This is a list of episodes for the TV show The Super Hero Squad Show.

In the opening sequence of the first season, the Hulk picks up an Infinity Fractal, and is transformed by its power into something different every episode. This feature was later removed for the second season. Additionally, each episode's title card is an homage to a classic comic book cover as are some of the episode titles.
