Plot
Season 1
Gifted teenager Peter Parker is given superpowers when he is bitten by a radioactive spider during a school field trip to Oscorp Industries. After the death of his Uncle Ben by a burglar that he hesitated to stop at a wrestling arena, Peter comes to his own terms of being the superhero Spider-Man. Sometime later, Peter begins learning how to balance his crime-fighting career with his new enrollment at Horizon High, a school for students with genius-level intellect run by Max Modell. Joining Peter in his ordeals against Norman Osborn, Jackal, and numerous other villains are his classmates Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales (who develops powers similar to Peter's and becomes the Ultimate Spider-Man), and Anya Corazon, as well as his best friend Harry Osborn (who eventually becomes the superhero Hobgoblin).
Besides Norman and Jackal, other villains introduced this season include Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Venom, Rhino, Spencer and Alistair Smythe, Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, A.I.M., Curt Connors, Sandgirl, Scorpion, and Crossbones. Other characters introduced in this season include May Parker, Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, Randy Robertson, Robbie Robertson, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Sandman.
Season 2
Taking place a few months after the previous season, Otto Octavius possesses Spider-Man's body and becomes the Superior Spider-Man. Peter's consciousness transfers into Otto's tentacle harness and convinces him to reverse the swap.

Why this record matters
“Spider-Man (2017 TV series)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Spider-Man, series and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28207200. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2020.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
