Firestar predates Harley Quinn as the only character to ever be made for a comic book cartoon first, before being written into regular comic continuity later

"Tony Stark set them up with their James Bond-style headquarters." Hmm, sounds a lot like how MCU Peter and Tony get along in Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

You definitely should consider a look at the 1982 Incredible Hulk animated series. I still have a huge fondness for that show.

Was blown away when I heard there were only 24 episodes. Seemed like there were more as a kid.

With that poppin' body, who can blame those dudes for being hot on the trail of Firestar

I loved this cartoon as a kid. It was a bug reason as to why spiderman was, and to this day remains, one of my favorite superheroes. Also, my crush on Firestar definitely influenced my love of redheads! 😊

Ever notice Bobby and Angelica look like comic book Flash Thompson and Mary Jane?

Firestar still hasn't been given the live action treatment.

I loved Ice Man’s transformation. It was great to see him do the same in the feature films and create his slide!

Great video. Used to watch Spider-Man and his Amazing friends all the time as a kid back in the 80's. This was a FUN cartoon that I pretty much looked forward to on Saturday Mornings.

I remember seeing this show back in the 90s on UPN on sundays. Always thought it was awesome. I really like how the X-Men made cameos in the show.

Despite the criticisms, this cartoon sounds really fun to watch - like you said, back when comics were actually fun! I'd love to see this series!

This one of my favorites growing up as a child of the 80's, its also the first time I had heard Stan Lee's voice. . . . . it made me a True believer . . . Thanks for the memories Stan . . EXCELSIOR!

Here's the thing. You can't watch this show with the same preordained mind after watching newer incarnations. If you're late to the party. In order to enjoy this, you have to be receptive to its charm and silliness. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends was created during an era with different standards and narrative than what we have now. Take it for what it is.
