Spider-Man 2099 is set in the chronological future of the Marvel animated universe, and serves as a continuance of Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

Plot

The pilot episode begins in 2079 (set about 80 years after Spider-Man: The Animated Series). Peter Parker's daughter, Mayday Parker AKA Spider-Girl, despite being past her prime and in her mid 50s, continues to fight crime in a new high-tech Spidersuit.

In the rescue of a kidnapped heiress, Spider-Girl suffers a mild heart attack and, at risk of being beaten to death by one of the kidnappers, is forced to betray a lifelong principle by killing one of the kidnappers. Ultimately, Mayday reluctantly decides to retire from crime-fighting and vows "Never again" as she shuts down the Spidercave.

The story moves ahead 20 years later to 2099 in Nueva York City, a futuristic version of the New York City and a megalopolis featuring staggering high rises and flying vehicles, many years after what is known as the"Age of Heroes".  

Mayday is now an elderly woman in her 70s and a recluse living in bitter isolation with no other companion but her guard dog Peter. Miguel O'Hara is an athletic 16-year-old high school student and reformed troublemaker with a deeply ingrained sense of personal justice. He works in Alchemax owned by Tyler Stone (Oscorp has merged with Stone's company long ago) as part of their genetic program, intending to create a new corporate Spider-Man for the company to use. 

Living on difficult terms with his father George O'Hara, Miguel disobeys his curfew one night to meet up with his girlfriend Dana D'Angelo, only to incur the wrath of a group of the gang called the Green Goblins harassing them. A high-speed motorcycle chase between Miguel and the Green Goblins leads them to the home of Mayday, where they run into the elderly Mayday. Mayday and Miguel fend off the Green Goblins side-by-side, but the exertion aggravates Mayday's heart condition. Miguel helps Mayday back to her home and, while exploring the house after realizing that he is unable to leave the mansion as Peter is guarding it, stumbles upon the entrance to the Spidercave and thus discovers mayday's secrets, only to be chased out by an angered Mayday. 

Miguel is convinced by George to leave Alchemax but Stone tricks him into taking a drug Rapture. As only Alchemax is legally allowed distribute this drug, O'Hara has to remain with the corporation or Tyler will call the police to say he's getting the drug from the black market.  

To get out of the situation, Miguel sneaks into Alchemax and uses the gene alteration machine on himself, intending to use an older template of his pure genetic code that was entered into the machine's databanks during initial experiments to overwrite his current biology to free himself from the Rapture. Due to a misevaluation, Miguel's genetic code ends up being 50% spider, giving him spider abilities. 

Miguel returns home to discover that his father has been murdered, apparently by the vengeful Green Goblins. Soon after, though, he discovers that his father had stumbled onto information about the production of the illegal Goblin formula by Tyler Stone through Alchemax and that the man actually responsible for his father's murder is Stone's personal assistant/bodyguard, Aaron Delgado.

Miguel goes to Mayday for help but she refuses, feeling that she is too old and too weak to be of any use and doesn't believe Miguel's story of acquiring spider powers instead telling Miguel to take the evidence to Captain Jean DeWolff.

After the evidence of the illegal weapon production is forcibly taken from Miguel by Tyler Stone, Miguel subsequently steals the Spidersuit, intending to bring Stone to justice. Mayday initially opposes all of Miguel's efforts and vehemently demands that he return the suit, but Miguel asks Mayday to let him take on the Spider-Man mantle. Mayday allows Miguel to be Spider-Man, and as Spider-Man, Miguel subsequently defeats Delgado. During the battle, Tyler Stone ends up being exposed to the Goblin formula gas, creating a split personality.

Realizing that crime and corruption are running rampant in Neuva York without Spider-Man's presence, Mayday offers Miguel the chance to assume the role of Spider-Man, with Mayday herself mentoring Miguel. The new Spider-Man soon develops his own rogues gallery, with both new villains (Tyler Stone a.k.a. Green Goblin, Sandwoman, Mysterio, Shocker, Kraven the Hunter and the Black Cat Gang) as well as some of the original Spider-Man's old foes such as the Lizard, the Venom symbiote now bonded to Tyler's son Kron Stone, the Vulture and even the original Norman Osborn Green Goblin.

Miguel also makes allies in Neuva York, including computer genius Xina Kwan. After discovering Spider-Man's secret identity, Xina helps Miguel with everything from computer hacking to babysitting. Police Commissioner Jean DeWolff also works with Miguel. Though initially unhappy about another masked vigilante, she admits that the city needs Spider-Man. He also has a relationship with Morgan Hardy, who was forced to do the bidding of her family's new Black Cat Gang.
