After tutoring Miles—both as a cover in his academics studies, and as the new Spider-Man—in the year between the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man’s DLCs and Miles’ own game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Peter leaves his young protege as New York’s one-and-only Spidey to join M.J. on her working trip to Symkaria. In that time, now living in Harlem with his mother Rio, Miles finds himself facing off against a tech-savvy criminal group known as the Underground, lead by a masked vigilante called the Tinkerer.

Attempting to push back against the Roxxon Corporation and its desire to harness a purportedly clean, yet highly unstable energy source called Nuform, Miles eventually discovers that the Tinkerer is none other than his former schoolmate and close friend Phin Mason. Seeking revenge on Roxxon after the company killed her brother, Phin used the Underground to wage war on the corporation and clashed with Miles multiple times, before eventually seeing that she was being played by Roxxon and its chief R&D officer, Simon Krieger.

When an Underground assault on an experimental Nuform reactor in Harlem threatens to level the borough and kill thousands, Miles and Phin team up so that Miles can use his bioelectric absorption powers to harness as much of the energy as he can, nearly killing himself in the process. Phin saves Miles at the cost of her own life, flying him up high into the skies above Harlem so he can safely disperse the Nuform energy without harming anyone else.
