Flash Thompson
Voice: Patrick Labyorteaux
First Appearance: The Spider Slayers

Peter Parker's main rival from high school, and then university, Flash would bully Parker out of jealousy, often taking it too far. This nearly cost him his life after he dressed up as Spider-Man, his favorite hero, and warned Parker to stop taking pictures. After he was mistaken for the real Spider-Man, he was kidnapped by The Black Widow, one of Spencer Smythe's Spider Slayers. Spider-Man eventually saved him.

After trying to date Felicia Hardy, he later discovered that he had the attention of another girl, Debra Whitman. He became ill after having his plasma drained by Morbius, and feared for Debra's safety. He and Debra later helped The Black Cat and Spider-Man return Dr. Crawford back into her human form, which strenghtened and sealed the relationship between he and Debra.
