With Spider-Man: No Way Home currently breaking records at the box office, we can’t think of a better time to celebrate the character’s animated adventures. Although Spider-Man has appeared in several animated projects throughout his storied career as a web-slinging superhero, it’s Spider-Man: The Animated Series that is perhaps the most beloved by fans. The series aired on Fox Kids Network from 1994-1998 for a total of five seasons comprised of sixty-five episodes. That’s a lot of web-fluid, tons of quips, and plenty of bad guys left hanging upside down from telephone poles.
Naturally, the series follows Peter Parker, who is a college student at Empire State University. As Peter struggles to walk the line between being a diligent student and the city’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, he quickly discovers that he’ll have to be more than super if he plans on leading two lives. Thankfully, he won’t be alone in the endeavor, as characters the likes of Doctor Strange, Punisher, Daredevil, Iron Man, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, and even members of the X-Men will be there to lend him a helping hand. He’s going to need it too, what with the Lizard, the Spider-Slayer, Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, the Hobgoblin, and a version of the Sinister Six looking to make Spider-Man’s life miserable. A hero’s work is never done, and Peter is going to be reminded fairly quickly that with great power comes great responsibility.
Join us as we take a look back at Spider-Man: The Animated Series – starring the voice talents of actors like Christopher Daniel Branes, Jennifer Hale, Ed Asner, Julie Bennett, Hank Azaria, Mark Hamill, and more.
