The Further Adventures of SuperTed, also known as SuperTed, is an American-British animated superhero television series created by Mike Young.

It ran in 1989, airing 13 episodes that spanned one season.
As the name suggests, it was a sequel to the original SuperTed animated series which was produced exclusively in Wales for a British-English audience between 1983 to 1986.
SuperTed was originally a discarded teddy bear brought to life with cosmic dust to be a superhero by the passing spotted-alien humanoid named Spotty.
