The Multiverse
Kingpin’s collider, which was created by Dr. Olivia Octavius (aka Doc Ock), was created to open up pathways to other dimensions, mainly so that Kingpin could reunite with his family, who saw him being violent and left him. It works, but it’s very dangerous—and when it was turned on, it connected to five alternate dimensions and brought a different Spider-person from every dimension to this one: Earth 1610.
Because the Spider-people don’t belong in this dimension, they have random violent reactions called “phasing,” and if they stay on Earth 1610 too long, their bodies will disintegrate and they will die. And so all the Spider-people must work together to not only use Kingpin’s collider to get back to their dimensions, but destroy it so they don’t further mess up the multiverse.
