FLASHBACK:
Milennia ago, demon hordes roamed freely on Earth, some were good and some were bad.

Flash Thompson makes fun of Pavitr because his uncle died, so Flash gets suspended and Pavitr gets recruited onto the cricket team. Later, Pavitr fights crime as Spider-Man and chats with his aunt. Nalin Oberoi learns he’s been empowered by ancient beings and his nemesis is Pavitr. Pavitr makes his team lose the big cricket game; even though he has powers, he doesn’t know how to play.
