In most markets, the second season was known as ''[[Marvel Action Universe]]'', which was the name of a previous syndicated programming block in the late 1980s, with the addition of ''[[Biker Mice from Mars]]'' extending the block to 90 minutes.<ref name=hb/> The structure was like this: there was a pre-opening overview<ref>{{YouTube|title=Marvel Action Universe Fantastic 4 pre-opening (version B)|id=yoOsn83gD_M}}</ref><ref>{{YouTube|title=Marvel Action Universe Fantastic 4 pre-opening (version A)|id=Q-2M3tWesMY&t}}</ref><ref>{{YouTube|title=Marvel Action Universe Iron Man pre-opening (version A)|id=Kc1VjBtnhG0}}</ref><ref>{{YouTube|title=Marvel Action Universe Iron Man pre-opening (version B)|id=ebqp2fkjeXk}}</ref> of the each respective series, then the ''Marvel Action Universe'' opening,<ref>{{YouTube|title=Marvel Action Universe animated opening|id=K_vgpCJAhsI}}</ref> then the Stan Lee intro, then the episode prologue, then the regular show opening, and finally the episode.

===UK modification===
The show underwent a notable modification when broadcast on the [[BBC]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.retrojunk.com/content/child/description/page/39597/marvel-action-hour|title=
Marvel Action Hour Description|last= |first= |date= |website=Retro Junk|publisher= |access-date= |quote=}}</ref> in the [[United Kingdom]]; because the BBC does not feature commercial breaks, the two shows that made up the ''Marvel Action Hour'' would actually only have totaled about forty minutes, and so episodes of the 1980s ''[[The Incredible Hulk (1982 TV series)|Incredible Hulk]]'' series were added between the two original shows to bring the whole bundle up to the promised hour in length. The Stan Lee segments were, however, dropped.  First series was broadcast from 20 April<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1996-04-20#at-7.30|title=BBC One London - 20 April 1996 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk|access-date=August 1, 2020}}</ref> until 22 June 1996<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1996-06-22#at-7.30|title=BBC One London - 22 June 1996 - BBC Genome|website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk|access-date=August 1, 2020}}</ref> with 3 further episodes in late August and early September.  The series was repeated in 1997 and 1998; however, the BBC did not screen Marvel Action Universe, due to the fact Channel 4 held the UK rights to ''Biker Mice from Mars''.
