Synopsis for "Lifetime Achievement: Part One"

J. Jonah Jameson in his radio show, is making efforts to improve Spider-Man's reputation, at least as much as he has made efforts to destroy it, when an important communication arrives: Mayor Wilson Fisk has decided to award him a Lifetime Achievement Award ... as long as Spider-Man gives it to him. Jonah guarantees on live television that the hero will do it, but Peter has no intention of it and when he goes to tell him just before the ceremony Jonah gets angry. At that point the two are attacked by the The Enforcers. Having to protect Jonah, Spidey cannot fight to the best of his ability, so the two are captured and find themselves faced with a group of supervillains all somehow related to Jameson, while a voice declares that this is the story of J. Jonah. Jameson.
