[edit] Episodes

[edit] Season 1

The first season features Peter Parker beginning his junior year at Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School, having only acquired his powers and alias as Spider-Man in recent months. While harassed at school, primarily by Flash Thompson, he is close friends with classmates Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. In order to help support his Aunt May after the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter is able to get freelance work at the Daily Bugle, run by J. Jonah Jameson, by obtaining pictures of his alter-ego in action. He and Gwen are also given junior lab assistant positions under Dr. Curt Connors at Empire State University, where they join their friend and mentor Eddie Brock.

As Spider-Man uses his powers to fight against petty crime, he gains the attention of the Big Man, who orchestrates crime in New York City. With the help of Norman Osborn and Dr. Otto Octavius, the Big Man oversees development of a project to create "supervillians" designed to distract Spider-Man from other crimes and stop damaging his profits. However, these motives become greatly challenged as the mysterious Green Goblin enters the picture. Throughout the first season, other opponents are introduced, including Vulture, Hammerhead, the Enforcers, Electro, Lizard, Sandman, Rhino, Tombstone, Doctor Octopus, Black Cat and Chameleon. Quentin Beck and Phineas Mason appear as Chameleon's associates. Spider-Man's symbiote black suit also makes an appearance, eventually leading to Eddie Brock's transformation into Venom.

[edit] Season 2

Following their confrontation in Season 1's finale, Peter starts the second season searching for Eddie Brock, but the main thrust of the season involves Spider-Man searching for a new crime lord called the Master Planner and a later gang war that erupts between several established villains, along with newly-introduced mob boss Silvio Manfredi a.k.a. Silvermane. New characters introduced in the second season include Molten Man, Roderick Kingsley, Kraven the Hunter, Calypso, Silver Sable, Miles Warren, Sha Shan Nguyen, Cletus Kasady, and Morris Bench. Fancy Dan follows Montana's lead and adopts a super-villain identity, calling himself Ricochet (which, in the comics, was a cover identity Spider-Man used for a short time). Chameleon's associates Quentin Beck and Phineas Mason return but in a different form, as Mysterio and the Tinkerer respectively. Mysterio and Kraven replace Doctor Octopus and Shocker as members of the Sinister Six. The Green Goblin's identity is finally revealed, answering lingering questions from season 1. Most of this season's episodes have a lot of attention on Flash, Kenny, Randy, Sha Shan, Sally, Glory, and a plot of a play called "Midsummer Night's Dream" at the school and the Green Goblin's identity is finally revealed, answering lingering questions from season 1.
