Spider-Man
Spider man can be a Japanese LiveAction television series produced by Toei Company based on Marvel's Spider-Man personality. The show lasted 41 episodes, which aired on the Wednesday 19:30 JST time slot of Tokyo Channel 12 from May 17, 1978, to March 14, 1979. A episode was shown in the Toei Manga Matsuri filmfestival on July 22, 1978. In their official site, Marvel published English subtitled versions of the movie as well as all 41 episodes from March 5 to December 24, 2009.
While Toei's variation of the personality wore the exact same costume the show's storyline and the source of their personality's abilities deviated from the foundation material. In addition to fighting by himself, this incarnation of Spider-Man also piloted a huge robot known as Leopardon, which he would muster to thwart off versions of the creatures of their show. Toei would adopt the giant robot theory in subsequent incarnations of the Super Sentai franchise.
