Over the next five months, Harry is healed from his transformation at Ravencroft. His associate, Gustav Fiers (the "man in the shadows" from the first film), visits Harry and breaks Sytsevich out of prison. Equipped with a mechanical suit of armor, Sytsevich calls himself the Rhino and rampages through the streets. Peter, inspired by Gwen's graduation speech, returns to battle him as Spider-Man.
