Synopsis: Spider-Girl's seen beating up on hired thugs sent to kill Canis; who they were hired by not even the thugs know. During the skirmish her Spider-Sense goes off, but when she turns to face whoever sets it off, nobody's there. Nevertheless, Spider-Girl escorts Canis home, where she meets his wolf pack, as well as a litter of wolf cubs that Spider-Girl gushes over. But suddenly her Spider-Sense warns her; quickly grabbing Canis she rescues him from a bomb planted in his own home! While she and Canis are save, Canis' entire wolf pack is dead, and Canis suspects the Kingpin. Meanwhile Darkdevil visits Wilson Fisk himself in prison, warning him of a South American gangster who has designs on his territory. The Kingpin shrugs off the warning, calling the prison he's in the safest place to be. And then the bomb planted within the prison goes off.
May finds out that Kingpin's in critical condition from the blast, and Darkdevil is missing; Peter doesn't think that even the dark-souled anti-hero would resort to cold-blooded murder, and neither does May, who wonders if Darkdevil survived. The next day, Midtown High School welcomes back the recovered Courtney, and May laments over being stuck in-between J.J. and Brad Miller, while still being hung up on Normie, and on top of that, is still concerned for Sandra Heally. As May, Nancy, and Davida all head into class, May's Spider-Sense suddenly goes off, she reacts, but no one is there. Getting a call from Phil, she finds out that three other major crimelords were also hit, and didn't survive. As she heads to the Web Site, her Spider-Sense goes off. Quickly she dons her Spider-Girl attire and swings there, only to find Normie. Confused, she goes back to school, only to find Davida ticked off about Nancy stealing her spot on the basketball team. May tries to play peacekeeper in-between them, but fails as the two storm off. Back as Spider-Girl, she follows up on Canis on cell phone, whose location is unknown. He reminds her that the two are stil adversaries, but Spider-Girl insists that helping her would save his life. Leaving him to mull it over, she returns to the Web Site and Normie to figure out who's bumping off crimelords, and it all leads back to the mysterious gangster from South America.
Suddenly, the Web Site explodes! Spider-Girl and Normie both escape without serious injury, thanks to Spider-Girl's Spider-Sense and reflexes, but is left knowing that someone knows Spider-Girl's identity, and Spider-Girl herself winds up fearing for her family, and her newborn brother's life!

Synopsis: As the fire department rushes to put out the fire caused by the bomb that decimated the Web Site, Spider-Girl heads off home at Normie's bequest. As she rushes home her Spider-Sense once again tingles, and she reacts, but no one is there, which leads her to suspect that only one could do this... then she freaks as her cell phone goes off. Chastising herself for overreacting, she answers it, finding Davida on the other line. Davida complains that she's still upset over Nancy's supposed duplicity. Spider-Girl can't worry about it, as she suspects two people who could possibly be stalking her; Darkdevil (who's still missing), and Mr. Nobody.
Returning home, May finds her father going for a late-night snack after dealing with little Benjamin. May confides to Peter about the Web Site, and he reacts predictably. May gets him to focus on getting a line on Mr. Nobody, last seen in Ryker's Prison. Peter does so, and the two discover he's in solitary confinement, making Darkdevil the chief suspect. But May doesn't buy it, saying that she knows what he feels like; Peter discovers just how sensitive May's Spider-Sense is compared to his, and is a bit impressed by it.
The next day at school, and May is feeling paranoid, looking over her shoulder at every turn. Finding Davida, she tries to talk to her, but Davida shuts her down, saying that something's changed in the past year and May's grown distant, and suddenly May's Spider-Sense goes off. Distracted once more, Davida notices and gives up, storming off, saying that it's obvious that there's something that May can't... or won't... share with her.
Meanwhile Normie tries to get into Ryker's Prison to visit Brenda, but is turned away for the fourth time. Fustrated, Normie tries to call her lawyet, but Reilly Tyne seems to have vanished. As Normie leaves two shadowy figures watch on, plotting something unknown. Back at school May's confronted by Nancy, who tells May that she didn't know Coach Thompson would move Davida over to make room for her, and doesn't want Davida to hate her. May's Spider-Sense hits again, directing her to Davida, who spots May and Nancy talking. David leaves in a huff and May's left to follow the Spider-Sense, finding Canis! Spider-Girl tells Canis that Darkdevil may be mixed up in the crime lord murders. All Canis knows... or wants to tell... is what Spider-Girl aleady knows, about a South American gangster with designs on the Kingpin's empire. Fed up, Spider-Girl decides to press for more information, by dangling Canis off the roof of a building! Finding out that the mysterious gangster's a heavyweight who's been trying to knock off the Kingpin for years, Spider-Girl is left to wonder why she's being targeted. Directed to a man who handles drug business for the Kingpin, she arrives just in time for his hideout to explode! Obligated to save all lives Spider-Girl rushes in to try to save him, and discovers a group of villians involved... Quickwire, Big Man, and of all people, Raptor! Spider-Girl manages to save the drug racketeer, but gets defeated by them. A shadowy figure directs traffic, telling them to secure the criminal and leave her to recover.
Meanwhile, Normie is confronted by supposedly the same shadowy figure, and is promptly gunned down!

As Normie is in surgery, he's confronted in-between life and death by grandfather Norma Osborn, who condemns Normie for betraying the memory of the Green Goblin by falling in love with May instead of killing her.
As they wait, May decides to head home to check up on Benjamin, but MJ knows that May is going to try to find the one who shot Normie. She confesses that she hates the fact that she's Spider-Girl to begin with, but at the same time, is proud of her because she can make a real difference in the world. May leaves with MJ's blessing, when suddenly her Spider-Sense goes off. and she follows it to find Kaine!
Back at Ryker's Prison the Kingpin is also in emergency surgery, and he confronts his own personal demons, where his own deceased son shows him that his path from poverty to greatness through crime has sent him to a path to purgatory.

Suddenly the two are attacked by Mr. Nobody, no longer in prison as he was supposed to be! Mr. Nobody says he's here to help Spider-Girl, but Kaine tells her to not believe him, saying that he's probably the one who shot Normie. Mr. Nobody denies it and attacks Kaine, accusing him of working with the South American gangster. He reveals that he was recruited to be a part of a work-release program that employ former super-villians like Quickwire and Raptor, but they went rogue and began to kill crime bosses.

In-between life and death, Normie's father Harry and his mother Liz shows up to help his son, while the Kingpin is shown the error of his ways by his son and wife. She offers a chance for redemption, asking him if he's capable of renouncing the life he once lived.

Synopsis: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, is dead.
Normie Osborn survives, and May is at his bedside at every spare moment, and her heart is broken as he weakly asks for Brenda, a.k.a. Raptor, in his sleep. MJ shows up to check on her as May heads to school as Spider-Girl, making a quick stop to check on Canis. Canis reveals that the South American gangster is known as the Black Tarantula. Canis says that it's possible, but doubtful, that Mr. Nobody is working for Black Tarantula, but says that Kaine's a mercenary who specializes in the kind of wet work that sends a loud message, leaving Spider-Girl to wonder if she was wrong about Kaine like she was about Brenda. As she leaves, she runs into Nobody himself, who tips off Spider-Girl about Kaine and his gang being at a location in the afternoon, saying that she can catch them all in the act.
Heading to school May is left wondering who to trust and who not to trust in this whole mess. Courtney then shows up to tell May that Davida and Nancy are arguing in the gym. Davida lashes out at Nancy by throwing a basketball at Nancy, and Nancy reacts instinctively, using her mutant powers to deflect it back at Davida! The secret is out that Nancy's a mutant, and Davida is none too happy about it. Meanwhile, Peter and MJ plan a birthday party for May.
Back at school, news flies fast about Nancy being a mutant. The school is divided on the matter, and Davida complains that Nancy was cheating with her powers on the playing field. May says there's no proof on that and David accuses May of defending her. May retorts by saying that everyone's entitled to having secrets, and Davida comes back by asking if May is a closet mutant. May retaliates by saying that if she was, it'd be nice to know it would change the way she thought about her, then storms away. As May leaves Davida gets a call from MJ about planning the surprise party, and David reluctantly agrees to help.
May dons her Spider-Girl costume to head to the location Mr. Nobody gave her, and sure enough, she finds Big Man, Quickwire, and Kaine all together. Raptor suddenly shows up, and she and Spider-Girl tussle as Spider-Girl accuses Raptor of betraying Normie and herself. Raptor accuses Spider-Girl in turn, saying that she sees in black in white and she's not always right, hating Spider-Girl for thinking she would want to hurt Normie. Kaine breaks up the fight finally, and Spider-Girl asks Raptor how she really feels about Normie; Raptor answers that she's in love with him, sending Spider-Girl's emotions downward. It's when an FBI agent named Arthur Weadon shows up, confirming that Kaine and others are working for him. The drug trafficker that Spider-Girl saved and they captured was offered immunuity in exchange for his cooperation in the capture of Black Tarantula. Spider-Girl is left more confused than ever, wondering who killed the Kingpin if they're the good guys, and what happened to Darkdevil.
Meanwhile... Darkdevil is being tortured by means of electrocution by the real rogue... MR. NOBODY!

Synopsis: Agent Arthur Weadon debriefs Spider-Girl, Raptor, Big Man, Kaine, and Quickwire about the war on crime; the theory is that Mr. Nobody murdered the Kingpin and half a dozen other underworld leaders by the order of Fabian LeMuerto, a.k.a. the Black Tarantula; the inheritor of of not only his father's name, but his empire. But Spider-Girl doesn't understand why Black Tarantula would hire Mr. Nobody. Weadon is reluctant to answer Spider-Girl's questions, but after re-assurance from Kaine, he confirms that Mr. Nobody contacted the Tarantula after turning rogue from this apparent future version of the Thunderbolts. Spider-Girl is sure Nobody shot Normie and is responsible for Darkdevil's disappearance, but Weadon dismisses them as collateral damage. Spider-Girl gives up trying to convince the FBI agent after twenty pointless minutes and gets set to leave, but not before letting Raptor know Normie will make a full recovery, and reluctantly telling her that she thinks he's in love with Raptor.
Spider-Girl returns home, telling her father of the situation. Peter remembers something can help her, and introduces his daughter to one of his inventions, the Spider-Tracer. After discovering May's Spider-Sense frequency is different from his own Spider-Sense, he also gives her a Spider-Tracer monitor also from his old days as Spider-Man. May knows that Mr. Nobody would probably show up at the Kingpin's funeral, and thinks of a way to attend it. Meanwhile MJ plans May's sixteenth surprise birthday party the next day, and jokingly proclaims that she and Peter are lucky she never became a super-villain, complete with pseudo-maniacal laughter.
Back at school May finds out that Sandra, may be indeed be abused by someone, and that someone could very well be Howard Kavanagh. Afterwards May ducks into the drama department, looking for props to wear for Fisk's funeral, and she runs into Howard, who confronts May about Sandra, demanding that she stay away from her. Howard tries to hit May but she easily catches it, and uses just a fraction of her Spider-Strength to apparently break his hand. As Howard retreats, May wonders if her dad would be proud of how she acted, or filled with shame.
May attends the Kingpin's funeral in her disguise, and her Spider-Sense easily picks up Fabian LeMuerto himself... then suddenly Mr. Nobody shows up to crash the funeral, out to put out a hit, but to who? May's not waiting to find out, and quickly goes on the offensive; placing the Spider-Tracer on Nobody before he teleports out, and May quickly makes her escape before the FBI shows up, knowing Nobody plans on killing someone important.
Darkdevil is still being tortured as Nobody returns, remarking that Spider-Girl ruined a perfectly good hit and he was still in a murderous mood. He aims his guns at Darkdevil's head and is about to finish him off, but Spider-Girl makes the save, fighting Mr. Nobody and eventually defeating him. Rescuing Darkdevil, the weakened vigilante confides to her that he knew she'd be the one to come for him, and that he never lost hope in her. As he rests, Spider-Girl isn't convinced that Black Tarantula is behind everything, but she vows to expose the real mastermind and make him pay for everything.

Synopsis: Mr. Nobody is captured, but he's exercising his right to remain silent. He also stays true to his name, as Agent Weadon tells Spider-Girl that Nobody must have his plastic surgeon on speed dial as he changes his face quite often, and his fingerprints also turn up nothing. But the cell phone he has will be all the proof he needs to tie him to the Black Tarantula. After being excused, she's thanked by Raptor, but Spider-Girl doesn't know how to react to her thanks, considering that she's in love with her boyfriend Normie. Back at school May gets a modest birthday cupcake from her friends, unaware that they're all planning a big party with her mother to celebrate her 16th birthday. But her birthday seems to be the furthest from May's mind as she thinks about the Black Tarantula. She then runs into Sandra, who confronts her about attacking Howard for no reason. May says she was defending herself (which she was), but Sandra brushes it off as a lie, calling May a "real monster!" A little while later JJ asks May if she's spoken to Nancy since the incident with Davida. When May asks what's going on, JJ tells her that rumors say Nancy may be suspended or even expelled for using her powers against Davida. Concerned, May goes to Coach Thompson about it. He lets May know that the school is going to punish Nancy hard for attacking Davida. May tells Thompson what really happened; David started it by throwing the basketball at Nancy and she was only defending herself. But Thompson says that the bottom line is that Davida's parents may sue the school for it, even suspending the coach himself and making his team forfeit the season, saying that he should have realized that one of his players had super-powers and an unfair advantage over the other kids. Realizing that indirectly he was also talking about her, May does the hardest thing she ever has to do, and quits the basketball team.
Spider-Girl, with so much on her mind, does some web-slinging to clear it, when it dawns on her; cell phones have been seen numerous times in this case, and all the pieces fall into place for for her. So she reaches for her own cell phone and calls Canis. Once they meet, Spider-Girl puts the blame of all the crime lords and the Kingpin's deaths on him. Canis says there were two attempts on his life, but Spider-Girl says he arranged it; why would a professional assassin like Mr. Nobody hire other gunmen to kill him when he used firebombs on everyone else? He pretended to help by sending her after one of the Kingpin's flunkies, but Mr. Nobody happened to beat her to him. Spider-Girl says that Canis hired Nobody to kill off the competition so that he would become the new Kingpin of Crime. Canis says it's a interesting theory but she doesn't have any proof. Spider-Girl retorts by saying the authorities have Nobody's cell phone, but Canis debunks that claim by saying that if he were the mastermind she said he was he would have arranged for him to get a new one on a daily basis so it wouldn't be traced to him. With all the bases covered, Canis taunts Spider-Girl, asking if she would beat a confession out of him, and saying she wouldn't, because she doesn't believe in violence. Frustrated, Spider-Girl web-slings away, Canis' laughter following her. As Spider-Girl leaves she calls Weadon, and finds out Kaine and the others have been beaten badly by the Black Tarantula himself. She then gets hit by her Spider-Sense, but realizes that she's not in danger, CANIS is. A part of her doesn't want to get involved, but the problem is, she really doesn't believe in violence. Black Tarantula decimates Canis and is about to kill him when Spider-Girl intervenes and fights him off. Black Tarantula, however, is an extremely powerful foe, but Spider-Girl's will is strong, fighting back as she proclaims "No one dies on my watch!" Spider-Girl manages to convince Black Tarantula to let Canis live, forcing him to confess and send him to jail. But Canis says he still won, saying that if Fisk could rule his empire from prison, so could he.
The crisis over, May goes to check on Normie, only to find him and Raptor together. Choosing to not get in the way, she leaves for home. Along the way she runs into Sandra, finding her in front of St. Andrews, a shelter for abused women. Sandra apologizes to May for the way she has been acting, and says she was right about Howard. May sticks with Sandra through it, missing the birthday party for her sixteenth birthday, going on at that very moment.

Synopsis: May's missed her birthday party, but it wasn't her fault as she was taking care of business as Spider-Girl. Peter isn't too thrilled that she was negotiating with the Black Tarantula, but May defends her decision, saying that he helped her capture Canis, but it worries Peter; why did he help her and what does he hope to gain? MJ wants to get her something special for her sixteenth birthday anyhow, and May says she'll give it some thought. When she gets to school, she and her friends find that Nancy's locker has been vandalized with anti-mutant paraphanalia. Brad says it was only a matter of time, and seems to defend what's happened, putting the blame on Nancy and surprising everyone. JJ gets in Brad's face about it, but May pulls them off. Brad thanks May for standing up for him, but May says that wasn't what happened, asking him where he stands on the situation with Nancy. Brad invites May to the coffee shop after school so he can explain himself, but May says she'll get back to him on that, hurrying to class, deep down not believing that Brad would use a hate crime as an excuse to ask her out. Meagyn Brady shows up and talks to May about overhearing some guys from the football team planning to give Nancy a hard time later that night. Sandra shows up a little bit later and thanks May for helping her start on the road to recovery. May notices Howard nearby, who runs off when May sees him. May reflects on when Howard attacked her, when she used her powers instinctively and almost broke his hand. Just like Nancy. She runs into Davida who seems like she tries to apologize, but May, a bit upset over all of this, retorts by yelling at her about how none of this would have happened if Davida hadn't gone after her.
May reflects on what happened, realizing Davida was trying to say she was sorry, and in turn feels sorry herself over her outburst. Dressing up as Spider-Girl she heads to the hospital where Normie's staying only to run into Raptor. Put off by her appearance she quickly leaves, only to run into the Buzz, who's attacking the members of the football team who're taunting and seemingly about to attack Nancy. She stops Buzz from seriously hurting them, but then gets a shock when she finds that one of the people harassing Nancy is Brad! Nancy tells Brad she should be ashamed of himself, and asks him what if May found out. Brad brushes it off as he leaves, saying smugly whose version of the story would she believe, hers or his, not even knowing May (as Spider-Girl) is right there to hear him. Then th X-People show up, lead by Jubilee, here to discuss the benefits of transferring to their school. Despite Buzz and Spider-Girl trying to convince her otherwise, Nancy willing goes with the X-People, saying it's the best decision she can make for herself and her family.
May shows up at Howard's doorstep later that night and apologizes to him for attacking him the other day. Howard defends himself, saying he really does love her and that he's not a bad guy. But May says his own actions proves he needs serious help before it's too late. On her way home she realizes Nancy found the courage to change her life and it was time she'd do the same. So she begins by calling MJ and saying she knows what she wants for her birthday. The next day, Peter finds that MJ and May were over at a beauty salon, and MJ introduces him to the new May; Peter gets a bit of deja vu as he sees May, with a new hairdo of auburn hair, and May asking him if he hit the jackpot.

Synopsis: We begin with Spider-Girl saving a teen from getting hit by a semi-truck, but after the teen tries to hit on her, she leaves quickly in a bit of a huff. After hearing gunshots, she rushes to the scene to find the Buzz taking out local thugs with rather excessive force. Spider-Girl stops him from going too far, and finds out from him that Dr. Sonja Jade, a scientist working for Dr. Octopus, might be back in town. Spider-Girl offers to help, but Buzz declines, saying it's personal. Spider-Girl can't help but wonder if he's still talking about Jade or his failure with Nancy Lu.
At school, May's confronted by Coach Thompson, who lets her know things are finally cooling off with the district basketball league and the coach letting a mutant play against normal kids. Thompson wants to put his basketball program back together and move on, and asks that May reconsiders her decision to quit the team, but May's decision is final, and she can't rejoin the team. An altercation soon breaks out between JJ and Brad, Courtney and May quickly break it up, and JJ and May both end up late for class. May sees JJ's hot temper, and is getting a little scared of it. She asks him to keep it under control, and as she hugs him, plants a spider tracer on him.
As Spider-Girl, she tracks down JJ, who enters a van... and buzz exits it. Interesting, she muses to herself, as she goes to follow the Buzz. Elsewhere, Thompson and May's father, Peter, get together for a night on the town. Thompson asks Peter if he could help him convince May to change her mind; Thompson could lose his job over this, and May's his top scorer. He needs to prove he can still field a winning team.
Jade's men infiltrate a warehouse to steal a device that Jade wants, but the Buzz stops them. Spider-Girl shows up to stop him from going too far, but Buzz gets hit by a electromagnetic pulse from the copter Jade's men departed from. It's up to Spider-Girl to rescue Buzz, and with an unbelievable show of strength and power that nearly taxes her limits, she saves him. Buzz is less than grateful, though, and flies away, telling Spider-Girl to mind her own business.
While all that is going on, Davida confronts Brad about the fight he had with JJ, but Brad ends up thanking Davida for exposing Nancy as a mutant, and making Davida feel lower than ever about it all.
