THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ANIMATED SERIES
The
first season features a shy bookworm named Peter Parker beginning his junior
year at Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School, having only been bitten by the
genetically-modified spider and acquired his powers and alias as Spider-Man in
recent months. While harassed at school, particularly by football star 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 a job as a freelance photographer at the Daily Bugle, owned by the
loudmouth, irascible, egotistical, and gruff publisher named J. Jonah Jameson,
by obtaining pictures of his alter-ego in action so he could carry out a smear
campaign against Spider-Man that has, at least temporarily, turned much of the
gullible city against the hero. Peter 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 attention initially drawn to his
fights with the Enforcers, Vulture, Electro and the Lizard. With the help of
Norman Osborn, his chief scientist Dr. Otto Octavius and criminal Hammerhead,
the Big Man (alias of crime lord Tombstone) oversees the development of a
project to create "supervillains" designed to distract Spider-Man
from other crimes and stop damaging his profits. These new enemies include
Sandman and Rhino, both petty criminals who regularly fell victim to
Spider-Man. However, the Big Man's plans become greatly complicated when the
mysterious Green Goblin enters the picture. Throughout the first season, the
other opponents are introduced are Black Cat who has a crush on him, Shocker
and Chameleon. Quentin Beck and Phineas Mason appear as Chameleon's associates.
After the Green Goblin is vanquished, Spider-Man's symbiote black suit makes an
appearance, eventually leading to Eddie Brock's transformation into Venom.
