Nothing Ever Changes!
This issue contains two separate stories. The first relates to Spider-Man 2099 as he attempts to stop a murderer obsessed with evolution. The story begins as a man is murdered in his hospital room. His parents walk in on the killer who reveals that his motive is that their son had a genetic defect that made him unworthy to live. The murderer spares the parents as they are now too old to reproduce and further spread the genetic defect, however he does threaten to kill any more children they may have had on his way out.
We then see Spider-Man stopping a mugging. Though he saves the victim, he is soon chased off of by the corrupt "Public Eye" (police force in the year 2099). Miguel (this incarnation of Spider-Man's alter ego) gets back to his workplace, Alchemax, and must quickly change for a lunch date.
During Spider-Man's date, the murderer's identity and backstory are revealed in a flashback sequence. We find that he himself passed on a genetic defect to his child which resulted in that's child death. Gerald Bernardson (the murderer) became obsessed with evolution, eventually leading to his divorce and a complete mental breakdown. He experiments on himself which eventually leads to him being able to adapt to any situation or attack instantaneously.
When Gerald attempts another murder, Spider-Man jumps in to save the day. They fight for a while, eventually leading to something of a draw. Gerald decides that his killing methods are not efficient enough and runs off. Spider-Man is unable to stop him from leaving.
