In case you’re unaware, today marks the fourth season finale
of Marvel’s ongoing Ultimate Spider-Man
animated series. The show is one
of four ongoing Marvel animated productions running through their Disney
connection alongside Avengers: Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes, Hulk & the
Agents of SMASH, and Guardians of the
Galaxy.
The show has become
pretty widely popular with kids, introducing a wide supporting cast of Marvel
mainstays while also blending its elements with the popularity of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe while also featuring great comic shout outs, like the debut
of fan favorite Miles Morales as played by Donald Glover. We’ll see if it persists now that
Marvel has an onscreen Spider-Man as well but for now, I figured we could
celebrate with a look back at Spider-Man’s long, storied history on television
as Marvel’s #1 franchise.
