William Watts wakes up from a coma where he has been dreaming of a world peopled by costumed superheroes only to find the everyday world of his life to be a little mundane. He has a first session with Peter Parker, a worker for Stark Industries, whose arm has been horribly disfigured by a spider bite. He is asked to assist in a court case where blind attorney Matt Murdock is defending Frank Castle against charges of murder, but when Watts finds that the Kingpin is involved, he refuses to be an expert witness. Watts is accosted by a killer sporting bionic claws attached to his wrists.
