She doesn’t know anyone.. which isn’t precisely true, as they just don’t know her. Everything is very odd. But that’s how comic books work.

• Peter is attacked by Kraven and Calypso in the Central Park Zoo. Being shot with a dart weakens his immune system, allowing a virus he picked up in the Savage Lands that modifies his DNA to take hold. While trying to get help from Dr. Conners, the neogenic recombinator malfunctions, resulting in his complete transformation into Man-Spider.

• With the help of his friends and SHIELD, Peter is transformed back from Man-Spider.
