In season four of "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man Vs. The Sinister 6," Peter Parker finds himself in prime position - he's a successful hero after fighting alongside The Avengers, a S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy leader and has a great relationship with his Aunt May. However, when Spidey discovers that his greatest enemies - Doctor Octopus, Hydra and the all-new Sinister 6 - have teamed up to destroy him and S.H.I.E.L.D., he creates a special new team of Spiders, including Miles Morales, Agent Venom, Iron Spider and the mysterious new Scarlet Spider. Spider-Man and his new friends will need to wield all of their power to overcome their greatest challenge yet.
In the one-hour premiere episode of "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man Vs. The Sinister 6" titled "Hydra Attacks," Peter Parker learns Doctor Octopus has teamed up with Arnim Zola and Hydra to attack the Tri-Carrier, leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. caught off-guard and Spider-Man left to single-handedly stop the assault. He assembles a new team, including an apprehensive Scarlet Spider, in order to stop the villains from taking over New York.
In the third season of "Marvel's Avengers: Ultron Revolution," the Avengers reunite to face an unexpected return of Ultron and encounter new threats like Baron Zemo, the Masters of Evil, the Inhumans, and the futuristic Kang the Conqueror. It's only with the help of heroes like Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and Ms. Marvel that they have a chance of surviving an all-out Marvel super hero Civil War, and prove once again - they're a family and their combined strength is the key to remaining Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In the premiere episode, "Adapting to Change," the Avengers learn what it's like to work as a team again and battle A.I.M.'s latest weapon - a new and improved Super Adaptoid developed by the Scientist Supreme.
