Spider-Man, Firestar & Iceman: The Story of Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends Cartoon 

I'm saddened that current and future generations won't know it. What a great time!

Yeah ^_^ Even though its not the topic of this video, I fondly remember hearing when "Star Trek: The Animated Series" was going to debut on Saturday Mornings. I was a big Trekkie even way back then, and I remember I could hardly sleep wanting to see the first episode so much ^_^

Right.... I remember looking through theTV guide, trying to figure out what time Spiderman started in the morning. It was early, but i was up😁

@Noah Partic Particularly two episodes which I wish were made canon: "Yesteryear", where Spock uses the Guardian of Eternity to prevent his death as a child (and we get to see a Sehlat for the first time ^_^), and "The Soft Weapon", which I didn't learn until my college years was based on a story by Larry Niven (of the "Ringworld" series and others).

Same here.

Have you ever seen the Spider-Woman cartoon series that aired before it. Spider-Man would make cameos on it.

The best series ever they ended too soon

Ice men in mcu I want

@@budgiecat2885 that’s when I became a SW fan. Too bad their version of Spidey had yellow eyes and a different voice and personality. Great effects, though.

@@westmcgee9320 Yeah Spidey was weird on that show lol

I was a loyal fan of the show.

Me too

I was a child of the 80's, I know this cartoon is way outdated to most, but at one time this was the only entertainment Marvel had to offer. Before this we had the old Hanna Barbera FANTASTIC FOUR, 60's SPIDER-MAN cartoon and that old marvel cartoon where all the characters were just still and only the mouths moved (for you old heads who remembers that old Ben Grimm cartoon? "THING RING DO YOUR THING!" what crap!!!), DC always had sum type of show on. When this premiered and the HULK cartoon premiered right afterwards...1 straight hour of Marvel, YOU KIDDING ME!!!, This is what my Saturday mornings were about, my Saturday was not complete until my SPIDEY/HULK hour was over. The best thing about SPIDEY AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS were the guest stars...who was gonna be on there this Saturday X-MEN, SUBMARINER, DR STRANGE, CAPTAIN AMERICA, SHANNA THE SHE DEVIL, SUNFIRE ,THOR,HULK(cameos by) DAREDEVIL, IRON MAN...this show was awesome! if I am correct the show only ran 24 episodes OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD, when the re-runs came on you didn't even care you re-watched it, it was always like watching it for the 1st time. When school started on Monday...the Saturday episode was all the guys could talk about. FUN TIMES :) (kids today will never have memories like that in a tv show, they will never know the feeling of Saturday morning cartoons like us old timers)

So true! I liked the old Merry Marvel shows, the Fantastic Four cartoons and the old Amazing Spider-Man show had that catchy intro. It was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends that brought in to the world of comics. To be exact, it was the X-men vs Juggernaut episode that did it! Storm and Wolverine! Favorite episode for life!!!

Yep, same here. I was 6 at the time the series started running on Saturdays and got me looking at marvel comic books

I'm familiar with Spider Man and his Amazing Friends (and the old 1967 one too) but I don't think I've seen this "regular Spider Man" mentioned, I'll have to see if I can find it .

Really?

Nah! She's girl human torch!!

@@piyakhebisonii1001 that's what I thought

She looks like comic book MJ. So I agree.

@@omarlawrence5239 yeah, it's a no brainer for someone who knows the classic John Romita version. Is identical

Me too! My love and obsession for Ice Man and Wolverine began with this show.

And the totally made the xmen look like bitches

Me too.

Me too! I was like, who are THESE guys?? Can we hang out with them smore?? And I remember feeling bad for spidey because he couldn’t join them.

Me too

I'd have ZERO issue with this! And if they can sneak Miss Lion into it, I'd be even more in support of it! :)

Oh My God! That would kinda be brilliant!!

co sign 😎

The voice of which was William Marshall (ol' Blacula himself).

Not to be racial, but Black actors add a lot to comic characters . remember Kingpin was played by Roscoe Lee Brown on TAS.

back when Juggernaut was a thespian

That "SWAAAA-A-A-A-A-ARRRMMMM" has gone through my head every time I've seen more than one bee for the last... 35 years?

That ep was kinda scary when you think about it lol Edit: That one and Video Man creeped me out for some reason...I think it was the sound he made when traveling from video game to real life

I watch the swarm episode almost once a month

I remember that episode!

@Joe Parham so its not just me huh? 😅

But as a kid I screamed she's not a X-man.

@@SvenTuSventu A Fire-Star Is Born featured the first appearance of an Australian Wolverine. lol

@@AH-yn6ip lol too true

SahAF's X-Men had one of the best versions of the danger room. And featured _Marvel's (white, villainousand very underdressed) Cyborg. He was made insane by the cybernetic implants he needed to survive an explosion which he irrationally blamed Anjelica for. But he had nonetheless slipped through the mansion's incredible security system. Only to turn it against our heroes. See you next time True Believers! Excelsior!

That was my favorite episode!!

I completely agree with you. As far as cartoon voice actors for Spider Man, to me, He is the definitive one!

Not to mention,he voiced two memorable characters who are technically superheroes based off of insects. How cool is that? :)

dude was G1 Bumblebee

I agree. He has such a distinctive voice and I too was happy to hear him In Shattered Dimensions

I was blown away by that show after watching reruns of the sixties Spiderman on Sundays in Canada.

She was a hottie, no pun intended.

Firestar, my first celebrity crush

Still do ❤

Or Earth, Wind & Fire except 'Earth, Fire and Ice'

Fire and Ice, nothing would suffice. - Robert Frost

leroypowell3 Ah yes. The Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends episode where they meet the X-Men. Featuring Wolverine and his absolutely bizarre quasi-Australian accent because apparently the show runners or the voice actor knew nothing about him (which is like...okay, but the Wolverine voice actor CAN NOT pull off an Australian accent so why tf did they go with that?! Unless...that’s what they thought Canadians sound like...?)

Yes. The episode with Juggernaut was awesome.

@@dildonius Wanna piece o' fruit? Comparing that to his X-Men voice in the 90s is crazy.

X-Men came really close. Earth’s Mightiest Hero’s & Spectacular Spider-Man were Amazing as well. Wolverine & the X-Men was also Great.

...I think they did her dirty in the comics with the way her powers were adversely affecting her health...I don't remember how that was resolved. I think she and her friends were gonna reach out to dr strange...

I think that started with the original Phoenix/Dark Phoenix saga though. I think Medusa started it in the '81 Spider-Man series. Her kiss with Spidey there. 😮

Yes her powers were microwave based, and she developed cancer, and was made infertile.😢 I think she was once part of the all-girl team The HellCats for a short time. Does anyone know where I could find some better images of Firestar? I have many pics, but few of them make sense without some context. The ones available do not make for good (PC, tablet, or mobile) wallpaper. Thanks, True Believers.

Hank Pym made her a new costume that would reverse and cure the negative effects of her powers. It didn't come up again after that.

the new one is a repainted black widow... but it looks like a new head sculpt...

Firestar looked just like Mary Jane out of costume. Was weird.

Funny you should compare Firestar to Medusa of The Inhumans, there was an episode where Firestar dressed as Medusa for a Halloween party.

First episode she was dressed as Spiderwoman for a costume party.

That was kind of unfortunate, imo. The name wouldn’t fit, it’s not consistent with her origins, and is visually not as fun. I’ve never seen someone who prefers to see microwave powers instead of flame-based powers.

"Hiya doll, wanna piece of fruit?"

You wouldn't be wrong...originally he was supposed to be an Australian Ex-pat that lived in Canada

Well, thanks to Hugh Jackman, he is now! :-)

Ginger from gilligans island was hotter and the 1st.

@@maximusareilius2262 , Ginger was Beautiful, and very high maintenance. Mary Ann was the Keeper. But Mrs. Howell is where the Money is at.

@@3DtheDESTROYER ☝🏼

One of those can’t miss things for each network.

🤔 Wow, that's interesting since I imagined all you guys ever watched over there was Paddington, Danger Mouse, and Bananaman (stuff from your neck of the woods that aired here on Nickelodeon [kids TV cable channel]).

Iceman needs to be in the ncuv

Mcu *

It was mine too.

Would love to see a Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends live action movie!

The lab was donated by Tony Stark, so perhaps he also footed the bill, or maybe he just put in a power supply while he was at it.

Worse still, they faced Morlun - someone so brutal, vicious, savage and powerful that 616-Peter chose to kill him, with no 'darker' heroes egging him on or anything other than life or death at stake. Sending Morlun after the Spider-Friends is roughly like sending Doomsday and Bane after the Super Friends or the Filmation JLA. However, he did complain about not being able to use the word 'kill' while he was in that universe.

Leave it to modern marvel!

I had forgotten that show, it would come on early in the morning, so many strange gems did, like Bogus and Sailor Moon

Wish they would stream across other apps like Philo and Hulu or even freevee

That would be the Red Skull's Nazis!
