Spider-Man: The Animated Series, also known as just simply Spider-Man is a 90s Fox animated series. It shares the same universe as X-Men: The Animated Series.
For many years, the series was the second longest-running Marvel show created, after X-Men, as well as the longest-running series based on Spider-Man until Ultimate Spider-Man in 2015.
Canon
The Marvel Universe ID for this universe is Earth-92131.
- The series focuses on Spider-Man and his alter ego Peter Parker during his college years at Empire State University. As the story begins, Peter has already gained his superpowers and is a part-time freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle. The show features most of Spider-Man's classic villains. Over the course of the series the single Peter contends with the romantic love interests of Mary Jane Watson, Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. The show also features appearances from various other Marvel superheroes[1].
Spiritual Successor
In 2014, John Semper Jr. started a website (cartoonspiderman.com) that features behind-the-scenes content, podcasts about the show in the 20th anniversary of the series. On April 16, 2016, Semper's YouTube account posted a video in which he revealed that he had written a short story following up on the series, detailing Peter finding Mary Jane, referring to the story as "an autobiographical fan-fiction" detailing how Peter and Mary Jane would have been reunited, and the video featured the returning voices of Christopher Daniel Barnes and Sara Ballantine as Spider-Man/Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Semper explained that he would be releasing this as a perk on a crowd-funding campaign for War of the Rocket Men, which would be voiced by the Spider-Man TAS voice actors.[2][3]
