Peter and Aunt Mae go to a bank to work on getting a loan so she can keep the house. However, the bank worker says it's not so easy, because of various red tape requirements. He won't even give them the free toaster because of the fine print in the promotional deal. However, Octavius appears! He rips open the vault and starts grabbing up money! And when confronted by security, he attacks, causing quite the ruckus! Peter leaves, to Aunt Mae's concern and confusion, but of course he returns as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man confronts Octavius, but recognizes who he is. That and some minor loss of power complicates the situation, and Aunt Mae is taken hostage! Spider-Man pursues and things get harrowing, but Spider-Man saves Aunt Mae and forces Octavius into retreat. When the Daily Bugle reports on this, they eventually name Octavius "Doctor Octopus", with J. Jonah Jameson taking credit for someone else's suggestion.

Meanwhile, Peter's social life continues to spiral as Mary Jane has been dating and is not engaged to astronaut John Jameson, son of his boss, J. Jonah Jameson. Worse yet, Peter is made the photographer to their engagement party. Peter suffers an emotional breakdown over his inability to balance his life, resulting in him losing his powers completely. He abandons his Spider-Man identity, returns to his normal life, and attempts to reconcile with Mary Jane.

Requiring the isotope tritium to fuel his reactor, Octavius visits Harry to demand it. Harry agrees in exchange for Spider-Man's life. He tells Octavius to seek Peter, who Harry believes is friends with Spider-Man, but requests Octavius not harm him. The deal is made, and Octavius disappears into the night.

Peter meets with Mary Jane at a coffee shop and he again tries to talk to her about his feelings, but Dr. Octopus finds them first, and throws a car through the shop window! It is only thanks to the return of Peter's powers that he reacts in time to save himself and Mary Jane. However, Dr. Octopus still grabs Mary Jane, and gives the ultimatum to contact Spider-Man. Just as Jameson admits he was wrong about Spider-Man, Peter steals his costume back from the Bugle and goes after Octavius, in turn upsetting Jameson and making him take back his confession.

As Spider-Man battles Dr. Octopus, they fall onto a subway train. Dr. Octopus sabotages the controls and leaves Spider-man to save the passengers. Spider-Man uses web thread after web thread to attach himself and the train to the buildings along the track. The train is headed for a dead-end, but stops just inches from certain doom. However, this is a great physical toll on Spider-Man's body. When he faints from exhaustion, the grateful passengers save him from falling and bring him into the train, seeing his unmasked face. He wakes up and panics a moment, but everyone promises to keep his secret. Spider-Man puts on his mask but Dr. Octopus returns! The passengers bravely stand in his way, but they're not enough, and Dr. Octopus captures Spider-Man, whom Octavius delivers to Harry.

After giving Octavius the tritium, Harry prepares to kill Spider-Man, but first removes the mask. Harry is of course shocked to see it is Peter under the mask. Peter convinces Harry to direct him to Octavius' lair, using the fact the experiment will destroy all of New York like it did the lab. Harry gives him the information, and Peter leaves.

As Spider-Man, Peter arrives at the doctor's waterfront "laboratory" and attempts to rescue Mary Jane discreetly. Octavius discovers him and they fight once again as the nuclear reaction swells. Peter ultimately subdues Octavius, reveals his identity, and persuades Octavius to let his dream go for the greater good. Octavius finally commands the tentacles to obey him, and gives his life to destroy the experiment. However, because of the immense weight of the machine and the gravitational force made by the fusion star, Octavius cannot get away. Though he dies, he himself is comforted by the through that he will "not die a monster", but a hero.
