Main Plot

After dealing with a couple of robbers, Doctor Doom meets up with Spider-Man to task him as his new champion to deal with magical enemies.

After leaving an awkward situation with Aunt May, Shay, and Randy Robertson, Spider-Man encounters a demon name Cyntros but is overwhelmed. Doctor Doom arrives and Spider-Man immediately accepts his offer, where Doctor Doom reveals the backstory of an evil God name Cyttorak. Spider-Man fights Cyttorak again, but is defeated by Spaghettification.
