	Movies - Marvel Super Heroes

Marvel Super Heroes was an animated television series produced in 1966 by Grantray-Lawrence Animation which featured adaptations of several comic books by Marvel Comics.

The characters featured included:

Captain America
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man
The Mighty Thor
Sub-Mariner
The X-Men - The original X-Men line-up (Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, and Marvel Girl) made an appearance in one of the Sub-Mariner episodes (the first part of Doctor Doom's Day). The story was essentially an adaption of a Fantastic Four storyline. But since, Grantray-Lawrence Animation didn't have the rights to the Fantastic Four, they subsituted them with the X-Men. Interestingly enough, the X-Men were never referred to as the X-Men. They were instead, referred to as Allies for Peace. The characters kept their original looks and individual names from the comics though.

Owing to the short production time available before the new season, the animation was produced by xerography. The animation consisted of photocopied images taken directly from the comics in question and manipulated to minimize the need for animation as much as possible.

Animation fans condemned the production as shoddy and cut rate while others defended it by noting that the series used the original stories largely in their entirity.
