The multiverse exists.īeck explains that what they're up against are beings made from the primal elements- air, water, fire, and earth. While Peter is on Earth-616, Beck is from Earth-833. He reveals himself to be from another world and Fury indicates that while Beck is from Earth, he's from another alternate version of Earth. When the pair reach their destination, a secret base hidden in a cavernous tunnel, Parker is introduced to Maria Hill and Quentin Beck, the man who his classmates had been calling 'Mysterio'. Fury also notes, in a late-night boat ride through the Venice canals, that Tony Stark left items to be handed off to Parker in the event of his death, the most notable of these being a pair of high-tech glasses. Between the events in Mexico, Morocco, and now Venice, there's clearly a pattern. While Ned is incapacitated by a tranquilizer, Fury lays out the issues at hand. Later that evening, Parker and his classmates, watching the Italian news, misunderstand that his name might be 'Mysterio', the Italian word for mystery.Īs the class prepares to visit Paris as the next stop on their itinerary, Peter and Ned head up to their room only to find Nick Fury waiting for them (having been unable to contact Parker). When the threat is abated, the hero leaves without a word. Peter, still keeping his abilities a secret, has no choice but to hide himself as a hero - none other than the same man who met Nick Fury and Maria Hill in Mexico, shows up to fight. As the two of them walk around however, something terrible happens- an elemental creature emerges from the canals and begins to destroy the city. While his classmates do some sightseeing, Peter buys a glass necklace from a local shop, planning to give it to MJ as part of his plan. Things only get weirder when Peter finds out that May packed his Spider-Man costume in his luggage.

Besides MJ being sat next to a rival for her affections (Brad), Ned and Betty, another classmate, find out that they have a lot in common. Peter's class flies from New York to Venice and the flight, while uneventful for Peter, leads to some interesting dynamics. May suggests he pack his suit, just in case, but he avoids it. Peter decides to ghost Nick Fury, sending him to voicemail while the crowd of news reporters outside ask him heavy questions about the future of The Avengers.īut there's more to worry about- Peter has to pack for his trip. He's not wrong the call comes almost immediately.

Working at a Salvation Army function with his Aunt May, he's met by Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's former bodyguard, who comes bearing a giant novelty cheque from Pepper Potts and the news that Peter is likely to be called by Nick Fury. In the meantime, Peter has been heading to charity galas as Spider-Man. They can be bachelors in Europe if he doesn't. His best friend, Ned, suggests not doing any of it. Peter, heading off to Europe with his classmates for summer vacation, plans to take the opportunity to spend time getting closer to MJ (and that plan is pretty elaborate, tracking several smaller opportunities to express himself before revealing his true feelings atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris). Now, it's the end of that year, and there's a lot to think about as the students move on to a new phase of their lives. All those returned from their vanishing had come back unaged despite the time change, and as such, Midtown Tech decided to restart the school year. If Thanos' actions were known as 'The Snap', the return of half the universe, five years later, was known as 'The Blip'.

As the world recovers from the events of Thanos' apocalypse, they mourn the fallen heroes of the Avengers and pick up the pieces left behind. The students of Midtown Technical High School, however, are none the wiser. They have no reason to believe that their call to action is any sort of sign of something worse on the horizon, but their arrival is quickly interrupted by the appearance of a hero and a villain, the latter being an earthen creature that rises from the ground to destroy their vehicle. In the ruins of Ixtenco, Mexico, Nick Fury and Maria Hill arrive to find the community rebuilding after a recent mysterious cyclone that many believe to have seen the appearance of a face upon.
