THIS IS ALSO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Little known fact: Japan actually made a Spider-Man series in 1978.

Yes, Spider-Man.

Apparently, they had a deal with Marvel Comics at the time.

And get this, instead of a whiny teenage wimp given powers by a radioactive spider bite, the Japanese version gets a giant robot.

I repeat.

A GIANT ROBOT.

That just made him a whole lot badass, don't you think?

It's like badass to the power of Infinity.

That kind of badass.

Here was the Opening for the series:

By the way, the giant robot's name is Leopardon. Yes, it is based on a leopard. Why they put it in a show where the main character is Spider-Man is beyond me. But still, GO GIANT ROBOTS!!! W00T!!!
