About The Super Hero Squad Show
The Super Hero Squad Show plays the Marvel Universe for laughs. Doctor Doom tried to seize the Infinity Sword, Iron Man destroyed it, and its shards, the Infinity Fractals, scattered everywhere. Now Iron Man's Squad, based in Super Hero City, races Doom's Lethal Legion from walled-off Villainville to collect them first. Season 2 switches to the Infinity Gauntlet story, with Thanos as the main threat for the first half and Scarlet Witch replacing the Silver Surfer on the team.
Film Roman and Marvel Animation made it, adapting Hasbro's chibi-style Marvel Super Hero Squad toy line, with Matt Wayne as story editor and head writer. It ran for two seasons and 52 episodes between 2009 and 2011, on Cartoon Network in the US and Teletoon in Canada. Tom Kenny voices Iron Man, Charlie Adler is Doctor Doom, Travis Willingham is Hulk, Dave Boat is Thor, Alimi Ballard is Falcon and Mikey Kelley is Silver Surfer. Reviewers mostly treated it as goofy fun for kids.

- The Infinity Sword's power turns the Silver Surfer into the evil Dark Surfer, which is how Scarlet Witch ends up taking his place on the Squad.
How to watch it
Watch it in order, since each season follows one long hunt: the Infinity Fractals in season 1, then the Gauntlet in season 2. It's a good first Marvel show for young kids and a light, silly watch for adults who know the characters. Fans of the MCU's Infinity Saga can enjoy season 2 as a cartoonish take on Thanos and the Gauntlet. It sits outside any larger continuity, so it fits anywhere in a Marvel marathon.
