26 Years Ago, The Avengers’ Failed Adaptation Still Succeeded in Bringing This Beloved Roster Out of the Comics

The next Marvel Cinematic Universe series to make its way to Disney+ will be Wonder Man, which is set to release in January 2026. Only die-hard Marvel fans are likely to be familiar with Wonder Man, because he is a relatively obscure character who has appeared in very few pieces of media outside the comics. However, he played a prominent role in one infamous Marvel cartoon. Avengers: United They Stand aired on Fox Kids from 1999 to 2000, following the success of shows like X-Men: The Animated Series and Spider-Man: The Animated Series in the years prior.Despite sharing some cast and crew with those lauded cartoons, United They Stand was received very poorly, and it was canceled after a single season of 13 episodes. Today, United They Stand is typically remembered — if at all — for its inaccurate and overly complicated costumes, which were clearly designed in a failed attempt to sell action figures. Yet, for its many faults, United They Stand remains noteworthy for shining the spotlight on an oft-overlooked group of Marvel heroes.United They Stand opted for a very different lineup. The series revolved around Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Tigra, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Wonder Man and Vision. This seems like quite the random roster of heroes, and it was seen as even more bizarre back in 1999, because most of the Avengers were B-list characters prior to the advent of the MCU. Of these eight heroes, only Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch may have been familiar to casual audiences, as versions of them had previously appeared in the 1994 Iron Man cartoon.
