Y'know, I think that's very neat because Spider-Man is way cooler than whoever those guys were, like, I could ask my mom if she knows Spider-Man, and she'd say yes because she used to purchase large amounts of merchandise for me as a kid, but if I asked her who Namor was, she'd be pretty fucking confused.  This show had lots of characters from the comics and even some original characters like Dr. Noah Boddy...
