How Joan Lee Became Madame Web On Spider-Man: The Animated Series

Spider-Man: The Animated Series producer John Semper Jr. recalls how Stan Lee’s late wife, Joan Lee, became the voice of Madame Web.

Although she made a cameo alongside her husband of 69 years, Stan Lee, in X-Men: Apocalypse and first appeared in animated form as Miss Forbes in the 1994 animated Fantastic Four series, Joan Lee will be best remembered for voicing Madame Web in Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994-1998).

As far back as the third season, when Madame Web made her debut, Semper had “wanted Spider-Man to face the greatest challenge he’d ever faced” in the series finale.
