The story of teenager Peter Parker being bitten by a radioactive spider thus turning him into Spider-Man has been beloved since his creation.

With this love for the character came video games, live-action movies, and, of course, animated shows for each generation to enjoy over the decades. There has been a Spider-Man animated series almost every decade since the 1960s with many different styles and writing.

10 Spider-Man’s Iconic 1967 Animated Series Is Fondly Remembered By Fans And Frequently Referenced In Movies

The Web-Head’s first swing onto the screen came in the form of this fun show for kids. It left its place in history with its cheesy adventures, animation that has sparked the creation of thousands of memes, and an iconic theme song that almost every Spider-Man live-action movie references at some point.

Without this show, fans possibly wouldn’t have gotten the movies or any other animated shows that followed. It may be dated but it still holds a special place in the hearts of many fans. It even made a quick cameo in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’s post-credit scene.

9 Spider-Man Got A New Short-Lived Series In 1981 That Featured A Number Of Guest Stars

This series was one that seemed to just fly under the radar since it only lasted twenty-two episodes before being canceled. Much like the original series, it has many dated elements about it like the cheesy writing and the animation that was nearly identical to He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe.

However, it was ahead of its time due to having guest star appearances by other Marvel heroes and villains including Captain America, Namor, and Doctor Doom. This series set the stage for follow-ups like Spider-Woman and the web-crawler’s next animated series.

8 1981’s Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends Teamed The Hero Up With Firestar And Iceman

With the same production and animation team came this series which put Spider-Man in a small team of heroes featuring Iceman from the X-Men and Firestar. Since the solo series experimented with the idea of more Marvel characters, this one goes all out with guest characters.

This show lasted three seasons with only twenty-four episodes. It was a success and even to this day, there are fans who go back and rewatch the series with a smile. It is now available for at-home streaming on Disney+ alongside many other Spider-Man shows.

7 Spider-Man: The Animated Series First Aired In 1994 And Quickly Became A Fan-Favorite Series

The original 1967 series may have been the one that started it all but the show that many consider the best Spider-Man show ever made is the ’90s reboot. With impressive animation for the time, respect & care given to nearly every character, more action, and darker storylines, Spider-Man (1994) was yet another success for the Marvel animated universe that began with X-Men.

Spider-Man would span across five seasons and would be the longest-running Spider-Man animated show ever made until another entry beat it years later. After this, the Marvel universe would expand with shows like The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man.

6 Spider-Man Unlimited Debuted In 1999 With A New High-Tech Suit In A Cyberpunk-Inspired World

Spider-Man Unlimited was a follow-up to the previous series in which Peter Parker follows Venom and Carnage to a new cyberpunk Earth to stop them and save J. Jonah Jameson’s son. It only lasted one season with thirteen episodes and it shows why: the animation is actually worse than the previous series.

The design for Spider-Man’s new cyberpunk suit was also not well received, and the whole show just felt underwhelming. It was an obvious attempt to capitalize on the popular cyberpunk superhero at the time (Batman Beyond) leading to many fans agreeing it probably would have worked better if it was Spider-Man 2099.

5 2003’s Spider-Man: The New Animated Series Followed The 2002 Live-Action Movie And Featured 3D Animation

Putting a superhero series for the family on MTV was a terrible decision which led to very few people actually knowing that this show existed. Those that actually did see the series did not last seeing how the show features the ugliest 3D animation style that does not serve the setting well.

A shame because Neil Patrick Harris and Michael Clarke Duncan really put effort into their performances and the writing is on-point most of the time. The animation was just so hard to look at. The show’s low performance resulted in cancelation after one season.

4 The Spectacular Spider-Man Debuted In 2008 With Modernized Villains But Classic Stories

When it comes to Spider-Man shows, the 1994 series is often in competition with The Spectacular Spider-Man for best-animated adaptation for fans: it featured many of the same qualities that made that series so good. It had gorgeous animation and adapted many iconic storylines from the comics in their own distinct ways, with great performances from the voice actors.

Unfortunately, due to rights issues, the beloved series was canceled after two seasons. At least the creators got to go on and make DC’s Young Justice which also originally got canceled after two seasons only to be revived over ten years later.

3 2012’s Ultimate Spider-Man Turned The Web-Slinger Into A Team Leader Across Four Seasons

Despite the title of the show, this series is not about Miles Morales; it is about Peter Parker only and he’s been given an upgrade by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as a team of superheroes including Luke Cage, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Nova. Later on, this Spider-Man would crossover with Avengers Assemble.

The show mixed action with a lot of fourth-wall breaking and jokes which led to a mixed reception. This didn’t stop the series from lasting four very long seasons across five years, making it the longest-running Spider-Man series ever.

2 Marvel’s Spider-Man First Aired In 2017 With Reimagined Characters And A Focus On Science

With a new Spider-Man movie series starting in the same year, another animated Spider-Man reboot was inevitable. This Spider-Man series focuses on, yet again, Peter Parker as he’s balancing being Spider-Man and attending a special high-tech school for genius kids.

With many new and familiar aspects, the series is still going with its third season retitling the show Spider-Man: Maximum Venom. The inclusion of the many Spider-People as main characters was appreciated but the cheap animation had some fans shrugging at the show.

1 2021’s Spidey And His Amazing Friends Is A Pre-School Series Starring His Modern Allies

Serving as the spiritual successor to the fan-favorite series from the ’80s, Spidey and His Amazing Friends premiered on Disney Jr. in 2021. The family-friendly series is geared toward young ages and features Peter Parker/Spider-Man alongside his modern team of Web-Warriors like Miles Morales/Spin (renamed for the series) and Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider.

The series launched with web episodes called Meet Spidey and His Amazing Friends that introduced the cast of heroes like Spider-Man’s drone Trace-E and his super-computer Web-ster, along with villains like Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus.
