Ranking Every Marvel Animated TV Series From Worst To Best

3. The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Okay, so, you know how I mentioned that people were kind of a bit upset about Avengers Assemble, and that the show as a whole was a bit naff? Well, this was the show that it replaced; a bonafide bonanza of Marvelite mayhem supplemented with an awesome roster of heroes that changed on the fly and somehow found a way to improve even when the fans had thought it peaked.

That 'bonafide bonanza', as you've most likely already guessed, was Earth's Mightiest Heroes. A show that wore its roots on its sleeve and compounded them with an uncanny awareness for what made the Marvel Universe so compelling in the first place, EMH took characters like Iron Man, Cap, Hulk and Wasp and turned them into a brilliant family unit - one that would keep on growing (and occasionally subsiding) all the way up until the show's (yep, say it with me) premature cancellation.

The series followed Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they attempted to contain the fallout following a mass break-out from four of the world's premier facilities for super-villain incarceration. Crimefighting ensues (as well as some origin stories along the way), as they hop across the cosmos fighting demigods, evil corporations and, in one particularly brilliant encounter, even The Masters of Evil. Like its contemporaries, EMH took full advantage of the Marvel license, wasting no time at all in peppering the series with some really good guest stars, including Wolverine, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Galactus and - the coolest of all - Beta Ray Bill.

No, seriously. Beta Ray Bill. That guy. He's totally a thing.

Anywho, Earth's Mightiest Heroes is brilliant. The whole 'two season only' thing kind of blows but hey, it's something all true believers can enjoy if they get the chance to watch it.
