LEGO Spider-Man: Torment

LEGO Spider-Man: Torment is a web series created by Max Carroll. It is the first sequel to Carroll's previous series, LEGO Spider-Man: Irresponsible. Unlike Irresponsible, Torment is set during Peter Parker's college years, and has a greater focus on Parker's struggle to maintain his personal life while acting as a vigilante, all while he is tangled in an organized crime plot enacted by the villainous Kingpin. The various influences for Torment come from the Stan Lee/John Romita Sr., David Micheline/Todd McFarlane, and J. Michael Straczynski/John Romita Jr. runs on The Amazing Spider-Man, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film trilogy, and the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. The series is notable for introducing iconic Spider-Man villains, such as the Kingpin, the Sandman, and the Rhino, and supporting characters, such as J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, Joseph Robertson, and Ned Leeds, who weren't present in Irresponsible. The series also features appearances from Daredevil, Black Cat, and the Fantastic Four.

Torment was followed by LEGO Spider-Man: The Final Chapter.
