A mysterious Guru surfaces in New York City and places people under mind-control to rob banks and threatens to have 10 New Yorkers under his command commit. A film with the same name was made in 2012.Listening to Hammerhead’s side of the conversation, Peter Parker can tell that HH’s men have referred to spotting Doc Ock and “an old broad” inside the mansion.Spidey reflects to himself that the “old broad” might just be Aunt May, since she had awhile back unknowingly rented out Peter’s old room to the villain once when he was on the run and concealing his identity. In the middle of all this, HH gets a call from his men who followed Octavius to his Westchester, NY mansion. Gwen tells him off, and says that one of Peter “makes twelve of you.”Later, back at the new villain’s circular, rotating nightclub HQ, Hammerhead decides to play Doctor Octopus’ game of allying himself with Spider-Man against his rival gang leader. Next, Flash Thompson drives by and tries to pick up Gwen by tossing some insults at Peter Parker.(Peter’s Spider-Sense only warns him about enemies, that’s why it didn’t react to Aunt May behind him.)May, like much of the public, mistakenly believes Spider-Man to be the menace that J Jonah Jameson says he is, and she cries out for Octavius to come and help her against “that awful” Spider-Man.NOTE: At this time Spider-Man was erroneously wanted in regard to Captain John Stacy’s death, but in reality Doc Ock had caused that death. Unexpectedly, Aunt May smashes a vase against the back of Spidey’s head, leaving him on the floor, dazed and unable to stand up. Spider-Man, who had slipped a Spider-Tracer on Hammerhead earlier, defeats the men left to guard him and then follows HH and the rest of his underworld army.At that mansion, Spider-Man rushes in ahead of Hammerhead’s arriving troops, hoping to find Aunt May and escape with her. (His sinister plans for Aunt May will be revealed in future issues.)HH goes with most of his thugs and drives off in a caravan of cars toward the Westchester mansion.

During the fight, Hammerhead brags to Peter that he found something in Ock’s office which, if he bides his time, will let all of New York and maybe even all of the U.S. Gwen, Ned and Robbie Robertson take one of the Bugle’s radio cars and head out to that mansion.Back at the mansion in question, Spider-Man and Hammerhead meet up amid the confusion of the room-to-room firefight going on between his and Ock’s men. That agency told Ned that she was hired by an estate in Westchester and Ned now recognizes the name of the owner as a known front-man for Doctor Octopus. Doc and HH fight it out but Ock eludes him and goes to Aunt May.Meanwhile, at the Daily Bugle, reporter Ned Leeds tells the arriving Gwen Stacy about how he traced Peter’s Aunt May to an employment agency. She sneaks away from the recovering Spider-Man while HH and his thugs contend with the high-tech booby traps of the mansion and the scientifically advanced weaponry of Ock’s men.Spider-Man comes to and searches for Aunt May throughout the place, while fighting and defeating Octavius’ and Hammerhead’s men whenever he comes across them.

The sound of the arriving police sirens gives her a jump and and she fires blindly, missing the costumed Peter, who escapes and turns back into Peter Parker.Epilogue: As police scour the mansion, arresting or taking to the morgue all the fallen gangsters from both armies, Peter hangs out with Gwen, Robbie and Ned, pretending he was there to take pictures of this big battle in the Gang War for the Daily Bugle. He batters him unconscious only to see Aunt May holding a gun on him, threatening to fire. As Ock pretends to be “protecting” May from Spider-Man, their fight goes on and on.At length, when Otto refers to himself as protecting the woman he “loves”, Spider-Man is infuriated and his outrage fuels his attack on Doctor O. He reflects to himself on how powerful he can become with what he took from Octavius’ office. Only Peter, of course, understands the full irony of his beloved aunt working for his greatest enemy.The story ends with Hammerhead leaving the U.S. He doesn’t need her anymore, but she feels Otto Octavius DOES need her, so she wants to stay.Since this is a comic book, she gets away with it as Peter, Gwen, Robbie and Ned soak in the horror of the situation. No matter how hard Peter tries to talk her out of it, it’s no use, because she assures Peter that he is a man now and has Gwen in his life.
