This episode crosses over with Iron Man (1994) with War-Machine and Iron Man making appearances. Iron Man/Tony Stark is voiced by Robert Hays and War Machine is voiced by James Avery. This means that this episode takes place during or before the first 8 episodes of Iron Man (1994) since that is when Avery provided the voice for War Machine and Tony Stark had short hair.
Spider-Man points out that Kassidy's insane mind bonded with the Carnage symbiote so completely, he refers to his bonded self as "I" instead of "we" like Venom/Eddie Brock.
This episode is loosely based on "The Amazing Spider-Man" (Vol. 1) #361-#363.
