Ultimate Spider-Man
#56 - Cloak and Dagger
Original Airdate - September 13th, 2014
Spider-Man and Dr. Strange attempt to help the super-powered runaways Cloak & Dagger, but the mystical Dormammu has other plans.

Ultimate Spider-Man is produced by Marvel Animation and carries a TV-Y7-FV parental guideline.

Kind of a "meh" episode. It was nice to see Cloak and Dagger animated, and Doctor Strange was pretty good as always, plus it was also nice seeing Taskmaster and his scheme play out.

Iron Fist and White Tiger's new costumes were pretty lame, but they were better than Nova's, which is just a darker colored helmet and gloves. I guess Power Man will get a new costume soon, too.

Dormammu was a very boring, generically evil villain. There's not much else to say about the guy. It didn't help that "Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy" episode recently aired and that episode too had an extraordinarily flat villain.

This episode went on and on about trust, but Cloak and Dagger had no idea who Spider-Man was, so it wasn't much of a surprise when they went back to Taskmaster. It also looks like Fury's hesitancy to recruit young heroes is gonna come back to bite him...
