Greg Weisman's vision for The Spectacular Spider-Man began to unfold in the series opener, "Survival of The Fittest".
Norman Osborn (Alan Rachins, ex-LA Law, Dharma & Greg) has both Adrian Toomes (Robert Englund) and Otto Octavius (Peter MacNicol, ex-Ally McBeal in his employ, until he decides to dump Toomes and claim ownership of Toomes' inventions.
That leads to the debut of the Vulture as the first foe for Spider-Man (Josh Keaton), but Spidey must also battle the Big Man's Enforcers, who have been given a bit of an upgrade in that they're also helicopter pilots. Keith David & Danny Trejo are also among the guest stars.
As Peter Parker, Spidey also narrates, something that was brought over in the next series, Ultimate Spider-Man. Co-executive producer Eric Rollman came over from Saban to work on this series, getting an EP credit with Weisman and Craig Kyle.
Rating: B.
