*The 1990 educational video ''Spider-Man: Don't Hide Abuse'' features an extended version of the theme. Here, it begins with a "clang", followed by a "whoosh" as the "MP" is revealed. When the logo is "absorbed", a brief synthesized "whoosh" is heard. When the text appears, an ascending chime sounder is heard, before the theme culminates into the normal music (albeit with a shortened ending). | *The 1990 educational video ''Spider-Man: Don't Hide Abuse'' features an extended version of the theme.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon, bordering on rare. The short version was seen on many shows, including the late 1980's Marvel Action Universe block (''Dino Riders'', ''RoboCop'', and the ''Pryde of the X-Men'' pilot), the first season of ''Biker Mice from Mars'' (New World Animation took over from the second season onwards), the animated ''Blondie & Dagwood'' special (and its sequel, ''Second Wedding Workout''), ''Rude Dog & The Dweebs'', ''Spacecats'', and the animated adaptation of ''Attack of the Killer Tomatoes''. It was most notably seen on Henson co-produced shows like ''Muppet Babies'' and ''Fraggle Rock'' (the animated version). The long version is very rare, and was used to plaster the original logos on later prints of pre-1986 Marvel shows such as ''Spider-Woman'', the 1978 cartoon ''The New Fantastic Four'', the 1981 ''Spider-Man'' cartoon and even the 1966 series ''The Marvel Super Heroes''; it also appeared on early '90s video releases of Marvel material. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon, bordering on rare.

The extended music variant was so far only found on the recently-found ''Spider-Man: Don't Hide Abuse'', the first in a series of 4 educational ''Spider-Man'' VHS tapes that were distributed to schools, and since the remaining 3 remain lost, it is unknown if those videos have this variant as well. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' This logo had some of the most impressive computer animation for an '80s television logo, and it remains a popular one by logo enthusiasts. | '''Editor's Note:''' This logo had some of the most impressive computer animation for an '80s television logo, and it remains a popular one by logo enthusiasts. | ||
