''If This Be My Destiny...!'', also known as the ''Master Planner'' arc (ASM #31-33), is the first arc of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'', and is considered the masterpiece of Creator/StanLee's and Creator/SteveDitko's run on ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko The Amazing Spider-Man''.
Peter Parker is just starting college when Aunt May becomes deathly ill. Meanwhile, a new villain called the Master Planner, organizes the theft of radioactive material and various technological devices. Despite being at his lowest ebb with virtually no way to fight back, Peter must overcome the odds to expose the identity of the Master Planner and somehow save Aunt May.
----
!!''If This Be My Destiny...!'' provides the following:
* BloodTransfusionPlot: The blood transfusion that Peter gave Aunt May in issue #10 causes her to fall deathly ill from the radiation in his blood and requires a special isotope to save her life.
* BigBad: The Master Planner, he's the main villain in the largest story arc of the entire run.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko'', Aunt May's health decreases to the point where she needs a blood transfusion from Peter. Peter worries that his radioactive blood might have an adverse effect on Aunt May, but participates in the transfusion anyway to save his aunt. This later comes back to haunt Peter in the ''If This Be My Destiny'' arc when
* CollapsingLair: When the Master Planner's base comes down, Spider-Man is trapped under tons of debris and has to push his strength to the limits to free himself.
* DarkerAndEdgier: This arc is the closest Spider-Man has personally come to dying, after being pinned down under a ton of machinery in Doctor Octopus' lair.
* {{Determinator}}: Spider-Man never gives up trying to defeat the Master Planner so that he can save Aunt May's life, overcoming the odds to save his ParentalSubstitute.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Despite being at his lowest ebb with virtually no way to fight back, Peter overcomes the odds, defeats, scares, and exposes Doctor Octopus as the Planner, he finally gets one over JJJ (negotiating a raise), maturely gives up on Betty Brant and passes by, and saves his Aunt. This is one of the first unambiguous triumphs Spider-Man has had after many half-hearted back-and-forth failures in the early run and it's still one of the few outright positive moments in all the books.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: The [[TheChessmaster Master Planner]].
* HellYesMoment: One of the most iconic examples in comics history. Spider-Man lifting himself out of a pile of heavy machinery in a flooded room: "I did it! I'm free!"
* HeroicSecondWind: Perhaps the most famous example is in issue #33, when Spider-Man lifts a ''massive'' piece of steel he'd been trapped under, in a room filling up with water, when he reminds himself about the final ingredient of the medicine Aunt May needs [[RaceAgainstTheClock before it's too late]].
* HeroicSpirit: Issue #33 was one of the best issues of [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko the original Stan Lee/Steve Ditko run]]. Spider-Man is trapped under a huge piece of equipment after a fight with Doctor Octopus. His Aunt May is dying and needs a serum to cure her. Spidey thinks about giving up but is determined not to let Aunt May down. He uses every ounce of strength and will and finally lifts the wreckage off.
* HijackedByGanon: The Master Planner turns out to be Doctor Octopus.
* ItWasHisSled: The reveal that the Master Planner is Doctor Octopus was so long ago practically whoever's into Spider-Man knows it.
* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: It was in the background of the ''If This Be My Destiny'' arc which heightens the isolation and loneliness Peter faces with Aunt May dying, struggling to pay bills, and coming off as aloof, while the final panel has the doctor noting how Spider-Man gets credit while TheRealHeroes like Peter get little reward. This was part of the reason why Peter initially avoided being set up on a date by Aunt May for the as-yet-unseen Mary-Jane because he was drawn to the broader social circle of Empire State University while he felt that Aunt May's match would be a little too typical for his sake (he was wrong of course).
* TheReveal: The Master Planner is Doctor Octopus.
* ReturningBigBad: Doctor Octopus takes on the moniker of "Master Planner", committing heists of technological equipment.
* SickEpisode: Aunt May gets sick from radiation poisoning as a result of a blood transfusion from Peter Parker. To cure her, Spider-Man finds out that he needs to get a radioactive isotope to formulate a cure, which unfortunately ends up in the hands of ComicBook/DoctorOctopus.
* SignatureSeriesArc: This is the defining arc of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko'', with Spider-Man lifting tons of machinery ''still'' one of the most oft-featured, oft-reproduced images across comics history.
