Marvel's most popular super hero, Spider-Man, swings into a new season in "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors," premiering SUNDAY, AUGUST 31 (9:00 a.m. ET) on the Marvel Universe programming block on Disney XD. Accompanied by Nova, Iron Fist, Power Man and White Tiger, Spider-Man and the team take on dangerous S.H.I.E.L.D. missions and encounter some of their most thrilling adventures yet.

The new season begins with Spider-Man accepting an invitation to become an Avenger. Alongside Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Falcon, everyone’s favorite web-head gets one step closer to becoming the Ultimate Spider-Man!

Presented in a multi-episode story format, "Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors" not only pairs Spidey with the Avengers, but introduces new heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe such as Agent Venom, a new Iron Spider Amadeus Cho, Cloak & Dagger, and Ka-Zar. Additionally, for the first time in animation history, Miles Morales teams up with Spider-Man for a new adventure and he’s not the only Spidey that Peter Parker will encounter in this action-packed season.

"Fans of Marvel Universe will be thrilled with the new season of 'Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors,'" said Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President, Programming and General Manager, Disney XD. "In this third installment of the popular series, a new multi-episode story arc structure is fused with Marvel's trademark epic storytelling, providing our audience with great adventure, relatability and humor in the most enjoyable Spider-Man season yet."

"We're telling the biggest stories in Marvel animation through our new season of 'Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors,'" said Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television. "First Spidey joins the Avengers and then travels to places never before seen in Marvel Animation. More importantly, we're excited about introducing a new group of Marvel characters to fans and families."

"Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man" has ranked among the network's top animated TV series since its 2012 launch in Total Viewers and target kid and boy 6-14 demographics. The series is produced by Marvel Television and carries a TV-Y7-FV parental guideline.

The action of "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors" continues with a robust consumer products program that focuses on Spider-Man, Iron Spider, Agent Venom and many other characters comprising of the New Warriors team who will make their debut in the series later this year.

The award-winning creative team consists of executive producers: Alan Fine ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man," "Thor"), Dan Buckley ("Marvel's Avengers Assemble," "Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H."), Joe Quesada ("Marvel's Avengers Assemble") and Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."); co-executive producers: Stan Lee ("Spider-Man"), Eric Radomski ("Spawn," "Marvel's Avengers Assemble"), Cort Lane ("The Super Hero Squad Show") and Stephen Wacker ("Marvel's Avengers Assemble"); creative consultant: Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series," "Lost"); consulting producer: Brian Michael Bendis (visionary behind Marvel's ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN series); story editor: Eugene Son ("The Super Hero Squad Show"); supervising director: Alex Soto ("Teen Titans"); and supervising producers: Henry Gilroy ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars"), Harrison Wilcox ("Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.") and Dana Booton ("The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes").

"Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors" stars Drake Bell ("Drake & Josh") as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Chi McBride ("Hawaii Five-0") as Nick Fury, Clark Gregg ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") as Agent Coulson, JK Simmons ("Spider-Man") as J. Jonah Jameson, Steven Weber ("Wings") as Norman Osborn, Greg Cipes ("Teen Titans," "Ben 10") as Danny Rand/Iron Fist, Ogie Banks ("Fatherhood") as Luke Cage/Power Man, Caitlyn Taylor Love ("I'm In The Band") as Ava Ayala/White Tiger, Logan Miller ("I'm In The Band") as Sam Alexander/Nova, Tom Kenny ("SpongeBob SquarePants") as Doctor Octopus, Matt Lanter ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars") as Harry Osborn/Flash Thompson, Tara Strong ("The Fairly OddParents") as Mary-Jane Watson, Misty Lee ("Batman: Arkham City") as Aunt May, and recurring guest star Stan Lee ("Spider-Man") as Stan the Janitor.

Spider-Man has a real hard time keeping his brain in his noggin. Over the past few years of his web-slinging career, a number of heroes and villains have confounded Peter Parker by kicking him out of his own body. Nothing is quite as disconcerting as looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger's face—especially if that stranger is an eight-foot tall green monster!

With the premiere of "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors" fast approaching—the two-parter hits your TV screen on Sunday, August 31 at 9 a.m. ET on Disney XD—we're going to take this opportunity to run through some of Spidey's most outrageous brain swaps!

SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE

Parker's brain switching shenanigans began—in a comic titled "Even We Don't Believe This"—when the teenager woke up in the older, hairier, and smellier body of Wolverine. A quick call to his Queens home proved his greatest fear: Wolverine had indeed taken control of his body. The duo swapped lives for a day, meaning Wolverine had to spend another day in high school and Spider-Man had to learn how to stop stabbing himself with his claws.

SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE… AGAIN

Years after its publication, the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN two-parter became an "Ultimate Spider-Man" episode titled "Freaky." For the first time, Spider-fans got to see just how awkward Logan and Peter's body language looked when placed in the wrong body. The lumbering "Spidey" had to team up with the super agile "Wolverine" against the telepathic villain Mesmero in order to get their brains switched back to normal.

SPIDER-MAN & DOCTOR OCTOPUS

The longest brain swap in Spider-history occurred when Otto Octavius swapped places with Peter Parker in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #698. The bad news in addition to that bad news? Doc Ock was dying. The villain's body died before Spider-Man had a chance to escape, leaving the mad scientist in total control of Peter Parker's body indefinitely. The new "hero" decided to up Spider-Man's game, turning the hero into a "superior" version of himself by utilizing more tech and cutthroat tactics.

SPIDER-MAN & THE HULK

The devious Mesmero escaped S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and once again decided to put the hurt on Spider-Man in an episode titled "The Incredible Spider-Hulk." This time, however, the mastermind switched Spidey's mind with the rampaging Hulk! As if that wasn't enough to ruin Peter Parker's day, Mesmero threw a brainwashed Thing threw into the mix as well, pitting the hero's rocks against the "Hulk's" green hide.

See Spider-Man switch bodies with Loki in the premiere of "Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors," airing this Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on Disney XD!

You probably know actor Mekhi Phifer best from his work on “8 Mile,” "ER" or “Divergent,” but do you know his favorite X-Man? It’s probably not the one you expect.

During a recent press call to promote his new film “The Suspect” we spoke about his love for Rogue, how he watches Marvel’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” with his son and much more!

Marvel.com: To begin, can you give fans a brief overview of what “The Suspect” is about?

Mekhi Phifer: I’ll describe it really quickly. I think it’s a cross between “The Usual Suspects” and “In the Heat of the Night” with Sidney Poitier. If those two films got married and had a kid, it’d be “The Suspect.” It’s definitely an intriguing film, you’re not on the edge of your seat all the time but you’re sort of wondering what the hell is gonna happen, what’s going on. You really don’t know until the end what’s happening.

Marvel.com: Speaking of that, up to the end, which I won’t spoil, I was having trouble finding a protagonist for the movie. In your opinion, who do you root for throughout the movie?

Mekhi Phifer: That’s the beauty about this particular project. There’s not one person that I think you root for. I think it depends on the audience members and their background on who it is you actually root for. I don’t think it’s a clear cut, black and white, who do you root for kind of thing. It deals with a lot of human nature and the essence of who people are. So it definitely deals with complexities of man, for lack of a better term.

Marvel.com: I loved how, although it’s almost an action-thriller, everything could and does happen in today’s society.

Mekhi Phifer: Right. I think that our guy, Stuart Connelly, our director, he really did a good job not only writing it but portraying in a realistic, unbiased way, the way people innately think. It’s interesting because I do a lot of road trips; I travel a lot on the road. I take RVs cross-country and that kind of stuff. You really get to see how segregated America still is when you stop in these small towns and things like that to get gas or what have you. It was a very interesting and compelling story for me.

Marvel.com: I think another great thing about it too was the subtlety of the police officers.

Mekhi Phifer: Right. But once certain questions were raised, certain things came out. It doesn’t make them bad people; it’s just their experience and how they grew up or what they were taught.

Marvel.com: What do you think about when you hear the name Marvel? Is there anything that comes to mind?

Mekhi Phifer: I love Marvel. You’ve got Spider-Man, this and that, but as a kid I grew up reading all the Marvel comics.

Marvel.com: Oh, really?

Mekhi Phifer: Oh, absolutely. No question about it. We’re talking X-Men and everything else that comes along with it. I just think of really cool comics when I think of Marvel and now good movies.

Marvel.com: Who would you favorite Marvel character be if you had to choose one?

Mekhi Phifer: Rogue from the X-Men. I liked that she could fly and do all this other stuff. I didn’t like that she couldn’t touch anybody. That sucks. I liked the powers of Rogue.

Marvel.com: What got you into comics in the first place when you were a kid?

Mekhi Phifer: It’s the same kind of thing that got me into being an actor; just the suspension of reality. It’s like why you go to the movies or why you go to a concert or something. It’s to be taken out of your normal, everyday life and be taken into another world. Comics always had a great way of doing that.

I’ve always wanted to play some sort of super hero or be in that kind of film. That’s what I loved about doing “Divergent” and things like that but I’ve always wanted to be in those kind of films. I have two sons, a 14 year old and a six year old and to see their dad in those movies would be great.

Marvel.com: What are they into comics-wise? Is it cool to have the kids like some of the same stuff you liked when you were growing up?

Mekhi Phifer: Yeah, my oldest is in high school now so he’s more into other things, socializing with his friends and all that kind of stuff. My youngest, he loves watching [“Ultimate Spider-Man”] on Disney XD and what have you. The way you watch things is different from when I was a kid with the way they watch it today with the iPads and all that kind of stuff. We only had a couple of channels and we would watch either right before 4 PM or on Saturday. That’s the only time we could see cartoons and now cartoons are almost on 24 hours a day, every day. It’s definitely different.

Marvel.com: Like you were saying earlier, you’ve been in such a wide array of things. Can fans check out anything else you’ve got coming up?

Mekhi Phifer: I just had a film released called “A Day Late and a Dollar Short” with Whoopi Goldberg and just a great cast. “Divergent” is still in theaters!

Check out “The Suspect” out now on DVD and Blu-ray. You can also follow Mekhi on Twitter @MekhiPhifer.
