In the latest episodes of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” our hero finds himself grappling with an identity dilemma. The three-episode release, titled “Secret Identity Crisis,” “Rising to Fame,” and “The Unleashed Unicorn,” continues from where the previous episodes ended. Here, Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) learns that the new intern at Oscorp, Peter Parker (Hudson Thames), is none other than Spider-Man. Interestingly, instead of revealing this information to the authorities or causing trouble, Norman proposes to fund Peter’s alter-ego as a way to express gratitude for saving his son, Harry Osborn (Zeno Robinson). However, it doesn’t take long before even Harry realizes that the seemingly ordinary Peter harbors a secret superhero identity.
Initially hesitant, Peter eventually agrees to Norman’s proposal following a helpful act during a fight against Speed Demon (Roger Craig Smith) and Tarantula (Anairis Quinones), who were both equipped with advanced technology by Dr. Otto Octavius (Hugh Dancy). As Spider-Man is now breaking the recently passed Sokovia Accords, which require enhanced individuals to register with the government, Team Spider-Man is now fully operational.
Norman’s clandestine work unit creates a set of suits, enhanced with numerous modifications, that surpass the homemade suit of Spider-Man. These Oscorp-built and developed suits are influenced by the eight-part storyline from 1998 titled “Spider-Man: Identity Crisis,” which unfolded across issues of Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, Sensational Spider-Man, and Spectacular Spider-Man.
Following the mysterious death of Joey Z, allegedly due to a suffocating webbing substance, Spider-Man is falsely accused of his murder. At that time, Norman Osborn, who shared ownership of The Daily Bugle, issued a $5 million reward for Spider-Man’s capture. This triggered a wave of amateur bounty hunters and experienced ones like the Black Tarantula, Shotgun, and the Punisher during the four-part “Spiderhunt.
Due to concealing his identity behind a mask, Peter concluded it was best for everyone if he ceased being Spider-Man in public. To keep battling wrongdoings, he adopted several new personas: The Hornet, Ricochet, Dusk, and Prodigy.
Or,
Unable to reveal his face while wearing a mask in public, Peter made the prudent decision to retire as Spider-Man. He took on multiple new roles to continue fighting crime: The Hornet, Ricochet, Dusk, and Prodigy.
Hobie Brown, known as the Prowler, provided Spider-Man with a jet pack (an auto-gyro) which he utilized to soar through the skies as the Hornet, featured in Sensational Spider-Man issue #27. However, when his cover was exposed by the Vulture, he assumed the identities of the nimble athlete Ricochet in Amazing Spider-Man issue #434 and the enigmatic and dramatic Dusk in Spider-Man issue #90.
In the end, Mary Jane, Peter’s wife, bestowed upon him a fourth alter ego: Prodigy. Dressed in golden armor, this fresh character stepped into the limelight in Spectacular Spider-Man issue #257. Peter used a false nose and gold facial paint to depict an old-fashioned hero with a good heart.
In issue #435 of The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker juggled his four distinct personas as he swiftly switched costumes on the fly during a fight with villains Bloodscream and Roughouse. When he discovered that the Trapster’s sticky substance was involved in framing Spider-Man for Joey Z’s murder, he chose to use his popular Prodigy persona to clear Spider-Man’s name publicly before retiring the identity. Spider-Man reappeared in his red and blue suit once more in Spectacular Spider-Man issue #258.
However, Hornet, Ricochet, Dusk, and Prodigy didn’t meet their final fate. Instead, a legendary superhero from the Golden Age, Daniel Lyons, also known as the Black Marvel, struck a deal with Mephisto. This led to the creation of an unconventional team: a group of teenagers – Eddie McDonough (Hornet), Johnny Gallo (Ricochet), Cassie St. Commons (Dusk), and Ritchie Gilmore (Prodigy) – collectively known as the Slingers.
Every Wednesday up until February 19th, new episodes from the series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” can be streamed weekly on Disney+.
