We take you back to Saturday mornings in the 90s with the Marvel Action Hour and Iron Man The Animated Series! Rob and Will explore Marvel's attempts to become a “mini-Disney” in the Nineties, how they merged with huge toy company ToyBiz, founded an animation studio and how Marvel ended up OWNING TV stations all across America! We'll also learn that the Nineties were a time when Iron Man wasn't exciting enough to front a series on his own, so Marvel packed the cartoon with FORCE WORKS, an extreme version of The Avengers that featured Hawkeye, Spider-Woman and Wanda!
