spider man unlimited Western Animation / Spider-Man Unlimited. Spider-Man Unlimited is an animated television series, running from October 1999 to March, 2001 on Fox Kids. A total of 13 episodes, it was a sequel series of sorts to Spider-Man: The Animated Series . It sees Peter Parker forced to go to another "Counter" Earth after John Jameson’s ship gets attacked by Venom and Carnage and as per Spidey’s luck, the hero gets blamed for it. After "borrowing" a suit made of nano-machines, Spider-Man goes to Counter-Earth to rescue Jameson and clear his name. Upon getting to Counter-Earth, Spider-Man discovers that a tyrant called the High Evolutionary has made himself at home and created Beast Men that run the planet, and normal humans are treated like second class citizens. Along the way, he discovers that John Jameson is alive and well, leading a rebellion against the High Evolutionary; that Venom and Carnage came to the planet with the intent of conquering it; and that the planet has some vastly different versions of his old foes. Ultimately, the show was canceled after the airing of the first few episodes, and its story arc was never resolved. There was also a short-lived (5 issues, with an "issue .5" prequel) tie-in comic, which, after retelling some of the cartoon's first episodes, expanded Spidey's explorations into the strange new world of Counter-Earth. It was released on DVD in UK in 2010.

Spider-Man Unlimited (TV Series) Spider-Man Unlimited is the loosely connected sequel series to Spider-Man and part of the Marvel Animated Universe. The series aired thirteen episodes starting October 2nd, 1999 and ending March 31st, 2001. It is the fifth series to focus on Spider-Man after Spider-Man , Spider-Man , Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends , and Spider-Man . The series was created as part of a contracting issue between Marvel Entertainment and Fox Kids in order to continue airing episodes of Spider- Man . When Sony Pictures Entertainment got the film and animation rights for the character, the series faced significant development issues. While fulfilling the contractual obligations, the series went on to become one of the most criticized and poorly received Marvel animated series. It has the distinction of being the last Marvel series started in the 20th Century to air. While The Avengers: United They Stand premiered after Unlimited , delays in airing caused this series to finish airing after. Contents. Background. Producer Will Meugniot explained that the show was created because both Marvel Entertainment and Fox Kids needed another Spider-Man series to fulfill contractual obligations. If Fox produced another season of a Spider-Man show they could continue airing episodes of Spider-Man for an undisclosed amount of time. The initial goal was to make an extremely low budget adaptation of the early issues of The Amazing Spider-Man and the show began production with that in mind. The idea was to have Saban Entertainment crudely animate thirteen of the first twenty-six classic comics, a technique known today as Motion Comics and similar to the old The Marvel Super Heroes series. This would have provided the additional season as cheaply as possible. [1] However, Marvel and Sony Pictures Entertainment made a deal for a live-action film, which included their own series to use the same source as the film. As such, the show was unable to use the early comics or even the classic costume. This series would be able to use Spider-Man/Peter Parker but none of his supporting characters or stories. [2] The producers toyed with Spider-Man 2099 for about a week but realized that Batman Beyond had more or less appropriated that property's territory. Still needing a series while Marvel had some characters that needed to be animated, Marvel gave them a list of what they wanted in the series. Elements included on Marvel's "shopping list" include Counter-Earth, the Knights of Wundagore, John Jameson, Deathlok, Venom, and others. Michael Reaves and Meugniot came up with the show's story and the Counter-Earth setting to accommodate Marvel's needs. Meugniot's initial pitch for this concept was that Spider-Man would arrive on Counter-Earth and look for a way to get home. However, he would find that Uncle Ben had not been killed on this world and the local Spider-Man would not have resisted becoming Venom. Meugniot came up with it over a "long" weekend on February 17th, 1999. He felt this helped to reinforce the Spider-Man legend. Everyone on staff liked this pitch and went into production. However, someone at Marvel freaked out upon hearing this as the producers interpreted the bad reaction to the Clone Saga that there was two Peter Parkers. The series was then in production without any core story. The show could not have been a direct continuation of Spider-Man so that Fox could continue airing the previous show's episodes. [4] Avi Arad banked a lot of the series. He had hoped for several miniseries based on Spider-Man and even had one planned called Spider-Man 2001 . Story. John Jameson, son of J. Jonah Jameson, leaves on a one-man space mission to Counter-Earth. However, both Venom and Carnage board the ship. Contact is lost with Jameson and Spider-Man is blamed by the media and the public. Eventually he is believed to be dead and Peter Parker then travels to Counter-Earth with a whole new suit. Upon arriving Peter finds the High Evolutionary, a human tired of humanity, and bestials, hybrids of humans and animals, are the dominant species. Jameson has teamed up with a revolutionary group of humans who are tired of being second class citizens. Jameson refuses to return to Earth until the High Evolutionary is overthrown. Until Jameson's cause is won Peter must try his best to blend into the society along with defeating bestial versions of Spider-Man's rogue gallery along with Venom and Carnage. Continuity. While not originally meant as a sequel to Spider-Man , the series did contain several continuity references. Most notably, the premiere episode "Worlds Apart, Part One" used the earlier show's theme song to introduce Spider-Man. The most obvious example of issues between the series is the origin of Carnage. In Spider-Man Baron Mordo and Dormammu return the Venom Symbiote and the Carnage spawn to Earth. When Eddie Brock rebonds with the Venom symbiote fellow prisoner Cletus Kasady is given the Carnage spawn. In Spider-Man Unlimited Spider-Man didn't separate the symbiote and Brock and Venom was held by S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Kasady, who was later given the Carnage symbiote. There is no mention of Mordo or Dormammu. The symbiotes' powers also seem to be radically changed. They are able to radically alter their body composition, shape, and altering their body's format. Spider-Man notes this in the first episode but there is no explanation. Also of note, in Spider-Man Mary Jane Watson, Venom, and Carnage are lost in other dimensions yet there is no mention of these events or their resolutions. The series starts off with Peter Parker and Mary Jane together, implying though not directly stating that Madame Web reunited the two, he revealed his identity, and at least began dating again.

Jonah Jameson John Payne John Jameson Tasha Simms Lady Ursula David Sobolov Lord Tyger Dale Wilson Machine Men Electro X-51 Jim Byrnes Fire Drake Garry Chalk Meugniot Paul Dobson The Hunter Mark Gibbon Nick Fury. Jennifer Hale previously voiced Spider-Man's love interest Black Cat/Felicia Hardy. Mr. Meugniot was originally going to be spelled Mineo. It was changed to be named after writer-producer Will Meugniot. Episodes. The series lasted thirteen episodes and, like Silver Surfer , ended on a cliffhanger. Coincidentally, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series similarly lasted thirteen episodes and also ended on a cliffhanger. Comics. From December 1999 to April 2000, Marvel Comics published five issues of Spider-Man Unlimited based on the series, unrelated to the series of the same name from 1993. The first two issues directly translated the first three episodes of the series. The subsequent issues followed new stories that were based on Counter-Earth stories from the original comics. In the third issue, he encounters Brute, the Counter-Earth version of Reed Richards and learns that a similar experiment to the one that created the Fantastic Four changed this world's Reed, left Ben Grimm unaffected, killed Johnny Storm, and left Sue Richards in a coma. In issue four, he has Green Goblin help him leave Manhattan where he finds a place known as Harmony where humans and Bestials living together in harmony. However, it's actually a police state that he barely escapes from thanks to Gwen Stacy. In the fifth and final issue, there is a serial killer who is killing people by digging out the subdermal chip when he encounters a version of Wolverine. He and Wolverine fight the Chameleon. Peter then discovers that Wolverine is Naoko's husband and Shane's father. Cancellation. The show was vastly overshadowed by the anime Pokémon , which began airing at the same time and garnered far higher ratings. The series had been doing well on its own, pulling in mid-to-high 3.0 ratings, airing against Pokemon . Despite only airing three episodes, the series was put on a two-month hiatus following "Where Evil Nests", where one month later it was announced that the series was being cancelled. Rick Ungar, who had then recently been named president of the newly formed Marvel Character Group making him responsible for Marvel's television animation projects, stated that Fox needed to devote more time to shows that could compete with Pokemon . Fox Kids had been in fourth place the previous year behind Kids' WB, Nickelodeon, and ABC but had managed to move back up to third. Fox kept shuffling the shows around the times, putting The Avengers: United They Stand in this show's slot, with the programming changing from week to week with only Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century , Digimon , and Beast Machines: Transformers maintaining their timelots. Without a steady timeslot, audiences had a difficult time watching it week-to-week. [5] Between Marvel's bankruptcy problems, the comparatively low ratings, and the fact that it fulfilled the thirteen-episode contract need the series was not picked up for further episodes. Although the first season ended on a cliffhanger and several scripts were written for a second, no more came from the series. Reception. Fans of Spider-Man and of the Spider-Man comics in general were disappointed. They felt that the show tried to be closer to the comic books but became bogged down with being on an alien planet. On a positive note, many noted that the visuals were very appealing. Influence. The suit from the series was included in the 2000 Spider-Man video game. It's special ability allowed players to become invisible. During the major comic book event Spider-Verse , an alternate version of this series was included. In one issue, the main villain Morlun goes to a world similar to this series' Counter-Earth and snaps the neck of an alternate version of Spider-Man wearing the same costume seen here. However, it is stated that it is not the world seen in this show. The storyarc did crossover with Spider-Man , Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends , and Ultimate Spider-Man . The story also had a tie-in video game titled Spider-Man Unlimited though it refers to the game being an unlimited running game. Home Video. The series never received a full home video release on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray due to various rights issues and low demand. It will be included as part of The Walt Disney Company's streaming service Disney+. [7] Peter Parker (Earth-751263) Afterwards he still continued working at the Daily Bugle and while covering John Jameson's launch to Counter-Earth he spotted Venom and Carnage boarding the shuttle. Quickly Peter changed into his classic suit and fights the two symbiotes. In the end, Spider-Man fails to stop Venom and Carnage and is blamed when Jameson's ship is supposedly sabotaged and destroyed. The public begins to hunt the wall-crawler and was believed to be dead when rumble fell on him from a burning building. Peter Parker returns to Mary Jane and while he recovers Peter discovers that Jameson is still alive on Counter-Earth. Peter steals a Wrist Morpher from Reed Richards which utilizes nano-technology allowing him to change into his new suit in seconds. [2] Spider-Man sneaks aboard another shuttle headed for Counter-Earth, with Peter Parker supposedly along to document his adventures. Spider- Man succeeds, but soon crashes on Counter-Earth and after the battle with the High Evolutionary's Machine Men and the Knights of Wundagore, Spider-Man is rescued by the Resistance and eventually finds his way to John Jameson, now fighting alongside the Resistance against the High Evolutionary. Unfortunately, a battle erupts when their base is uncovered by the Knight Lady Vermin. A fight ensues between humans and beastials. Soon, Venom and Carnage arrive and after a fierce struggle, Spider-Man uses his sonics to drive the symbiotes away. After a debate between Spider-Man, Jameson, and Karen O'Malley, Spider-Man decides to join Jameson and the Resistance. Karen hands Spider-Man a bag with all sorts of luggage inside and Spider-Man web-slings away. Later, Peter Parker in his new clothes finds a child being attacked by a Machine Man, he saves him and in return for saving Shayne, the mother's son Naoko Yamada-Jones gives Peter a free room for two weeks. Peter Parker thanks her and sits down and says he promises to get back to Mary Jane. Peter Parker eventually finds work as a photographer at the Daily Byte and begins to make money like he used too on his Earth.
