Ultimate Spider-Man Episode Sixty: New Warriors

New Warriors


First Aired: October 14th, 2014

Synopsis: Spider-Man introduces his team to the New Warriors - Agent Venom, Iron Spider, Ka-Zar and Zabu. They start a training session but are interrupted by Taskmaster teleporting in with his own team, consisting of Cloak, Dagger, and Vulture. Cloak teleports away Spider-Man's original team before Spider-Man and the New Warriors are locked in the room by Taskmaster. They escape via a passageway and then head to where prisoners are incarcerated, realising that Taskmaster's there to free people, but they screw up and accidentally free Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Beetle, and Scorpion. The Goblin teleports away with Taskmaster's team after breaking Amadeus' Iron Spider outfit, and after a brief fight with the remaining villains Spidey and his team make a tactical retreat. Doctor Octopus, Beetle, and Scorpion start to escape the helicarrier using a jet, but Vulture, wanting revenge on Ock, manages to damage it badly enough that it returns to the helicarrier.

The Savage Spider-Man


First Aired: October 7th, 2014

Synopsis: Spider-Man and Wolverine are in the Savage Land. After Spider-Man takes out a t-rex that attacked him he goes over their mission again - they're there to recruit Ka-Zar, a teenager raised in the Savage Land with natural hunter's skills. When they find Ka-Zar he fights them for a bit as his brother Zabu was captured by two people, but he eventually realises they didn't do it. They follow the trail of the villains, who turn out to be Kraven the Hunter and Taskmaster, and Spider-Man discovers that Zabu is a sabretooth cat. Ka-Zar refuses Taskmaster's offer to join him, and some darts are fired at the heroes. One of them hits Spider-Man and, as it contains poison from the Savage Land, it turns him into a spider monster. Although Ka-Zar wants to go after Zabu Wolverine convinces him that they need to help Spider-Man, and after a brief fight Ka-Zar uses the cure on Spider-Man - the fumes of a skunk-like creature native to the Savage Land.

Ultimate Spider-Man Episode Fifty-Eight: The Vulture

The Vulture


First Aired: September 28th, 2014

Synopsis: Spider-Man is looking for the Vulture, a flying person who's been spotted around the city. The Vulture stops a mugging but drops the mugger from a great height, so Spider-Man naturally has to save him. From where Vulture's been seen Spider-Man's able to calculate his most likely lair, but unbeknownst to him is overheard by Taskmaster. When Spider-Man goes to the lair he realises that it's one of Doctor Octopus' old ones, and that Vulture must be a result of Ock's experiments. He briefly fights Vulture who reveals that he's amnesiac and desperate for his memories. Vulture finds a random metal plate which is apparently related to his memories and flies away, and when Spider-Man checks it he sees it's from Oscorp. Spider-Man heads off to Oscorp, but once he's gone Taskmaster sneaks into the lair and tampers with a hidden computer.

The Next Iron Spider


First Aired: September 21st, 2014

Synopsis: Peter is having lunch with Aunt May when the Juggernaut robs an armoured car outside. By the time Peter's switched to Spider-Man Juggernaut has already been defeated by teenage superhero Squirrel Girl, who caused a lot of property damage in the process. She leaves, after which Juggernaut reveals he was only pretending to be defeated, but Spider-Man defeats him easily nevertheless. Nick Fury calls Spidey and tells him that he wants Amadeus Cho, a classmate of Peter's who's the seventh smartest person in the world, to be recruited for SHIELD. Spider-Man's reluctant to do so. The next day at school Peter brings in the Iron Spider armour, since apparently he's allowed to let people take photos next to it for a fundraiser, but it gets taken away by Stan, the new principal of the school, since Fury wouldn't want it to be available to people, but Peter discovers it's Taskmaster in disguise and changes to Spider-Man. While fighting Taskmaster with Nova and Luke, Amadeus somehow gets into the armour and helps fight Taskmaster, but Taskmaster escapes midway through the fight.

Agent Venom


First Aired: September 7th, 2014

Synopsis: Spider-Man is swinging around when he sees a symbiote on an electronic billboard, and is soon attacked by a Venom-empowered Scorpion. As they fight they're interrupted by Flash Thompson, wearing a homemade costume and calling himself the Scarlet Spider. Spider-Man is able to remove the symbiote from Scorpion and defeat him, but tells Flash that he isn't a superhero and needs to leave. Flash isn't happy with this, but unbeknownst to all a small piece of the symbiote Spider-Man missed attaches itself to Flash's shoe. At the same time, Beetle watches the whole thing. The next day at school Flash is friendly with Peter, saying that he's training to be a superhero, but then Beetle bursts in with orders from Taskmaster to retrieve the symbiote. Peter changes to Spider-Man, but Flash wants to help his idol and so the symbiote from the previous night covers his body completely, turning him into the new Venom. The two work together to stop Beetle, but while Spider-Man's trying to convince Flash to remove the symbiote, Beetle escapes.

Ultimate Spider-Man Episode Forty-Two: Ultimate Deadpool

Ultimate Deadpool


First Aired: July 14th, 2013

Synopsis: Spider-Man is swinging around in the rain and having a bad day, while unbeknownst to him, nearby Deadpool is fighting thugs working for Taskmaster. When Spider-Man goes to the helicarrier he finds Deadpool there, talking to his team - he used to train with them before Spider-Man started working with SHIELD, but left to become a freelance hero. Deadpool explains that he's there because an agent stole a SHIELD list with a bunch of superhero secret identities, and he's going to get it back. His computer searching finds Taskmaster's base, and he heads off - but Spider-Man asks to come with him as he's impressed by Deadpool. While they're flying to the base in Deadpool's jet they're attacked by Taskmaster's thugs, using jetpacks. Deadpool evacuates Spider-Man and himself from the jet and they fight the thugs as they fall to the ground, but for the sake of humour Deadpool sabotages Spider-Man's web-parachute. They land near Taskmaster's base, but Deadpool reveals that he plans to kill Taskmaster.

Ultimate Spider-Man Episode Six: Why I Hate Gym

Why I Hate Gym


First Aired: April 29th, 2012

Synopsis: Spider-Man and White Tiger team up to defeat Batroc the Leaper, and White Tiger criticises Spider-Man for not training enough. Unbeknownst to them, Doctor Octopus and Taskmaster watch them. The next day, Principal Coulson reveals that they've got a new gym teacher, Mr. Jaeger, who unbeknownst to the students, is Taskmaster in disguise. In gym class Jaeger puts the team through a rigorous obstacle course in the hopes of discovering which of them is Spider-Man, and gets suspicious of Flash Thompson. Peter, for his part, intentionally does badly at the course. Jaeger tells Flash, Harry Osborn, and Danny Rand to come to school the next day - a Saturday - since they've done so well. Ava did a good job but wasn't asked to come in, and she's insulted enough that she shows up the next day anyway, where she finds the school locked up and with the security devices SHIELD installed activated. She calls Peter up and the two of them enter the school as White Tiger and Spider-Man. The two find Coulson tied up in his office, where he reveals that Taskmaster has taken over the school, and they can't call Fury because signals are being blocked.
