Marvel's Spider-Man Episode Twenty-Four: The Hobgoblin, Part One

The Hobgoblin, Part One


First Aired: February 18th, 2018

Synopsis: Peter tries talking to Harry and resolving things between them but Harry is still annoyed. Peter has to leave to investigate some loud noise as Spider-Man, and he finds Doctor Octopus capturing Max Modell, alongside the Sinister Five. They're successful in getting away with Max despite Spidey's best efforts. Harry, meanwhile, is experimenting to try and undo the damage dealt to Norman by Spider-Man's blood, and tests his cure on himself to see whether it will bond to his DNA. Spider-Man continues chasing after Doctor Octopus, but is waylaid by Vulture, Steel Spider, and Rhino. He defeats all of them, and although he loses Doctor Octopus in the process, he guesses that Ock is at his old base that he used when they briefly were a team. Doctor Octopus is in there, but when Spider-Man tells him to let Max go he complies suspiciously easily and then reveals that Max was just a way to draw Spider-Man's attention and let the Sinister Five wear him down. He then puts a mind control disc on Spider-Man, making his team the Sinister Six.

The Ultimate Slayer

First Aired: October 5th, 1996

Synopsis: Peter discovers in the Daily Bugle that Mary Jane and Harry Osborn are engaged, right before getting a call from Alistair Smythe, who wants Spider-Man's help. He suspects that Kingpin is going to betray him, and wants to be saved. Peter changes to Spider-Man and goes to the meeting spot, but Alistair arrives, heavily mutated, and attacks him. Spider-Man only survives when Madam Web teleports him away, and tells him to focus on why Alistair is attacking him rather than how to stop him. Alistair returns to the Kingpin, and it's revealed that he's got programming so that he can't hurt Kingpin or the scientist who transformed him - Herbert Landon. Alistair flashes back to being transformed by Landon, and then to his father's death. He decides that Norman Osborn is responsible for his father's death, and flies off in his hover-chair to confront Osborn. Norman's at Oscorp Towers for a press conference, as are Peter, Mary Jane, and Harry. Peter talks to Mary Jane about her engagement, and she implies that that she doesn't actually love Harry.

The Spider Slayer

First Aired: February 4th, 1995

Synopsis: Spider-Man is attacked by flying robots which explode while he's out web-swinging. He defeats them, not knowing that scientist Spencer Smythe and his son Alistair are behind it. Norman Osborn is funding them, which Spencer has agreed to as he wants the money to make a hover-chair for Alistair, who's in a wheelchair. Unbeknownst to them, Norman is working for the Kingpin, and if the Spider-Slayer - the giant robot they've designed to defeat Spider-Man - doesn't do the job, Kingpin gets control of Norman's company. Elsewhere, a gala ball is behind organised by J. Jonah Jameson, who's hosting it, and Felicia Hardy, whose mother is a philanthropist sponsoring it. Peter is assigned as the photographer since he's cheap, and Jonah discovers that Peter and Felicia go to college together. Once the gala starts, Felicia starts flirting with Peter, which annoys Flash enough for him to change into a Spider-Man costume in an attempt to humiliate Peter - right before the Spider-Slayer attacks.
