I always found her backstory to be very touching, specially her relationship with her father.

[@MADABOUTSUPERHEROES]

I agree. Thanks for checking out my commentary. 👍

Always found it funny that while the X Men and Firestar and Iceman are partying, Spider-Man is 5 blocks away getting manhandled by the Juggernaut, and this was not long after they denied him from attending their party. Bro is doing their jobs for them while they have fun. It isn't until Juggernaut breaks into their house do they attempt to stop him

Spiderman and His Amazing Friends was one of my all time favorite cartoons while growing up. I remember when it was in full syndication back in the mid 80s, I would get up between 5:30 and 6:00am on Saturday mornings just to make sure I wouldn’t miss an episode. I look back now and think, damn that was some dedication! Now as a grown adult I would never get up that early on a Saturday unless I absolutely have for some kind of engagement. With that being said, my favorite episodes of the series is definitely all three origin story episodes for each character. I especially like Spider-Man’s origin story episode titled Along Came Spidey. Not only do they do a good job of retelling Spidey’s origin but throughout the episode the gang battles Shocker while Peter narrates and explains his origin. Spiderman and His Amazing Friends was a very cool cartoon and I’m just glade that it’s available to stream on Disney+. Anyways, great video and I look forward to seeing more of your content! Take care!

The Spider friends really left a mark on the 80s. Thanks so much for sharing your memories. I really appreciate your kind comment and your support of the channel. 😉👍

William Marshall the actor that played Blacula in the 70’s movie of the same title voiced the Juggernaut.

Cool bit of trivia Terry. Thanks so much for sharing and for checking out my video commentary 👍

Seeing this cartoon when it first aired was my first introduction to the X-men

[@MADABOUTSUPERHEROES]

You and me both. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment. 😉

Firestar is actually one of my favourite marvel heroes ever, her powers, her look and everything i just love. Realy proves that limitations breeds creativity. Im also realy glad what they did with her in the comics too 😊 Amazing vid too

[@MADABOUTSUPERHEROES]

@@AquaFan1998 Thanks for the kind words pal 😉 I've been a fan of Firestar ever since she first appeared in Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. As I mentioned before, I was thrilled with her inclusion on the 1990s comic book The New Warriors.

They need to bring these three back together in live action. Ms. Lion too! They all had chemistry that was through the roof and were funny throughout.

[@MADABOUTSUPERHEROES]

I agree Optimus. When Spidey goes to College in live action he should meet Angelica and Bobby. That would be so cool. Thanks for checking out my video and for taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it 🙏👍

Whatever happened to that crazy Bonnie ? My theory is that her parents were already fed up with her bratty behavior and after she was expelled from school, they enrolled her in military school.

[@MADABOUTSUPERHEROES]

@@aidanhever3369 good theory 👍

[@danielleclark1796]

They also cut her off from her allowance.

@aidanhever3369 Bonnie should have been less of a bully, lying about others and starting to treat actually how she wants to be treated. But , no. She did all of this to herself.

[@aidanhever3369]
