90's cartoon? Why you're just a baby.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends version of the X-Men are the true classic animated version.

Look, Wolverine was born like 200 years ago, people were shorter back then. Everybody knows that. But after all that time his secondary mutation kicked in and now he's average height for an adult male.

OK, I'll say it if no-one else will. The Pryde Of The X-Men theme is better than the 90's one. Plus it led to the arcade game by Konami.

(I also like that the one thing that stayed consistent between one and the other cartoon was the need for a teen audience surrogate, but the change of the guard in the comics meant we got Kitty Jr AKA Jubilee when it finally happened)

Rogue was a good Shadowcat 2.0. It's a better origin then she has in the comics.Granted, I might be biased because Kid Me may or may not have also crushed slightly on Evolution Rogue and the whole southern goth thing she had going on.

Evolution was the main X-Men when I was a kid, but I don't think there was a Spider-Man at the time aside from reruns of 90s Spider-Man, and I agree there. The spider sense sound was iconic, too.

Barnes is definitely the voice I hear when I read Spider-Man dialogue; I decide whether or not Spidey dialogue (at least in 616) is any good based on whether I can imagine Barnes saying it.

And, of course, he has strong feelings on Shocker and Shocker's escaping abilities which I find myself hard-pressed to disagree with.

Agreed. Garfield's the only other dude who has really come close to capturing the voice for me, though I should probably give NPH another shot.

Isn't part of the reason for Agents of SMASH because Loeb gets a royalty check whenever Red Hulk gets used?

The day I learned I could get a classic Spidey skin with Barnes' voiceover for Marvel Heroes was a good day.

Barnes the classic, but I also liked the guy in Spectacular. 60's Spider-Man is weird to me because he sounds way too grown up.

At least Unlimited gave us the cloaking costume for the 64-bit Spider-Man game, therefore contributing more value to the creative spider-realm than MTV did.

In retrospect, the X-Men cartoon was pretty amazing for Marvel universe cameos. For example, Jean becomes Dark Phoenix and flies off into space, you get reaction shots from Thor, Dr Strange, the Watcher and Eternity. Bishop spends four episodes trudging through Limbo being hassled by the janitor, who turns out to be Immortus in his final scene, completely without context. There's a flashback to show how Garrokk ended up getting turned into Zardoz, and it's pretty much just the High Evolutionary landing beside him, shooting him with a beam, and flying away.

I'm 99% sure you see a shot of Spider-man webbing something at some point, too. The FF cartoon had similar cameos, such as Thor and Ghost Rider showing up out of nowhere to fight Galactus, and an entire episode about The Hulk. Spider-man continued the trend with guest appearances by Blade, Punisher, Iron Man, an X-men 2-parter, the FF during the show's version of Secret Wars, an episode about Captain America and the All-Winners squad... the marvel animated universe was jam-packed.

Hell, I think the Magus showed up in a flashback in a Silver Surfer episode once.

Captain Britain and the Black Knight are also randomly shown in one of those shows. Marvel had a weirdly interconnected animated universe before DC, as the Hulk, Iron Man, FF, X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons all kinda crossed over.
