He reveals that the final battle with Kingpin in the first film opened tears across the multiverse, letting villains flow throughout the universes. However, this has also allowed other Spiders to travel, such as the pregnant Jessica Drew, the Spider-Woman of Earth-404. The two heroes help Gwen take out the Vulture, but she is then faced with a new problem as he father holds her at gunpoint, accusing her of killing that universes Peter Parker. Gwen ultimately has to unmask and plead with her father but is forced to flee the scene with a multiverse jumper.
