In 1994, Marvel Entertainment Group produced "The Marvel Action Hour," a one-hour animation block that aired on Saturday mornings, and featured "Iron Man" and "The Fantastic Four."
"Iron Man" chronicled the adventures of billionaire Tony Stark and his armored alter-ego battling the forces of evil led by the nefarious Mandarin. Other heroes accompanied Iron Man in his adventures: War Machine, Hawkeye, Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter), Scarlet Witch, and the alien Century. The team was inspired by the comic book "Force Works," which also launched in 1994.

The Mandarin was not alone either: Dreadknight, Blizzard, Hypnotia, Grey Gargoyle, and MODOK, among others, served him as minions, and helped him make Iron Man’s life miserable.

Each episode presented a 26-minute adventure with a brief introduction by Stan Lee. The Rainbow Animation Group was in charge of the production during the show's first season; Koko Enterprises took over on the second year. A toy line and a comic book series complemented the program. A total of 26 episodes were produced, until the show was cancelled at the end of its second season in 1996.
