The Spectacular Spider-Man

The Spectacular Spider-Man is an animated series chronicling the adventures of Marvel's webbed superhero, which aires on the Disney Channel. It is the third animated Spider-Man television series, after the original 60's show and the long standing 90's series. It had two seasons and condensed many of the classic Stan Lee and Steve Ditko storylines and characters in a reintroduction of Spider-man's adventures. It focuses solely on Peter Parker's high school years, immediately after being bitten by a radioactive spider, and given amazing super powers. Peter decides to become a crime-fighting costumed vigilante while also balancing the confusing stress-filled life of a high school teenager. Peter lives with his Aunt May, who was widowed after an armed robber gunned down Peter's Uncle Ben shortly after Peter gained his spider powers. He works as a freelance photographer for tyrant editor J. Jonah Jameson at the Daily Bugle, taking snapshots of himself in action as his web-slinging alter-ego. As Spider-Man, Peter must defeat super villains like Venom, The Big Man, Dr. Octopus, and the mysterious Green Goblin. MORE
