Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends was an American animated television series produced by Marvel Productions starring established Marvel Comics characters Spider-Man and Iceman and an original character, Firestar – The Spider-Friends, they fought against various villains. It ran for three seasons of twenty-four episodes.
- Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Bobby Drake (Iceman), and Angelica Jones (Firestar) are all college students at Empire State University. After working together to defeat the Beetle and recovering the “Power Booster” he stole from Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) the trio decide to team-up permanently as the “Spider-Friends”.
They live together in Peter’s Aunt May’s home with her and a pet dog, Ms. Lion, (adopted from Firestar) a Lhasa Apso. Together, the superheroes battle various supervillains.
Some stories featured team-ups with other characters from the Marvel Universe, including Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Sunfire, and the mid-1970s X-Men.
