Kotep, the Scarlet Sorcerer -- an ancient magician
frozen in time by a rival sorcerer -- is brought back to life in the
present day by a deranged college professor who has just been fired. Kotep
scoffs at the professor's commands that he take revenge on the man's
enemies, and responds by summoning a green-skinned demon to attack him. A group of students happen upon the professor as he's being struck down. Peter Parker is among them and, feigning cowardice, ducks behind a pillar where he strips to his Spider-Man costume. Now in his true colors, Spidey
battles the cackling Sorcerer, but Kotep manages to escape. Later, the
hospitalized professor tells the secret of Kotep's power to some of his
students who promptly try to warn Spider-Man. However, Kotep
has other ideas. Bent on conquering the world, the resurrected magician
unleashes chaos around the city, summoning an army of demons who promise
to follow him if he defeats Spider-Man. Faced with powerful
thousands-of-years-old magic, Spider-Man must find a way to stop one of
the most powerful villains he's ever encountered. He finally defeats the
Sorcerer by taking away his scepter and destroying it.
