Trivia[]
- His version of the Spider Sense has been well liked by fans for years, due to being the only version to not use the squiggly lines on his head. The negative flashing lights gave off the sense of dread and apprehension that Spidey felt when the Spider Sense went off.
- While Man-Spider, his heroic nature was still present; despite his reasoning ability being diminished. He kept tracking Morbius and wanted to be with his loved ones, only to run away when he realized that he wasn't human anymore.
- Keeping in mind he was exposed to mutative radiation when curing Dr. Conners and bonded on an almost cellular level with the symbiote briefly, it makes sense his DNA would have gotten shaken up. Which would explain why his powers briefly faded and his eventually mutation into Man-Spider; the balance between his natural human DNA and the extra arachnid DNA was unstable and trying to correct themselves..
