Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. We’re back with another Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Secrets Page. Two final episodes dropped yesterday, so there’s plenty to cover. Let’s get started with the first of the two: “Hero of Menace.”

“Hero of Menace”

“117 Ratifying Countries”

Incarcerated, Doctor Otto Octavius complains about the copious spelling errors he’s found in the Sokovia Accords. He states that 117 countries supported the document and no one caught the errors. 117 countries did ratify the document in the main MCU.

Blue Fin Breakdown II

A sign at a bus stop advertises a pirate-themed movie or game, Blue Fin Breakdown II, which is most likely a nod to Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption II.

“Are You Super-Soldier Now?”

While rummaging through an Oscorp truck, Lonnie Lincoln is exposed to a chemical Otto Octavius held in his lab. This chemical grants Lonnie super strength and durable skin. He helps Spider-Man battle Gargan which makes Spider-Man question if Lonnie’s now a super soldier like Captain America. Undoubtedly, Octavius planned to replicate the Super Soldier Serum with the chemical.

Spider-Man’s Rage

After Mac Gargan seemingly kills Lonnie and threatens to kill everyone Peter loves, Peter tries to kill Gargan, only for Lonnie to stop him before the Webhead’s anger gets the best of him. This scene mirrors Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man in No Way Home, when he stops Tom Holland’s Peter Parker before he could kill Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin.

Diox-3 Confirmed

After securing Otto’s tech that the 110th Gang tried to steal, Norman confirms to Peter that only a few objects were damaged in the scuffle. A damage vial of Diox-3 is displayed on Norman’s computer screen. This is the chemical that Lonnie was exposed to during his and Spider-Man’s fight with Gargan. Diox-3 is the same chemical agent responsible for Tombstone’s abilities in the comics.

“If This Be My Destiny…”

“If This Be My Destiny…”

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episode 10’s title is a reference to the iconic Spider-Man story in the comics where Spider-Man gets trapped beneath heavy machinery and finds the strength to lift it and free himself.

21 Jump St.

After Norman Osborn accuses Doctor Strange for attacking Midtown, the Sorcerer Supreme references 21 Jump St, promising that he doesn’t go undercover at schools to then blow them up.

Doctor Strange Name Joke

During Spider-Man’s team-up with Doctor Strange, Spider-Man opens with a classic gag about the good Doctor’s name. After the Sorcerer Supreme tells the Web-Slinger that he’s “Strange,” Spider-Man replies that he’s no more strange than the gooey alien trying to kill them. The MCU uses this joke more than once.

Dark Dimension

Spider-Man accidentally enters the portal Doctor Strange intends to open for the symbiote. The pair go into the Dark Dimension (first seen in 2016’s Doctor Strange) which is Dormammu’s domain.

A Hive of Symbiotes

While Spider-Man and Doctor Strange attempt to return the alien symbiote to its home in space, a massive hive of multiple symbiote heads appear, suggesting that the original symbiote may have come from Klyntar, the home world of the symbiotes in the comics. Kylntar is also a prison for Knull the Symbiote God.

“You Gotta Go Home, Man!”

This is the same line Miles Morales says to Peter B. Parker in Into the Spider-Verse when Miles sends Peter B. Parker back to his home universe so he can patch things up with Mary Jane.

Uatu is Watching

After their battle with the symbiote, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange talk about how the timeline was altered, and Spider-Man asks Doctor Strange about the future. Spidey wants to know what to expect. Doctor Strange tells him he can’t tell Spider-Man the future, but he believes he’s ready. This moment shows how far Spider-Man has come, and for a moment, viewers can see Uatu the Watcher observing this key moment in this alternate MCU timeline.

Harry Osborn’s List and WEB

After Nico encourages Harry to start his own company for Peter and his fellow interns, Harry launches the Worldwide Engineering Brigade, part of the Spider-Man’s Webslingers ride at Disney Parks’ Avengers Campus. Harry’s list of people he intends to invite are some familiar names. Besides the characters introduced earlier in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, many crucial names from across the Marvel Universe can be found: Ned Leeds (Spidey’s best friend in the MCU), Max Dillion (Electro), Tiberius Stone (Viastone CEO), Ripley Ryan (Star), Kiden Nixon, and more.

Nico’s Magic

Near the end of “If This Be My Destinty…,” Nico Minoru powers up her magical amulet to converse with her mother who’s a sorceress in the comics. This teases Nico’s future as a magical superhero like she is in the comics and Marvel’s live-action series Runaways.

Finesse and Daredevil

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man reveals that Jean Foucault is already Finesse and has been working undercover for Daredevil to investigate Norman Osborn. She agrees to keep tabs on Harry by joining WEB, which is a tease that Daredevil will be seen in future seasons of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Tombstone’s Appearance

Lonnie Lincolon’s fingers begin to turn gray, a sign that Diox-3 is having the same effects on him as his comics counterpart. Tombstone’s strength and durability come at a price. Eventually, Lonnie will have gray skin and white hair.

Richard Parker

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’s big reveal at the end of season 1 is that Richard Parker is alive and imprisoned. While we don’t know why he’s in prison or if Peter Parker knows his father is alive. Richard was a spy in the original comics and in Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man movies. He used to work for Oscorp as a scientist. This could be huge for the second season of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

That’s all we have for now. Thank you for reading, and wherever you are, I hope you’re having a great day.
