caught and fed on by one of the Inheritors. In other media Television "The Six Arms Saga" is adapted into the Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode "Neogenic Nightmare". In this continuity, the transformation is caused by the same spider-bite that gave Spider-Man his powers and took longer to develop. After the mutation begins, Spider-Man first asks Professor X and the X-Men for aid, but they are unable to help. Spider-Man then turns to Dr. Mariah Crawford instead, but his initial attempt at a cure results in him growing four arms. After fighting the Punisher, Michael Morbius, and the NYPD, the accelerated mutation causes Spider-Man to mutate into the feral "Man-Spider". Kraven the Hunter and Punisher are eventually able to capture Man-Spider and deliver him to Dr. Crawford, who restores him to normal. By the end of the season, the Vulture attempts to drain Spider-Man's youth and power, but Dr. Curt Connors reprograms the Vulture's equipment to absorb the defective genome that originally caused Spider-Man's mutation and permanently cure him, though the genome was temporarily transferred to the Vulture. In the two-part series finale, "Spider Wars", Spider-Man teams up with multiple alternate reality versions of himself assembled by the Beyonder and Madame Web, including a Spider-Man that was still dealing with his mutation crisis who eventually transforms into Man-Spider during their mission. The Beyonder later teleports Man-Spider back to his home dimension so he could receive help. The Six Arms Saga is alluded to in Ultimate Spider-Man. In the episode "Strange", Peter Parker dreams that he has four additional arms during his fight with Nightmare within his mind. In "Carnage", Peter imagines a spider-like appearance while he is trying to figure out what his transformation will be after the Green Goblin injects him with the Carnage symbiote. In "The Savage Spider-Man", while traveling to the Savage Land with Wolverine, Spider-Man is poisoned during an encounter with Taskmaster and transforms into the feral Man-Spider before he is eventually cured after Ka-Zar sprays him with liquid from a native Savage Land skunk-like creature and turned back to normal off-screen. In "Return to the Spider-Verse (Pt. 4)", an alternate reality version of Spider-Man resembling Man-Spider is seen among Wolf Spider's captives before the "prime" Spider-Man defeats the latter.
