20 years ago, the villainous Reed Richards from Earth-1610 prevented a radioactive spider from biting a 15-year-old Peter Parker. One year ago, Tony Stark of the Ultimates sent the spider and a picotech suit to Peter with instructions to embrace his delayed destiny — by becoming the hero he was meant to be before the Maker’s return in two year’s time. And for the past 12 months, Spider-Man’s rogues’ gallery has grown to include Kingpin Wilson Fisk, the assassin Bullseye, the Shocker, and the Sinister Six: Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Mister Negative, Mole Man, and the Black Cat.
