Episode #5 - Swarm Written By: Dennis Marx Music Composed By: John Douglas Guest Starring: Al Fann as Swarm Review: There�s some pretty weird stuff going on in this episode, gentle readers. If this was any decade but the 80�s, I�d imagine a story about your heroes fighting a man made of bees who controls other bees would�ve been immediately dismissed, but nope, it�s all good here. Swarm is probably one of the show�s most baffling episodes and is filled with illogical storytelling and daft scenarios. This isn�t the problem, however. The problem is that the episode is really, really tedious. The thing I found most interesting about the episode was Spider-Man fighting his friends. It�s always cool to see the heroes battle each other, even if it�s not exactly an original idea anymore. There was no doubt that Spider-Man is the undisputed star of the show but they never really deliberately put down either Firestar or Iceman in an attempt to prove Spidey�s superiority. Swarm was an utterly retarded villain, with a really silly origin. The fact he did little other than shout his own name over and over again, and was eventually foiled by a nonsensical conclusion made this character one worth forgetting. The jokes here aren�t really worth a full paragraph either. Swarm isn�t anything worth setting the VCR for, there are a lot better episodes to be found in this show. Screenshots:
