Spider-Man - Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. “Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous” introduces another classic Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes) villain when Doctor Octopus (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) kidnaps Felicia Hardy (Jennifer Hale), and later J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner), to further fund his research into cold fusion. Giving Doc Ock and Peter a connection from Peter’s childhood allows both Peter and Spidey to try different tactics to free Felicia. However, when it comes down to it, the mad scientist will see no reason and Spider-Man will need to take him down.

Spider-Man 2

With Sony’s rerelease each of the Spider-Man movies, we turn back to the clock two decades to 2004 and the film that set the standard for a live-action Spider-Man movie which swings back into theaters this Monday. Returning all the notable stars from the first film (including both Willem Dafoe and Cliff Robertson in a pair of questionable cameos), the sequel focuses on the toll Spider-Man has caused on Peter Parker‘s (Tobey Maguire) life.

Spider-Man

Part of Sony’s plan to rerelease each of the Spider-Man movies over a series of weeks, Spider-Man returns to theaters for the first time in over two decades. The highest grossing film of 2002 was an immediate hit with both critics and audiences spawning two sequels also starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. The origin story sticks close to the character’s comic history with the nerdy Peter being bitten by a radioactive spider and gaining new abilities he will need to learn to use responsibly.

Amazing Spider-Man #47

Amazing Spider-Man #47

Interrupted on an unexpected date, even more unexpected in that it was going so well (before running out and stiffing Shay with the bill, that is), Spider-Man crashes into action to help Betty Brandt who has gotten in more than a little trouble searching for something that can clear Ned Leeds. After taking care of the thugs, Spidey has more trouble on his hands with the arrival of an erratic Ben Reilly, now apparently calling himself Chasm (complete with questionable costume), along with Hallows’ Eve and the Queen Goblin.

Ultimate Spider-Man #3

My favorite moments of Ultimate Spider-Man #3 center around the interactions between Peter Parker and his daughter May who is the only one who knows her father’s secret. We get the pair working to keep the secret from Mary Jane and then May helping her father find the perfect look for this universe’s Spider-Man. We also get a fun little character beat with Peter discussing Spider-Man with Ben and Jonah, sticking up for the city’s new hero.
