Spider-Man Unlimited was an animated television series, running from October 1999 to March, 2001. A total of 13 episodes. A sequel series of sorts to ''SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries''. It sees Peter Parker forced to go to another Earth after John Jameson’s ship gets attacked by Venom and Carnage and as per Spidey’s luck, the hero gets blamed for it. After "borrowing" a suit made of nano-machines, Spider-Man goes to Counter-Earth to rescue Jameson and clear his name.
Upon getting to Counter-Earth, [[SpiderMan Spider-Man]] discovers that the High Evolutionary has made himself at home and created [[BeastMan Beast Men]] that run the planet and normal humans are treated like second class citizens. Along the way, he discovers that John Jameson is alive and well, leading a rebellion against the High Evolutionary; that Venom and Carnage came to the planet with the intend to conquer it; and that the planet does have some [[NotAsYouKnowThem vastly different versions of his old foes]].
Generally, the series isn't held in high regards compared to other ''Spider-Man'' series as it viewed as putting Spider-Man in a situation that's un-Spider-Man-like, like putting him on another world. However, it has gained a cult following due to the same reasons, and it is currently being shown on DisneyXD.
Was released on DVD in UK in 2010.

* BigBad: The High Evolutionary and Venom and Carnage.
* BroadStrokes: The show was not designed as a continuation of ''SpidermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and there are no real similar story elements (the only iffy section is it references the Black Suit storyline, but that is just due to the character of Eddie Brock/Venom in general), but it was similar enough in art style and premiered months after STAS that viewers assumed it was a sequel series.
