Attack of the Arachnoid
First Aired: October 8th, 1983Synopsis: The Spider-Friends have a fight with Scorpion, who has a vial of a gas which can make villains. The heroes are able to stop him, but some of the gas escapes in the process. Meanwhile, a scientist named Zoltan has created a serum which will give him Spider-Man's powers, thus letting him commit crimes as Spider-Man. Spider-Man will get the blame, while he'll get money for his research. He injects himself with the serum and soon starts committing crimes, during which time he fights and defeats secret government agent Iceman and Firestar. The two heroes question Peter, who was sleeping at the time, and together they decide to try and find Spider-Man's doppelganger. Unfortunately, Spider-Man and Zoltan's spider-senses interfere with each other, and Spider-Man blacks out after getting a spider-tracer onto Zoltan. When he comes to, he finds himself under arrest for the crimes Zoltan committed.
