I was thinking about the Japanese Spiderman show vs the US version earlier today and I realized that I can't remember him battling any super-foes on the live action show. The only one I can remember that came close was when Peter Parker was cloned. All the other episodes had Spidey up against albanian drug cartels or deranged millionaires or some such thing.
Hulk was the same way. David Banner was a drifter who attracted trouble, but it was always in the guise of regular folks. Aside from the awful, but at times hilarious, Hulk/Thor TV special. I can't think of the green goliath smacking fists with any superbaddies.
Wonder Woman - same thing. She was always on the lookout for some spys or some other government subterfuge.
In contrast, the Japanese version of Spiderman roughed it up with some glorified rubbersuit monster every week. Usually getting his keister whupped and having to call on the valiant Marveller/Leopardon to beat the baddie.
At least Jamie Sommers battled a bionic bigfoot and some fembots, but she really was not in the canon of Marvel superhero TV star.
Is my memory faulty (very good possibility). Did any of the 70s superduper folks battle superduper enemies in the live action series or did they keep the fx at a minimum and just use thugs?
