'''''Fantastic Four''''' (1994-1996) was an [[The Nineties|1990s]] [[Animated Adaptation]] of [[Marvel Universe]] [[Superhero]] team the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]. Shown as part of the syndicated "Marvel Action Hour" along with ''[[Iron Man (animation)|Iron Man]]'', it was [[Retool|retooled]] for the better between the first and second seasons, gaining improved writing, much improved animation, and a much, ''much'' better (and [[Affably Evil]]) [[Doctor Doom]] voiced by [[Legacy of Kain|Simon Templeman]].
Despite these improvements, the show was sadly [[Too Good to Last]].
Like the comics themselves, the Four in this cartoon [[Crossover|would run into other Marvel superheroes]]. One episode saw the Four joining forces with [[Daredevil]], and another saw them having to fight [[Incredible Hulk|The Incredible Hulk]], who was deceived by Dr. Doom ([[Manipulative Bastard|true to form]]). They also appeared in episodes of ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'' (the three-part "Secret Wars" arc) and The Hulk's [[The Incredible Hulk (animation)|own cartoon]] (well, just the Thing; the three others went on vacation).

* [[Animation Bump]]: Season two, done by [[Philippine Animation Studio Inc]], went over a MASSIVE bump when compared to season one, it almost looks like the show was made during two different decades between seasons.

'''Doctor Doom:''' Yes, I'm so sorry to involve you in the time-worn damsel-in-distress cliche, Mrs Richards. I fear the only thing missing is the onrushing train. However, sometimes expediency outweighs originality. }}

** And probably we've seen the return of Puppet Master, and find out where he's been.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: Netflix lists its streaming of ''The Marvel Action Hour'' under [[Iron Man (animation)|Iron Man]]'s name.
