10 Greatest Marvel TV Masterpieces, Ranked

Marvel’s television output stretches back to 1966 with The Marvel Super Heroes, and six decades later the company has a long list of series—animated and live-action—that many viewers consider masterful. Not every entry is flawless, but across platforms from Netflix to Disney+, Marvel has repeatedly produced shows that stand out for storytelling, character work, and craft.

The X-Men franchise fares especially well on TV: X-Men: Evolution reframed the team as teenagers at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, while X-Men: The Animated Series brought comic storylines and serious themes to a younger audience and featured memorable voice work like Cal Dodd’s Wolverine.

The revival X-Men ’97 rebuilt the magic of the 1992 series with mature storytelling, and The Spectacular Spider-Man remains a widely praised coming‑of‑age take, created by Greg Weisman and Victor Cook with Josh Keaton’s standout performance and a lasting fan movement to save the show.
