Another great episode that feels like a "back to basics" plot after all the global threats of the Doctor Doom episodes. It features the Chameleon, who was actually the very first masked supervillain Spider-Man ever fought in the comics.
In this episode, the Chameleon meets a relative of the burglar who killed Peter's uncle Ben and gives almost the complete backstory of how Spider-Man came to be and how he learned that from great power comes great responsibility.
The Chameleon plots a very vile plan in which he uses Aunt May's loss over Uncle Ben to lure Spidey into a trap. Granted, the presentation of the Chameleon's plan is pretty stupid with an amulet that hypnotizes May but in its core, the plot works for what it is and is very human.
