Chapter Summaries

Peter found that Blonde Spider-Man’s soul was re-forming and used Web Energy to speed up its recovery. He discovered his body was buried beneath Fisk Tower, where Miles and Jefferson were caught in a battle with a mysterious spotted opponent.

• Peter refused to devour Blonde Spider-Man’s soul and used Web Energy to help its scattered fragments reunite, shortening its recovery time to less than a month.
• Peter drifted upward and realized his body was likely buried beneath Fisk Tower, where Okmax Company workers were clearing the Super Particle Collider wreckage.
• An alarm prompted workers to evacuate as Miles encountered his father, Jefferson Davis, at the construction site.
• A white figure covered in black spots attacked Miles and Jefferson, opening strange holes in space to move through them.
• Miles shoved Jefferson out of danger, but they fell toward Peter while Miles fought the unfamiliar opponent.

Black Spider-Man faced The Spot, who blamed him for ruining his life and revealed that his experiments had created the spider that bit Miles. Peter arrived in the Venom Blade Suit and joined Black Spider-Man as The Spot charged at them.

• The Spot dragged Black Spider-Man through spatial wormholes while demanding that he remember their connection.
• Peter rescued Jefferson from a fall, introduced himself as Venom Blade Spider-Man, and watched Miles fight The Spot.
• Miles crushed The Spot under junk pulled through a wormhole, but The Spot crawled free and explained that his collider experiment had brought the black Number 42 spider that bit Miles.
• The Spot accused Miles of mocking him, destroying his life, and creating him, while Peter revealed that he and Miles had met before when Peter had blond hair.
• The Spot's quantum energy made space ripple as he charged at Peter and Miles, who readied themselves to fight.

Peter reunited with Miles and asked him to dig Peter Parker’s buried body out from beneath the sealed area around Fisk Tower. Miles agreed to find construction plans and a way in, while Peter returned to his soul state and disappeared underground.

• The Spot fell into a strange black hole, and Peter and Black Spider-Man wondered where he had gone.
• Black Spider-Man recognized Peter, introduced him to Captain Davis, and reunited with him after a year apart.

• Peter told Miles that Peter could still be revived but needed to be dug out, and Miles promised to find the plans and an entry point.
• Peter explained that his suit was draining energy, then dismissed it into his soul and burrowed underground as a spirit.

The Spot discovered that his transformed body could open portals to parallel universes and began exploring them. Meanwhile, Peter continued researching his nanobot suit in his own world while leaving part of his consciousness with Blonde Spider-Man to await Miles's signal.

• The Spot poked through a portal into a comic-book world, where a startled woman repeatedly hit his head with her handbag before he withdrew.
• The Spot briefly opened a portal beside the Daily Bugle in the Lego Universe, alarming the pedestrians and prompting Lego Peter to contact Miguel about an Extra-Dimensional Entity.
• The Spot visited a convenience store in Earth-668, awkwardly bought gum after the clerk stayed unimpressed, then fell out of his body-space and realized his holes let him travel between parallel universes.
• Peter returned to Blonde Spider-Man's body and left part of his consciousness there to await Miles's signal while most of it went back to his own world to work on his nanobot suit.

Peter used Miles’s plans to find a route to Blonde Peter’s buried body, while Spider-Gwen arrived and learned that the original Peter might still be alive. Spider-Gwen recognized Venom Blade as an unknown-universe Spider-Man that Miguel had been unable to track down.

• Peter sensed a connection between the glowing web, The Spot, spacetime, and a danger that felt stronger on Earth-1610B.

• Spider-Gwen met Miles, and he told her that Venom Blade had found Blonde Peter’s intact body and was helping him dig it out.
• Spider-Gwen realized Venom Blade was the unknown-universe Spider-Man Miguel had been unable to track down.

Peter secretly listened as Spider-Gwen told Miles about the Spider-Man Alliance and its mission to prevent parallel-universe collapses. He learned that Gwen had come to find The Spot, but her hostility toward Venom Blade remained unexplained.

• Gwen revealed that the Alliance had sent her to find The Spot, whose unauthorized portals were disrupting parallel universes.
• Miles told Gwen he had fought The Spot and asked whether there was a misunderstanding between her and Venom Blade.

Peter revealed himself to Spider-Gwen as Venom Blade and restrained her to force a conversation, then eased her suspicion enough for her to explain why the Spider-Man Alliance could not find his universe. The chapter ended with Gwen beginning to describe Miguel’s search for Peter.

• Miles reminded Spider-Gwen that Venom Blade had helped defeat Kingpin and destroy the Super Particle Collider.
• Peter transformed into Venom Blade, identified himself to Gwen, and pinned her to a container when she reacted with suspicion.
• Peter joked about communication and teased Gwen until she relaxed enough to hear him out.
• Peter removed his webbing and asked Gwen why she had become hostile toward him.
• Gwen explained that Miguel could locate Spider-Men across parallel universes but had been unable to find Peter’s universe.

Spider-Gwen explained Miguel’s Web of Fate Theory and how it connected Spider-Men’s stories across universes. Peter questioned whether the theory explained Blonde Peter’s death and wondered why the worlds he had changed remained intact.

• Peter sent Miles away with a blueprint so Spider-Gwen could explain what she had withheld from him.
• Spider-Gwen said the Earth-42 spider was meant to bite that world’s Miles but instead gave this world’s Miles his powers and supposed protagonist status, which Peter rejected as an explanation for Blonde Peter’s death.
• Spider-Gwen explained that Miguel believed interdimensional beings could disrupt the Web of Fate connected to every Spider-Man and alter their stories.
• Spider-Gwen said she and Hobie suspected disruption could either create a dark world or cause a universe to disappear.
• Peter wondered why his visits and changes to many worlds had not caused those consequences.

Peter questioned Miguel's Web of Fate Theory and helped Spider-Gwen and Miles recover Blonde Peter's body, which Peter said was undergoing resurrection. He left Aunt May alone for now, planning to wait until Blonde Peter had fully revived before visiting her.

• Peter reasoned that the Spider-Men's own interventions changed the story, making him doubt Miguel's claims about dangerous anomalies.

• Spider-Gwen panicked over The Spot’s escape and blamed herself for the disaster.

Peter learned that The Spot was traveling between universes to find a Super Particle Collider, while the Spider-Man Alliance tracked his movements and warned that he was damaging the Web-Netting System. Spider-Gwen was given one hour to catch him, and Peter and Miles offered to help.

• Spider-Gwen explained that Kingpin's Super Particle Collider explosion had connected multiple universes and that the Spider-Man Alliance had been returning displaced creatures to their worlds.
• Peter sensed a space-time fluctuation and left as Jess Drew contacted Spider-Gwen about the villain she had been assigned to monitor.
• Lyla tracked The Spot across universes and warned that his portals were severely damaging the Web-Netting System.
• Lyla found The Spot in Universe 50101, and Jess Drew gave Spider-Gwen one hour to catch him before ending the call.
• Peter and Miles joined Spider-Gwen, and Peter offered to help her catch The Spot.

Peter agreed to help Spider-Gwen pursue The Spot, and Miles joined their temporary squad. They traveled through Miguel’s portal to the India-3 universe and began falling toward Mumbattan.

• Peter convinced Spider-Gwen that he could evade Miguel and help her, and Miles insisted on joining to catch The Spot.
• Peter agreed to bring Miles along, and Spider-Gwen opened a Parallel Universe portal with her watch.
• The three traveled through the portal passageway as Peter examined the Spacetime Quantum Energy and considered inviting other Spider-Men to his world.
• They emerged high above Mumbattan in the India-3 universe, and Peter checked the glowing spiderweb to confirm the new universe coordinate.
• As they fell toward the city, Peter gave Spider-Gwen and Miles webbing parachutes and used his suit’s gliding membrane.

Peter, Spider-Gwen, and Miles searched India-3 for The Spot, but his rapidly appearing portals made him impossible to catch. They decided to find the local Spider-Man and wait for The Spot at Okmax, then met Pavitra Prabhakar, who introduced himself before asking who Peter and Miles were.

• India-3 Spider-Man, Miles, and Spider-Gwen rushed into the building, but the lab’s shielding barrier blocked them from reaching The Spot.
• Peter’s blood-red blade arc cut a huge opening through the barrier as The Spot worked at the control console.

Peter subdued The Spot, shut down the Super Particle Collider, and prepared to destroy it before Hobie Brown arrived. Shaking Hobie’s hand revealed a new universe and fate traces through Peter’s glowing spiderweb, whose sudden evolution left him wondering what had changed.

• Peter knocked The Spot out, webbed him to a wall, and opened the barrier for Miles, Spider-Gwen, and India-3 Spider-Man.
• Peter stopped The Spot’s particle collision experiment and began activating the Super Particle Collider’s self-destruct program.
• Spider-Gwen contacted Miguel and returned with Hobie Brown, whom Miles recognized as the Hobie Gwen had mentioned.
• Peter shook hands with Hobie and discovered the glowing spiderweb had revealed Earth-138B and Hobie’s fate traces.
• Peter wondered whether the glowing spiderweb had absorbed energy from the spacetime tunnel as Hobie teased him about holding his hand.

Peter and the other Spider-Men fought The Spot, who escaped after his black-hole portals began threatening the Okmax building. The Spot then activated the Super Particle Collider, and the Spider-Men raced to brace the building as its Quantum Energy surged toward them.

• Peter warned The Spot that his power was changing him, but The Spot’s hatred of Spider-Man flared and he attacked.
• The Spot freed himself, repelled the Spider-Men’s attacks, and escaped through a black-hole portal that continued spreading through the building.

• The Spot activated the Super Particle Collider remotely, forcing Peter to send the five Spider-Men to brace the building’s weakest points with webbing.
• The Spider-Men raced outside as the collider exploded and a wave of Quantum Energy surged toward them.

Peter, Miles, Spider-Gwen, and two other Spider-Men worked together to stabilize a building threatened by Quantum Energy, but Peter discovered that Spider-Gwen and Punk Spider-Man had not done their part. Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099, arrived and met Peter, whose glowing web revealed Miguel's universe coordinate.

• The chapter explained that Miguel had been a genetics researcher at the Alchemy Corporation, which had forced him to take its addictive drug Rapture.

Peter absorbed Spider-Man 2099’s history, mutations, discovery of the Web, and efforts to protect the multiverse through the Spider-Man Alliance. Spider-Man 2099 then asked whether Peter’s ability to grasp information was a special spider power, leaving Peter wondering if the visions had been shown to him deliberately.

• Miguel O'Hara used an unfinished serum to escape Ecstasy’s control and gained powerful, monster-like spider mutations.
• Spider-Man 2099 discovered the Web, developed a Dimensional Travel Watch with Lyla, and began traveling between universes.

• Spider-Man 2099 learned that anomalies caused by the Super Particle Collider threatened the multiverse and founded the Spider-Man Alliance to correct them.
• Peter rapidly absorbed the information about Spider-Man 2099’s past, and Spider-Man 2099 asked whether that ability was Peter’s special spider power.

Peter and the other Spider-People rescued civilians after a section of Okmax Company collapsed, while Spider-Man 2099 confronted Peter over disrupting the Web of Fate Theory. Peter tested whether he could leave the universe and found that his abilities still worked normally.

• Spider-Man 2099 pointed out that a collapsing section of Okmax Company threatened traffic on an elevated bridge.
• India-3 Spider-Man caught falling vehicles and stopped a bus carrying Gayatri from plunging off the bridge.
