[[Avi Arad]] started [[Marvel Films Animation]] to bring characters to animation and hired [[John Semper, Jr.]] to be story editor after a previous editor failed to work out. The two clashed on the direction of the show, but Semper won after arguing that a quality show would sell toys anyways. Semper had great freedom when it came to guest stars and included characters such as [[Punisher]] ([[John Beck]]), [[Blade]] ([[James Donald Hall]]), [[Doctor Strange]] ([[John Vernon]]), and [[Madame Web]] ([[Joan Lee]]). He used season long story arcs, against direct orders since that was something not being done in a children's show. Despite being top in the ratings, the show was eventually cancelled because of a disagreement between Arad and head of [[Fox Kids]] [[Margaret Loesch]]. |

| − | Hulk and Wolverine begin battling each other. Try as he might, Wolverine is quickly overpowered by the brute's enormous strength. Just as Hulk seems to win Wolverine gets up and renews his attack. This time he moves quickly, evading Hulk's attacks, and nearly beats him. However, at that time {{C|Team X|hv}} shows up and knocks out both with {{C|Tranquilizer Dart|hv|tranquilizer darts}}. Wolverine dreams about his time with {{C|Weapon X|hv}}, starting with how the {{C|Professor|hv}} ([[Tom Kane]]) kidnapped him outside of a bar. They took him to their facility where they bonded {{C|adamantium|hv}} to his bones. The group then mentally conditioned him to do anything they ordered, such as killing a polar bear. Logan was forced onto Team X along with {{C|Deadpool|hv}} ([[Nolan North]]), {{C|Sabretooth|hv}} (Mark Acheson), and {{C|Omega Red|hv}} (Colin Murdock). However, he managed to free himself and escape while cutting off Professor's arm in the process. |

The series won a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated/Live Action/Dramatic Youth or Children's Series/Special. The show had a major impact on the comics and subsequent adaptations, most notably with the [[Venom Symbiote]]. Before, the symbiote just gave Spider-Man unlimited [[Web Fluid|webbing]]. Afterwards the comics, films, and other series included the aspect that the symbiote increased his aggressive side. In fact, the film ''Spider-Man 3'' included a recreated shot from {{eps|The Alien Costume, Part One}}. Other aspects include making [[Green Goblin]] an alternate personality to [[Norman Osborn]] who actually communicates with and demeans his other self. Additionally, the series finale featured a story of Spider-Man traveling to an alternate universe to team up with several other [[Spider-Men]] to stop an evil version of [[Spider-Carnage|himself]]. A similar story was used in the video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'', the comic story ''Spider-Verse'', and Oscar-winning film {{smitsv}}. |

| − | Back in the present, Wolverine wakes up once again in the Weapon X facility. Professor informs him that they are going to return Wolverine to the group after some more brainwashing. He also reveals that Team X was responsible for the destruction of the town as they have been hunting Hulk to make into a weapon. Later, {{C|Lady Deathstrike|hv}} ([[Janyse Jaud]]) decides to get her revenge by killing Logan and has Sabretooth seemingly kill the Professor. Wolverine tricks Deathstrike into attacking Sabretooth then escapes. He fights his way to Bruce and frees him, but learns that he has been tranquilized and cannot transform. Wolverine stabs Bruce to get his adrenaline going. Wolverine fights off Team X until Hulk makes a reappearance. Despite their mutual enemy, Hulk goes after Wolverine. Eventually each member of Team X is defeated and the facility damaged. When the facility blows up, Hulk and Wolverine decide to finish their fight. |

| − | Reviews for {{hv}} have generally been positive, often seen as one of the better direct-to-video movies. It has a 100% rating on ''Rotten Tomatoes''. It has usually fared a little better than it's {{C|Asgard|hv}}ian counterpart {{hvt}}. Critics point out the bloody, non-Saturday-morning-cartoon-show violence, excellent visuals, terrific casting, and Deadpool's humor. Though common criticisms include the lack of development in the villains, how the Weapon X story more interferes with the title fight rather than enhancing the story, and the seeming emphasis on action rather than plot. |

Spider-Man is a series that ran starting starting November 19, 1994 and ending January 31, 1998. It is the fourth to focus on the wallcrawler after Spider-Man, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. It is the second longest running series based on a Marvel Comics property after only X-Men, which exists in the same continuity.
The show followed the life of Peter Parker as Spider-Man (voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes). After the death of his Uncle Ben (Brian Keith), Peter struggles to balance his superhero life and personal life with his Aunt May (Linda Gary and Julie Bennett), girlfriend Felicia Hardy (Jennifer Hale), eventual wife Mary Jane Watson (Sara Ballantine), and best friend Harry Osborn (Gary Imhoff). He fights classic villains such as Shocker (Jim Cummings), Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Browne), Vulture (Alan Johnson and Eddie Albert), and Doctor Octopus (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) as well as then-recent characters such as Venom (Hank Azaria), Hobgoblin (Mark Hamill), and Carnage (Scott Cleverdon).

The two clashed on the direction of the show, but Semper won after arguing that a quality show would sell toys anyways. Semper had great freedom when it came to guest stars and included characters such as Punisher (John Beck), Blade (James Donald Hall), Doctor Strange (John Vernon), and Madame Web (Joan Lee). He used season long story arcs, against direct orders since that was something not being done in a children's show. Despite being top in the ratings, the show was eventually cancelled because of a disagreement between Arad and head of Fox Kids Margaret Loesch.
The show as a hit in the ratings. The episode "Day of the Chameleon" won an Annie Award for Best Individual Achievement for Writing in the Field of Animation. The series won a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated/Live Action/Dramatic Youth or Children's Series/Special.
