In {{C|China|iim}}, James Rhodes of Stark Enterprises oversees the excavation of the temple of the {{C|Mandarin|iim}}. The team is attacked by the Jade Dragons and Rhodey calls Tony Stark requesting more defenses, but Tony refuses to allow guns. Back in New York, the company's board of directors are angry at Tony for his expensive excavation as well as his secret project. When the board dismisses him, Tony becomes angry with his father who sits back letting this happen.
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]] (Allen 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]]). He would team up with the [[Fantastic Four]], the [[X-Men]] (featuring the cast of {{xm}}), [[Nick Fury]] (Phil Abbot) and [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], [[Prowler]] ([[Tim Russ]]), [[Captain America]] ([[David Hayter]]), [[War Machine]] ([[James Avery]]) and [[Iron Man]] ([[Robert Hays]], both reprising their roles from {{im}}). The show adapted stories including ''The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man'', ''[[Secret Wars]]'', and the controversial ''Clone Saga''. He even traveled to the "real world" to meet [[Stan Lee]].

Rhodey manages to raise the temple before monsoon season but the Jade Dragons attack, kill the Chinese workers, and capture Rhodey. Pepper Potts informs Tony who travels there to help. Upon arrival, his convoy is attacked and he is gravely injured. The Jade Dragons force a man named Ho Yen to heal Tony while he befriends Li Mei. The five Demon Elementals awake attacking the Jade Dragons. Howard is informed of his son's capture and that the Jade Dragons have acquired Stark weaponry. Ho Yen tells Tony of an ancient prophecy regarding the resurrection of the Mandarin before their captor, Wong Chu, shoots him. Tony and Rhodey build the a set of armor to help them escape. Wong Chu is killed by Li Mei who then recognizes the armor as the figure of the Iron Knight, who is destined to kill the Mandarin.
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]].

Arriving in America, Tony and Rhodey are confronted by S.H.I.E.L.D., who think they ran guns to the Jade Dragons. Tony thinks his father sold them out to protect the company. The two escape and sneak into Stark Tower with Pepper's help. They enter a secret vault where Tony reveals that he built dozens of armors. Tony dons an armor and sets off to stop the prophecy. He enters an underwater temple in the Atlantic Ocean confronting the Demon Elementals but he is beaten. When he returns, Tony confronts his father blaming him for the guns. Howard claims he was just protecting Rhodey but Tony points out their rocky relationship since the death of his mother.
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]]. The video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'' featured a similar story as well as the comics' ''Spider-Verse'' story. Much of the cast and crew came together again to make the animated series ''War of the Rocketmen''.
