, who mistakenly thinks he is one of Logan's children. While still imprisoned, Peter and Shakti experience another time event, altering some of the buildings in an explosion. At that precise moment, Miguel and classmate Kron Stone find themselves in the midst of that explosion, along with their experimented-upon insects (Miguel having the Spider, and Kron with the Scorpion). In the hospital where Miguel and Kron are taken, George is glad to find that Miguel is alright, while Tyler is saddened and distressed that his son has not survived. With George and Miguel leaving, Tyler falls into tears having removed the sheet covering Kron's body, revealing that his son has a half mutated body of a scorpion. Tyler arranges for his son to be transferred to Alchemax in a tube, where his appearance cannot be seen.

Peter, now fully recovered, breaks out of his cell and retrieves his mask and web-shooters then escapes with Shakti and goes into hiding while being hunted by law enforcement. Within a week, Miguel develops new spider powers, obtained in the blast. Deciding one night to try his newfound powers, he falls due to a lack of confidence and is caught by Spider-Man, who is with Shakti. Near them, an explosion issues from the Alchemax building. Spider-Man leaves to investigate and Miguel, in his own Spider-Man costume designed by Shakti, assists him. Inside the building, the team has their first encounter with the Scorpion (who they do not recognize as Kron) and manage to defeat him. With the Public Eye's arrival at the scene, both Spider-Men are forced to stop them, but Miguel's father is left as a witness. In the aftermath, Spider-Man insists that Miguel get rid of his costume and stop acting as Spider-Man, fearing that he might be killed. Spider-Man then takes off, realizing that Shakti is missing. Unable to heed Spider-Man's word, Miguel wears the costume again and enters an underground arena as a combatant facing off against the Human Torch. Although Miguel is defeated, the Human Torch is impressed with Miguel's skills and offers to teach him how to fight, but Miguel is unable to reply as the guards shock them unconscious.

In the meantime, Ghost Rider 2099 drops Logan in a former mutant-interment facility in a desert wasteland, formerly known as Maryland

While in imprisonment in the Arena Cell, both Miguel (Spider-Man) and Relur (the Human Torch) reveal to each other their identity. Relur is one of the few existing Atlantian Mutants who were able to escape; he attributes his success to his fire ability; Miguel reveals his name and his reason for being there. After their discussion the two break out and escape. Meanwhile, George tricks Lyla and puts her out of commission for a few hours. He then manages to hack his way into the Chronosphere and is surprised to see that it shows Jack Gallows, but is even more surprised that he is in the past. When George tries to contact Jack, Jack believes that it is Thor contacting him, which makes George even more puzzled and gives him cause to question what Tyler was doing. While still searching for Shakti, Spider-Man sees both Miguel and Relur pass by and confronts Miguel as to why he's still wearing his Spider-Man costume. In the Smithsonian, Doctor Doom reveals to both Logan and Kenshiro that they must find Shakti in New York before he dies, but not before another time event is experienced. With the time stream badly damaged, both past and future eras begin to clash, causing individuals to crossover and leaving both Shakti and the Hulks in 2009 New York.
