Plot[]

Season 1[]

Gifted teenager Peter Parker is given superpowers when he is bitten by a radioactive spider during a school field trip to Oscorp Industries. After the death of his Uncle Ben by a burglar that he hesitated to stop at a wrestling arena, Peter comes to his own terms of being the superhero Spider-Man. Sometime later, Peter begins learning how to balance his crime-fighting career with his new enrollment at Horizon High, a school for students with genius-level intellect run by headmaster Max Modell. Joining Peter in his ordeals against Jackal, Norman Osborn, and numerous other villains are his classmates Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales (who develops powers similar to Peter's and becomes the Ultimate Spider-Man), and Anya Corazon, as well as his best friend Harry Osborn (who eventually becomes the superhero Hobgoblin).^[1]

Besides Jackal and Norman, other villains introduced this season include Doctor Octopus, Vulture, the Venom, Rhino, the Smythes (Spencer and Alistair), Hammerhead, Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, A.I.M., Curt Connors, Sand Girl, Scorpion, and Crossbones. Other characters introduced in this season include May Parker, Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, Randy Robertson, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Sandman.

Season 2[]

Taking place a few months after the previous season, Peter navigates through his sophomore year while contending with Doctor Octopus' plot of becoming the Superior Spider-Man by possessing his body. Convinced by Peter's memories of Uncle Ben into seeing the error of his ways, Otto Octavious eventually reverses the body-swap and works to restore Peter's relationships with his peers while reforming himself as an ally to Spider-Man. Towards the end of the season, Spider-Man and company discover the existence of a cult-like organization led by Adrian Toomes called themselves the Goblin Nation, armed with the same kind of Goblin technology used by Norman.^[5]

During this season, Peter gains a career at the Daily Bugle, Anya becomes Spider-Girl alias when her Spider Powers from the "Spider-Island" incident resurface, Gwen becomes Ghost-Spider after her Spider Powers are awakened by the Blood Gem relic, and Spider-Man forms a "Spider Team" with his inner circle.

Taking place two weeks after the previous season, Spider-Man and Max Modell must save the Earth from an invasion of Klyntar summoned by Venom. Concurrently to all of this, Spider-Man and company must prove Max's innocence after the latter is framed by Dr. Connors, eventually discovering that Norman Osborn has been pulling the strings following his near-death at the hands of Spider-Man and Hobgoblin. While they are able to expose Norman's conspiracy and vanquish the Klyntar for good, the Spider Team's victory comes at the cost of demolishing Horizon High. To keep the spirit of their former school alive, they convince Iron Man to help them fund a tech laboratory called Worldwide Engineering Brigade "W.E.B." at an abandoned warehouse, with Peter believing that a bright future is ahead of them.

During this season, Max admits to being aware of Spider-Man's identity since the downfall of the Goblin Nation, Gwen and Anya become aware of Spider-Man's identity and vice versa thanks to Connors' manipulations, Norman is temporarily resurrected as a hybrid of Venom and Jackal's DNA known as the Dark Goblin before being reverted later, and Peter befriends Mary Jane Watson.

Characters[]

Spider Team[]

The Spider Team are the primary protagonists of the series, being Horizon High students with spider-like abilities. The team was first formed during the "Spider Island" arc, when Spider-Man, Miles, Spider-Gwen, Anya, and Harry banded together to cure everyone of the Man-Spider mutations. The Spider Team was resurged during the "Bring on the Bad Guys" arc after Anya keeps her powers, and was later officially named as such in "The Day Without Spider-Man" after Gwen regains her powers from when she was Spider-Gwen. In "Vengeance of Venom" Pt. 2, the Spider Team (sans Spider-Man) are among the heroes captured by the Klyntar during their invasion of Earth before being cured by Anti-Venom off-screen. Following Venom's demise in "Maximum Venom" Pt. 2, the Spider Team becomes founding members of the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (or "W.E.B." for short).

• Spider-Man / Peter Parker (voiced by Robbie Daymond)^[6] – The show's teenage titular protagonist. After he was bitten by a genetically-modified spider during a field trip to Oscorp, Peter gains superhuman spider-abilities which led him to become a crime-fighting vigilante superhero known as Spider-Man, after the tragic fate of his late Uncle Ben who left him with a last message: "With great power, there must also comes great responsibility". During the series, Peter tries to balance his crime-fighting and civilian lives as a student in Horizon High and a freelance photographer at the Daily Bugle. Besides the rest of the Spider Team, only Max, Anna Maria, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow, Norman, Venom, Dr. Connors, Eddie, and the board of education know Spider-Man's secret identity. His various Spider-Man costumes are an amalgamation of his various iterations and Ben Reilly.
• Ultimate Spider-Man / Miles Morales (voiced by Nadji Jeter)^[6] – One of Peter's classmates and close friends at Horizon High, and Spider-Man's primary partner-in-justice. After being bitten by the Electrolis Arachnatis spider, he is mentored by Spider-Man on how to use his abilities in "Ultimate Spider-Man". Miles is the first person to discover Spider-Man's secret identity, as shown in "Kraven's Amazing Hunt". Besides the rest of the Spider Team, only Max and Jefferson know the Ultimate Spider-Man's secret identity.
• Ghost-Spider / Gwen Stacy (voiced by Laura Bailey)^[6] – One of Peter's classmates and close friends at Horizon High. Unique to this show, she is portrayed as Warren's niece. In Season 1, Gwen briefly takes on the Spider-Gwen alias when New York was exposed to the Jackal's chemicals during the "Spider-Island" arc. In Season 2, Gwen regains her abilities due to exposure to the Blood Gem relic and adopts the Ghost-Spider alias in "The Day Without Spider-Man". In Maximum Venom, Ghost-Spider and Spider-Man discover each other's secret identities and reconcile for withholding the truth. Besides the other major members of the Spider Team, only Max and Jackal know Ghost-Spider's secret identity.
• Spider-Girl / Anya Corazon (voiced by Melanie Minichino)^[6] – A Latina (half Puerto Rican; half Mexican) girl and one of Peter's classmates and close friends at Horizon High, and Gwen's best friend.

Besides the other major members of the Spider Team, only Max and Chameleon know Spider-Girl's secret identity.
• Hobgoblin / Harry Osborn (voiced by Max Mittelman)^[6] – Peter's best friend and a student at Osborn Academy. He created the Goblin technology (glider, pumpkin bombs and flaming energy sword), eventually moonlighting as the hero Hobgoblin. Outside of the Spider heroes, he gets the most screen time, plot importance, and characterization in Season 1 out of Peter's circle of friends. Throughout Season 1, Harry was resentful of Spider-Man, blaming him for his expulsion from Horizon High and other misfortunes, yet supportive towards Peter. Harry eventually discovers his best friend's secret identity during the "Spider Island" arc, putting his friendship with Peter at risk. In "The Hobgoblin", Harry reconciles with Peter after saving his friend from Octavius's mind control and stands against Norman after learning of his father's true colors. In subsequent seasons, Harry spends a long vacation overseas running Oscorp as the company's acting CEO following Norman's apparent death. He returns in certain episodes, assisting the Spider Team in stopping the Goblin Nation and the Dark Goblin. Unique to this show, he is partially inspired by Phil Urich due to his black hair and the Hobgoblin alias.
• Grady Scraps (voiced by Scott Menville) – An intelligent student who attended Bilderberg Academy and later enrolled at Horizon High after spending some time in home-school. During the Maximum Venom season, Grady helps Spider-Man during the Klyntar's invasion, causes a acid-related accident that allows the Spider Team to uncover evidence of Connors's conspiracy, and teams up with Mary Jane to protect Venom's seed from the Symbiote Sisters. Following these events, Grady is a founding member of W.E.B. Grady also has a robot assistant named Bleet.

Supporting[]

• Max Modell (voiced by Fred Tatasciore)^[6] – The headmaster of Horizon High who is a target of various antagonists' personal vendettas. Max eventually pieces together Peter's identity as Spider-Man. During the Maximum Venom season, Max gets placed under investigation before being removed from his position by the school board and replaced by Dr. Connors. However, Max regains his old job after the school board finds out that his "corrupt operations" were a part of Norman's conspiracy against him and the Spider Team; it is also revealed that he knows of Miles, Gwen, and Anya's respective identities. Unfortunately, Max is possessed by Venom until Spider-Man manages to reach him. When Horizon High is destroyed following the Klyntar's demise, Max states that the Spider Team must find a way to keep Horizon's spirit alive.

• Uncle Ben Parker (voiced by Patton Oswalt)^[6] – Peter's late uncle and May's late husband.

In "Maximum Venom", Mary Jane attends the dance at Horizon High with Peter before teaming up with Grady to protect the Symbiote seed from the Symbiote Sisters. After the Klyntar are vanquished, Mary Jane helps inspire Peter to establish W.E.B.
• J. Jonah Jameson (voiced by Bob Joles)^[7] – The Daily Bugle Communications' head, and the Spider Team's regular critic. In season 2, he makes his contempt for Spider-Man clear. Peter worked for Jameson as a freelance photographer, providing footage of Spider-Man that was in better quality compared to Eddie's, starting in "How I Thwipped My Summer Vacation". However, this lasted until "Venom Returns", where he fires Peter for helping Spider-Man (actually Miles in disguise) in thwarting Venom and Eddie's hostage plot; he also fired Eddie for the previous betrayal. Jameson generally views Spider-Man as a menace, but temporarily supported Superior Spider-Man being impressed with the more ruthless demeanor.

Villains[]

Primary villains[]

• Doctor Octopus / Otto Octavius / Superior Spider-Man (voiced by Scott Menville as Doctor Octopus, Robbie Daymond as Superior Spider-Man)^[6] – A scientific prodigy equipped with a tentacle-like harness who graduated from school early and a former teacher at Horizon High. Growing up, Octavius had a hard life between being picked on by the jock Steve and having problems with his own father Torbert. In Season 1, an accident by the Crimson Dynamo caused his harness with tentacle-like appendages to be fused to his body, turning him into a criminal, renaming himself Doctor Octopus. He uses the Sinister Six for his own ambitions which eventually are foiled by Spider-Man and the Hobgoblin. In Season 2, Octavius uses the Neuro Cortex to be more powerful. His body falls into a coma but his consciousness ends up in cyberspace and a robotic body dubbed the Living Brain to remain alive before relocating himself into Spider-Man's body, adopting the Superior Spider-Man alias. Despite his original agenda, Octavius ends up being friends with Anna Maria as well as restores himself and Peter to their former selves after realizing what it truly means to be a hero. After waking from his coma, he seems to be on his way towards being Spider-Man's ally. Octavius dies by fading away into light particles after using the Neuro Cortex to disable the Goblin mech, leaving his tentacles behind. He is honored as a hero at his funeral.
• Norman Osborn / Dark Goblin (voiced by Josh Keaton)^[8] – Harry's ruthless father and Oscorp's original CEO. During Season 1, he secretly orchestrated Harry's suspension from Horizon High and created Osborn Academy in an attempt to make his son into New York's definite hero, with Spider-Man's very existence being an interference with that vision. Despite his manipulative and corrupt nature, he genuinely cares for his son and sought to prevent the carrying out of the Jackal's master plan which he initially achieved but is presumed dead in the process yet resurfaced as the apparent Spider King of the Man-Spider army before being cured of mutations. Osborn ultimately donned replica Hobgoblin technology and tried to end Spider-Man himself only to be betrayed by Harry and presumed dead after an explosion. Unknown to anyone, he had been injured to the point of missing his left arm and right leg, being deathly thin, and his face's right side was burnt, watching Spider-Man in the shadows over the following months. In Maximum Venom, Osborn finally reveals himself upon being restored as the Dark Goblin (a hybrid of symbiote DNA and new animal hybrid formulas). He has also been collaborating with his own villain team to formulate a conspiracy to turn the board of education against Spider-Man and Max, essentially leading his forces to take over Horizon High, out of revenge for Osborn Academy's fall. However, the Spider Team reversed the process on his healing pod, and he is reverted into human form (with his injuries healed and missing limbs regenerated) and taken into custody while his conspiracy is exposed to the board of education.
• Jackal / Raymond Warren (voiсed by John DiMaggio)^[6] – An animalistic, green-furred criminal who specializes in hybridization and generating clones of himself, and Gwen's maternal uncle. He is the creator of the spiders behind the Spider Team's abilities. In season 1, he wants to use his collection of genetically modified spiders to create an entire army of spider/Jackal-hybrids at his command for which he was dismissed as a staff member at Empire State University for his genetic experiments. He has also been conspiring with Spencer and Doctor Octopus against Osborn. After his lab is demolished during a battle with Spider-Man and the Sinister Six, Warren's master plan is launched ahead of schedule with the creation of an army of Man-Spiders only for it to be ultimately thwarted by the Spider Team's teamwork. After a long absence, Warren returns in Maximum Venom as part of the Dark Goblin's conspiracy, having traded his collection of serums for a synthetic Klyntar created to use in his personal scheme of turning Ghost-Spider (whose secret identity he has knowledge of) into a Jackal-like entity. During the fight between the Spider Team and the Dark Goblin's team, Warren is defeated by the Ultimate Spider-Man and officially taken into custody.
• Vulture / Adrian Toomes / Goblin King (voiced by Alistair Duncan)^[6] – A vulture-themed villain and scientist. In season 1, a personal vendetta against Max due to being fired for stealing equipment which the Vulture claims that the stolen tech was originally his results in his first fight with Spider-Man ending in defeat. However, he's released in Osborn's custody to work at Osborn Academy. During his time under Osborn, he developed Vulture technology to be used by Oscorp via the Vulture Force. The Vulture later joins the Osborn Commandos before being brainwashed by Doctor Octopus and is later freed by Spider-Man and the Hobgoblin. In Season 2, the Vulture works to reform himself before being recruited as the Wake Riders' leader. It's later shown that Toomes has established the Goblin Nation as the semi-charismatic Goblin King, so that he can be recognized for his technology by assimilating Electro's and Silvermane's respective inventions and stealing Oscorp's Goblin schematics. He also manipulated Harry with the Goblin Mech's construction. Toomes is ultimately defeated when the Goblin Mech is sabotaged by Doctor Octopus using the Neuro Cortex and is webbed up by Spider-Man.
• Venom / V-252 / Maximum Venom (voiced by various voice actors depending on which host while bonded to) – A volatile Klyntar warrior who was originally created by the Symbiote Sisters from the All-Black's remains as a champion. Over the centuries since the Symbiote Sisters avenged the All-Black by mutilating their original alien race, Venom has spread their species across thousands of planets, infecting any alien species they encounter and eventually coming to Earth on a crash site of a meteor at Duncan Valley. In Season 1, the V-252 was sent over to Horizon High for research. After getting stolen by the Black Cat, the V-252 briefly merges with Spider-Man and later Flash as hosts before being defeated by Spider-Man and taken into captivity. In Season 2, the Venom symbiote merges with Eddie and secretly exploits his host's jealousy towards Peter. Venom attempts to publicly expose Spider-Man's identity but is put in a coma by an experimental sonic device, eventually reawakening from stasis when he is mutated into a blob-like monster without needing a host. Assaulting Midtown High in search of Spider-Man, Venom discovers the Superior Spider-Man instead. After Peter's former self is restored, Venom is overloaded into submission using electricity. In Maximum Venom, Venom acts on his original purpose as a scout. Freed by Dr. Connors under Norman's orders, Venom escapes to Duncan Valley and uses an energy seed contained in his old meteor to summon the other Klyntar from his home planet before being mostly destroyed by Spider-Man while his race's invasion is later thwarted by Anti-Venom. However, a fragment survived and recuperated within Max's bloodstream through a parasitic relationship before possessing his host as Maximum Venom and summoning the Symbiote Sisters to Earth. Unfortunately for Venom, Max is able to overcome the symbiote's control before destroying his seed, permanently vanquishing Venom for good.

He released the Technovore from Horizon High's project graveyard and made it look like an accident caused by Grady in order for Spider-Man to showcase the synthetic symbiote copy, and gets temporarily possessed by Venom. Connors successfully manages to take control of both Horizon High and Max's lab by commandeering Max's job until the end of the term, and retrieves the symbiote seed from Venom's meteor to be used to restore his employer. He also blackmails Spider-Man into unmasking in front of the school board. But during the fight between the Spider Team and the Dark Goblin's team, Connors discovers there is no full cure for his condition and transforms into the Lizard before escaping into the city. The Dark Goblin's conspiracy and manipulation of Connors is eventually exposed to the school board and Max's old job is restored.
