Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'll be starting Castlevania: Rondo of Blood while on Sunday I'm continuing Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

[captaindl]

Man for a less know villain, he’s pretty powerful.

[Hulkzilla]

Glad to see more attention is being given to this character. Loved him in the 90’s animated Spider-Man series, and I can’t wait to see him in Across The Spider-verse!

[jakeproven]

I mostly remember the spot from that one episode of Spider-Man the animated series he was in. While it was only one episode he was in, he did Leave future repercussions for the show.

[benparrish]

Always loved this guy's aesthetic. He needs to get an EdgeLord origin makeover. (I kid, kinda)
His powerset is OP & coo

[nosfonader]

Spot really should be an A list villain. Him making portals should make him an Avengers villain. He wouls make an excellent Thor opponent with hi power. Marvel really should ugrade Spot to A tier.

[christopherulichney]

The Spot was one of the first villains i encountered when i started collecting Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man . Got a soft spot (pun intended) in my heart for him. Sadly for me most of his later appearances came after I stopped collecting comics. So thanks for filling in the gaps in my knowledge of the Spot.

Since you mentioned it, we need a video on the Darkforce Dimension.
And I'm still leading he charge to get a video on BATTLESTAR in time for the 4th of July.

As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[wayneashford]

Another great episode as always; the Spot's always been portrayed as somewhat a joke yet he's always had great potential...

(How about PLEASE doing an episode on Hardcore, the villain from the 1990s 'Cage' series?? He was m 12:56 ore dangerous than ANY OF Cage's previous previous foes).

[eerieeric]

I’m still waiting for the origins of marvel Slapstick because he’s the most underrated marvel character around and he deserves a video

[Ironmew]

The Spot went from a character with a weird, gimmicky power, to a threat to the entire multiverse. How far we've come.

[ericw]

I swear Spidey never learns his lesson about letting potential menaces go free

[KyleDangerXCW]

Spider-Man's rouges gallery is by far one of the best rouges galleries in comic book history!! 💯🕷🕸

[AgentNevets]

I love how you can make videos on minor characters, or characters have no interest in, and I still can’t wait to watch them and enjoy them.

[aidanhever]

He's kinda like the Riddler from Batman. He looks like a joke villain. But we soon find out how powerful he really is.

[vincentfranklin]

I learned a lot about the character with this! Thanks!

[nrgao]

The thing is they use a lot his powers with other heroes like Dr Strange and Wanda.

[quentinfogger]

Is Spot similar to America Chavez since he can create portals? Can you please do history of America Chavez?

What would happen if Spot fought against heroes like Cloak and Dagger?

[sirbedevere]

Coyote shit is terrifying but creatively awesome

[quentinfogger]

Speaking of Kingpin, How long till you do history of his adopted daughter Maya Lopez AKA Echo?

[seanbullamore]

Man these are great I love how you mainly talk about lesser known characters. This is by far my favorite comic channel I like your stuff even more than Robs. I can't wait to see you tackle people like the controller or psycho man
