Meet Spidey and his Amazing Friends plot 

In Meet Spidey and his Amazing Friends, viewers will get to know three web-slinging superheroes ahead of the premiere of Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends in August! Viewers won't just meet Peter Parker's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but also Ghost-Spider (aka Spider-Gwen), and Miles Morales, too.

Across the series, the team discovers what it takes to become a truly amazing superhero. They’ve got to be good friends and work together as a team to help everyday people, and they'll also be joined by other Marvel superheroes as they put a stop to any evil plans from some classic Spidey supervillains.
