Hit-Monkey - Akiko

Akiko (Olivia Munn) finally catches up to Hit-Monkey in her self-titled episode but is unable to get her revenge.

Also of note, the episode fills in some origin stories for members of the Collective and Iris (Cristin Milioti) begins a new career cleaning up crime scenes.

Spider-Man - The Alien Costume

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. The three-parter introduces the alien symbiote (here found on the moon by astronauts in search of precious elements), gives us Spider-Man‘s (Christopher Daniel Barnes) run in the costume, and plays out one of the series’ long-running threads in the creation of Venom (Hank Azaria). The arc also gives us a pair of Spidey villains in the Rhino (Don Stark) and the Shocker (Jim Cummings), both working for the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Brown) in retrieving the valuable moon rock which J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) wrongly believes Spider-Man stole.
