The only nineties Spider-Man cartoon worth revisiting is obviously the one that aired on Fox Kids, but that doesn't mean fans should forget Spider-Man: Unlimited - the weird, half-sibling of that original series.

Centred around Spider-Man as he chases Venom and Carnage into a place called 'Counter Earth', Unlimited was Marvel's answer to Batman Beyond. Peter is placed in a futuristic, noir dystopia, given a new, snazzy suit, and leads a revolution alongside J. Jonah Jameson's son against a bunch of half-human, half-animal hybrids.

Needless to say, the show didn't last long, airing just a measly thirteen episodes before it was cancelled during its cliffhanger finale. It made for an interesting take on the wall-crawler though, and while it's probably the most obscure Spidey show going, one thing it did have was a brilliant aesthetic. Just look at that Spidey suit and try to say otherwise.
