Heroes (602): superhero animation
Status: agreed in principle with Paul 3 November 2026, configured in 0.88.0 (ChannelIdentities.kt), awaiting his OK to install.
Identity: the superhero cartoons people grew up with, every day. Tagline idea: none yet.
History: Fox Kids' American block carried X-Men, Spider-Man, Silver Surfer and Spider-Man Unlimited; Kids' WB had the DC Animated Universe. The UK schedules aren't verified, so the blocks borrow the feel. History sources: Wikipedia, Cartoon Network (UK and Ireland), Toonami (UK and Ireland), Boomerang (UK and Ireland) and Fox Kids, read 3 November 2026.
Core: Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League (including Justice League Unlimited), X-Men: The Animated Series, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Teen Titans.
Supporting: Static Shock, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, The Batman, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man Unlimited, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Ben 10.
Surprises: Saturday morning Marvel, 07:00 to 11:00, as Fox Kids had it.
Time of day: 06:00 to 15:00 everything. 15:00 to 18:00 after school: the DC Animated Universe and Teen Titans. 18:00 to 22:00 the core with Young Justice, Avengers and Spectacular Spider-Man. 22:00 to 06:00 everything.
Catalogue note: there's no separate Justice League Unlimited in the library. Its 39 episodes are inside Justice League, which has 91 (52 plus 39).
Order: self-contained shows mix (Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, Brave and the Bold, The Batman, Static Shock, Amazing Friends, Ben 10). Shows with story arcs run in order.
Crossover: preferred home of X-Men and Spider-Man, which Orbit X also carries, and of the DC cartoons Vortex shares.
New arrivals: superhero animation. Superhero animated films belong in a future special, not the daily rotation.
