Spidey battles Electro, who has framed Spidey for his robberies.

Review and Media by Stu
A very basic Electro is introduced here in slightly above average episode. I've always had a soft spot for Electro, a villain who�s never really had a great time making it to the small screen despite the number of times it's happened.

His design is a little too simplistic for my liking, which is a great shame. Although he looks like a complete and utter tool in the comics, I've always had a fondness for the green and yellow electric suit, for reasons even I am yet to learn. His voice is a little too on the camp side for my liking, but that could be said for a lot of the villains.

The plot once again sees Spider-Man framed for a robbery he didn't commit. It's been done in this series too many times, and it�s been done better.
