NOTE: This page is only for Herbert Landon's characterization in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, considering the original comic counterpart was not voted Pure Evil. Therefore, only the 90's cartoon's info and crimes should be listed here.

This chemical was designed by me to reduce the physio-electric energy of mutant DNA, unraveling it into nothingness. It will make mutant cells turn against them and destroy their very bodies. The human race will be purified once more. And to make sure it works, I'm going to test it on you, my true blue friend. The irony is I couldn't have done any of this without your brilliant research; the research you started to prevent yourself from turning into a hairy animal. [laughs]
~ Landon to Beast, revealing his plan of mutant genocide.

Dr. Herbert Landon is a major antagonist in Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

He was a brilliant but completely self-serving scientist who specialized in mutant DNA. Landon later became a lieutenant to Wilson Fisk, but had no true loyalty to him.

He was voiced by the late David Warner, who also voiced Talon in Mighty Max, Alpha in Men in Black: The Series and Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate II.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]

  • He tried to commit genocide against all the mutants in the world to, according to him, "purify" the human race. To make matters worse, he tries to test his chemistry on Hank "Beast" McCoy, his former best friend.
    • When Wolverine tried to save Beast, Landon gladly tried to seize the opportunity to kill them both.
  • He double-crosses Hobgoblin by trying to blow him up with a fake briefcase of money.
  • When he saw Spider-Man fighting Wolverine, he tells his men to kill them both, even though Spider-Man saved him from getting crushed by the Hobgoblin.
  • Once turned into a mutant, he kidnaps his assistant and tries to absorb all the electricity in New York City.
  • He allied himself with the Kingpin in his quest to take over the world.
  • He tried to kill Spider-Man several times, even though he helped him partially regain his human form.
  • He turns Alistair Smythe into a cyborg slave with the intention of him killing Spider-Man and Norman Osborn, only for the situation to end up spiraling out of control when Smythe turns against him and the Kingpin.
  • He visibly cannot comprehend why Kingpin would help Spider-Man and the Spot close the portal above New York, implying that he'd rather allow the world to be destroyed than assist his enemies.
  • He turns Felicia Hardy into Black Cat and blackmails her into killing Spider-Man, threatening to kill her father John Hardesky.
  • He doesn't care about the Kingpin in the slightest, he just uses him as a tool to further his own goals. Proof of this claim is when one of Fisk's men points out that he never intended to go through with his deal in creating his mutant army in the first place.
