The
Final Nightmare
Episode #27 - The Final Nightmare The shocking conclusion to the "Neogenic Nightmare" storyline!! Spider-Man seeks Curt Connors aid to help reverse the aging effects of the Vulture's talons. The Vulture meanwhile sporadically turns into the man-spider from the mutagenics he absorbed with Spidey's youth. At the same time, the Scorpion grabs Dr. Farley Stillwell to seek a cure for his own mutation. With Doc Connors caught in the middle, feeling the onset of his own his reptilian transformation, will everyone be cured in time for Peter to meet up with Mary Jane as she confronts her wayward father? Review: Well, after a full season long story, it came to this, the final chapter of The Neogenic Nightmare. It was certainly a surprising one, specifically the scene where The Vulture attacks Osborn, only to become the Man Spider; he learned that when he absorbed Spider-Man’s youth, he also took his disease. As with most of the season finales, this one was overrun with characters. The Scorpion and Farley Stillwell where added to the mix and Conners became The Lizard again. Scorpion wasn’t really needed, and his story here could’ve easily been translated into another episode on it’s own. The resolution of his disease was not something one could’ve predicted, but it worked well and made an interesting follows up in Partners, when we saw The Vulture again. The subplot with Mary Jane and her Father was a confusing one; she disappeared within seconds of turning around the corner. For a cliff-hanger we had to wait months for, well…it could’ve been done better. Other than that, this episode was a great finish to a daring and unique storyline. Screenshots:
