Other Universes
There have been several other attempts to make multi-series universes.
The first animated universe was the Marvel Productions Universe consisting of Spider-Man, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and The Incredible Hulk. Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends used clips and ideas originating in Spider-Man. Additionally, actor Michael Bell voiced Doctor Octopus on Spider-Man and Amazing Friends and The Incredible Hulk.
The next was Ultimate Avengers and its sequel Ultimate Avengers II.
Christopher Yost created a large multi-series universe. The universe was comprised of Wolverine and the X-Men, Hulk vs Wolverine, Hulk vs Thor, Thor: Tales of Asgard, and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Marvel Anime: Wolverine, Marvel Anime: Iron Man, Marvel Anime: X-Men, and Marvel Anime: Blade were connected in the Marvel Anime Universe.
Most recently, Marvel Animation created their own universe with Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and Guardians of the Galaxy.
