A young man with spider-like abilities fights crime as a superhero in New York City while trying to have a normal personal life.
The villain Puma was supposed to appear on the show. Story editor John Semper mentioned in an online interview the character was not used because they had simply ran out of new episodes to produce for "Spider-Man".
Tombstone:
Come down here and fight like a man!
Spider-Man:
I don't suppose I could convince you to come up here and fight like a spider.
The end credits are shown over rough sketches of the characters.
Syndicated versions of the pilot episode, "Night of the Lizard", omit a sequence in which the Lizard accidentally slams into his wife with his tail when turning.
