Marvel to launch kiddie 'toon

An animated series. For young kids. What will they think of next?

The 6-8 set is the target audience for a new Marvel Comics-based series called "Marvel Super Hero Squad."

It will feature such well-known heroes as Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Thor, Fantastic Four and Captain America; all occupy a caricatured Super Hero City and are thrust into humorous adventures as they thwart the villainous plans of Doctor Doom, Magneto, Loki, the Abomination and others.

Marvel is in discussions with networks for the distribution of "Squad," expected to be available for broadcast in 2009. The company already has two new series -- "Wolverine and the X-Men" and "Iron Man: Armored Adventures" -- set to debut early next year on Nicktoons.


Here's a trailer for the "Wolverine and the X-Men" series.
