‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Voice Cast: Who’s Who In Season 1, Episode 5, From Scorpion To Unicorn

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5

The final of three episodes streaming today on Disney+, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5, “The Unicorn Unleashed!” — and you’re not going to believe this — unleashed the unicorn. And if you’re wondering who played The Unicorn, or The Scorpion, or any number of animal themed characters in the voice cast? Read on.

But first, a quick recap of the episode to provide some context. Spoilers past this point. At the end of the last episode, we discovered this season’s big bad guy: Dr. Otto Octavius, the man more commonly known as Doctor Octopus. He’s the one selling high-tech weapons to petty crooks, in order to fund an enterprise that he believes will put him above Stark, Banner and Osborn on the genius scale. And in this case, this involved selling a helmet that shoots lasers to Mila Masaryk, aka The Unicorn.

While she heads off to free her gang from prison, Peter and Harry Osborn are having an awkward meeting after Harry found out Peter is Spider-Man in the previous episode. Norman, knowing he won’t always be there for Spidey, assigns Harry to be, as Harry puts it, his “dude at the desk” — a riff on Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) being Spider-Man’s man in the chair in the movies.

While the two teens awkwardly strike up a friendship, Nico is feeling left out. And things get worse by the end of the episode when Peter invites Harry to go see a movie with them, without asking her.

Back to The Unicorn, though. She frees her compatriots, and ends up tangling with Spider-Man… And even gets the upper hand, almost killing him. It’s only with the intervention of Mikhail Sytsevich, who comic book fans know is the father of The Rhino but here is just basically The Rhino, that Spider-Man survives and beats The Unicorn.

The main dramatic heft for the episode, though, is on Lonnie Lincoln, who is at his breaking point trying to balance Big Donovan’s demands for the 110 gang, being in school, and playing for the football team. Things take a turn when he’s coerced into joining a gang fight with The Scorpions, leads by Mac Gargan. While he initially dodges the action, when Lonnie sees Big Don almost take a knife from Mac, he tackles the gang-leader, getting stabbed in the arm in the process.

The fight breaks up, and after Lonnie expresses he hates being called “superstar,” Big Don decides to give him a new nickname: Tombstone.

Looking for a breakdown of the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 1, Episode 1 voice cast, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 1, Episode 2 voice cast, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 1, Episode 3 voice cast, or Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 1, Episode 4 voice cast? We’ve got you covered. And read on for who’s who in Episode 5.

So pretty much everybody this episode was in the last episode, so you can check out our previous breakdowns for most of the main cast.

However, after a brief appearance last episode, we meet Mac Gargan, aka The Scorpion from the comics. He’s voiced by Jonathan Medina, who I know as Adrian from one episode of Fear the Walking Dead. But you may know him as Jay on Primo. Coming up, he has a big role on Apple TV+’s For All Mankind as Silvio Costa.

Doc Ock’s assistant Vincent Patilio is also an animal character from the comics: Leap-Frog, an inventor who creates a frog suit that lets him jump a lot. Here he’s voiced by Kellen Goff, who you likely will not recognize as the only-growls voice of the alien symbiote from the series premiere of YFNSM.

And because they get more of a spotlight this episode, I’ll note that: Hugh Dancy, aka Will Graham from Hannibal, does the voice of Otto Octavius; Travis Willingham is once again the voice of Mikhail Sytsevich, and if you’re a fan of Critical Role you know him as one of the main cast; and Sarah Natochenny is the voice of Mila Masaryk, aka The Unicorn, and if you got a sense that The Unicorn wanted to be the very best there ever was, that’s because Natochenny is also the voice of Ash Ketchum on Pokémon.
