animated television series The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is based on
the comic book character Spider-Man, created by Stan Lee and Steve
Ditko. In the episode, Spider-Man confronts the supervillain Electro,
who has been contaminated by genetically modified electric eels that
were being investigated as a potential source of clean energy.
"Interactions" was directed by Troy Adomitis and written by Kevin Hopps,
who researched all the available comic books that featured Electro.
Electro is drawn to match his comic book appearance, though designer
Victor Cook emphasized the color green and removed the character's
customary star-shaped mask. Voice actor Crispin Freeman sought to
reflect the character's declining sanity in his vocal style.
"Interactions" aired on the Kids WB! block of The CW network. Its 1.4/4
Nielsen rating was higher than that of the pilot, "Survival of the
Fittest". The episode received mixed reviews; IGN commended the episode
for "some notable moments" but found it inferior to the pilot episode.
