Taken from Marvel.com:
In September 2009, Marvel will premiere its self-produced The Super Hero Squad Show on Cartoon Network in the U.S. This action-packed 26-episode series features super-stylized versions of its most popular characters (including Captain America, Silver Surfer, Thor, Hulk, Wolverine and Iron Man) with a comedic twist.
Marvel has attracted some top voice talent to play the roles of Marvel’s iconic heroes and villains, including Tom Kenny (aka Spongebob) as Iron Man, Captain America and M.O.D.O.K., Grey DeLisle (“Fairly Oddparents”) as Ms. Marvel and the Enchantress, Alimi Ballard (“NUMB3RS”) as the Falcon, and Charlie Adler (“Cow & Chicken”, “Transformers 1 & 2″) as Dr. Doom.
In addition, superstar guests have joined the cast to play various villains and heroes from throughout the Marvel universe, including Shawn Ashmore (X-Men films) as Iceman, LeVar Burton (“Ali” & “Roots”) as Rhodey, Taye Diggs (“Private Practice”) as the Black Panther, Robert Englund (“A Nightmare on Elm Street”) as Dormammu, Greg Grunberg (“Heroes”) as Ant-Man, Mark Hamill (“Star Wars”) as the Red Skull, Lena Headey (“Sarah Connor Chronicles”) as the Black Widow, Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”) as Sif, Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”, “The Ugly Truth”) as Stardust, Wayne Knight (“Seinfeld”) as Egghead, James Marsters (“Smallville”, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”) as Mr. Fantastic, Jennifer Morrison (“Star Trek”, “House”) as the Wasp, Adrian Pasdar (“Heroes”) as Hawkeye, Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules”, “Meet The Spartans”) as Ka-Zar, George Takei (“Heroes”, “Star Trek”) as Galactus and Michelle Trachtenberg (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Gossip Girl”) as the Valkyrie.
The cast is also joined by comics legend Stan Lee (co-creator of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and many other Marvel characters) in a recurring role as the Mayor of Super Hero City.
I’m definitely interested to see what approach Marvel will take with this series – the toys are clearly for the younger Marvel audience but there a lot of comic fans that also collect the range. Marvel’s recent Iron Man: Armored Adventures, whilst being aimed squarely at kids, is actually one of the best animated superhero shows to air in some time… So I have high hopes for The Super Hero Squad Show.
