When audiences think about Spider-Man, there’s a high chance that Tobey Maguire from Sam Raimi’s legendary trilogy is what comes to mind. At the same time, it's even likelier that audiences don't picture a cape, a rebel in a societal sci-fi war, or a space traveler when they think about Spider-Man. However, these odd ingredients are in fact Peter Parker's defining characteristics in Spider-Man Unlimited; not the game, not the comic, but a 1999 animated series that had more problems than it did viewers. Across nearly 60 years of Spider-Man film and television, Unlimited doubtlessly stands as the character's weakest outing. Coincidentally, it’s almost entirely due to one of his strongest efforts, 2002’s Spider-Man feature film, that destroyed any chance tht Spider-Man Unlimited had at finding success.
