While covering the launch of John Jameson
's one man mission to Counter-Earth
(another Earth in an alternate dimension), Spider-Man attempts to stop his two symbiote adversaries Venom
and Carnage
from boarding the shuttlecraft. Blamed for Jameson losing contact with our Earth, Spider-Man becomes a target of persecution by the media and the public. Believed to be dead after saving a person's life in a fire, Peter Parker uses the ruse to embark on a mission to retrieve John Jameson on Counter-Earth, using nanotechnology
borrowed from Reed Richards
to design a new suit that incorporates stealth technology
and sonic weaponry
. Making his way to the planet, Spider-Man learns that Jameson has fallen in with a band of freedom fighters opposed to the High Evolutionary
whose Beastials
, hybrids of animal and humanoid attributes, are the dominant species whilst humans are the second-class minority.
With Jameson reluctant to return until all of the Beastials are defeated, Spider-Man elects to remain on Counter-Earth, blending in as best as he can as Peter Parker, and fighting the High Evolutionary and his Knights of Wundagore alongside the rebels as Spider-Man. It is soon discovered that Venom and Carnage are also on Counter-Earth, and are following orders from a being known as the Synoptic. This series also shows the animated version of John Jameson's Man-Wolf
form, as well as superhero versions of mainstream villains the Green Goblin
and the Vulture
.
In the final issue, he meets an escapee from Haven, a Bestial version of Wolverine
. After fighting, the two team up and take down a Bestial Chameleon
. It is hinted that Wolverine is really Naoko Jones' missing husband (although the cartoon hints that The Goblin is really Naoko's husband), but nothing came out of the storylines as poor sales ended the comic's run.
At the beginning of the show Spider-Man (Peter) was chasing and trying to stop Venom and Carnage from getting into a rocket with John Jameson riding it. After failing to stop them, Venom and Carnage took John Jameson with them and went to the Counter Earth, another Earth on the opposite side of the sun. After this, Peter borrowed nanotechnology
from Reed Richards
to design a new suit that incorporates stealth technology
and sonic weaponry
. With the new suit, he went to Counter Earth to save John Jameson.
In Counter Earth, Peter lives at Dr. Naoko Yamada's house for rent. Making his way to the planet, Spider-Man learns that Jameson has fallen in with a band of freedom fighters opposed to the High Evolutionary
whose Beastials
, hybrids of animal and humanoid attributes, are the dominant species whilst humans are the second-class minority. He joined John and the Human Revolution to defeat the high Evolutionary and his old enemies, the Venom and Carnage.
In his new stealth suit, Spider-Man is slightly different. He has dark color scheme and a cape made of webbing. He also has a sonic weapon to defeat Venom and Carnage.
In this series, Peter was in love with Mary Jane like in other series. But due to him leaving the real Earth and going to Counter Earth, he was separated from her and they aren't seen together again.
In Counter Earth, Green Goblin's secret identity is Hector Jones, ex-husband of Dr. Naoko Yamada and father of Shane Yamada-Jones. This is revealed many times in the series as by the end of his first appearance, after saving Naoko and Shayne Yamada-Jones from one of Venom and Carnage's plans with the help of Spider-Man and after the Goblin lets Naoko and Shayne go, he whispers to himself about calling Naoko his love. It is revealed in the next episode, which the Goblin himself does not appear in, that Naoko has a jealous ex-husband who works for the rebellion against the High Evolutionary. Naoko's ex-husband, who is standing in the shadows by the end of the episode, reveals that he is jealous, suspecting that Naoko and Peter Parker, the man who pays the rent while living at Naoko's home, are having an affair. He punches a wall that bricks fall down thus confirming the Goblin, who has super strength is indeed Naoko's ex-husband.
