Spider-man: The Animated Series, 108 (Apr. 29, 1995) - “The Alien Costume, Part One”

Teleplay by: Len Wein, Meg Mclaughlin, Stan Berkowitz, & John Semper Jr. Story By: Avi Arad Directed by: Bob Richardson

The Breakdown

It’s the story of the century!  Beloved Astronaut John Jameson (nice-guy-son of major-dickweed J. Jonah Jameson) is undergoing an exploratory mission of some asteroid that happened to be passing by.  John discovers a fancy black rock embedded in the asteroid’s surface, that seeps a black ooze after being pried loose (whaddaya wanna bet that’s going to be important later on?). Unfortunately for our boy, his actions somehow trigger a volcanic response, which is nonsense, but it gives john a reason to escape back to his shuttle with the rock and hurry the plot along, so I’m all for it.

The rock is, in fact, a newly discovered super-powerful radioactive mineral called “promethium X”, but it’s predominantly a McGuffin for Wilson Fisk (aka the Kingpin) to cause trouble over.  But none of that really matters, because the main attraction was always the introduction of…. RHINO!  Oh, and possibly Venom’s backstory for those of you who are into obscure niche characters. Speaking of which…

Back on the shuttle, the goo starts attacking John and his partner, JUST as they’re re-entering earth’s atmosphere (which is admittedly not ideal).  Capable dude that he is, John succeeds  resist the goo’s attempt to envelop him, just long enough to make an emergency crash landing on the George Washington bridge which has been completely-evacuated-and-no-one-died.

Enter Peter/Spidey, who shows up to help rescue the astronauts from the wreckage, although not without incident, because Rhino shows up to steal the promethium X for Fisk.  The ensuing fight does not go well for Spider-man, but thankfully Rhino doesn’t have time get lethal, since Fisk is eager to  retrieve his prize (to be fair, Rhino does seem like the sort of guy who could get easily sidetracked).  Without an active opponent, Spidey has just enough time to rescue John and his partner (the goo being nowhere in sight), before getting dragged off the bridge and into the river with the teetering space shuttle.  Spider-man swims to safety handily enough, but his suit is covered in a black substance that he mistakes for pollution.  Gosh, I wonder if it’s the alien goo from the space shuttle?

Predictably, yes it is.

That night, the goo jumps off Pete’s spider-suit and attaches itself to him.  After waking up from a freaky (but VERY metaphorically relevant) dream, Peter finds himself hanging upside down from a web (not unlike how like a spider can), and what’s more, sporting a sharp new black ‘n white spider-themed suit.  An impromptu test run reveals that the suit not only looks totally fucking SICK, but also amplifies his superpowers (plus the ability to generate it’s own webbing); additionally it can also morph into any other clothing Peter wants simply by reading his thoughts. Neat! No need to consider the horrifying ramifications of THAT any further! In spite of how alarmed he almost certainly should be, Pete ultimately takes everything in stride once the initial shock wears off, quickly brandishing a newfound (and curiously aggressive) confidence.

But there isn’t any time to bask in this new development since the Rhino is still at large, and he’s doing some more crime for Fisk in regard to that whole Promethium X thing.  Armed with his new black suit, Spidey sets out to confront Rhino, and this time he completely dominates a little TOO well.  In fact, as the fight progresses, Spider-man begins employing tactics that could be seen as excessive.  Just as our hero is about to administer a killing blow, he snaps out of his bloodlust, and leaves before doing something he can’t take back.  Shortly thereafter, Spider-man reflects on how close he came to taking a life, and is left to wonder if something is… happening to him?  Oh yeah, a there’s also a flash of lighting that symbolically alters Spider-man’s reflection into that of Venom, which does seem fairly ominous, but it's anyone’s guess as to how that could be relevant.

Guess we’ll have to wait for answers though, because…

TO BE CONTINUED!

The Verdict 

This story arch was one of my favourites back in the day, which is in no small part due to the symbiote.  In the comics the suit stuck around as a character/element for quite a while before it became Venom, and the resulting lore that stemmed from that caught my imagination as a kid. Naturally the story had to be pared down for TV, but this show does an admirable job of reworking the complex origin of the comics, into something a little less convoluted [which includes battles on alien worlds, and a whacky mix-up with the costume-fixing-device, and I’m not even making any of that up], without outright cutting the extra-terrestrial angle. Many subsequent re-telling’s have often lean towards establishing the symbiote as a man-made-bio-suit-gone-wrong, which I personally find less interesting.

Although even as the first-of-three-chapters, there are a lot of pieces being juggled here, and while it can feel a bit rushed, you’ve gotta admire how much information is being effectively conveyed in 20 minutes of children’s programming.  I believe this was the show that introduced (or at least developed) the idea that the Symbiote causes the host to become aggressive, and it’s a story telling choice that adds some real urgency to Spider-man’s circumstances.  This is likewise an ideal story to introduce less complex characters like Rhino, who don’t particularly need a whole episode dedicated to explaining them [more on this in the ‘additional observations’ section], leaving more room to focus on Peter.

The animation quality in this episode seems improved as well, and I’m guessing it may have been afforded a slightly higher budget.  Whatever the reason, there’s some pretty strong imagery all throughout the episode, some of which even would go on to be borrowed in Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-man 3’ (for better or for worse).  At the same time, the story suffers as much as it benefits from the aforementioned-breakneck pace, and while it’s consistently entertaining, the script (as per usual on this show) tends to sprint through the emotional beats.  That’s not a condemnation of the episode though, so much as an acknowledgment of what it is, well made, chaotically imaginative escapism for children.

3.5 (out of 5) stars

Additional Observations

the Black suit is a such a great look, and may be the only variant spider-costume (at least for Peter Parker) that comes close to matching the iconography of the original red ‘n blue.  I only wish they could have extended the symbiote-saga for an entire season, but I’m sure that would have cost too much to animate, since it would have ruled out recycling character animation from previous episodes.

There’s a nice bit of foreshadowing where John is being enveloped by the Symbiote, and he screams, causing the goo to recoil. [For those who don’t know, the symbiote is famously sensitive to loud sounds] causing it to lose cohesion.  I realize it’s kind of silly that any human scream would qualify as loud enough to weaken Venom, but works nicely for a kids cartoon, as a little easter egg for young audiences to notice on repeat viewings.  And maybe John took some opera training back in the day.  You don’t know!

Promethium X: I guess the scientific-naming-committee was feeling a bit dramatic that day. The poetic imagery must have been too much for them to pass up.

Fun fact: Issue #1 of the Amazing Spider-man features a story where Spider-man tries to help John Jameson safely land his space vessel (been a while since I’ve read it, but that’s the gist).  I’m assuming that issue inspired the inclusion of John in this episode as a tactically chosen homage.

I kind of love that this show never really delves into Rhino’s deal.  He’s just kinda there, like we’re simply meant to accept him at face value, and it works like a hot damn.  I seem to recall ‘Spectacular Spider-man’ did a bit more with the character, and that entire series is gold, so I’d never discourage anyone’s attempt to tell a really great Rhino story, should it strike their fancy.  But nine-times-out-of-ten he’s just used (and functions as) a super strong guy in a military grade anthropomorphic rhino suit, and that’s also fine; He does undeniably look like a big strong Evil-Rhino-Man, after all. I have no follow up questions, and never once felt the show missed out on an opportunity to flesh out his origin.

After Prime Empire the population of catgirls in Ninjago significantly went up and honestly? good for them.

God I can't believe this. Carnival is approaching here and of course kids dress up in costumes, guess what costume have the teachers picked this year. AFRICAN TRIBES. LIKE DUDE WHAT THE FUCK YOU PIECE OF SHIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?! Oh, and that's not the worst part, THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THEM DANCE AND SING. Dance and sing african songs (I don't know which, I don't even know what tribe they want to use as a base but hell no) I can't believe it, well I can but it's still indignant. I am not black nor come from a tribe but I'm an immigrant in this country and I have faced my own little struggles regarding my cultural background and identity (obviously I can't compare with what POC have to face, this isn't about me) honestly if my culture was butchered and used like a costume I'd commit manslaughter

I just want this to be used as a reminder that culture, that traditional clothes from other places and cultures, that traditional dances and songs are NOT A COSTUME, THEY ARE NOT FOR FUN OR TO WEAR TO ONE EVENT AND EVEN LESS TO MOCK THEM.

People from all cultural backgrounds and races are more than invited to comment and state what they think (go ahead please). Make your own posts and revindicate this.

Carnival is coming

07/09/2024: Monsters.Go Julia redrawn.

Yes yes I know I was going to try and start posting a @monsters.go redraw each Monday but I only got around to Colouring it in recently. This creature was originally created by Julia.

We're gonna call our Interpretation "Lynia" (pronounced Lynn-ee-ah) she's a Botanical scientist from the Planet Azure.

Once known as the sapphire jewel in the Universe with It's Blue forests and deep blue ocean. However this Beautiful planet was ravaged by the Empire of Nemesis (E.O.N) and reduced to a Dry dust ball of a Planet.

Lynia was taken in to the G.S.O.P. where she preserves the last remaining plant species of Planet Azure and teaches others plant science so that the same events on her home world won't be repeated again!

Dabbing Aliens Take Over Halloween: Fun Costume Ideas for All Ages

Imagine a Halloween night where the unexpected meets the extraterrestrial. A peculiar figure emerges from the shadows, not a ghost or goblin, but a visitor from another world - a dabbing alien.

Buy now:19.95$

This cosmic creature stands out among the traditional trick-or-treaters. Its body is sleek and elongated, with skin that shimmers in iridescent hues of green, purple, and blue. A large, bulbous head houses enormous, almond-shaped eyes that gleam with otherworldly intelligence. Spindly fingers extend from long, slender arms, while its lower body tapers to delicate, almost wispy legs.

But what truly sets this alien apart is its pose. Instead of probing or abducting, it's frozen mid-dab. One arm stretches outward, while the other bends across its face, mimicking the popular dance move. The juxtaposition of an advanced being performing such a mundane, earthly gesture creates a comical and endearing scene.

The alien's costume - if it can be called that - incorporates classic Halloween elements. A tiny witch's hat perches precariously atop its oversized cranium, and a miniature jack-o'-lantern bucket dangles from one thin wrist, filled with an assortment of Earth candies and mysterious glowing orbs.

This dabbing alien embodies the playful spirit of Halloween, blending sci-fi with pop culture. It represents the holiday's ability to transform the strange and unfamiliar into something fun and approachable. As it dabs its way through decorated neighborhoods, it reminds us that even beings from across the galaxy can't resist the allure of Halloween hijinks.

Their faces beam with joy and mischief as they freeze mid-dab, one arm outstretched, the other bent across their faces.

These kids, ranging from elementary to early teens, wear bright, mismatched outfits that reflect their vibrant personalities. Some sport backwards caps or quirky sunglasses, adding to the playful atmosphere. Their energy is palpable, as if they've just won a game or shared an inside joke.

The scene embodies the carefree spirit of childhood, where trends like dabbing become a language of their own. It's a snapshot of pure fun, showcasing how a simple dance move can bring together boys and girls in a moment of shared, silly celebration.

Powehouse AU: aka Danny Fenton tries to be a normal college student in the midwest yet is forced to continue to be a hero in secret as ghosts won't leave him alone and soon, neither will the Justice League when he pops up as a new hero.

Additional info and art under readmore:

ANYWAYS, here is some powerhouse au information.

Danny as he grows up manages to keep the ghost situation under control to a point he isn't overly active as Phantom. He finishes highschool no problem and goes to uni over in Central City for Maths and Engineering (not an overtly big fan of the space motif and instead, I'm shoving my boy into something cooler: PLANES! He's studying specifically mechanical engineering and has plans to go to a trade school after his B.S. for A&P mechanics.)

Sam goes to Gotham State University for Ethnobotany and works in one of the unis library part time. Tucker is going to Star City College for Computer Science and a minor in archeology, he tutors part time.

Danny's main design is inspired by a combo of military and blue collar uniforms (you can also see exactly what I reference). I also couldn't decide a face mask so you get all three options.

So as Danny moves to Central City and attends uni, his rouges do sadly follow him and wreck havoc. Danny is stressed from school so he doesn't do quips as much, in fact, he's trying to get this under control as fast as possible so he can go back and study. Here's the thing, no one outside of Amityville has seen Phantom so all of the sudden what seems to be a meta? an alien? something not human? coming out and taking down rouges that, due to being ghosts, other heros struggle to contain and handle.

Speculation rises about Phantom and who he is. Danny is smart and thought this through, kinda. His costume is a modified look what he wore as a kid but he pulls in more military/uniform aspects to make it seem like he belongs to someone or some organization. That maybe somewhere in the US, an organization managed to make a hero of sorts that mimics Green Lanterns. It's just a big red herring, Danny wants them to look for someone older, probably more experienced, and a different background. Not some tired college student struggling with his studies.

Things do start to get dicey when heroes actively try to interact with him, mostly the Flash (because Central City), Superman, and the Green Lantern. Most interactions end up with Phantom not wanting to fight and fleeing or when cornered to fight, he's messy and inexperienced compared to the other heroes. He doesn't stay around and rarely even talks. It's concerning more so because the heroes aren't sure with who they're dealing with and after a few interactions, they aren't sure Phantom is on their side. Just too many questions around him.

This leads to heroes actively trying to capture and bring in Phantom. The more failed attempts that happen, the more flightly Phantom acts when they end up interrupting him capturing his rouges. They do eventually capture Phantom (thank you Superman) and that's kinda where I end on information on this AU. It's just me having fun with interactions and also designing costumes :)

ALSO DANNY IS ROMA/DIDICOY I NEED TO MENTION THAT!!! (Dick Grayson 🤝 Danny Fenton being didicoy)

Thinking about restless spirit Tony Stark who just can't move on to the after life.

The first thing he does once he realizes he's an apparition is check on Pepper and Morgan. True to their word, they're okay. He watches them for a bit but feels this deep unrest pulling him away from the quaint home he yearns for.

There's a deep wrongness within him, some unfinished business that draws him back to New York.

He fears for a moment that it's Peter- but no, it can't be him. He'll be in Massachusetts right now, attending MIT as a freshman. There isn't a doubt in Tony's mind that his little genius is already making his mark.

Still, he follows the pull of his spirit to some dingy Queens' apartment he's never been to before.

It's deep in the night yet the apartment is empty. He looks around a bit, his body phasing through anything he attempts to touch.

It's small and dirty. There's old coffee cups on the desk, alongside a couple GED manuals. Great, the universe thinks he has unfinished business with some broke high school dropout.

He's pondering how he must have screwed up this kid's life; was it the Avengers, Stark Industries? Maybe his old playboy lifestyle is finally coming to bite him in the ass.

His contemplation is cut short by the sound of the window cracking open.

It strikes Tony for a moment that maybe he's stuck on Earth to be a guardian angel, Iron Man living on as some invisible protector against whatever creep is sneaking into people's windows. It doesn't make much sense considering the whole non-corporeal thing, but he still stiffens like he's ready for a fight.

He sees a man- no, a thing? A creature maybe, or an alien. Even in death Tony can't escape being one of Earth's mightiest heroes.

The creature is shrouded in darkness, something slick and bald crawling inside the room with terrifying grace and silence. It shuts the window with a soft kssssh as the seal is formed.

And then it pulls off its mask.

There, with the click of a table lamp, glows the face of Peter Parker.

He's definitely older now; sturdier shoulders, a rugged set of his jaw, hair tamed to something semi-professional. Still present, though, are those gentle brown eyes.

Nothing makes sense right now. Why is his kid here, in this apartment? Surely May wouldn't allow this. How many tenant laws does this place break? Where are his little sidekick friends? And on what planet would Peter Parker ever need a GED?

Tony's getting angry now, watching Peter move around the tiny space. He changes out of his costume and into pajamas. That spider suit isn't Tony's suit, it looks like cheap craft store fabric.

The kid opens a small freezer and pulls out the singular bag of peas that reside in there, pressing it against his ribs while he goes to pop some bread into a toaster.

Tony takes note of every glimpse he gains into Peter's life. Empty cabinets when he reaches for a jar of peanut butter. A fridge housing nothing but condiments and energy drinks when he goes to grab jam. A drawer with two spoons, no forks, and a paring knife which he pulls out and sticks into the strawberry jam jar just as the toast pops.

This is all so wrong.

Tony's outrage is coming to a rolling boil. Peter deserves the world- he was gonna give him the world. He couldn't wait to send Peter to MIT and show him off as his protégé. Tony was gonna fund his projects, tease him about pretty girls, maybe even see him step back from Spider-Man and act like a normal college kid. He wanted to see him flourish and grow up. It was all he could think about when Peter turned to dust between his fingers; he should be goofing off with his friends at a mathletes meeting, or building Legos, not fighting an intergalactic war.

Tony couldn't even conceive how much went wrong to end up here.

Alone. Broke. No school. He didn't even have his Stark suit to protect him. Everything that made him him has been stripped, leaving him in this shallow box with scuffed paint and hollow cabinets.

Tony can feel the violent rage burn deep in his spirit as he thinks about it.

This is why he's here. He can't let his boy live like this, wasting his potential to be some villain's punching bag. Where is everyone? Does no one care enough to stop this? The fury that builds in Tony is dangerous, wondering why a dead man is the only one who cares about the teen's life right now.

Without thinking Tony's hand reaches for the GED textbook, a mocking piece of work that laughs in his face, and throws it at the stupid little kitchenette that's mere feet from the bed.

It sails across the room with surprising speed before it's met with a thunk against Peter's palm, hand reaching out to catch it from the air before it collided with the toaster.

Oh.

Peter sets the book down and immediately picks up his web shooters, eyes darting furiously to every corner of the tiny apartment.

"Who's there?"

Tony steps a little closer but Peter's eyes just look right past him.

"C'mon Pete, c'mon. I'm here, I'm right here."

Tony looks for something else to grab. He swats at a hopefully empty coffee cup on the wooden desk, but his hand just passes right through it.

"Shit," the hope Tony felt waivers slightly and he tries again.

Nothing.

Peter is searching his apartment now, making sure the window is secure and feeling around every crevice, bookshelves, under the bed, in the top corners of the room. Searching for something nefarious, tech maybe.

Tony hits the cup, again and again, frustration building up and up and up till-

The cup flies across the room, Tony and Peter's eyes track its movements as it bounces against the ground and rolls to a stop.

"Shit," Peter breathes out.

Tony walks up to Peter now, standing before him.

"Figure it out. Think kid, you've met aliens, gods, magicians, surely ghosts aren't too far fetched."

Peter closes his eyes. His posture straightens, Tony watches him take a deep breath in as the hairs on his bare arms stand on end.

Peter's eyes blink open, and they're looking directly at Tony.

Tony smirks, "that's it."

Peter turns around and picks the cup off the ground, running to his desk with it and ripping a piece of lined paper out of a notebook and scribbling furiously on it.

Tony walks over as Peter places the cup in the center of the paper.

On the left is the word YES in bold print, NO on the right.

"Okay, okay okay. So, move the cup if, if you wanna talk. Um, is there someone in the room right now?"

Tony reaches for the cup, an intense glare as his fingertips graze it gently. It shifts minutely towards the YES.

"Shit! Shit. Sorry, whew. Okay. Are you friendly?"

Tony moves it to YES again.

"Are you a, um. Person? Like not an alien?"

YES.

"Are you wearing tech, invisibility suit or your molecules are uncalibrated or maybe it's a portal thing like, multiverse shit is happening again, a mirror universe! Oh, maybe a..."

Tony let's a frustrated sign. The kid is too practical, logical. He needs to think like a non-genius.

"... could be. Or, or maybe you're just a ghost-"

Tony perks up and immediately swats the cup, causing it to fly off the desk towards the YES.

"Oh. Oh that's... kinda normal. Or maybe really weird? I mean... I certainly have some ghosts in my past."

Peter picks the cup up and puts it back on the desk.

"Do I know you?"

YES.

"You said you were friendly, and I'm not getting any danger tingles from you. I'm gonna start with people I know are dead, cuz I just really hope you're not a... new ghost. Um. M-May?"

The boy's voice cracks on the word and Tony freezes. May is dead? Tony starts to fear that things are a lot more wrong than he previously thought.

Peter's breath catches and Tony realizes he's waiting, dying for an answer, and quickly pokes the cup towards NO.

Peter's shoulders sag.

"Uncle Ben?"

NO.

"T- Mr. Stark?"

Tony grins, "now we're getting somewhere!"

YES.

Tony is going to have his work cut out for him, but being here with Peter just feels right.

Peter breaks out into a matching smile.

"Wow, okay. I think I'm gonna need more paper," he says as the boy gets to work making a more complex system than YES and NO.

Tony watches on proudly, reminiscing about all the great Peter was and all the great he still is, despite his situation. Whatever this is, they'll figure it out.

Together.
