When visiting a museum during a school field trip, Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically engineered spider.

His quest for justice eventually brings him to use his super strength and abilities to fight criminals. Ultimately, he engages in combat with the Green Goblin, a villain portrayed by Willem DaFoe.
