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.

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}}. |

− | Inside Adam's Soul Gem embedded in his head, the two teams meet and formally introduce each other. Star-Lord explains that Michael was abducted by the Kree and experimented on, which unlocked something in him that gave him incredible powers. Michael destroyed the Kree ship then later destroyed an innocent space station and most of the nearby planet. The Guardians realized that Michael was too powerful to defeat physically, and their only hope is to trap him in the Soul Gem. Michael returns to Central Park with Corrina and Ms. Marvel. When he's about to kill the Kree-powered heroine, the Guardians and Avengers appear. Even their combined might is not enough to combat Michael, and the plan to trap him fails. When both teams are once again knocked out, Corrina explains that she is afraid of Michael. Realizing that he pushed away the one thing he wanted in all the universe, Michael disappears in the flash of light to somewhere even Adam cannot sense. Iron Man asks Star-Lord to compare notes, but the Guardian warns about {{C|Galactus|aemh|dangers in the universe}} the Avengers are better off not knowing about. Out in space, Michael is alone among the cosmos. |
