Ranking Every Marvel Animated TV Series From Worst To Best

9. The Incredible Hulk

Believe it or not, but The Incredible Hulk may have been the darkest Marvel property of the nineties, and in that sense, the show was more than faithful to its source material. The entire first season focussed intently on delivering a story that placed the duality of Bruce Banner and the Hulk front and centre to the show's proceedings, which, in-turn, often led to a level of high-stakes drama largely absent from some of Marvel's other properties.

Indeed, the series' tragic tone was heavily anchored by a cut-and-dry fugitive storyline that condensed Banner's character to its pre-Avengers days, emphasising the isolation of the character and the Jekyll and Hyde-like themes that had inspired Stan Lee's original vision back way back in the original comic.

Things got a tad lighter when the show was renewed, with characters like She-Hulk and Rick Jones taking on bigger roles, but it was still great to watch.
