Stargates, SpiderMan, and eugenics?

Spider Man Unlimited-

In the first episode, NASA scientist explain there is a counter earth on the other side of the Sun. They use circular stargates to teleport a shuttle to Counter Earth, very similar to the technology proposed in Michio Kaku's stargate talks in 2011. Before the first episode is allowed to end, we meet the black oily versions of both Venom and Carnage, as well as the characters of Counter Earth and their religious devotion to the High Evolutionary.
Michio Kaku doing his thing...(related to stargates and dimensional travel)

Spider Man also gets really psyched over his nano-armor, adding to the trans-humanism porn feel of many of the cartoons of the 90's. The episode concludes with Spidey about to be sawed open by a bunch of genetic experiments that refer to themselves as Beastials and make it sound cool like bestiality and furries in one warrior class.

The high evolutionary explains in episode two that he was looking for a Utopia, so he built a society out of his genetic experiments. He considers his technology and creations the ultimate achievement. . The high evolutionary is referred to as the Wizard of Oz.

"I thought I came through a space warp to get here... feels more like a Looking Glass "


(Frank Zero does not approve of David Wilcox)


Well that's a pretty direct reference to Project Looking Glass and Timeline 2. Carnage and Venom become obsessed with the Synaptic, which in Kirby's world would be the Eternals Uni Mind or perhaps what the Borg from Star Trek would defeat us with in the end " Your probably the only untagged human in the city,...Every human is tagged with a subdural chip. " What a strange RFID tangent. I don't remember Spidey in the funny books having such a Star Trek sense.



Then there's THE BLACK OIL which of course deserves it's own page...
