Ahhhh yes yes yes, I love this one! Definitely one of my favourite cartoons ever (D&D is another one, funnily enough..).
We didn't get this until 1990, plus re-runs in 1992 (then again in 1995 but stupidly early on weekdays and in the naughties but only on pay TV).
This was usually aired in tandem with the 1981/2 Spider-man series. Loved both, but preferred this one as was able to identify with Firestar. I think my favourite episodes were the two X-men ones and A (Fire)star is born. Actually watched the SWARN episode very recently on Netflix or Lovefilm or something!
I actually think Spider-Man cartoons have been pretty good over the years compared to other modernised cartoons, despite the awful animation styles these days. But 80s/early 90s cartoons were the right kind of cheesy, whereas the new ones are the wrong kind.
