Spider-Woman (1979)

Cover of the complete series DVD, available from Clear Vision Ltd.

The Spider-Woman cartoon debuted two years after she did in the comics. While Spider-Woman's name, looks and powers remained identical to her paper-based counterpart, her origin and background were altered, so that she gained her powers after being bitten by a spider and then treated with an untested serum, as well as making her the editor of a magazine. The show lasted one season of 16 episodes. The entire series has been released on DVD in the UK by Clear Vision Ltd.
