==Trivia==
*Due to it being rather hard to convey sarcasm in the Japanese language, Seiya is a lot more serious-minded than Peter Parker, though every so often he makes a joke about his enemy's appearance or mannerisms.
*Just like how Otto Octavius' last name is a play on the word "octopus", Ryōji Taku's last name is a play on the Japanese word for octopus "tako."
*It has been confirmed that Kraven's first name in the series is Sergei but it is unknown if his last name is Kravinoff like in the original comics.
