''The Marvel Super Heroes'' was a syndicated animated series aired in 1966 based on five Marvel Comics characters. Each day of the week, a different hero would be featured in an episode: Captain America on Monday, Hulk on Tuesday, Iron Man on Wednesday, Thor on Thursday, and Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner on Friday. The series was produced in very limited animation that basically consisted of comic panels photocopied onto cels with added movement to certain body parts. | ''The Marvel Super Heroes'' was a syndicated animated series aired in 1966 based on five Marvel Comics characters.
