Morrisania Bench: The Hydro Woman
Off coast at the same time the incident occurred that made Sandlady who she is, Morrisania Bench was out enjoying the surf. Freeing her mind as she often loved to do, only to soon become even closer with the waves than one normally would be able to. Disappearing into the waters for months on end until one day finally resurfacing, washing up on the same beach Sandlady had once called home.
Sandlady noted the newly washed up Morrisania and helped to move her undetected to where she can receive help, seeing as she was still somehow alive. Unbeknownst to everyone, however, Morrisania had not survived unchanged. Her hair had shifted color.. and never did seem to dry, soaking everything her head touched. This was a sign of her liquefied fate.
Despite her gratitude to Sandlady’s help in getting her off the beach, she often butts heads with the other, mostly due to their differing states of matter. Still, they have an odd sort of.. friendship between them. Rhino finds them both fun.

Why it's the right time for a third season of The Spectacular Spider-Man
Tumblr media
While Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: The Animated Series were my introduction to the character of Spidey, Spectacular Spider-Man was how I truly fell in love with the character.
I was obsessed with the show as a child. I had nearly every action figure, I'd rewatch episodes (shoutout "Group Therapy", it's my favorite), and even tried to make the theme song my ringtone.
Tumblr media
As I went on in my years and consumed so much Spider-Man content, I always found myself comparing it to Spectacular Spider-Man.
Did the voice match as well as Keaton's, was the style of the character simple yet unique to what we've seen before, how are the quips?
I did this so much, that earlier this year I wondered if I was just wearing nostalgia glasses. That maybe I was misremembering as one does. So, I rewatched the entire show with my partner...
...and I was NOT.
Tumblr media
It is concise, it is beautiful, and every episode at the very least is fun. There is no villain that doesn't get their due, there is no arc that isn't important, and there is not a moment where Josh Keaton is embodying the best voice for Peter Parker or Spider-Man.
As you might've been able to tell by my Young Justice article, I am a huge fan of the storytelling ability of Greg Weismann. But I think it is really put on display in this show. Every beat feels important, most characters have solid arcs, and suspense and danger always feel real and earned.
Tumblr media
With my rewatch, Spectacular Spider-Man's recent inclusion in Across the Spider-Verse, and the fanbase continuing to rage on, I thought I'd put my two cents in as to why it's time this show is brought back.
Clearly I'm biased but I don't care.
1. New Villains
Tumblr media
Spectacular Spider-Man had a great way of bringing in classic villains and even B-list villains and making them iconic.
My favorite example of this was The Shocker, who in this version was also Montana, leader of the Enforcers.
By doing this, they made one of Spider-Man silliest enemies into a character who feels like the most qualified killer in every room he's in.
Because such time has passed since season 2, new and different Spider-Man villains have entered the zeitgeist. The Prowler, The Spot, and Mr Negative are great examples of villains who weren't well known when the show was originally going on.
Tumblr media
There were also several different villains teased during the 1st and 2nd season. The promise of Carnage, Hydro Man, Man-Wolf, and Hobgoblin never came to be, and fans of the show remember!
Tumblr media
Much like every character, several villains in the show were left on cliffhangers. Hammerhead and Silver Sable were left without any bosses. Harry was left fatherless. Black Cat hates Spider-Man for letting her father stay in prison. And New York was left without a Big Man.
It'd be very exciting to see who might take over after a situation like that.
2. New Heroes
Tumblr media
Unlike other superhero shows, Spectacular Spider-Man lacks many if any team ups.
Since it's cancellation, we have had several Spider-Verse crossovers, and Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales have entered the main stream.
Tumblr media
Making Gwen a Spider and introducing Miles into the friend group could add more tension to the Peter and Harry dynamic as he feels left out and an eerie feeling something is going on.
The potential for Spectacular Spider-Man to enter a wider Marvel universe is now possible, with Disney now owning the rights for television.
Tumblr media
We could see Peter join the Avengers, fight alongside Ms. Marvel, even switch bodies with Wolverine.
I'm not saying this SHOULD happen, but we do know that Greg Weismann knows how to build out a universe.
Tumblr media
3. Not Enough (Good) Animated Spidey Content
Tumblr media
Since Spectacular Spider-Man, we've had two different animated Spider-Man shows. Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man.
While Ultimate Spider-Man had a silly interesting tone, and an overarching story that was interesting at times, it paled in comparison to what came before.
Tumblr media
Many of the characters lacked depth, and the jokes just didn't hit the same. But at least that show had charm.
Marvel's Spider-Man did not.
The animation was boring, the characters lacked the fun and whimsy of both the others, and every character felt exaggerated. It was painful to watch.
The next Spider-Man show we are getting is entitled Spider-Man Freshman year, set within the MCU.
Tumblr media
While it looks promising and different, due to the writers strike, the MCU constantly pushing projects back, and Marvel Studios constantly over working VFX and animation studios, I don't see this one coming out any time soon.
Which leaves a window for Spectacular Spider-Man to fill. We've gone too long without animated Spidey content on television!!
and most importanty:
4. Josh Keaton is just the Best Spider-Man
Tumblr media
Holland. Maguire. Garfield. Johnson. Lowenthal. Moore. The question keeps coming up. Who is the best Spider-Man?
But oh they are all wrong.
So soon the public forget how perfect Keaton's acting is. He nails the quips like Garfield. The inner monologues like Maguire. The awkward nerdiness like Holland. And he nailed the blacksuit storyline.
He perfected it all.
Keaton's Spider-Man is on pair with Kevin Conroy's Batman. It is the voice I hear when I read the comics, and it works on every level.
At 44, Keaton still sounds like Peter Parker, and could continue doing the show now as if it never ended. But frankly, we don't know how long that will last, or how long Keaton would be interested in continuing this version of the character. Now is the time to give him that call!
In this era of oh so many Spider-Men, it's time the king took back his crown. There's a reason he's the animated Spider-Man that made it into Across the Spider-Verse.
Now is the time to bring it back. The fans want it. Keaton wants it. It would be a win for everyone.
Let's just hope Disney isn't stupid enough to miss that.

open to bottoms.
suggested connection: pool cleaning guy, gardener, neighbour accross the fence, staying at home friend (that’s thought to be sleeping), friendly postman that walks in to leave the letter inside and finds the scene,...
feel free to have your character observe, interrupt, be affected by the situation,... 
Tumblr media
There was an undeniable familiarity when it came to vacation for him. Anytime that Henry faced the possibility of them, he postponed them, but things were different. With a cop for a partner and his job, the ability to share the same time had become quite hard. So when he was given the chance of making them work together, he hadn’t denied it for them both.
Walking with a very short robe after a quick shared bath, he laid back against the bouncing hammock, enjoying its movement as he looked at the shadowing tree behind him closing his eyes.
Tumblr media
It had not been the first time that Froy had shared space with someone during vacation, but it was surely the first time the garden was that large. Froy and Henry didn’t live together, not just yet. There was no time for moving in, so of course, when vacation was given, the time was set for it. And after waking up next to him without having to leave, the shared shower that they just had left him with need for more. For cuddles. For attention.
The cop walked wearing nothing, despite the presence of the pool guy not far away from him, and walked towards his boyfriend straddling one of his legs while guiding the other above his waist, noticing the contact of their waists as he leaned down to steal a kiss of his closed eyes. Only meeting a light breath as a response before the continued kiss happened.

Heroic Comics, #19, art by H. C. Kiefer (Featuring Hydroman)
Hydroman was created by Bill Everett, the person who created Namor the Sub-mariner for Timely (Marvel) Comics.  Apparently Eastern Color Comics was hoping to strike gold with a similar sea-theme based character - although the result was a mix of Namor and the Human Torch (since Hydroman can transmute his body to liquid completely).
