Parker seems to have finally found the balance between his devotion to Mary Jane and his duties as a superhero. But suddenly, his suit turns black and gives him new powers; he, too, is transformed, showing the darkest and most vengeful side of his personality. Under the influence of the new suit, Peter becomes a selfish being who only cares about himself. He therefore has to face a dilemma: enjoy his new powers or remain a compassionate hero. Meanwhile, the threat of two fearsome enemies looms over him: Venom and Sandman.
