after rescuing Cindy, who went on to adopt her own superheroic identity as Silk, Spider-Man was approached by a contingent of spider-people from all over the Multiverse that banded together to fight the Inheritors, a group of psychic vampires who had begun to hunt down the spider-totems of other realities. During a mission to gather more recruits in A.D. 2099, the Spider-Army stumbled upon another party of spider-people led by a version of Otto Octavius. Together, they neutralized the Inheritors and went their separate ways. Peter then stopped another nefarious plan, this time put forward by the Jackal. After the events of "Go Down Swinging," Peter's life was plagued with problems on both sides.
