Super-hero school is in session!

The world's No. 1 peacekeeping organization, S.H.I.E.L.D., is fed up with Spider-Man - specifically, the millions of dollars spent cleaning up his collateral damage. But instead of throwing the teenaged web-slinger in jail, they've settled on a far worse punishment: after-school super-hero training, courtesy of the Ultimates! While Spider-Man takes notes from his first tutor - his idol, Iron Man - Mysterio and the Black Cat vie for possession of a mysterious artifact from the archives of the former Kingpin of Crime.
