The series was a part of Marvel’s Animated universe of the 1990s, featuring everything from Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four to Iron Man and Silver Surfer.
For a lot of adults, these animated series were their first exposure to these larger-than-life Marvel characters during their childhoods, with many absorbing the cartoons before they ever picked up a comic book.
