"Spidey to the Power of Three": While Peter, Gwen and Miles wait for Aunt May to return with their favorite flavors of ice cream, they decide to step out and stop Rhino from stealing gold coins from banks. Miles and Gwen have disagreements over how to stop the villain (invisibility and gliding, respectively) and end up getting in each other's way. Peter reminds them that they are "Team Spidey" and therefore must work together. Using their individual talents, they trick Rhino into dropping his loot and web him up before returning the coins. Upon returning home, they decide to combine their favorite flavors, getting a tasty mix.

"Panther Patience": Peter and Aunt May are headed to the museum to see Black Panther and his vibranium and the folk art exhibit, respectively. As Peter watches Black Panther display the material, Doc Ock shows up and steals it for herself so that she can power up her tentacles. Peter suits up as he and Black Panther chase after the villainess. Throughout their adventure, Peter displays impatience at catching Doc Ock, but Black Panther teaches him patience. Using a squeaky toy version of the vibranium, that Peter got for his cat, they trick Doc Ock and successfully capture her, all the while Aunt May remained oblivious.

"Superhero Hiccups": Peter and Miles catch the Green Goblin looking through an old book in a library on how to acquire the Power Sword. Miles suddenly develops hiccups and the Green Goblin escapes. Unsure of what to do, they call Gwen and head to the museum. While Miles waits outside, Peter and Gwen go in and discover the sword, but the Goblin covers them in goo and gets the sword. Miles goes in and, inspired by the notion of finding a way around a problem, poses as a ghost and tricks Goblin into dropping the sword. He uses the weapon to trap the Goblin and frees Peter and Gwen with the Goblin now having the hiccups.

"Lost and Found": As Peter perfects his web bomb, he heads to the movie theater, only to run into Rhino. Before he can stop him, his backpack with Trace-E gets lifted onto a garbage truck and Peter finds himself trying to get his backpack back and stop Rhino who is running through the city and causing trouble for everyone. Eventually, Rhino grabs Peter's backpack first and flees. After calling Aunt May, Peter tries to take everything one step at a time and tricks Rhino into opening his backpack so that Trace-E can activate his web bomb and trap Rhino. Peter gets his backpack back and meets up with Aunt May at the movie theater.

"The Great Green Crime Spree": A crime spree is happening in the city and evidence is claiming that Hulk is to blame. Spidey and Ghost-Spider work to find clues to see if Hulk is the culprit of not. They both had to work to keep Hulk from getting angry and from getting caught by Detective Helen Stacy. What they soon discover is that Green Goblin is the culprit behind the crime spree where he has painted Rhino to look like Hulk in order to frame him. Now Spidey and Ghost-Spider must prove Hulk's innocence to Detective Stacy and apprehend Green Goblin and Rhino.
