First Aired: June 14th, 1970

Synopsis: While swinging around the city, Spider-Man ends up falling through the rusted roof of a train carriage where he encounters a young boy named Tom, who has run away from home wanting to be a hero. When Tom asks Spider-Man about being a hero, Spider-Man tells him about the time he fought Volton, the time he discovered Mysterio was behind the illusion of the Flying Dutchman, and the time he fought Kotep.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Fifty-One: Down to Earth

Down to Earth

First Aired: June 7th, 1970

Synopsis: A mysterious meteor has been seen flying towards Earth, which some people think might be created artificially by aliens due to two large antennae-like protrusions on in. J. Jonah Jameson wants photos of the meteor, and gets a tip about where the meteor is set to land - the North Pole. He sends out Peter Parker to photograph it, along with a reporter. The two fly a plane there which ends up crashing, and upon Peter coming to, he finds that the reporter has disappeared. Exiting the plane, he sees a primitive tribe with the meteor, and works out that they want to throw it into a volcano, which will cause the North Pole to explode because the meteor is radioactive.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Fifty: Specialists and Slaves

Specialists and Slaves

First Aired: May 31st, 1970

Synopsis: The villain from Swing City, now calling himself the Radiation Specialist, manages to take over a nuclear power plant. Knowing that Spider-Man might stop him, he uses a remote-controlled car to lure Spider-Man out of Manhattan with a recording which makes it seem that a hostage is inside. Once the Specialist has done so, he covers the city with radiation, which apparently makes it so that weak-willed minds can be controlled by him, and which somehow makes Manhattan float into the sky. Spider-Man reaches the car, but finds out how he's been tricked, and swings underneath Manhattan before returning to the city by crawling through a sewer pipe.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Forty-Nine: Revolt in the Fifth Dimension

Revolt in the Fifth Dimension

First Aired: It would have been May 24th, 1970, but...

Synopsis: Spider-Man is staring at stars, which transitions into space where a red, cyclopean monster is destroying planets for "daring to probe the secrets of Dimension Five!" Elsewhere, two blue-headed aliens lament the destruction and blame themselves for discovering Dimension Five, while mentioning that the villain is named Infinata. One of the aliens copies the entirety of their library onto what's essentially a spherical USB Drive, and then flies off into space to get it to safety. Infinata detects the space ship, and sends his minions out to stop it. While the alien is able to temporarily protect himself, his ship ends up crashing in New York.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Forty-Eight: Rhino / The Madness of Mysterio

Rhino

(Sorry, due to some technical issues there's no screenshot for this story.)

First Aired: May 17th, 1970

Synopsis: Spider-Man is swinging around when he sees Rhino charging into a gold depository. Rhino manages to escape with the gold, which J. Jonah Jameson later says to Peter Parker was supposed to go to Fort Knox. When Spider-Man is later riding on top of a government train, Rhino attacks that too, and steals the gold within it.

Rhino continues his robberies, stealing gold as the ship it's on arrives at the docks, and from a submarine arriving in the harbour. It turns out that he's trying to make a statue of himself with the gold. Spider-Man arrives at his hideout, and tries fighting him, but Rhino manages to get away. He hides the statue in the sewers, but Spider-Man follows him down there and anticlimatically defeats him by covering him with webbing.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Forty-Seven: Rollarama

Rollarama

First Aired: May 10th, 1970

Synopsis: After a perplexing shot of a giant ball rolling down the streets of New York, we cut to Peter Parker and his apparent girlfriend Susan, investigating an old house it apparently came from. The house apparently belonged to Doctor Karl von Glutz, who hasn't been seen for years. Susan finds a smaller version of the ball, which is pulsing, and a mysterious glowing door. Peter recognises the door as being the Glutz machine, which apparently leads to the land of crystal creation. They find a manual for it that states that von Glutz found seeds outside a cave, which expand rapidly when exposed to air. They suddenly find that the smaller version of the ball has grown, and rolled towards the army base in town - but is teetering at the edge of a precipice, not having gone down yet. Peter decides, of course, that the only thing to do is to go into the Glutz machine as Spider-Man to find a solution to the problem.

Spider-Man (1967) Episode Forty-Six: Up From Nowhere

Up From Nowhere

First Aired: May 3rd, 1970

Synopsis: In the waters outside New York, a mysterious transport appears. Inside, its green-skinned occupant, Dr. Atlantean, comments on how he'll attack New York soon for Atlantis. At university, a lecture Peter Parker is attending talks about Atlantis, and how although Atlantis was thought to have been destroyed, their technologies were likely more advanced than suspected and they may have survived to the present day. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Atlantean activates a device from his base which causes violent shaking in New York, leading to buildings cracking in half. While people panic, Dr. Atlantean demands that all authorities disband so that Atlantis can take over.
