Lance Bannon has been tipped off by a man named Snake about transport of stolen goods that has been interrupted by Spider-Man. In the middle of the fight, one of the crooks strikes the wall-crawler in the leg with a tire iron. As the masked hero reels in pain, the crook also manages to rip off the wall-crawlers mask. Lance manages to get a picture of Spider-Man's face just as the police arrive on the scene.

When Peter Parker arrives at the Daily Bugle the following morning, J. Jonah Jameson berates him for not being a better photographer, showing him the front page of the Bugle showing Spider-Man unmasked. That's when Joe Robertson informs them that the man who is allegedly Spider-Man has already hired a public relations firm and has a scheduled press conference for the next day. Jameson tells Parker to stay out of it as it is Lance Bannon's story. When Peter gets home, he tells his wife Mary Jane that Jameson assigned Peter to photograph a flower show instead. When Mary Jane wonders why someone would want to claim they are Spider-Man, Peter points out that they stand to appropriate millions of dollars.

The next day, Peter is at the flower show, while across town the man claiming to be Spider-Man shows up in a van detailed with a Spider-Man design. The man who claims to be Spider-Man comes out with his leg in a cast and walking with a crutch. He tells people his name is Phil and assures them that he is not a mutant. He explains that he is a regular man who invented technological means of pulling off his various feats. He also denies that he is a menace and uses his powers only for good. He then tells the conference that he intends to start a non-profit organization to use his inventions to help in law-enforcement while his leg heals from its injury. Among the gathered crowd is Mary Jane, who goes in to kiss the impostor on the cheek allowing her to place a spider-tracer on Phil.

The tracker malfunctions however, he has spotted the phony Spider-Man's van and figures it should be easy to follow. But the van transforms and easily slips by Peter. When Phil's story ends up on the front page of the Daily Bugle, Mary Jane tells Peter that this man sounds sincere. At Phil's secret hideout his benefactor turns out to be Mysterio, who reminds him that he has a speech to make the next day. The next day, Phil gives another press conference to announce his new charity. The real Spider-Man watches from a nearby building unable to believe that people would buy into Phil's lies. The only one who questions Phil's claims is J. Jonah Jameson. However, Phil promises to convince Spider-Man's biggest critic that he is genuine. To do this, Phil announces that he wants J. Jonah Jameson to be the board of directors to his new charity.

When Jameson gladly accepts the appointment, the real Spider-Man crashes the press conference. Believing that the real Spider-Man is the impostor the crowd turns on him, but he manages to leap out of their grasp. Up on a nearby rooftop, Spider-Man cannot believe that Phil is managing to trick everyone so easily. Meanwhile, Phil returns to his hideout and gloats some more over how easily he is tricking people into thinking he is really Spider-Man. However, Mysterio warns Phil not to underestimate the wall-crawler. While back at home, Mary Jane tries to comfort her husband but does little to improve his mood. Unfortunately, the only person with the inside track is Lance Bannon. That night, Lance is given another tip to a grocery store robbery. Although Lance wonders where his informant gets his tips, he quickly becomes more interested when Phil arrives in his Spider-Van to wrap up the criminals. As this scene plays out, the real Spider-Man has been trailing Lance all night long.

Later, Spider-Man decides to follow Lance's informant and watches as he is picked up in Phil's disguised Spider-Van. He then follows it back to the warehouse that acts as Mysterio's hideout where he catches both Phil and Lance's informant gloating over their continues deception. However, before the wall-crawler can wrap them up, he is ambushed by Mysterio who unleashes a massive animatronic Spider-Man figure to attack the wall-crawler as well as a massive spider. However, Spider-Man makes short work of these robots and takes down Mysterio with a single punch. When Phil and Snake try to make a run for it, Spider-Man webs up Snake. Phil foolishly tries to fight Spider-Man one-on-one, but is knocked out by a single flick of the finger. The next day, Mysterios deception ends up front page news. This revelation angers J. Jonah Jameson who blames Lance Bannon for making the Bugle look bad. Noticing that Peter Parker is smirking at him, Jonah a
