Episode #24 - Tablet of Time
Original Airdate - November 18, 1995

The legendary Toltec Tablet of Time is discovered in Mexico and shipped to New York for study in Doctor Connors' laboratory. The tablet is subsequently stolen by the crime lord Silvermane who wants to use the tablet to regain his youth. Not only is the tablet gone; they've got Doc! Spidey is desperate to rescue him -- since he still needs his Neogenic Recombinator dose every 24 hours...

Review:

This is where the Neogenic Nightmare started dragging. The episode started off well enough, we knew what the tablet could do, and we knew who wanted it and we saw Spider-Man stopping them, specifically Hammerhead, getting it.

Soon afterwards, once Smythe got a hold of the Tablet, the whole story became a mess. Silvermane kidnapping Margaret Conners and Spider-Man fighting The Lizard wasn’t exactly needed. It soon became a huge case of everyone kidnapping everyone. This episode introduced Tombstone, as Silvermane's lackey but other than that, its not up to much. At least it was better than part 2.

It was a trying arc, one which I personally couldn’t wait to end. Silvermane's quest for his youth back was pretty dull, and the supporting cast weren’t up to much. It was nice seeing Vanessa Fisk, but it started out well and fell from there.
