Everyone anxiously waits for her answer... only for her to reveal "Meng, the Drip-Den guy" as his true identity. She'd be closer to the truth than you'd think. Creator/RinoRomano voiced Meng, and previously voiced Spidey in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' (and the [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2000 first]] [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2EnterElectro two]] UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} games).

** In the Original Script to "When Sparks Fly", Professor Williams was supposed to die when Electro attempted to make her an electric person like him.
