As
Spider-Man tries to stop the Shocker from escaping an attempted robbery,
Aunt May gets harmed in the effort. That night while May is in the
hospital, Peter tells Bobby and Angelica how he feels responsible for the
accident because Aunt May (who thinks Spider-Man is bad) was fleeing from
him. He thinks he should give up being Spider-Man. But when asked
why he became Spider-Man in the first place, Peter reaffirms his original
principle for becoming a crime-fighter. So the Spider-Friends set out to
stop the Shocker's crime spree. The villain seems unstoppable until Spidey
realizes that the Shocker's power comes from his costume. The Spider-Friends
destroy the costume and Spider-Man ends up saving the day, even in the
opinion of Aunt May.

In flashback: Uncle Ben, Flash
 x1.
NBC wanted an episode dealing with Spider-Man's origin but did not want
Uncle Ben's death included as part of it. Writer Donald F. Glut said
that Stan Lee "stuck to his guns" and insisted that it be part of the episode.
All finally agreed that it would be acceptable for Uncle Ben's death to
be implied instead of stated.
2. Japanese cartoon fans
will recognize 'Joe' from Gatchaman (wearing his familiar 'No. 2'
t-shirt) during Peter's wrestling match. Also note another fan wearing
the 'Gatchaman' symbol on his shirt in the same crowd.
