Show: Iron Man (1994)

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.

Iron Man and his allies

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.

The Mandarin

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.

"A Brave New World"

After the events of Doomsday Clock #12, in which Doctor Manhattan's interference in the metaverse caused one more shift in Superman's timeline, a new iteration of the DC Universe was created. In this new reality, Wonder Woman was the world's first Super-Hero, making her debut in Queens NY, in the year 1939. Diana of Themyscira made her presence known after saving the life of President Franklin D. Roosevelt from an assassination attempt, thus inspiring the first generation of Super-Heroes with her bravery and awe for humanity.
