Spider-Man

Answer: Yes. Many things that would have been in the sixth season would have had Norman Osborne returning from limbo and reclaiming the title of the Green Goblin, Richard Fisk, the son of "The Kingpin" Wilson Fisk would return as a crime lord known as "The Rose", Ghost Rider would have appeared to help Spider-Man stop Dormammu from returning to Earth and Madame Web and Spider-Man would rescue Mary Jane from limbo.

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.

Question: Why does Herbert Landon hate mutants so much? Why is he so prejudiced towards them?

Answer: Like many regular humans, he considers them to be a mistake of nature, and probably also considers them to be a threat to both the safety and future of mankind.

Question: Why were animators constantly repeating footage throughout the entire series? For me, this method was totally nonsensical because it led to numerous continuity errors. For example, in the episode "Enter the Punisher," Spider-Man lacked his extra arms in one shot because the footage was used from a different episode. Why were animators doing this?

Answer: It saves money. Animation is costly and time-consuming. A low-budget show can cut costs by reusing existing footage. They likely assumed or hoped a young audience didn't notice or care.

Answer: He's neither. In the comics he was an albino who later was mutated to give his superhuman strength. He filed his teeth into points as a way to scare others. In this Spider-Man cartoon, his physical appearance, including his teeth, and strength was the result of falling into chemicals at the plant. However, he never died as a result of falling into the chemicals, some only thought he had died.

Bishop73

Answer: Neither, he is just chemically altered and gained some superpowers as a result.
