Spider-Man has been brought to the Microverse by the Psycho-Man to be part of the maniac's zoo. However, before imprisoning the hero, he hopes to drain the Uni-Power from Spider-Man the last person to have been endowed with the power of Captain Universe. However, despite the painful extraction process, he finds no trace of the Uni-Power in the hero. Since Spider-Man no longer has this power, the Psycho-Man decides he is of no use to him and renders the hero unconscious. Psycho-Man begins to rant about how he was exiled from his homeworld of Sub-Atomica thanks to the Fantastic Four. However, he hopes to regain his kingdom by obtaining the Uni-Power. He then has his machines contain the wall-crawler in one of his cages along with the other prisoners. With the wall-crawler locked up, Psycho-Man goes to a hovering globe which contains the secret that will allow him to contain ultimate power. Spider-Man is later revived by one of the other prisoners, who explains that all those confined here were former recipients of the Uni-Power and kidnapped by the Psycho-Man to steal his powers. Quickly thinking of a way out, Spider-Man has one of the tentacled aliens recover his web-shooters, which Psycho-Man placed out of Spider-Man's reach as a form of torture. With his web-shooters in hand, Spider-Man manages to snare the release levers, freeing himself and the others. The escape sets off the alarms, and Psycho-Man tries to subdue the prisoners with a psychedelic gas. Spider-Man manages to swing above the gas and escapes through a vent. He finds himself in the Psycho-Man's inner sanctum. There, unaware that his foe is watching him, Spider-Man opens the floating sphere and discovers that it contains a miniature universe. The Psycho-Man tries to attack the wall-crawler, his spider-sense warns him of the danger. As the two battle it out, Psycho-Man explains that he shrank this micro-universe in size to allow him to contain it in his ship. When the inhabitants of that world agreed to make him their master, he realized that he did not have enough power to restore this universe to its natural size, hence why he sought out the Uni-Power. Spider-Man points out that Psycho-Man could have just shrunk himself down in size, something that didn't occur to the genius. Their struggle slams them into Psycho-Man's shrinking machine, shrinking both down in size. However, Psycho-Man still has his personal size changing device to try and increase his size relative to Spider-Man. However, the aliens that Psycho-Man have been attempting to enslave use their own growth device to increase Spider-Man's size. The hero ends up smashing the Psycho-Man's emotion caster leaving him powerless. The aliens then blast Psycho-Man shrinking him even smaller while restoring Spider-Man to his natural size and back to his own universe. He reappears in the laboratory of Harry Osborn, and after telling him a brief explanation of what happened, the wall-crawler leaves a confused man. Spider-Man returns home where he is reunited with his wife Mary Jane. After making sure he has returned to his full size, Peter and Mary Jane decide to celebrate his return. Meanwhile, back in the Microverse, Psycho-Man's former captors see no reason to restore the stolen universe to its normal size, since size is relative, as long as peace, justice and freedom prevails.
