“So let me get this straight… just so we got this whole thing clear and laid out you’re not an EVO that might’ve been transferred to some dimension or one we missed after me and my friends cured the entire world… but you’re a man… well you’re probably 3 years older than me who was bitten by a radioactive spider and your some sort of Cross-Species Human mutate and you call yourself… The Human Spider?”
“Well that was one of the names I had working on but Spider-Man sounded right.”
“This is New York but not my New York”
“Everything’s different.”
“Midtown High, ESU, and Queens and Forest Hills are all there but not everything else that I know. Nobody i knew who is gonna be able to help me and a few of my craziest and worst enemies get back home.”
“Come on. How many are we talking here?”
“Possibly six.”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
“Better make that 13.”
“So what do say?”
“Hello wackos. Now thrill us!”
THE BIGGEST CROSSOVER YOU ALL NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE IS COMING!

Nostalgic Pit Stop: Tri-Spider Slayer!
Rewatching Spider-man: TAS after all these years reminded me of the old catalogue ads for the show's toy line. I was thrilled just to get a Spidey figure, but what I would have given to own all three Spider-Slayers is probably better left unsaid. Sadly (for my younger self) the closest I would get to these larger accessories would be in an aisle of the local Toys R’ Us, but the dream will always live on.

The Cabal (Earth-4339)
Here’s another part of the Oliverse I’ve been working on: the twisted versions of its heroes and villains known simply as The Cabal.
This version of The Cabal reside in the dystopian universe of Earth-4339, a dark parrallel universe to the Oliverse created by an catastrophic event known as the “Midtown Massacre” that took the lives of several innocent civilains and heroes in New York, spurring the Oliver Osnick of this universe, corrupted by a powerful relic called the Siege Perilous, to prevent any criminal or terrorist activity before it happens. A goal he plans to see through with the aid of his Perennial Army (Symbiote/Cybernetic-Hybrids) and his inner circle of those who either agree his views or side with him out of fear for their survival.
Members of the Cabal:
Oliver Osnick/Cadaverous
Jane Lane/Blight
Peter Parker/Carnage
Charlotte Witter/Spider-Slayer
Quentin Beck/Mysterio
Elias Wirtham/Supercharger
Lily Hollister/Demogoblin

Spider-man: The Animated Series, 103 (Feb. 11, 1995) - “Return of the Spider Slayers”
The Breakdown
Spider-man is out for some light web-swinging when he’s suddenly attacked by the Black Widow Spider Slayer, which is particularly odd since it was destroyed last episode. Alas, Alistair Smythe has built a new "Widow" to avenge his father, in addition to a second Spider-robot modeled after a Tarantula (I do appreciate variation on a theme). The two Spider Slayers quickly overpower and apprehend Spidey, and transport him back to Smythe’s lab. J. Jonah Jameson is summoned to witness Spider-man’s final defeat, but Smythe turns on him too, and straps a bomb to both men's wrists with a one-hour countdown! Since there’s NO POSSIBLE way Spider-man could cause any problems with so little time left, Alistair sets the two men free (bomb still attached of course), but not before explaining that he’s sending his Spider-Robots to kill Flash Thompson, Eddie Brock, and Norman Osborn (he blames all these guys for his father’s death).
With only an hour to kill before he explodes, Spider-man promptly gets to work tracking down the anti-spidey-bots, saving both Flash and Eddie, in addition to cutting Jonah free from their mutual-wrist-bomb (courtesy of the Black Widow's standard issue mandible lasers). Meanwhile Smythe has just sent a third Slayer (shaped like a Scorpion this time, so you know it's BADASS) to Kill Norman Osborn, only for it to be subsequently joined by the other two robots, so they can all combine into one MEGA-Spider-Slayer (which is obviously totally rad). Since bigger is unquestionably badder, Spider-man finally takes a moment to remove the bomb from his wrist so he can use it to blow up the Tri-Slayer once and for all.
Epilogue – Wilson Fisk (who became Smythe’s evil benefactor in exchange for Spider-man’s death) is pretty choked that Smythe failed, and reminds the young scientist/inventor that he will never be free until the wall-crawler is dead. Meanwhile Peter Parker must finally relent to Aunt May’s wishes and meet up with their neighbour’s niece, Mary Jane, for a blind date. Peter is dreading the meeting until he greets MJ at the door, where he discovers she’s a total hottie! What a relief, and not-at-all shallow!
The Verdict
This entire episode is basically one massive fight, with most of the secondary storylines merely sprinkled in to remind the audience that they’re still a thing. Eddie Brock is still mad at Spider-man, Norman Osborn is still a shifty dude, Jonah is still a crusty fuck, Wilson Fisk is still busy Kingpin-ing all of his crime. I’m not suggesting any of this is a failing, ‘Return of the Spider Slayers’ is still pretty fun and accomplishes what it sets out to do; there’s just not much to it, and that’s perfectly fine.
3 stars (out of 5)
Additional Observations.
Alistair Smythe is given a lab at the top level of Wilson Fisk’s tower, which has a rather conspicuous giant door to accommodate the slayer-robots. Admittedly it’s probably ideal as a headquarters for evil scheming, but I have to wonder what all the citizens below think about the building that regularly dispatches killer robots through the secret draw-bridge-style-door.
Wouldn’t three independent Spider-Slayers be more of a threat? I realize that as a kid I thought this was the coolest thing ever, but even back then I recall thinking that combining all the robots into one would just make a bigger and slower target. Keep in mind that each of the Slayers are independently capable of flight, and Spidey only had the one bomb.
I will NOT, however, bother to question why the bots are all designed to look like arachnids (instead of just a drone or even just quadruped). Sometimes aesthetic awesomeness is reason enough. Even a supervillain needs to express their artistic voice.
Pete figures out a science-y way to freeze and shatter the metal bracelet welded to the bomb. Narrative convenience aside, I always appreciate it when the writers remember to show that his intelligence and education are as vital to him as his powers.
Peter Parker, Player: Three episodes in and Pete is already juggling Felicia Hardy AND Mary-Jane Watson! I guess when you keep ditching your dates to fight supervillains you need to keep your options open.
