Fresson, is robbing banks with his ability to control wind. In order to stop Fresson, Peter is outfitted with a suit designed by Osborn. He tracks down Fresson and with Officer Jefferson Davis, who learns of Peter's abilities, Peter is able to stop Fresson, who is killed by Jefferson. With his new powers, Peter vows to exonerate his aunt May, who is incarcerated for murdering her husband, Ben, whom Peter witnessed, at a young age, being killed by another metahuman. He chooses the alias "Spider-Man" for his alter ego. Osborn, secretly revealed to be neither paraplegic nor needing glasses, reads a newspaper from 2024 stating the missing status of Spider-Man.
