Also, in a previous post, someone asked about your thoughts on the Crimemaster, and you responded, "I do not not like him." (or something like that - not verbatim.)
Was this a typo, meant as "I do not like him." or did you intentionally use the double-negative?
Intentional use of double negative.
Hi, again, Greg!
Just wondering: Why is it that so many characters are all in the same bio class? Clearly Midtown doesn't separate its grades as much as mine does, but shouldn't Peter and Gwen and Sha Shan at least be in an advanced class, without Flash and Liz? And didn't they already Bio last year? 'Cause if so, shouldn't they be taking a different science now?
It probably doesn't matter (and I wonder if anyone else ever even noticed), but I was just wondering.
Thanks in advance!
It's advanced bio, a class designed to be taken by Juniors. Flash and Liz are taking it ... and doing poorly. Pete and Gwen are taking it ... and doing very well. Sally's taking it, and it's not clear how she's doing. Sha Shan has clearly skipped ahead to take it. (She'd normally be a year too young.) We assume she's doing well, but not as well as Pete and Gwen, though given the fact that she's a sophomore, I'm sure her work is still impressive.
You'll notice that neither Kenny and Rand (both seniors) nor Hobie (a sophomore) is in the class. Neither is Tiny, though he's a junior too. (Obviously, not the type to even try and get by in that class.)
In any case, we tried to be consistent.

So, I've recently been debating Norman's mental state. Specifically his sanity or lack thereof. Mostly because I've seen a couple of individuals saying that you gave Norman Osborn Roderick Kingsley's personality. Norman was insane, Roderick was stone cold sane.
Naturally, I disagree with them. Sure, Norman doesn't come out and say he's insane. He even says he's in control. But don't most of those suffering from insanity and megalomania feel that way?
Psychopaths lack empathy and guilt, are egocentric and impulsive, and do not conform to social, moral and legal norms. They may appear to be quite normal and often even charming, a state of adaptation that psychiatrist Hervey Cleckley named the "mask of sanity".
Or, as Gobby himself said, "We all wear masks, Spider-Man. But which is real? The one that hides your face or the one that IS your face?"
That's how I see Norman. Your Norman as well. And while we haven't seen much of Kingsley yet (and I'm not asking for spoilers on plans for him), I am sure that they're both very, very different people. Just as different as they were in the comic books.
*** END SPOILERS ***
I agree they're different.
I feel Norman's more of a sociopath than a psychopath, but maybe I'm splitting hairs.
In a question i asked about using tombstone you answered "Have you seen Tombstone?"
Yes, I have of course i have i seen every episode like 30 times, and i love him i was just wandering why, my only reson was fosswell couldn't fight spidey and tombstone has the kinda muscle and speed, agility, etc. so that's why you used him, but seriously don't get me wrong he's one of my favorite characters in your show...maybe 6 or 7 in the top ten
Okay...

In this picture. Eddie has a case/prosthetic limb. Why was it like that and what made you change your mind to make him normal/perfect condition.
Curt Connors has a prosthetic limb, not Eddie. We never intended for Eddie to have a prosthetic anything.
At what point would you say Stacy deduced Spidey's identity?
I always figured his "I know who you are, Pete" at the end of the Master Planner arc as having a double meaning. I can't decide if he knew during Thanksgiving dinner, it seems like it could go either way. But while he had certainly been studying him prior to "Persona," I didn't get the vibe that he had figured it out at that point.
So is there a definitive moment or time period you can point to that says, "He has figured it out now, we just won't let the viewer know for sure until 'Identity Crisis?'"
I don't see how I can comment on this one way or the other, as it seems to take for granted the idea that Stacy knows Spidey's secret identity.
1. While Kraven was stalking Spidey I noticed his spider-sense didn't go off. Is that an OOPS or what?
2. Is Kraven turning into an animal supposed to be similar to Puma? (look him up if you don't know who I mean)
3. May I suggest asking Robert Englund to play Carnage? He'd do a great job because Freddy Krueger's personality is a lot like Carnage's.
1. Stalking doesn't activate spider-sense in our show. As I've said before, Pete was bitten by a genetically altered spider, not a genetically altered psychic. We limited spider-sense in our series to incoming blows.
2. I know who Puma is, thank you.
3. Robert is already our Vulture. I'm not ruling out your suggestion, but I wouldn't want the voices to be too similar.
1. If you can't borrow Kingpin what crime boss will you use? Owl?
2. I heard something about Beetle and Boomerang being in SSM is it true?
3. You think you will use Morbius and Manwolf?
4. How heavily "toned down" does Carnage have to be to be in the show?
1. As of the end of Season Two, I couldn't use Owl either. But I've got plenty of crime bosses already.
2. Seriously, WHERE did you hear that? Or did you just make it up? Anyway, Beetle's currently unavailable: officially he's not a Spidey villain. I'd have to check on Boomerang.
3. No comment.
4. How heavily toned down did you want him to be?
And just curious? Is there one question above that I haven't already answered? Let's check the ASK GREG Archives.
Hmmm... Nope. All been answered before. Some of them multiple times.
I have some questions considering the censorship of Spectacular Spider-Man. I don't think they will reveal any spoilers (I hope not). If they do, then you don't have to answer them.
1) Can you get away with Carnage being a serial killer in the show?
2) Can you get away with Morbius being a vampire that bites people and drinks blood in the show?
3) Can you get away with someone like Morlun in the show?
4) Can you get away with someone dying?
5) Did you keep Norman alive because you weren't allowed to keep him dead or did you keep him alive for the future?
1-3. Hasn't come up yet.
4. Yes. We already have.
5. Why would I kill off Norman?
Hi, Greg.
I must say that âThe Spectacular Spider-Manâ is the best superhero show Iâve ever seen. I totally love it. But I have two questions about it that has been sort of bugging me lately.
In Season 1 episode âInterventionâ, after Peter rejects the symbiote, he returns it to Connorsâ laboratory and tries to kill the alien by freezing the camera where itâs held. Eddie Brock sees him doing this and is enraged, because by killing the alien, Spider-Man destroyed his last chance to get back his job and thus his education in college. But less than a minute later, it turns out that the symbiote is unharmed and itâs actually fine. My question is â" why did Brock had to free the alien and bond with it in order to pursue vengeance against Spider-Man? I mean, since it turned out that it was apparently alive and healthy, why couldnât he just leave it in the camera? He would have gotten his job back and everything would have been fine with his life.
And my second question. Spoiler alert!
In âFinal Curtainâ, the final episode of Season 2, the identity of the Green Goblin was revealed for real. He was (of course) none other than Norman Osborn and it turned out that Harryâs unmasking in Season 1 was a red herring meant to throw Spider-Man (and the fans :P) off. Back in Season 1, during his last fight with Spider-Man, Norman faked a leg injury before escaping and later he found Harry unconscious, dressed him up in the Goblin costume and injured his leg, so he would limp in front of Spider-Man. My question is â" why did he faked the injury in the first place? Did he knew before the fight with Spider-Man that Harry was laying unconscious back at home and planned to frame him as a back-up plan? Or did he found him when he came back after the fight? The latter doesnât make much sense, because in such case there was no explicit need to fake an injury, but still, I wonder.
Sorry, these are probably annoying questions whose answers are âJust because!â, but still, theyâre nagging me.
Fingers crossed for Season 3 happening. And 4, and 5, andâ¦
SPIDEY SPOILERS...
1. The "camera"? Anyway, Eddie heard the symbiote calling to him... and released it... pretty much in a semi-trance. At which point, it twisted his already semi-twisted thought processes.
2. He faked an injury with a plan to find a scapegoat later. Harry presented the perfect opportunity.
