Spectacular Spider-Man May Schedule

The newest animated series version of Marvel’s famed flagship web spinner continues on KidsWB! This Saturday the arch nemesis Green Goblin makes his mark on the program in the premiere of ‘Catalyst’ (which also sees the introduction of a certain red-headed bombshell).

“Catalysts” takes place on the night of the Midtown High Fall Formal, and Peter Parker finds his overconfidence is nearly his undoing – as both a teenager and a super hero. While his date, Mary Jane Watson, threatens to invert Midtown’s social structure, Pete lets her popularity go to his head. So when the mysterious, murderous Green Goblin tries to force L. Thompson Lincoln (a.k.a. Tombstone) to step
down as NYC’s Big Man of crime, will Spider-Man take this new threat seriously enough – or will he be so cocky that he loses his big head?!

Voiced by veteran voice-over actor Steve Blum, the Goblin will certainly take Spidey to task.

Blum has been called the “King of Anime” for his monumental number of credits within the industry. Blum’s trademark voice can be found in a variety of characters within the anime realm, though his prolific voiceover career has moved seamlessly between all animated mediums, including voices for traditionally animated cartoons and films, commercials and video games.

Beyond his recognizable work as the voice of Tom, the announcer of Cartoon Network’s Toonami, Blum can be heard in “The Powerpuff Girls,” “Naruto,” “Ben 10,” “Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law,” “Loonatics
Unleashed,” “What’s New, Scooby-Doo?” and as the title character in the upcoming “Wolverine & the X-Men.” His favorite voice acting role is as Spike Spiegel from the popular anime series “Cowboy Bebop.”

Blum is highly regarded as the second (and last) voice actor to voice Canaan in the Xenosaga video game series, and is the voice of Wolverine in the video game, “X-Men Legends.” He has also been featured in the interactive arena on innumerable video games, including “Halo 3,” “Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith,” “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” “Transformers: The Game,” “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” “Spider-Man 3,” “Call of Duty,” “Call of Duty: United Offensive,” “Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”

Blum is also the voice of Vincent Valentine for the dub cast of the direct-to-DVD release, “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.” His many anime credits include “Goku Midnight Eye,” “Kyôshoku sôkô Guyver,”
“Akira,” “Ôritsu uchûgun Oneamisu no tsubasa,” “Amagaedun uzu,” “Jûichi-nin iru!” and “Hokuto no Ken,” “Chôjikû seiki Ôgasu.”
