Biker Mice from Mars is an American superhero animated series created by Rick Ungar. The series premiered in syndication the week of September 19, 1993.[3] It consists of three seasons of 65 episodes, with the final episode airing in syndication the week of February 24, 1996.[4]

The show follows three anthropomorphic mice motorcyclists named Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie who escape a war on their home planet Mars before arriving to rebel on the Earth against the species that destroyed their homeland (the Plutarkians) and to one day return to Mars.[5] The mice's signature weapons consist of a cestus and a laser pistol (Throttle), a bionic arm with built-in laser blaster (Modo), and flares (Vinnie). Despite the frequent battles, no blood is shown, and many villains are monsters, aliens, and robots.[6][7][1]

Ownership of the initial Biker Mice TV series passed to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also includes Marvel Productions.[8][9][10][11]
