The 90’s Spider-Man swings into Web-Warriors! Relive his classic adventures, and discover whether or not he’ll be enough to help defeat the Master Planner!
The 90’s Spider-Man animated series is my favorite Spider-Man show. So I was more than excited to bring him into the Web-Warriors. The show ran for 4 seasons, so there was a lot of content to pick from when choosing the story to tell and references to make. So here’s a breakdown of everything from the video.
The Theme Song
All of Spider-Man’s theme songs are instant classics. This one is no different. Everyone recognizes the Spider blood! Spider blood! Radioactive spider blood! I had no choice but to put it in this episode, by cleverly disgusting it as Miles’ latest banger!

Framed
The 90’s Spider-Man mentions that he teamed up with Daredevil to beat Kingpin and clear his name. This is because Richard Fisk framed Peter for espionage, and Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, had to help him out of the situation, as both his lawyer and partner in crime-fighting!

Blade
The 90’s series featured Spider-Man teaming up with many Marvel heroes, including the vampire hunter Blade. When Morbius began terrorizing New York, the Daywalker stepped in to handle matters himself. While they were at odds at first, Spider-Man and Blade ended up working together to stop Blade’s mother, the Vampire Queen.

The Original Spider-Verse
This was our first glimpse at the Spider-Verse! Peter teamed up with several Spidey’s from alternate dimensions, including the Tony Stark-like Spider-Armor Spider-Man, Ben Reilly, a Spider-Man that had kept Doc Ock’s tentacles, the six-armed Spider-Man, and an actor from the real world, that introduced him to Stan Lee!

The Secret Wars
This show adapted the popular Secret Wars comic, but since this is Spidey’s show, they centered the whole thing around him as the leader. He went against the Beyonder with several of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including the Fantastic 4, Captain America, Iron Man, and Storm!

Worst Enemy
Pay attention to Spidey’s words. He asks who is the most relentless, unforgiving opponent the 90’s Spider-Man has ever faced. You may remember that those are the exact words he used after he finally won his fight against Venom. Also, if that image of Venom holding an unmasked Spider-Man in a web net looks familiar, that’s because I lifted it right from the episode!

The Green Goblin
Peter’s fight with Green Goblin in this show was in lieu of the infamous Gwen Stacy death, since the show wasn’t allowed to do that. Mary Jane instead fell through a portal created by the Time Dilation Accelerator. As a matter of fact, whenever anyone “died” in that show, they usually fell through a portal.

Spider-Carnage
Remember that aforementioned OG Spider-Verse? Well, Madame Web assembled them, put Spider-Man through the Secret Wars, and trained him that whole time to prepare him for that one fight. Because Spider-Man’s clone, driven insane and bonded with the Carnage Symbiote, nearly destroyed the entire Multiverse!

Electro
Max Dillion never made it into the animated series. Instead Electro was Red Skull’s doomsday weapon, a being that could manipulate energy, given form by his son. Yeah, sometimes the 90’s got real out there.

Spider-Sense
The Spider-Sense in the 90’s series is one of the most distinct and instantly recognizable versions of Spidey’s sixth sense for danger. So I definitely wanted to include it somehow, and I couldn’t do it in the fight because Venom is invisible to it! So I just had it go off before Madame Web took him. Good compromise I think!

Finding Mary Jane
As I mentioned earlier, Mary Jane was lost to the cosmos. She seemingly came back for a while, but that turned out to be a clone created with Hydro Man’s genetics by Miles Warren, who eventually, well, evaporated. But at the very end of the show, Madame Web and Spider-Man set off through the Multiverse find the real Mary Jane. Unfortunately, the show got cancelled, and we never figured out if they found her. Until now that is!

That’s it for this one True Believers. I’m happy that I finally got to do a video featuring the 90’s Spider-Man. It was so fun bringing to life all of the many great memories I have of that show. And like any of the other Web-Warriors, this is definitely not the last you’ve seen of him! Until then, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

So I’m not great with Black Panther in the Avengers game. But I was doing pretty good with him last night. Was. Past tense.

When Spidey needs to acquire precious Tritium to recreate the power of the sun, he and OG turn to Otto Octavius. Unfortunately, the duo might get more tentacles than they signed up for!
Easter Eggs
Doctor Kafka
Doctor Ashley Kafka is a psychiatrist at the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane. She’s been a character in Spider-Man comics for years, and has had several on-screen appearances. So when I decided to throw Otto in Ravencroft for rehabilitation, it was none the than Dr. Kafka who was assigned to treat him. Voiced by my wonderful mother Kensala Smith-Westbrook, who is in school to get her psychology degree! Way to go mom!

Olivia Octavius
Gwen brings up the pain-in-the-butt Dr. Olivia Octavius, who True Believers will remember as the female Doc Ock from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Since she did construct the original Super Collider for Kingpin, it only makes sense that she’d have cliff notes on the schematics, right?

Tritium
Precious Tritium is the fuel that makes this project go. The rare element, of which Doc Ock states there is only 25 pounds of on the planet, is what he used to ignite his fusion reactor in Spider-Man 2.

The Power of the Sun
Hey, that’s the name of the episode! Yes, True Believers, you all remember the famous line from Doc Ock, that was repeated very recently in Spider-Man: No Way Home. “The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.” Geez, that’s all Doc Ock really wants! Someone just give the man his sun power!

Peter Speaks Spanish
Scorpion seems quite puzzled when he discovers that Spidey can speak Spanish. If you think back to Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter catches Delmar’s comment about Aunt May, then replies with a snarky comeback about his daughter. He’s not perfect at it though, it’s stated multiple times in Homecoming that he’s still taking a Spanish class, and in a deleted scene in Far From Home, Delmar has to help him remember how to say ‘dual headphone adaptor’.

OG lines
Were you paying attention? OG drops some lines from Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies. “Where do all these guys come from?” Then there was “Trying to do better” and “No, not exactly.” Did you spot anymore? Let me know!

Bully Maguire
Tobey Maguire has basically become a meme across the internet known as “Bully Maguire”. Most of the dialogue in Bully Maguire videos comes from his time in the black suit, but there is an instance when poor Tobey was being harassed by some idiot paparazzi that were flashing cameras in his face and blocking his car in. Tobey, rightfully so, got upset and told them to get out of the way, that there were cars there and he couldn’t see. I just thought I’d squeeze that moment in the video as a little bit of Bully Maguire fun!

You’ve got a Train to Catch
Probably the most famous scene in Spider-Man 2 is when Spider-Man stopped that train. So how could I not pay homage to this moment in OG’s premiere episode! And honestly, what better way to stop a truck from falling off a bridge, am I right?

Hello Peter
As probably the most famous line in recent Spider-Man history, I feel like I don’t need to explain this one. I’m just really happy I got to include it in here!

Superhero Landings
I’m still not sure how much we want to fool with spoilers, but if these poses look familiar, that was intentional. That’s all I’ll say on that.

Spider-Man 2: The Game
There were plenty of lines to choose from Doc Ock’s dialogue in the Spider-Man 2 video game. I restrained myself and chose my favorite: “What? Hit him again? What an excellent idea!”
Here are some I could have chosen: “This is fitting vengeance for my poor Rosie!”, “You! Will! Die!”, “I will laugh over your broken corpse!”, “Fight me! Stand! And! Fight me!”, “I’m gonna kill her you know.”, “Miserable creature!”
Yeah… Doc Ock was pretty intense in that game…

Blindfolded Fight
Nobody can forget that horrific hospital scene from Spider-Man 2! (A lot of things in the Raimi Trilogy made more sense when I figured out he was a horror director). I thought it was insane that Doc Ock took out a room full of doctors not only unconscious, but blindfolded! So I had that moment where Spider-Man webs his glasses and Doc Ock still overpowers them! Also, you know, Spider-Man always webs Doc Ock’s glasses.

The Chrysler Building
As we know, OG likes to go to the Chrysler Building to clear his head. We saw it in Spider-Man 1, the movie and the game, and it was mentioned by him later on. So when figuring out how to end the video, I decided to use a beautiful shot (if I do say so myself) of him up on the eagle statue, over the traditional yellow-tinted city (Which is actually a Spider-Man movie poster I had). With that classic Danny Elfman score behind it, oh my goodness. I almost made myself cry with that one!

That’s it for this episode! Man, this one took a lot! A midair fight!? Come on! What did you think? What was Spider-Man 2099 trying to tell Peter? And why is Dr. Kafka working for the Master Planner! So many questions! Stay tuned, you’ll get your answers! Maybe… And I know a lot of you have been looking forward to the next episode featuring Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis: Venom! I can’t wait! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

One lonely night, while I was playing Marvel’s Avengers, I took Spider-Man for a stroll through the calm, evening atmosphere of the Chimera Helicarrier. I settled down by a window, overlooking the clouds, the low hum of the turbines echoing in my mind. I thought, “This is nice view” as I slowly drifted to sleep. For half an hour. With the game on. Yeah… anyways, it worked for me, so maybe it’ll work for you! Sweet dreams True Believers!

The Story
Way back in 2007 when Spider-Man 3 was coming out, there was a contest called “Face of the Fan”. Spider-Man fans across the world had to submit a video explaining why they were Spidey fans, and the two winners would go on to become the official spokespeople for promotional videos before the movie’s release. I remembering entering, not winning, then being envious of the guy and girl that did win. Yes, the marketing campaign for Spider-Man 3 was a fun one.
Now, I’m not just going on a trip down memory lane here. I, Joshua Westbrook, am bringing Face of the Fan back! Face Front style! (And yes, I considered calling it Face Front of the Fan.

Joshua Westbrook – Stan Lee Signed Copy of Amazing Fantasy #15

Amazing Fantasy #15 is Spider-Man’s first appearance in comic book history, releasing in August of 1962. I pulled this copy of the comic out of a ToyBiz Marvel Legends action figure, and my friend Kyle got it signed by none other than the man who wrote it, Stan Lee!
BigJSpider (YouTube) – Marvel Legends Spider-Man Upgraded Suit

This is my favourite item in my collection because it’s an action figure of one of my favourite Tom Holland Spider-Man suits from Spider-Man: No Way Home, my favourite movie.
Poke (Twitter) – Spider-Man Figure Collection

These are my most prized Spider-Man items.
Lewis Nestman – Face of the Future

This young fan sure has a cute face! And though he grew out of his marvel onesies he still enjoys his books, toys, shirt, and socks…but his hulk socks seem to be missing.
Eileen Nestman (YouTube) – Agent Carter-Verse

In an unforgiving world that wants you to pick between two equally bad options I stand with Peggy and create my own path because I know my value.
Amahl Dunbar – Iron Banner


I’ve been painting some action figures to post to social media for Halloween & movie premieres like Cap: Brave New World. I bought a Spawn figure & painted him to look like a Hulk Buster/ Hulk variant. For now, I call him ‘Iron Banner.’

Spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home below…
Well, it’s a good thing that Tobey’s Spider-Man got stabbed in No Way Home.
And not Andrew.
Because we all know the Amazing Spider-Man’s weakness…
It’s small knives.


Written by Joshua Westbrook

Face Front! It’s 2022 and I’m sitting here at dang near 3:00 am just thinking about how much my little blog has grown! Well, mostly my YouTube channel, heck, 90% of my fanbase will probably never see this, but you know what, that’s okay! I haven’t put much emphasis on the ‘blog’ part of ‘Face Front Blog’. Hopefully I can change that!
I am so thankful for all of the new Mighty Marvelites I could reach this past year with my Return to the Spider-Verse series, and I hope to reach many more. To tell more stories. Interact with more fans. Build a bigger community. Remember Face Front’s mission statement:
“There was an idea. To bring together a group of the biggest Marvel fans. So that when the world was sick and tired of hearing them blab on and on about Marvel, they could come and talk about it with real fans in a way they never could before. On that day, Face Front was born.”
I want Face Front to be that place for you True Believers. Believe it or not, the most fun I’ve had with this blog since its inception were my livestreams last year! Because I had finally built a big enough audience to have a conversation with! Just me, and a bunch of you guys, talking Marvel. I love it. I want more of it.
So here’s to 2022 bringing us all closer together. Fans, from every corner of the globe, talking about the one thing we all love more than any other thing in the world: Marvel. I’m excited, I’m dedicated, and I’m ready. Are you?
I hope to hear from you all! Sound off in the comments below, or on Face Front’s Twitter, Insta, Facebook, YouTube, heck, I’ve got TikTok now! Anywhere your voice can be heard, I wanna hear it. Loud and proud. Let’s make this year the most Marvelous one yet! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Close out the 10th Anniversary of Miles Morales with the next installment of Web-Warriors! While Spidey is gone, Miles takes up the responsibility of finding the next candidate for the Web-Warriors. Little does he know that he’s about to come face-to-face with another Miles Morales!
I wanted to close the year with a tribute to Miles since this is his 10th Anniversary. In a previous video, I laid out my history with the character. I feel close to him, and I was all too proud to make a video where Miles meets Miles! In a world where we’ve seen several versions of Peter Parker interact, I thought it would be unique to see what Miles thinks of himself from another universe!
This being the Gamerverse Miles Morales, of course I included several little Easter eggs that anyone who has played the game will surely pick up on!
Nuform
Miles states that he saved the city from an unstable Nuform reactor. Fans of the game will recognize this as the dangerous substance being exploited by Simon Krieger to power Roxxon Plaza. Before that particular reactor exploded, Miles was able to absorb the energy and release it high above the city.

The Tinkerer
Miles’s friend Phin Mason was Insomniac Games’ version of the terrible Tinkerer. With high-tech weapons and an army of followers called the Underground at her disposal, the Tinkerer wrecked havoc on Harlem in an all-out war with Roxxon. Luckily, as stated in the video, Miles was able to stop her, though it cost him his friend.

Chase of Goose
In the first Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 game, there were some levels where you played as Miles before he had his Spidey-powers. One of these was a terrifying game of hide-and-seek with the Rhino! Rhino, annoyed that he couldn’t find you (if you were good at the game) stated that he hated the “chase of goose”. So in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, I guess Miles remembered this because he brought it up to rile up Rhino, just like in the video!

Harlem
Yes, traditionally Miles is from Brooklyn. But in the game, after his father died in the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Rio moved herself and Miles back to her hometown of Harlem. Miles was a bit uncomfortable with the move at first, but as time went on, he came to love, and protect, his new home.

Teo’s Bodega
Along with Harlem came a supporting cast of residents that by the end of the game were referring to Miles as “our Spider-Man”, as he states in the video. Teo is one of these residents, and he has a cat. Named Spider-Man the Cat. Which made for a very fun alternate costume for those of you who have unlocked it in the game.

Well, that’s it for me True Believers! More Web-Warriors will be coming in the new year, as well as new episodes of Return to the Spider-Verse. Until then, happy 10th Anniversary to Miles Morales! I can’t believe he’s been around for so long! It feels like just yesterday I picked up Ultimate Fallout #4 off the shelf! So what’d you guys think of the video? Who else do you want to see in Web-Warriors? Let me know below, and until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Spidey and Ghost-Spider return to Gwen’s home to fix her dimension watch. But everything changes when Ghost-Spider’s past starts to haunt her!
Voice Talent
Eileen Nestman as Ghost-Spider
As always, Eileen Nestman lent her voice to Ghost-Spider. But unlike every other episode, this one revolved around her character. I told her she needed to bring it. And she brought it. I actually felt tears well up when she was mourning the death of Peter. I felt the rage from her primal screams as an enraged Gwen attacked Doppelgänger. Her monologues left me with chills!
I’ve known Eileen since we were 12, and I’m so glad we’ve remained friends. I find it hard to imagine anyone else doing the job with Ghost-Spider that Eileen has done, and she is a valued member of the Face Front team. Please make sure to check her out on YouTube or Instagram @eileen.wuthrich!
Laura Henson as Mary Jane
Gwen’s friend and leader of the Mary Janes, Em Jay (it’s spelled like that in the comics, back off) was essential to have in this episode. The problem I had is that, as we know, Eileen is in Idaho, and the conversations between Gwen and Em Jay had to feel authentic and natural. So I needed someone located where she is. Luckily, Eileen recruited Laura, and she was more than happy to oblige! With her help, I got the Gwen and Em Jay interactions I was looking for!
Emily Tatsumi as Peni Parker
In Episode 1: Amazing Friends, Peni had a line of dialogue. I used Google translate and recorded the voice. I did what I could, and it was passable, but I knew that if Peni was going to continue to be a part of the team, especially with her upcoming episode, I’d need a better solution. Enter Emily Tatsumi.
Emily is a friend that not only speaks fluent Japanese, but also did voice acting as a child! I’m honored that she accepted my request to bring Peni Parker to life. Make sure to check Emily out on Instagram @emi_tsumi!
Props and Sets
And as if Eileen doesn’t do enough for Face Front, she very recently had the idea to build sets for the show! This includes Peter B.’s comfy new couch, and the tech lab at Midtown High! I love how intricate and detailed they are. And Eileen including a green screen in the lab makes it so that I can add more dynamic screens, and I will defiantly be using this technique in future videos. Look for everything she sent me in an upcoming TikTok video. I’m on TikTok now. In case you didn’t know, @facefrontblog.


Easter Eggs
Let’s Start at the Beginning
The intro to the video is word for word what Gwen says in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse when she introduces herself to Peter and Miles. I just put my own images on it, including this comic cover!

Amazing Fantasy
And speaking of the intro, does the picture of Gwen saving Captain Stacy look familiar? Look at it. Look at it real close.


Rent?
Yes, I included a scene where OG is having trouble fixing a door. I think this one goes without much explaining.

Private Donor
Many Marvel fans know Cindy Moon as the web-slinging superhero Silk! But on Gwen’s world, Earth-65, she’s much more sinister. She never got spider powers, but almost did. Envious at what she was potentially missing, she founded a secret organization, S.I.L.K., and spent years researching how to give herself powers. There was a whole story involving Gwen, 616 Silk, and Jessica Drew that ultimately ended with Gwen losing her powers! So it’s safe to assume that, in this video, the research Cindy requested that Gwen forgot, has to do with her ultimate goal: Becoming a spider-powered menace!

Corn Dogs
To cheer up her best friend, Gwen suggests that the two get corn dogs. Peter notes that she has a weird thing for them, which comes directly from the comics. For whatever reason Gwen simply LOVES corn dogs!

Bodega Bandit
Ghost-Spider’s arch-nemesis is the Bodega Bandit! He constantly robs the Dollar Dog of their corn dog collection with his pet hamster Pine Cone! Ghost-Spider is no match for the persistent Bodega Bandit!

The Mary Janes
The Mary Janes is the band Gwen drums for named after their leader Em Jay (again, it’s spelled like that in the comics, back off). The “Betty and Glory” that Gwen mentions are the Earth-65 versions of Betty Brant and Glory Grant, who are also members of the band. The song that Gwen and Em Jay are singing, Face it Tiger, is actually a song they sang in the comics that Marvel made real! More about that in the soundtrack portion.

You Can’t Trick Me Anymore
As we saw in Spider-Man: Far From Home, when Peter confronts Mysterio on the Tower Bridge, he finally regains his Peter Tingle (though Spectacular has since convinced him to call it “Spider-Sense”) and fights through Beck’s illusions, stating that he can’t trick him anymore. I kept Peter’s immunity to Beck’s tricks for this fight, to make it more dynamic, basically taking place in the real world from Peter’s point of view, and Mysterio’s world from Gwen’s.

Doppelgänger
An evil, mindless duplicate of Spider-Man infused with supernatural energy by the Demogoblin. Aka, a really scary version of Spider-Man that would fit in Mysterio’s backwards nightmare world. Honestly, I’m glad I found a way to integrate this rather unique character into my video!

What’s Up With Madripoor?
Gwen states that she learned to speak Japanese by spending some time in Madripoor. Marvel fans know that the iconic location has recently appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which is why Peter notes that Sam told him about it. But in the Spider-Gwen comics (not Ghost-Spider, I know what I’m talking about) Gwen spent a significant amount of time there fighting ninjas. And Wolverine. Is it that far fetched to assume that she picked up some Japanese while she was there?

Goblin Gas
Did you know that the Green Goblin once invented a gas that suppressed Spider-Man’s Spider-Sense? Well, he did. It was not fun for Peter. And if you stayed for the post-credits scene, which you definitely should have, then you’ll know that he’s done just that at the end of this video. Needless to say, it probably won’t be fun for Peter. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

The Soundtrack
For this video, I chose to use more vocal songs than I usually do, but that’s because the Marvel Rising cartoon, which Gwen was quite heavily associated with, had such a great selection! Also To the End and Face it Tiger were must-haves! More info below!
To the End- Elliphant
This epic song played in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse during Gwen’s intro. And since I mimicked it word-for-word here in my video, it only made sense to include the actual song that played! Points for authenticity!
Roaring Thunder- Navia Robinson
I played this when Gwen and Peter were hanging out together because it’s about the strength of friends when they stick together, as powerful as roaring thunder. This made it perfect for the scene where Gwen promises Peter they’ll be friends forever. A great selection from Marvel Rising!
Face it Tiger- The Mary Janes
As I mentioned earlier, in an incredible feat of cross promotional prowess, Marvel actually created the song that had only been printed on paper. Being that this is the only Mary Janes hit in the real world, it was a no-brainer to include it as the song Gwen and Em Jay were singing for band practice.
Team- Tova
I put this song here because Gwen and Peter are finally on the same page and can now work even better as a team! Another Marvel Rising hit!
Watch Me Rise- Photronique, Shari Short
This episode was always going to end with this song. It was used in Marvel Rising, but has such a perfect message about rising above adversity. Seeing Gwen sitting on the roof, as opposed to earlier where Ghost-Spider had to climb up to it, was meant to represent how much she’s grown now that she has accepted her friends as her strength. And this song was perfect.
That’s it for now True Believers! This episode is basically 30 minutes long! Wow! And to think I initially intended this to be a series of short 10-minute-long videos lol! The more of these I make, the more I improve, and the better stories I can bring to you guys. Once again, I do this for you. Thank you so much for all of your support.
The next episode is one I’m sure many people have been waiting for, OG is stepping into the spotlight to battle Doc Ock! Now I know No Way Home is literally days away, but just know that I’m gonna stick to my intended story, no matter how the movie shakes out. I might use a quote or two if I think they’re cool though. I’m looking forward to it, but first, let me know what you guys think of this one! Sound off below, until then, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
