Spider-Man: Web-Warriors Episode 6: Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man | 60 Years of Spider-Man
End Spider-Man’s 60th Anniversary with a special episode of Web-Warriors! Starring the very first Spidey to ever sling a web: The Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man! Relive the origin story that created a hero 60 years strong!
2022 marks the 60-Year Anniversary for everyone’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Being as such, I thought it would be the ultimate tribute to close the year with a Web-Warriors that harkens back to where it all began for Spider-Man.
Just like last year with Miles, this special Web-Warriors is a love letter to all things Peter Parker! And not only is this his 60th Anniversary, but as of Christmas, this is my 20th year of being a Spider-Man fan.
Spider-Man has meant so much to me over these past 2 decades, and to the world for the past 6. The minute Hasbro announced the Amazing Fantasy figure, I’ve had this video in mind. To not only retell the timeless origin in my image, but to encapsulate the many iterations of Spider-Man over the past 60 years.
I’m so happy I had enough episodes of Return to the Spider-Verse to do a montage that featured everyone. From big screen iterations to alternate comic universes, TV shows to video games, Spider-Man has touched every corner of entertainment, and this video is a reminder and celebration of that.
No real Easter eggs other than the fact that I used the number 60 as many times as possible (LOL). So I’ll leave you with this: With great power, there must also come great responsibility. Words to live by, and ever since I saw that first movie with Tobey Maguire in 2002, I’ve tried to do just that.
With that, Spider-Man’s Beyond Amazing 60th year comes to close. Face Front, True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Saved by Greed! How I Almost Doomed My YouTube Channel!
I know what you’re thinking, the title is crazy! How did greed save me? And how was my entire YouTube channel almost doomed? Well, True Believers, sit down and let me tell you the story!
There I was, working innocently on Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse Episode 9: Leap of Faith (Available Now!), filming the fight at the Super Collider between Peter, Miles, and Prowler. This was the first thing I filmed for this episode, mind you. I get to the part where Miles hits Prowler with his Venom blast, and I’m thinking I’ll creative. Dangerous thought, True Believers!
I took the Widow Bite effect from the Black Widow deluxe figure because I thought it would look like Miles’ Venom Blast around his hand. It did, but it wasn’t fitting on there quite right. So, like any sane person that takes care of their collectibles, I forced his fist into the socket through the Widow effect!
After the (perfect) shot, I removed Miles’ fist, as I have done a million times before, but this time, the fist was pulled free of the loop connecting it to the peg! For those who aren’t familiar with Marvel Legends, let me explain. The hand is connected to a peg that inserts into the arm of the figure. But the hand and peg are connected with a loop on the end of the peg that goes into a little rod on the wrist, allowing wrist movement for the figure. This break has only happened to one other figure in my collection, Gwenpool, as demonstrated in the pic below.
What happens is the rod at on the wrist breaks on one end and the loop slides out. What you have to do to fix it is kind of pull the wrist and the rod apart and get the loop back in. Two problems with that though: Firstly, I’m a nearly 30-year-old man with big clompy hands, and these parts are tiny. Like, TINY! It is very, very difficult to re-loop that peg. And secondly, once it’s broken like that, that’s it. Because every time you want to switch hands (which I do often in my videos), the wrist is gonna pull out of the peg and you have to go through the tedious reconnecting process again.
So, I was understandably frustrated, because I still had the entire dang video to shoot, and Miles was the star of this one. So I (painstakingly) got the loop rethreaded and stuck his fist back in. I got as many scenes shot as I could before I had to swap hands again. Inevitably, the time had come. But when I tried, the unthinkable happened! The loop pulled the whole dang rod off of the wrist!
I was done for. Any fix I thought of wasn’t feasible. The rod, completely separated, was sooo tiny (I almost lost it, like, ten times). Handling it was dang-near impossible. I didn’t want to super glue it back in because then I’d lose the wrist articulation. So my only option was to get a new fist.
Now, finding a specific part for a Marvel Legends figure can either be very, very easy, or very, very difficult. The left fist of an out-of-circulation Miles Morales figure that’s not cheap on the aftermarket leans toward the latter. I reached out to my Marvel Legends Facebook groups. No bites. I saw one sales post with a bunch of fodder pieces and asked if he had what I needed. And he did… not. He had Miles’ right fist. Like, really universe? What did I actually do to you?
Ebay was useless, they gave me results for every Miles Morales thing except what I was looking for. In desperation, I turned to Mercari. I was hoping, praying I could find something! I searched “Marvel Legends Miles Morales” and scrolled until I came across the seller that saved me: A man named Greed.
He sells Marvel Legends parts and pieces, and I came across a post that had both of Miles’ web-slinging hands… and his left fist! Overjoyed, I purchased it immediately! Greed shipped fast and within two days, I was able to continue production on episode 9! So please, if you’re in the need for a part, piece, or parcel, make Greed’s shop your first stop!
My YouTube channel was nearly doomed! With Return to the Spider-Verse being my most popular content, and Episode 9 being hotly anticipated, postponing it indefinitely was simply not an option! My fans would have revolted! Unsubscribed en masse! I’m sure of it! Okay, maybe not, you guys are great, but honestly, I had been hyping Episode 9 as being close to finished, building anticipation. It would have really sucked if I had to come out with an apology video and asked you guys to wait EVEN LONGER for the next episode.
So that’s the story guys, Greed saved my YouTube channel, and by extension, Face Front! You all can thank him for Episode 9! Again, Click Here to visit his shop if you need replacement pieces for your Marvel Legends. And Click Here to check out Episode 9! That’s it for now, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse Episode 9: Leap of Faith
To stop the Master Planner, Spidey and Miles Morales team up to track down his Uncle Aaron, aka the Prowler. But things are about to get a lot more complicated once they find him!
First of all, a big shout out to Sara Pezel, who returned to voice Black Cat once again! We first heard her amazing voice work back in Episode 3, and I was very grateful that she was more than happy to come back. Everyone go ahead and give her a follow on Twitter @sarapezel! You know, if Twitter is still alive when you read this lol.
And of course, as always Eileen Nestman provided Gwen with her voice, I once again used several of the handcrafted sets and props she mad for me! Check her out on YouTube or follow her on Instagram!
And now, you know what time it is: Easter Egg time! That’s right, I really packed ’em in on this one, so let’s get to it!
The Puma
Yes, there is a walking, talking Puma that happens to be a Spider-Man villain. He’s a mercenary for hire who’s bite is definitely worse than his bark!
Comic Text
One unique aspect of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was the feeling that a comic book came to life on the screen, which was evident with the big “LOOK OUT” when Miles’ Spider-Sense first went off, or the “Play Dumb” captions, both of which I decided to incorporate.
Mister Criminal
You guys remember Spider-Man: Homecoming, right? Where Donald Glover played Aaron Davis, aka the Prowler! And mentioned he had a nephew? Yep, Miles in the MCU! That was also the scene where Spidey used interrogation mode, which happened almost word for word in the video. Prowler being a variant and all, it’s no surprise that Spidey had the same result.
Odessa Drake and the Thieves Guild
A more recent addition to the Spider-Man mythos, Odessa Drake is the fearless leader of the New York division of the Thieves Guild. They steal stuff. Like, a lot of stuff. I thought it’d be fun to name drop her, and maybe save her for a future appearance! (Hear that Hasbro? We need an Odessa Drake figure!)
Brooklyn 42
During Felicia’s plan (Which is in the form of a comic book, like Peter B’s plan to break into Alchemax from the film) the authenticator says the code is 42 in this hypothetical situation. Fans know that 42 is the number on the back of the spider that bit Miles in the movie and the comics!
Also during Felicia’s plan, if you listen closely you’ll hear Miles shout “Brooklyn” Like he did in the film, and Spidey says “Hey everyone” like in Captain America: Civil War!
Not a Problem
Black Cat mentions that seducing a female wouldn’t be a problem for her, because in the comics she’s actually bisexual! She even had a little fling with the aforementioned Odessa Drake!
Bruno and Dr. Korpse
Black Cat mentions her best guys Bruno and Dr. Korpse. They’re Cat’s crew, the muscle and brainiac. They joined her in her most recent solo run, but they go way back to Black Cat’s first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #194 in 1979!
The Big Man
Tombstone wants to use the Siege Perilous to become the Big Man of crime. That is what he was called in The Spectacular Spider-Man, where Tombstone was essentially a de facto Kingpin. He was actually the Big Man!
Ultimate Spider-Man
Notice the code to Tombstone’s briefcase? 2-0-1-1. That’s because Miles Morales debuted in 2011, in the pages of Ultimate Fallout #4!
Gods Don’t Have to Choose
Remember Norman’s speech from No Way Home? You know the one. Since in the Face Front Universe, the events of No Way Home never happened, this is the first time Peter’s hearing that speech, and coming face to face with Norman Osborn.
Just Like Me
In the comics, Miles had an epic fight with Uncle Aaron that ended with his gauntlets exploding, causing his death. With his final words, he told Miles he was just like him, haunting Miles for several issues afterwards. I thought it’d be a good scene to incorporate in this vid.
The Ledge!
Hey! Remember that one time Uncle Aaron fell off a ledge!? Okay, that one wasn’t intentional, but I came across it looking for a pic for the previous Easter Egg and I was like “Hey, that happened in my video too!”
Generous Proposal
Did you stick around for the post credits scene? Why not!? Why are people still leaving before the post credits scene!?! (I actually saw people walking out of Wakanda Forever. It’s been 14 years people!) Anyways, if you did, then thank you, and you’ll notice some familiar dialogue. Green Goblin offering a generous proposal, like from the first Raimi Spider-Man flick. Also that “Now you’re getting into the spirit of things” line is from the movie video game, if you wanna get really sweaty about it.
That’s all for this one True Believers. This one took a lot work, so I really hope you guys appreciate it. It’s also the longest vid at nearly 40 minutes long! And that’s after I trimmed it down! These things were supposed to be 5-10 minutes long. Yeah, big LOL there. But you know I do this for you guys, so spread the love, show your friends, and as always, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Introducing Marvel Vs.
Hey there True Believers! I know you guys love the Spider-Verse vids, and I thank you for watching them so much! As Face Front grows I want to start trying different forms of content. This led me to Marvel Vs.
Marvel Vs. is a comedy sketch series pitting Marvel heroes and villains from across the universe against each other in a more hilarious rather than epic battle.
Of course the Face Front Originals, including Spider-Verse, will still have that rich story and pulse pounding action you’ve come to expect from Face Front, but those take a while to make, so I hope that while you wait for those you can get a laugh out of this new series!
The first episode, Spider-Man vs. The Lizard, is available now! Click Here to watch it. Let me know who you wanna see fight in the next one!
Thank you guys, Face Front, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Doctor Strange: Battle on Bleecker Street *Now in Black and White*
That’s right True Believers! Battle on Bleecker Street is back for a 3rd time! But can you blame me? After watching the Marvel Studios Special Presentation Werewolf By Night, I couldn’t help myself! Especially since two characters from that flick, Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing, are in this video! So go ahead, dive into the spooky season and watch Doctor Strange: Battle on Bleecker Street again! But this time in black and white!
But hey! There are a couple of changes. First off, did you notice the new Face Front intro? Yeah, technically this is the first video I’ve used it in! It was introduced in the “This is Face Front” video, which you can see on the newly reformatted About page.
Also the Nico Minoru credit has been updated with the actresses new name, Ashley Cazier.
And yes, this is the Remastered version of Battle on Bleecker Street and not the horrible original version that I never want to see again!
Alright then True Believers, what’d you think? Did your opinion change with it being in black and white? Or if this is your first time seeing it, how’d you like it? Let me know below. As always, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
