After Miles Morales finds out that his uncle Aaron Davis is really the Prowler and escapes from his apartment, the latter tracks him down and leads Kingpin and his other henchmen; Scorpion, Tombstone and Doctor Octopus, to Aunt May's house, where they and the other Spider-Men summoned by the super-collider (Spider-Man/Peter B. Parker, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker and SP//DR, and Spider-Ham) start to fight for the USB drive which destroys the house.

That night, Scorpion and the other villains ambush the Spider-People (Kingpin and his goons having anticipated that they would come and foil the plot) until Miles as the new Spider-Man arrives to help them. Scorpion fights Peni Parker and SP//DR and gains the upper hand by destroying the SP//DR robot. he is about to kill Peni until Spider-Ham prevents him.

After Miles sends all the Spider-People back to their dimensions, defeats Kingpin and destroys the Super-Collider, Scorpion is possibly arrested off-screen.
