The Marvel Superheroes is an animated superhero action program. It was the first show to be based on Marvel Comics characters. Each episode was made up of three segments, with Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Prince Namor, The Sub Mariner each getting one episode a week. These episodes were composed of actual comic book panels from the stories being adapted for television, with only the mouths of the characters animated to move. It aired in syndication.
