Synopsis
At the school's cafeteria, Peter introduces his classmates until he reaches his table, where Sam is showing off his mashed potato sculpture of Phil Coulson's head to Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn. Frustrated, Peter brings Sam to the hallways and the two argue. They are interrupted by Coulson and are sent to detention.
Peter is worried about his aunt finding out he is in detention. Peter notices that the four other trainees are in detention and realizes it is a trick to get the team together in one room. The team are transported, while changing into their respective hero costumes, to the Helicarrier, where they get in contact with Nick Fury, who orders them to train. Several robots appear in the room, and Spider-Man and Nova have a match of whoever destroys ten machines the fastest. As the match concludes in a draw, Fury reprimands them for ignoring the mission, which was to get past the room without destroying anything, and makes them clean up the mess.
After they finish, Spider-Man tells them his list of villains he defeated since he became a vigilante, which gives White Tiger the idea to capture one of the criminals on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most wanted list. Nova decides that they should go after number one, which is Doctor Doom. Nova goes to the Quinjet while the others chase after him. The team gathers in the jet and try to convince Nova of not going, as the jet suddenly activates.
They arrive in Latveria, where they are targeted with missiles. When Nova destroys them all, they are ambushed by Doombots. After the four heroes take down all of them, Doctor Doom appears, defeating all of them easily, except Spider-Man, who manages to dodge his laser blasts. Nova and Spider-Man attack Doctor Doom, taking him down easily, which startles the other three. Spider-Man and the team takes a webbed Doctor Doom back to the Helicarrier. Upon their arrival, Doctor Doom is revealed to be a Doombot, which holds five mini-robots.
While the trainees are fighting the Doombots, Mary Jane calls Spider-Man, but he has to cut her off. One Doombot damages one of the engines, causing the Helicarrier to lose stability. The main Doombot attacks the nuclear reactor of the Helicarrier. Spider-Man convinces Nova to use his powers to lift the Helicarrier, while the other three takes care of the Doombots. Finally, when they arrive to the reactor, they work together and destroy the main Doombot.
While Fury scolds them, they all accept the responsibility as a team, Fury leaves them in the room, a smile upon his face. When they are celebrating, the real Doctor Doom appears on a screen, informing them he had just studied them, for the next time they dare to face him, much to their horror. An irritated Nova decides to after Doctor Doom again, prompting the team to try to hold Nova back.
