Ok, it was funny that while at the circus, Clark attacked the "amazing" spider woman thinking her a monster. Don't know if this was a poke at Marvel or not, but if so, touche. His pant-ripping, whirly-dropping antics on the other hand were annoying though they led to him accidentally becoming part of the high wire act which was not that bad since the kid actually wore a mask when using his powers. So far, this album has annoyed me the least... I guess that's a start.
The concept for Spider-Woman originated as a way to insure copyright in order for Marvel to prevent rivals from profiting off of a character with a name similar to Spider-Man (see Captain Marvel, Power Man / Girl, Wonder Woman / Man). This was also initiated to counter the Web Woman animated series that debuted around the same time. The first Spider-Woman debuted in 1978's Marvel Spotlight #3.
The Spider-Woman animated series made its debut in 1979, partly as a response to Filmation's creation of a character named Web Woman whose series debuted the year prior.
In the show, Jessica Drew was bitten by a poisonous spider but when her father saved her life by injecting her with an experimental "spider serum", she gained superhuman powers. The onscreen version of Spider-Woman lacked super strength, but had enough other powers to make up for it. She could fly, fire bursts of energy from her hands called "venom blasts," she possessed a "spider-sense" warning her of danger, she could sling webs organically ala movie Spider-Man, and she could change into costume by spinning (though that may not be an actual power per se), she could talk to spiders like Aquaman does with fish, she possessed a spider-shriek, and she could make a spider-bubble to breathe underwater.
The series featured frequent a couple of guest appearances by Spider-Man who apparently wanted to make sure his "brand" was being well represented. Any other relationship between the two spider-heroes was not made clear.
Like previous Marvel series, this one was short lived lasting just 16 episodes.
