InYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manepisodes 1 & 2, Norman Osborn takes the place of Tony Stark in this alternate timeline by offering Peter a place in the Oscorp Internship Program.

Spider-Man Brand-New Costume Explained
Basically A Foundation For The Future
Because he saved his son Harry, Norman Osborn offers Peter any assistance he can to help make Spider-Man the best superhero he can be in New York. Likewise, Norman envisions a next generation of heroes who can be far better thanthe current Avengers who are currently embroiled in the Sokovia Accordsamid questions of collateral damage and accountability. As such, Norman wants to help Spider-Man get to that next level; to essentially become the foundation for the future of superheroes.
After several suits that prove to be failures,Peter and Norman finally settle on a predominantly white and black suit mirroring the Websligner’s classic Future Foundation suit from the comics. However, this version does have its own unique red and blue accents on the sides, suggesting that this is simply a prototype suit before Peter’s final and more well-known suit, just like the costume he’s been drawing in his notebook. Nevertheless, the current white suit is quite a major upgrade compared to what Peter had been working with on his own.
Lonnie Lincoln’s New Name Explained
Is Lonnie Becoming A Classic Spider-Man Villain?
Originally joining the 110th St. Gang to save his brother, it seems as though it’s going to be harder and harder for Lonnie to get out of Big Donovan’s grip. Not only is he already missing football practice, but it does look as though Lonnie’s starting to enjoy the feelings of brotherhood, camaraderie, and protection the gang provides, especially after saving Big Donovan from the Scorpions and earning himself the nickname “Tombstone”.As such, it does seem as though things are only going to get worse for Lonnie asYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Mancontinues.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Cast & Character Guide - Every Actor In The Animated Series
Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is in development, and its main cast members are steadily being confirmed in the meantime.
Fans of the original comics know that Lonnie Lincoln is the classic New York crime boss better known as Tombstone who runs his operations out of 110th St. As such, Lonnie’s new nickname and involvement with the 110 certainly doesn’t bode well, and it does seem likely that he may end up leading the gang by the series' end. However, it remains to be seen ifYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’sTombstone will eventually gain the same powers he has in the comicsfrom a toxic gas that changes his skin, making him incredibly strong and invulnerable.
What Is Doctor Octopus Planning Next?
Creating All Kinds of Villains With His Tech
The official debut of Otto Octavius inYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manepisode 5 is very exciting as well, confirming that he’s the brains behind all the advanced robotics and weaponry that’s been falling into the hands of New York’s various criminals. While his classic mechanical arms have yet to be shown,the future Doctor Octopus very much resembles the original depictions by Spider-Man artist Steve Ditko. Otto’s ego is just as gargantuan as it is on the page as well, believing his genius should be revered far more than hacks like Tony Stark or Bruce Banner.
To that end, it stands to reason that Otto is just getting started after effectively creating Butane, Tarantula, Speed Demon, and Unicorn in this alternate MCU timeline. He’ll likely be responsible for more villains Spider-Man will have to face by the end of his new series, at least before potentially facing Spider-Man himself with his lethal arms. At any rate, it’s going to be very exciting to see whereYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Mangoes next following this new batch of episodes.
