Spider-Man is in an underground Hydra bunker battling evil versions of the Avengers when the real Avengers show up to lend a hand. Iron Man and Spider-Man fly off to stop the launch of a missile full of biological agents that will destroy the most important natural water supply in the Midwest. They are too late and the missile takes off but Spider-Man hitches a ride. He is able to divert the warhead over the ocean but gets caught in the explosion.
