Its funny people bring up Captain Planet. Last night my wife and I happened to be wasted and watched the theme song on YouTube. We got a good laugh out of it until I made the comment that it's only a matter of time before Captain Planet became a Michael Bay movie. That killed the mood of the evening, and we never quite got the good vibes back. Also, count me in as an Ultraverae fan. I thought the Ultraforce cartoon sucked, and so did the Nightman TV show, but the comics were mostly awesome at best and average at worst. It's a shame Marvel is sleeping on these characters, at least some of the bigger ones like Prime, Mantra, Rune, etc. Long standing rumor is the contracts for all the Ultraverse stuff states the creators would get a cut if anything is done with them. So that might be why Marvel has done pretty much nothing since about what 2 years after they bought Malibu. Which was either/or bought for their really good computer coloring system and to keep DC from buying them and finally getting a bigger market share than Marvel for the first time since IIRC the mid 70s. I have enjoyed what Ultraverse I have read. As it was coming out all I ever got was Prime and Sludge,love Steve Gerber and would usually buy whatever he put out. But now you can find 90% of it in cheap bins. I got at least 60 random issues of Ultraverse stuff and none of it cost me more than 50 cents an issue. Somewheres I got a full set of the non-limited Ultraforce action figures. In the late 90s local comic shop was going thru the back room and found a case of the Ultraforce action figures they got shipped years before for free. The owner grabbed all the limited ones,there was some alternate Primes and the others that IIRC were numbered and stuff,then sold me a full set cheap. For the time they came out they are really good figures. They looks good. Had decent articulation and good paint jobs. No clue how popular the carton or comic were I wasn't paying attention to either. Still need to track down Nightman. Heard it was kind of junk. But I just watched NBC's The Cape and it has to be better than that. As for my fave average 90s superhero show. Gonna cheat going live action. Saw it once or twice when it was originally airing. Then forgot about it. Until early one morning I caught an episode on THISTv's early morning kid's block of shows. Then last year got the complete series for X-mas. It is as cheesy as I remembered. But the perfect thing to show people that think they have seen/heard of every oddball tv show. ...what if I already saw that oddball tv show?

I dunno if they qualify as superheros, but Space Cats kicked all kinds of ass. I loved that show.
Great theme song too

Its far from a children's show, but has anyone ever seen the Spawn cartoon? I always considered checking out the show out when it came out on home video, but never did for some reason. And on that note, anyone else remember the Maxx cartoon from MTV? Loved that one.

Then I would throw you my dvd-r set of The Outsiders TV show. Which is the first acting job former WCW world Champ David Arquette did. And has a youngish Billy Bob Thornton. Or if they are closer to my age I throw this down.

And on that note, anyone else remember the Maxx cartoon from MTV? Loved that one. Spawn was lots of fun. I prefer it to the movie. The Maxx was really good. To bad they never got to finish the full story. Really the only horrible Image based cartoon thing was the 5 or so minute long Youngblood promo reel.
