Peter's geeky high school friend, Max Dillon, is trying to fit into college life by joining a fraternity and becoming one of the in crowd. Unfortunately, the fraternity is only allowing Max to participate in their "rush process" as a big joke. When Max is hazed at a party, the prank takes a turn for the worse and ultimately leads to the creation of Electro, a high voltage villain that threatens the campus. Electro has a score to settle with his previous tormentors and he's relentless. Only Spider-Man can stop him from destroying innocent and not so innocent students.
