* GeniusBonus: In the episode "The Witching Hour," Jameson reads an incantation that sends the reader, if receptive, into a trance in which he acts as a medium for demonic spirits. The incantation is in Latin, and means (approximately) "Come forth from the great inferno." The translation might not be perfect, but that the writers even tried to come close is noteworthy.

"One-Eyed Idol" has the savage Aborigine guide in employ of the GreatWhiteHunter gunning for Spider-Man, "The Fantastic Fakir" features almost every SimSimSalabim trope in existence (complete with a villain whose entire theme is rope tricks), and the "Super Swami"... is actually racist in so many ways it's hard to nail down just what nationality he's supposed to be.
