Review: Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriors “The Spider-Verse: Part Four”

Spoilers Below

We’re back in Spider-Man’s time setting just in time to see The Goblin switch on a machine that gives him the combined powers of the other six Spider-Pals in which he stole DNA from.

The Goblin gets charged long enough before Spider-Man destroys the machine to ascertain a lot of Spidey’s Powers from all of the different classes of Spider-Man. This combination turns the Goblin into an official ‘Spider-Goblin’. To get help, Spider-Man finds an imprisoned Electro who agrees to help Spidey bring in reinforcements in the forms of all of the Spideys from the different universes…The Web Warriors HERE! WE! GO!

At first, the Spideys get in each others’ way, but soon they come together and pin down The Goblin and with Electro’s powers are able to reverse the mutation so that The Goblin reverts all the way back to Norman Osborn. But, Electro comes alive and turns their building into a huge robot that now threatens to destroy all of the Spideys.

The Spideys team up and lure Electro out of the robot body which allows Spidey to kick his ass all the while Spider-Girl and Spider-Ham sneak inside to set its coordinates to outer space. With a little juice left in whatever it was that sent Spidey through all of the dimensions, and return the Web-Warriors back from whence they came. The episode concludes with Spider-Man giving Nick Fury a debrief.

Our Take

And just like that, Ultimate Spider-Man may have won me over. It may not still due to a lot of the backstories and character designs being shit, but one can not deny the stellar action scenes for tonight’s episode. The fight with Spidey-Goblin was really, really well-done, and to throw in an Electro-powered robot is just the icing on the cake. How anyone managed to give this much screen time to THIS many Spideys, is a miracle in it of itself and should be applauded.

I loved the Norman Osborn return to normal scene, and it actually asks a lot of questions about the future of where that arc could have gone. Compelling stuff to say the least. And yes, Donald Glover should be in The Avengers 2.
