This is the only Spider-Man episode featuring any well known actors. Bochner does a solid job as Dr. Moon but Morgan Fairchild's performance is among the worst I've ever seen. Still, this is an exciting episode with a neat plot, solid scripting and superb stunt work. For purists of the comic book, this episode features Aunt May and a scene where Spidey shows off his tremendous Spider-Strength by breaking out of a bank vault.

Mr.
Jameson informs his reporters that the TOVAL award selection
committee is in New York to decide upon a winner. Jameson suspects
that they might finally select Dr. Moon, an american geneticist,
to be the winner this year. He assigns Peter and another Bugle
reporter to attend a press conference about cloning being held
by the scientist. During the demonstration, Dr. Moon clones a
frog before the eyes of several amazed reporters. 
Meanwhile,
a mysterious figure plants a bomb in the elevator at the hotel
where several members of the TOVAL committee are staying. When
the committee members board the elevator, the bomb is ignited,
sending them crashing down several floors. Leaving the press
conference, Peter hears about the accident on the radio and proceeds
to the crime scene where Spider-Man surveys the area. Later,
Peter encounters Dr. Moon in the hotel which causes his Spider
sense to go off. He begins to link Dr. Moon with the explosion
and piece together that Dr. Moon may have succeeded in cloning
human beings. Dr. Moon's animosity for the TOVAL committee is
well known, given that the committee had passed him over for
many years. Peter begins to fear that the other members of the
TOVAL committee are in grave danger, as is Lisa Benson, the daughter
of one of the committee members. 
Peter
overhears a phone call between Dr. Moon and Ms. Benson and decides
to follow her as Spider-Man. He manages to track her to a section
of town filled with abandoned buildings. Spider-Man arrives just
as Dr. Moon pulls a gun on Lisa and saves her life. During the
fight, however, Spider-Man cuts his hand, leaving droplets of
blood around the complex. Dr. Moon uses these samples to make
a clone of Peter Parker. We learn in fact, that the Dr. Moon
we are seeing is an evil clone of the real Dr. Moon and that
the new Peter Parker is also evil. The evil clones recognize
that Peter Parker is a huge threat and plot to do him in at the
TOVAL MASQUERADE BALL. It's Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man in a spectacular
rooftop battle which may spell the end for the good Peter Parker.
