What could you accomplish if you had boundless ability? That's the core question asked by all greatest sci-fi as well as fantastical stories. Imagine if you were granted extraordinary powers?

Instead of operating alone or having Iron Man as a guide, this iteration of the hero develops a evolving relationship with Norman Osborn, who in this story is still just the head of Oscorp. Across their dynamic, Peter grows into a true hero, internalizing the iconic mantra of power and great responsibility.

9. Hazbin Hotel Season 2

Creator Vivienne Medrano's boldly transgressive mature musical-comedy series, which originated as a crowdfunded pilot, fully came into its own in its sophomore installment.
