| + | The mighty Thor is the [[Asgard]]ian god of thunder, son of [[Odin]], and wielder of the mystical [[Uru]] hammer [[Mjolnir]]. He came to [[Earth]] where he became famous as one of the most powerful [[superhero]]es on the planet. The Thunderer became tied to the mortal [[Donald Blake]] and would transform back into the doctor if he was away from Mjolnir too long. He joined the Avengers and became one of their most famous heroes along with [[Captain America]] and [[Iron Man]], though he didn't stay when [[Ant-Man]] took command. |

| − | The show followed the life of Peter Parker as [[Spider-Man]] (voiced by [[Christopher Daniel Barnes]]). After the death of his [[Ben Parker|Uncle Ben]] ([[Brian Keith]]), Peter struggles to balance his [[superhero]] life and personal life with his [[May Parker|Aunt May]] ([[Linda Gary]] and [[Julie Bennett]]), girlfriend [[Black Cat|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]]).

| + | Once, Thor sensed a powerful threat approaching Earth. He teleported into space where he met [[Ego]], the living planet. He fought the enormous creature but was overwhelmed by his power. He sent Mjolnir to Earth to seek help and it retrieved the [[Fantastic Four]]. He teamed up with the Four to fight the planet, though [[Thing]] became jealous at the idea of anyone being stronger than him. They fought off Ego's defenses until finding a powerful thruster that the planet was using to steer to Earth. [[Mister Fantastic]] decided to seek the only one who could have built the engine that powerful, the planet eater [[Galactus]]. Thor took Mister Fantastic to the planet eater and made a deal: Galactus would battle Ego saving Earth if they could go back on their previous deal for Galactus to not destroy Earth. The two heroes reluctantly agreed and Galactus went to battle his nemesis. Galactus and Ego began a spectacular battle, but were too evenly matched. Thor used his lightning powers to charge Galactus giving him the power to destroy their foe. Thor quickly saved Thing, who had descended into Ego's core to destroy him, and the two made their peace. However, Galactus warned that he would be back. |

| − | The series came about when Marvel Comics was facing financial problems. [[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]]. |
||
| + | Later, [[Terrax]] tricked his master into coming to Earth to try to destroy him, but Galactus killed his [[Herald of Galactus|herald]]. Unfortunately, Galactus was weakened and decided to feast on Earth. Thor showed up and joined the Fantastic Four and [[Nova|Frankie Raye]] in trying to stop the giant but all were easily overpowered despite Galactus' weakened state. After [[Ghost Rider]] used his [[Penance Stare]], Frankie convinced the others to help Galactus arguing he was a force of nature rather than a fiend. Thor reluctantly agreed and Galactus was saved. The destroyer of worlds thanked the heroes and promised to not destroy Earth, while making Frankie his new herald known as Nova. |

| − | The show as a hit in the ratings. The episode {{eps|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. 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}}. |

| + | When [[Detroit]] experienced a strange gamma radiation-based virus, Doctor Blake sought the help of [[Betty Ross]], who convinced him to seek [[Bruce Banner]]. Since the only way to find Bruce was to find [[Hulk]], he became Thor and teleported to [[Mount Rushmore]] where the jade giant was fighting the [[Hulkbusters]]. Thor saved him, but the mere mention of Bruce enraged Hulk and the two fought. Thor soon realized that Hulk was too powerful even for him and was only spared when he transformed into Donald and Hulk left. Donald discovered that Bruce was Hulk and they found him so they could stop the virus. Unfortunately, Betty became sick and Bruce was kidnapped by [[Abomination]]. Donald figured Bruce was taken to the salt mines beneath the city and Thor went to save him. Thor found Hulk and convinced him not to fight by telling him of Betty. The two returned to the hospital where [[Gargoyle]] provided a cure to save her life. |
