Spider Wars, Chapter 1: I Really, Really Hate Clones - S5-E12

Character mistake: When the group of Spider-Men are breaking into the Kingpin's building through the front door, Octo-Spidey uses a laser to cut a circle in the door and then proceeds to tear the door off its hinges with his robotic arms. Since he was just able to simply tear the door off, there was no need for him to cut the hole in the door in the first place. It's not like he needed to reach through the hole with one of the arms to unlock it from the other side.

Spider-Man: Subtetly is not your strong point, is it?
Wolverine: Hey, can't even spell the word.

Trivia: Around the same time this show was airing, James Cameron was in the midst of developing a Spider-Man film which would have featured Sandman and Electro as the villains. Due to this plan, Sandman never appeared on this show despite being a prominent member of Spidey's rogue's gallery. Electro eventually made an appearance in the show's final season once it was determined that Cameron's film would never come to fruition, though the Electro that appeared on this show was a bastardized version of his comics counterpart.

Answer: In the comics, Hobgoblin's true identity was kept a mystery for a long time intentionally and while many fans deduced it was Kingsley, and creator Roger Stern was leaning that way, Stern left the series in 1984. In 1987 Hobgoblin's identity was revealed to be Ned Leeds and then Macendale became Hobgoblin. It wasn't until 1997 that Sterns wrote the mini-series "Hobgoblin Lives" and retconned Kingsley as the original Hobgoblin.

Answer: I could be wrong, but I believe the Hobgoblin in Marvel Comics around the same time this show was airing was also Jason Macendale. I have a Hobgoblin trading card from around 1992 or 1993, and it identifies him as Jason Phillips Macendale when listing his real name.
