In the early nineties, the rights to a Spider-Man film rested with 20th Century Fox and a script with James Cameron was written that featured Electro and Sandman being involved in Spider-Man's origin. Production began but ultimately failed due to contract disputes and the bankruptcy of several of the parties involved, including Marvel Comics.
At that time however, the production of an animated series to coincide with the feature film was already in production by the newly formed Marvel Films Animation and Fox Kids. Spider-Man, also known as Spider-Man: the Animated Series, a special preview of the first episode, Night of the Lizard was shown on November 19, 1994 on the Fox Network before the series launch on Saturday mornings starting February 4, 1995. The series ran for five seasons and had a total of 65 episodes before being canceled by Fox in 1998.
Throughout the course of the series, most of Spider-Man's classic rogues gallery, such as the Green Goblin, Vulture, Doc Ock, Chameleon and the Lizard, appeared in the series along with contemporary villains like Venom, Carnage and Hobgoblin. Since Sandman and Electro were to be used in the feature film, they were left out of the series. When the film finally got scrapped for good, Electro made an appearance in the show's fifth season, but Sandman remained absent.
