Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends is an animated series produced by Marvel Productions Ltd. which starred the Marvel Comics characters Spider-Man and Iceman whilst also introducing the character Firestar to complete the group. It is suspected that Firestar was created because the Fantastic Four's Human Torch was unavailable. Together, they fought against various villains. Originally broadcast on NBC as a Saturday morning cartoon, the series ran first-run original episodes for three seasons, from 1981 to 1983, then aired repeats for an additional two years (from 1984 to 1986). It was later re-aired in the late 1980s as part of the ninety-minute Marvel Action Universe (not to be confused with 1977's The Marvel Action Universe), a syndicated series that was used as a platform for old and new Marvel-produced animated fare (the newer programming featured RoboCop: The Animated Series, Dino-riders and on occasion “Pryde of the X-Men”, which was intended to serve as a pilot for a potential "X-Men" animated series). For the show's second season, due in part to the popularity of an episode starring the Incredible Hulk, the show was aired along with an all-new Hulk cartoon as The Incredible Hulk and the Amazing Spider-Man (the characters' names would be reversed in season 3). It remained that way until the series' cancellation. This animated series was noticeably more popular than the solo Spider-Man animated series that aired around the same time. It has also become more well known in recent years, thanks in part to syndication on the Jetix programming block. As of 2006, as with the majority of the other Disney-acquired Marvel Comics animated series, there are no plans to release the show to DVD. | ||
