The Time of Revenge Has Come! Beat Down Iron – “The Time of Revenge Has Come! Beat Down Iron Cross Group!” The first episode of the Toei-produced Japanese “Spider-Man” TV series sees motorcycle racer Takuya Yamashiro gain the powers of Spider-Man in order to defeat Professor Monster

“Gain the powers of Spider-Man” means he can stick to walls, spin webs etc… the main difference is that when the going gets tough for Japanese Spider-man he summons a flying car which takes him to a ship that transforms into a robot.

I have previously only seen this show on DVD (with no subtitles) but Marvel has begun making the series available on their website. Hit the jump for episode 2.

Also be sure to check out Italian Spiderman.

Mysterious World! The Man Lives to Fate – “Mysterious World! The Man Lives to Fate” When a train suspiciously overturns, Takuya (Spider-Man) believes Professor Monster and the Iron Cross Army are responsible, while flashbacks reveal the tragic details surrounding Garia, Spider-Man’s mentor.
