## Synopsis

Marvel's Spider-Man (2017-2020) is a United States animated superhero series created for Disney XD, produced by Marvel Animation and Adelaide Productions. Its protagonist is Peter Parker, an insecure but clever Midtown High student who gains spider-powers and must learn to become Spider-Man after a family loss. Voice actors include Patton Oswalt as Uncle Ben, Jim Cummings as the villain Hammerhead, and Alastair Duncan as Adrian Toomes, with Robbie Daymond and John DiMaggio in supporting roles. The engine of each episode is the tug between school life, a struggling young hero's responsibilities, and a rotating gallery of villains and thugs threatening New York. Over three seasons and 57 episodes of roughly 25 minutes each, the show plays as a bright, quippy, family-friendly cartoon with a comedic streak and a serialized but accessible structure. Its look is colorful, its tone upbeat and youthful, and its emotional core is a boy learning responsibility. Fans of Ultimate Spider-Man, Teen Titans and Batman: The Animated Series will find a similar blend of superhero action and teen humor, set in a bustling modern city.
