Spectacular Spider-Man Voice Actor Recites Heartbreaking Comics Monologue
screenrant.comThe Spectacular Spider-Man voice actor Josh Keaton delivers one of the comics' most iconic Peter Parker monologues. Spider-Man is the superhero mantle taken on by teenager Peter Parker, who develops superpowers when he is bitten by a radioactive spider. The character, who is inspired to fight crime by the death of his beloved Uncle Ben, which he could have prevented, originally debuted in Marvel Comics' Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962. Over the years, the web-slinger and his rogue's gallery of villains, which includes Green Goblin, Vulture, Sandman, and many more, have become one of the most enduring and iconic Marvel franchises, even to the point of having been adapted into three different Spider-Man film continuities in the past 20 years.
The franchise has expanded far beyond comics and films, however, and includes several different animated series as well. One of these is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which aired on The CW and Disney XD for two seasons and 26 total episodes beginning in 2008. The series takes place during Peter's high school years and has episodes themed after different lessons, including Chemistry 101 and Drama 101. In addition to Keaton, the show also starred Daran Norris as J. Jonah Jameson, Vanessa Marshall as Mary Jane Watson, Joshua LeBar as Flash Thompson, Alanna Ubach as Liz Allan, Clancy Brown as Rhino, and Lacey Chabert as Gwen Stacy.
