Season 1[edit]

Prior to the beginning of the series, the villainous Doctor Doom, in pursuit of universal
domination, attempts to acquire the limitless reality-bending power of the "Infinity Sword." He is
stopped by Iron Man, but as a consequence of their battle, the sword is shattered into numerous
"fractals" that rain down on Super Hero City.
Doctor Doom has forged alliances with just about every super-villain forming the Lethal Legion in
order to hunt down the scattered fractals, each of which possess dangerous and different powers
of their own. Doom's forces, including his two primary henchmenMODOK (whose appearance
seems to have been altered from the original version) and the Abomination, dwell in Villainville,
which is separated from Super Hero City by a giant wall that is directly seen at the start of the
series premiere. Once again opposing Doom's plan is Iron Man, now leading the elite team
known as the Super Hero Squad, consisting of himself, the Falcon, the Hulk, the Silver
Surfer, Thor, and Wolverine. Their signature battle cry is, "All right, Squaddies, time to hero up!"
Marvel initially intended to putSpider-Man in at least one episode of the show, but Sony Pictures
Entertainment (then-owners of Spider-Man's television rights) appears to have chosen not to
allow it. However, Spider-Man appeared in Marvel Super Hero Squad's video games and other
tie-ins.
The Super Hero Squad is headquartered in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, and are frequently aided
in their defense of Super Hero City by their boss Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D. leader Ms.
Marvel, rookie "Squaddie" and Wolverine's apprentice Reptil, and many more of their superhero
friends.
By the end of the first season, the Infinity Sword is reforged when Galactus arrives to devour the
Earth. It is later revealed that the Infinity Sword can be wielded only by someone who wields The
Infinity Gauntlet. The Silver Surfer rejoins Galactus as his Herald and leaves the team with the
Infinity Sword in his possession. As of the aftermath of the battle, Villainville is destroyed, and his
henchmen are arrested, except for Doom, who flees.

Season 2[edit]
A second season focuses on traveling to different parts of the Marvel Universe, the galaxy,
different dimensions, and through time.Thanos becomes the main antagonist for the first half of
the season, as he will seek the six Infinity Stones in order to prove his superiority to Nebula and
gain supremacy over the universe. He does eventually gain all six Infinity Stones.
The squad's roster was changed in the season, due to Silver Surfer leaving the cast to once
again become a herald of Galactus. Scarlet Witch[1] replaces Surfer, with original squad members
Iron Man, Hulk, Falcon, Wolverine and Thor returning. Thor receives his "chain armor" as a gift
from his father Odin in the episode "Support your Local Sky-Father".
In the second half of Season Two, the Silver Surfer (who was corrupted by the Infinity Sword)
steals the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos, takes over the universe, and transforms into the Dark
Surfer. The Dark Surfer replaces Thanos as the main antagonist of the season. In the series

finale, the Dark Surfer is defeated, the Infinity Stones are destroyed, the Infinity Sword is
destroyed again (for good), and everything goes back to normal (although Silver Surfer has to
pay his debt for what he did as Dark Surfer).
The second season premiered in the United States on October 23, 2010, on Cartoon
Network[2] to coincide with the release of its video game follow-up, Marvel Super Hero Squad:
The Infinity Gauntlet.
