"Is That the Freaking Death Star?"

My discovery of Marvel.com's release of the Japanese Spider-Man series reminded me of an old Channel 101 series that follows a similar pattern. The show, Return to Supermans, somehow ends up being just slightly less insane than Sentai Spider-Man.

But the shows do have a few things in common. First, Return to Supermans features snippets of Spider-Man's theme music. Second, the entire first episode involves Supermans' epic battle with none other than Spider-Man. But be warned that you shouldn't attempt to apply logic to the series at all, otherwise you'll never be able to get past Supermans dodging all those green lasers.

The Turkish Men of Steels would later return to face Lex Lucifer, Hulk Man, Space Clowns from Kryptar, and finally Captain Americans. Feel free to check it out, with the disclaimer that like any Channel 101 show, there can be mature content (although from what I recall, this series mercifully never embraced any of the "full frontal" variety of said content).
