Season 1
The episodes of season 1 are named idiosyncratically, in a manner that every 3 episodes are named after concepts from a certain field of science: The first 3 episodes are named after notions in Evolutionary Theory, the next 3 are named after ones in Capitalism, the following 3 are terms in Chemistry and Physics, while the final 4 are notions in Sociology and Psychology.
- Survival of the Fittest- Summer is over for Peter Parker and school's ready to start -- both literally (it's his junior year of high school), and in the real world of crime-fighting -- as Spider-Man faces his first real challenge (The Enforcers) and his first real super-villain (Vulture).
- Interactions - Peter Parker attempts to tutor the popular Liz Allan while Spider-Man tries to stop the newly formed Electro who searches for a cure.
- Natural Selection Peter Parker and Spider-Man both must learn to own their choices when decisions made by Dr. Curt Connors transform Pete's mentor into The Lizard.
- Market Forces While Peter takes on the responsibility of helping Aunt May pay the bills, Montana - the Big Man's Enforcer- becomes the stunning Shocker to fulfill his responsibility: eliminating Spider-Man.
- CompetitionAs Peter Parker and Harry Osborn try out for the football team, Spider-Man must face convict Flint Marko, newly transformed into the Sandman in order to destroy Spider-Man.
- The Invisible Hand Peter Parker struggles to get a date for the Fall Formal, and to figure out a way to pay for it. Meanwhile, the unstoppable Rhino – the latest of the Big Man's creations – has sworn vengeance on Spider-Man. Spidey takes the battle directly to the source of his troubles, the previously invisible hand, who has been secretly conducting his villain-of-the-week attacks. But the Big Man offers a surprising solution to Spidey's problems, a tempting offer he doesn't think our hero can afford to refuse. Will Spidey do the right thing?
- Catalysts On the night of the Midtown High Fall Formal, Peter Parker finds his overconfidence is nearly his undoing – as both a teenager and a superhero. While his date, Mary Jane Watson, threatens to invert Midtown's social structure, Peter begins to enjoy the night. So when the mysterious and murderous Green Goblin tries to force L. Thompson Lincoln (a.k.a. Tombstone) to step down as NYC's Big Man of crime, will Spider-Man be able to take this new threat seriously enough – or will he be so cocky that he loses his big head?!
- Reaction Peter Parker and Spider-Man learn that actions have consequences when nebbishy Dr. Otto Octavius becomes the megalomaniacal Doctor Octopus. The cause: Green Goblin; the effect: Mayhem!
- The Uncertainty Principle As Colonel John Jameson struggles to land his damaged space shuttle, Spider-Man struggles to defeat the Green Goblin, who also threatens Hammerhead and Tombstone. But Peter Parker's biggest challenge will be facing the truth when he finally learns the Goblin's "true" identity.
- Persona Courtesy of an alien life form called a Symbiote. Spider-Man begins to wear a black costume while he is framed when another Spider-Man starts making robberies in New York. However, the imposter was actually the Chameleon, a criminal who uses various disguises and it is up to the webslinger to team up with the cat burglar known as the Black Cat to stop his new enemy's crime spree and clear his name but the Black Cat has other ideas.
- Group Therapy With Electro's help, Doctor Octopus breaks himself, Vulture, Sandman, Rhino and Shocker out of Ryker's Island prison to quench their mutual thirst for revenge. Even with his new black alien suit, Spider-Man finds his old enemies, now called the Sinister Six, are more than he can handle.
- Intervention With his Aunt May in a hospital and his friendship with Eddie Brock ruined, Peter finally gains enough self-awareness to realize the alien Symbiote is starting to take over his mind and turning him more aggressive. Creating a battleground in Peter's own mind and memories from his past, Peter must defeat the symbiote before it can take full control of his mind and face the repercussions.
- Nature vs. Nurture Peter begins to celebrate Thanksgiving as his Aunt May is released from the hospital. Eddie Brock (transformed into the vicious Venom by the alien Symbiote) repeatedly stalks Peter and threatens to destroy who Peter loves (Which Peter thinks is Mary Jane, but Eddie means Gwen). However, it is up to Spider-Man to defeat this new arch-nemesis. At the very end of the episode, Gwen shows her emotions towards Peter by giving him a kiss in which Peter realizes how much he cares for her.
