Designs

 * Spider-Man's design during season 1, 2, and 3 is a mix of the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series (with the web pattern and back logo) and Todd McFarlane designs (with the spider eyes and the black with blue shading instead of the more recognizable blue) and exterior molded black and red web-shooters on the wrists. During Season 1 and 2, he has a blue spider logo on his back originally it was based on the Ditko logo but in Season 2 it's based on The Spectacular Spider-Man but in Season 3 and Season 4 the costume is modified and the black with blue shading becomes blue with a lighter blue as shading.The flickr user : pivote1342 did the original decal and it was later changed by benspider.
 * Doctor Octopus' design is a LEGO version of The Spectacular Spider-Man version. The flickr user : pivote1342 did the original decal and it was later changed by benspider.
 * Electro's design is based in his The Spectacular Spider-Man version.
 * Vulture design's based on his The Spectacular Spider-Man version with molded wings below his arms and with molded talons. Lego spectacular Vulture.png flickr user : pivote1342 did the original decal and it was later changed by benspider.
 * Venom design's a mix between the McFarlane version (Shape of the eyes, mouth) and the costume worn by Mac Gargan (red pupils, logo). It also has elbow-boney spikes.Venom_lego_spider-man_web_series.png
 * Kingpin's design is based on his Spider-Man: The Animated Series counterpart.Lego_kingpin_.jpeg

Easter Eggs

 * In the first episode Vulture's suit looks green due to the lighting after kdinapping grabing Norman Osborn. This is a reference to his comic book color scheme.
 * In the first episode, Harry mentions a tour of France. In the comics Norman Osborn hid there after his apparent death in The Amazing Spider-Man #122.
 * There are some references to the Disney tv show gargoyles, which was made by Greg Weinsman. In one episode an article that says that Castle Wyvern has finally been found can be seen in the bugle. Castle Wyvern is the original home of the gargoyles in the show.
 * There is a pizzeria called Romita and Junior's Pizzeria. This is a reference to John Romita Sr. and Jr., both of whom are artists who drew Spider-Man.
 * At Peter's school, there is a poster for an Arachno-Man movie directed by Ran Saimi. This is a reference to the Ultimate Spider-Man story arc "Hollywood" were a Spider-Man movie was being directed by Sam Raimi.
 * There are multiple references to the popular web series Red vs. Blue, such as in episode 2 from season 1, a criminal with a maroon headband asks one with an orange one why they were there, only for them to be interrupted by Spider-Man. This is a reference to the first line spoken in said show.
 * In the season 1 episode Drained Peter calls Electro Buzzshock and Megawatt before giving him his iconic name. Both of these names are references to the Ben 10 franchise. Buzzshock is the name of an alien and the megawatts are aliens of the same species as Buzzshock that Ben met in his early adventures. Buzzshock was also Benspider's favorite alien when he first watched the show.
 * In many Season 1, 2 ,3 and 4 episodes a long black haired man is seen drinking coffee with a skinny man and observing Spider-Man. These characters are confirmed to be both Morlun and Dex. (Note: In season 6 Morlun becomes a main villain.)
 * After first hearing of the Kingpin, Peter investigates L. Thompson Lincoln as a main suspect before being redirected to Wilson Fisk. In The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon Tombstone was used as a replacement for Fisk.
 * Interestingly after season 3 he becomes the second Kingpin.
 * During his first appearance, Tombstone calls Foswell his pal. In the comics he often called Robbie Robertson that.Lego_doc_ock_decal_o.png
