The Crime Lords, led by Silvermane, are holding The Kingpin accountable for his failure to eliminate Spider-Man. So six of the Wall-Crawler's greatest enemies are called together to do the job: Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, The Scorpion, The Rhino, The Shocker and The Chameleon. Unfortunately, Spidey's powers have been on the blink due to the changes in his blood chemistry.

Goofs: Just before Spider-Man's powers fail him the second time, he picks up a newspaper headlined for Saturday. Afterward, he returns home and sleeps. When Aunt May tells Peter he was asleep for over 24 hours, he realizes it's now Thursday. If that's the case, then the newspaper he picked up before should have been marked for Wednesday.
When Flash shows Peter the news about how Spider-Man was leading the Insidious Six, the Chameleon is clearly disguised as Spider-Man, but he does not have his belt on.
For some reason The Shocker is still in his costume in prison.
Mysterio's voice is different in this episode from the one in "The Menace of Mysterio"
Doctor Octopus: (After getting the signal that it's time to defeat Spider-Man) Excuse me my dear, I am needed in surgery, but I'll be back.
Aunt May: What a nice man.
Mysterio: No more illusions, Spider-Man. (The other Insidious Six members arrive)
Rhino: We're real. And we got you at last!
Chameleon: (Disguised as Aunt May) Oh, you poor dear. Ready for the end… (Transforms into a witch form of Aunt May) MY PRETTY!!! (laughs evilly)
Doctor Octopus: (To the Scorpion about his plan of using Peter to get to Spider-Man) Good plan, too good for a clod such as yourself.
Doctor Octopus: Now where could an inane, arachnid aberration such as you, be going in so much of a hurry?
Scorpion: Out of my way octopus!
Doctor Octopus: (Grabs him with his mechanical arms) You didn't say please.
Spider-Man: (As the Rhino is stealing money) Hold it horn head, you didn't fill out a withdrawal slip.
Spider-Man: I go to sleep for one lousy day and I wake up in the Twilight Zone.
Debra: A little late, eh Peter. What's the matter, get wrapped up watching cartoons this morning?
Spider-Man: (About the Insidious Six) Can't find a trace of them anywhere. No bank robberies, no jewel thefts, not even any fresh graffiti.
Mysterio: (About joining the Kingpin's Insidious Six to help stop Spider-Man) The plot seems clever enough. The climax ought to be intriguing.
Rhino: (After a robot Spider-Man is destroyed) What do you know, all this time Spider-Man was really a robot.
Doctor Octopus: Neanderthal, that wasn't the real Spider-Man, it was an obvious fake.
Mysterio: (After being freed) And I can resume my leading role of Mysterio. Now let's disappear. (Makes himself, the Scorpion, the Chameleon, and the Shocker disappear in smoke)
Spider-Man: What am I thinking? How could anybody commit to a guy who sneaks off to crawl on walls?
Spider-Man: (To Bruce the Gargoyle, as he looks down at the city) Look at them down there. I bet each one has somebody close. I feel so distant. I have nobody, except you of course. You're always here for me. You're rock solid, and best of all you laugh at all my jokes. Bruce, you're a heck of a guy. But I do wish I had someone a little prettier to talk to.
Spider-Man: (To Chameleon, disguised as himself) My, aren't you a handsome gent!
Dr. Octopus: Back off, you pea-brained, uncoordinated, absurdly-dressed excuse of a man!
Scorpion: Hey, who are you calling "absurdly-dressed"?
Morbius: I had thought you would be my main competition Parker, but you will be lucky to make it to the starting line.
Peter: Don't forget Michael, the tortoise beat the hare.
Morbius: In my country, we eat tortoises.
Dr. Connors: You weren't born with your spider-powers, were you?
Spider-Man: No, I won them on a quiz show.
Dr. Connors: (Looking at a computer scan) These patterns imply Neogenics are involved. How is that possible?
Spider-Man: That was the category I chose.
Chameleon: (The villains concentrate their attacks on the Rhino's door, but they have no effect)(Disguised as a guard) Very impressive. But try this instead. It's called "a key". (opens door)
Rhino: Is it dinner time already?
Scorpion: Eat acid, Spider-Man!
Spider-man: Sorry, I'm on an acid-free diet!
Felicia: [about Morbius] What horror movie did he come from.
Peter: The return of Dracula's ego.
Although Owl makes his first and last appearance in this episode, he does not speak once.
The pictures that Dr. Connors shows his class about neogenics are the same ones shown in "Alien Costume".
In the comics, Silvermane originally appeared in ASM #76-78, Hammerhead in ASM #114-117, and the Owl in PPtSSM #72-74. (All numbers are approximations)
In the comics, they were called the Sinister Six and were up of Doc Ock (leader), Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Mysterio, and Vulture in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1. Over time, they returned introducing, removing, and replacing a few members with guys like the Hobgoblin and Gog. At one point they even became the Sinister Seven and then the Sinister Twelve!
This marks the first time that the season uses "chapters", where they have one main name for every episode in the season, accompanied with another minor name. This is used until the final season.
Dr. Conners refers to the Toomes grant, foreshadowing the appearance of Adrian Toomes (the Vulture), in chapter 13 "Shriek of the Vulture".
Scorpion: Alive and stinging.
This is an adaptation from the commonly used phrase "Alive and kicking".
