"Learning Curve" is a story arc of ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', set in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe.
As the Parkers need money, Peter takes photos of himself as Spider-Man, and tries to sell them at the Daily Bugle. He gets minium pay, but gets hired as webmaster instead. With the info of the Bugle's web page he finds about the crime corporation of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, that Ben Urich is trying to stop to no avail. He gets into his tower, but gets defeated by Electro, Kingpin's henchman, and thrown out of the window. But he kept the mask as a souvenir, puts it on a criminal that failed him, and killed and disposed of him. The media founds the corpse with the Spider-Man mask, and peter has a new idea: sneak into the tower, but with the plan to retrieve any CDs around, to get the records of the security cameras. One of those records had filmed killing that criminal. He gives it to Urich, who publishes it. Fisk must now leave the country, while his lawyers try to clear him.
