The show that determined more of what you (used to) know (or think) about superheroes than even the Adam West Batman series.Super Friendsnote alternate spellings can include Superfriends (one word) and SuperFriends (two words in CamelCase), the way it was displayed on-screen varied is a long-running Hanna-Barbera series, which ran on ABC from 1973 to 1986 (with breaks), featuring superheroes from DC Comics. The core heroes were Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman and Robin. Originally, they were joined by "Junior Super Friends" Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. The series' first season, in 1973-4, consisted of hour long stories, most of which concerned current issues such as energy conservation; the "criminal" was usually a Well-Intentioned Extremist with benign motives, who is usually easily persuaded to a more reasonable stand at the end.Subsequent seasons could conceivably be considered separate series, not unlike Super Sentai a.k.a. Power Rangers: The series was revived in 1977 as The All-New Super Friends Hour, with some reworking of the concept. Most notably, the "Junior Super Friends" were replaced with the shape-shifting Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, and their monkey, Gleek, who, unlike their predecessors, had actual useful superpowers (even if they were sometimes bad at using them). Episodes typically contained more action with the heroes having to get tough with their enemies and less unnecessarily forced point-making and plodding stories. This and subsequent seasons included short segments on health, safety, crafts, stage magic and a simple word puzzle related to the show's main story. The All-New Super Friends Hour was divided into two parts: one half-hour episode, and another half hour of Three Shorts, which typically followed a pattern: first, two of the original four heroes; then, a short spotlighting the new Wonder Twins; then, the main story with the entire team; and finally, an episode spotlighting one established hero and introducing another hero, many (but not all) of whom would later appear on the next series: Challenge of the Superfriends in 1978 had the largest cast of the various series: 11 heroes and 13 villains (see Heroes Unlimited). Three of the more notable heroes not present were the Wonder Twins and Gleek. By this time, the stories began to resemble those found in the actual comic books, although some of the heroes and villains existed only in animation, including three new "Minority" heroes, Black Vulcan (Black), Apache Chief (Native American), and Samurai (Asian). It also introduced the original Legion of Doom, a group of the Super Friends' greatest enemies united to conquer the world with plans none of them could complete alone. The most fondly remembered series, it evolved as it went on. Most episodes focused on a MacGuffin, and early episodes ended with a Villain: Exit, Stage Left, as if actually capturing the Legion would end their threat, despite the fact that's never how it works in comic books (see Failure Is the Only Option, Joker Immunity, Cardboard Prison). Once they got over that, later episodes raised the stakes and had the Legion introduce ever greater threats, with episode titles starting to take on names like "The Final Challenge" and "Doomsday." The penultimate episode involved the Super Friends being picked off one by one by a "Noxium Crystal" but ultimately being revealed as robots; the final episode begins After the End, as we follow a group of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens as they encounter the scene and wonder what happened. It turns out the Legion fired a solar flare at Earth, and with Superman out of commission, the Super Friends activated their "global force field"; the mixture of the two bathed the Earth in deadly radiation. It ultimately ends with the aliens using Time Travel to push the inevitable Reset Button, moving the moon in the path of the flare (seriously). Originally was still part of an hour-long show; the episodes they ran with, which included the core five and the Wonder Twins, are now very rare and almost entirely forgotten, and the last six were out-and-out absent from circulation until a 2005 DVD release contained this entire group. World's Greatest Super Friends, 1979: Core five members and the Wonder Twins. Only eight episodes; one Whole-Plot Reference after another. The only two exceptions are a Mirror Universe and an Homage to Superman: The Movie. Mostly ran with reruns originally, which helps explain it. From 1980-3, new episodes came in the form of shorts, which generally followed a subtle form of A B A structure, with A teaming one or two of the Core Five with another hero, almost always one appearing on Challenge, although these shorts did introduce El Dorado, essentially a Token Minority. The second series aired in the first season not to be originally aired as an hour-long show. The third series were originally only shown abroad, as the show had been cancelled in the US, and made up another set of episodes missing from circulation until the 1990s. The show was revived again in 1984 as the Merchandise-Driven Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, intended to tie in with the Super Powers Collection toy line from Kenner. The show consisted of two 15-minute shorts, except for some two-part half-hours. It introduced Firestorm, whose ability to transmute elements was depicted as enabling him to change anything into anything else, making him ridiculously over-powered. This was also the series that introduced Darkseid and his fellow villainous New Gods of Apokolips to animation, a decade before Superman: The Animated Series, although many aspects of his personality were toned down from the original, and he was given a bizarre fixation on making Wonder Woman his bride. The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, 1985. Hanna-Barbera gave the show a Retool, eliminating the Wonder Twins and all of the Captain Ethnic superheroes they created (with the sole exception of Samurai), introducing Cyborg from the comic books in his animated debut, redoing the character designs (moving away from Alex Toth's art style to DC's then-house style), calling the group "The Super Powers Team" instead of the Super Friends, and adding a more Heroes Unlimited feel. The main connection to the previous series was the voices and the villains, as Darkseid was still around. Some of the episodes were darker and more somber than prior ones. Especially the episode dealing with Batman's origin, which just may have the most powerful performance Adam West ever gave in the role.And that was that, until Justice League came along. Many thanks to Will's Super Friends Episode Guide and Challenge of the Super Friends.This show was very campy in its day, Challenge included (although the last season began to veer away from this atmosphere), and used many of the worst Animation Tropes. Despite many of the superheroes' portrayals as rather bland, the show also had the unfortunate effect of tainting the reputations of Aquaman and Hawkman among the general public (see This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman). Although Aquaman, especially recently, has been more of a King Arthur figure than a traditional brawler, the main problem was the show's general Media Watchdog-induced abhorrence of violence and actual fighting. While Superman could fly, lift heavy things and melt metal things, Batman had his cool gadgets, and Wonder Woman had her invisible jet and Lasso of Truth, Aquaman could basically breathe under water and talk to animals, and Hawkman could fly... and nothing else.There was also a tie-in Super Friends Comic-Book Adaptation for a while. It wasn't half-bad, once it started departing from the strict guidelines of the television show. It's best remembered now for the Canon Immigrant "Global Guardians" team that it created as a team of Captain Ethnic heroes.1979 saw the airing of two live-action specials loosely based on the cartoon titled Legends of the Superheroes, which had Captain Marvel replace Superman and Wonder Woman's place taken by Black Canary and the Huntress because Superman and Wonder Woman were restricted from use by Superman having his own movie the year prior and Wonder Woman's television series airing on a different networknote Wonder Woman aired on CBS, while Legends of the Superfriends aired on NBC.Recently, there's a new "Super Friends" toy line and associated comic book, this one featuring Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the John Stewart Green Lantern. While the current comic uses an extremely cartoony art-style, it has been praised for its imaginative plots and affection for the more bizarre corners of DCU mythos.In 2010, Warner Bros. Animation made DC Super Friends, a 17-minute short for Fisher-Price as a tie-in for their range of DC Super Friends toys, packing it as a DVD bonus with select products.The Arrowverse has made quite a few nods to the show, with an old STAR Labs facility (which looks just like the Hall of Justice) being used as the staging ground for the heroes during the Invasion! crossover event, the Legion of Doom showing up in season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow, the team formed by Supergirl and her friends in the eponymous series often are referred to as the "Superfriends", and most recently, said STAR Labs facility being used again at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) as Barry gathers the heroes for the Justice League (in all but name), and Gleek has apparently escaped and is running around the building.See Seanbaby's Super Friends Page for a snarky and sarcastic take on the series.

 Superfriends / int_1049848f

Aliens Speaking English: Occurs in four 1973-74 season episodes: "The Power Pirate", "Too Hot To Handle", "The Balloon People" and "The Watermen". The aliens in all of these episodes spoke perfect English with no explanation. Averted by the Wonder Twins in the comic adaptation, where they start off not knowing any English, and have stilted grammar and noticeable accents (they pass themselves off as Norwegian in their secret identities) even after they learn.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Zan and Jayna were almost certainly modeled on Donnie and Marie Osmond, who had a popular variety show that ran from 1976-1978, as evidenced by their catch-phrase, "Spacey, Zan — really spacey," copped from the Osmonds' "Cute, Marie — real cute."

Darker and Edgier
 Superfriends / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The 1985 season, which came complete with a name change. Cyborg joined the Super Powers Team, and the stories got more serious in that season compared to the previous seasons, including the first-ever depiction of Batman's origin story on television. It also gave us the first ever on-screen depiction of The Death of Superman, well before Superman IV or the creation of Doomsday. Just about all the seasons from 1977 (The All-New Superfriends Hour) onward were this compared to the lighter-hearted 1973-74 series. Many of the situations were more dangerous or suspenseful and a few episodes actually took stabs (pardon the pun) at killing off the heroes (Superfriends: Rest In Peace, for example.) Notable is the episode "The Ghost" from the All-New Superfriends Hour, one of the few to use an established villain from the comics, the Gentleman Ghost. It starts in a graveyard with a creepy-looking man invoking Mephisto and Satan (by name!) to raise a man from the dead as a vengeful spirit. The Ghost then goes on to transform multiple characters into helpless spirits, including Superman and Wonder Woman.

Tempting Fate: Marvin in the 1973-74 episode "Too Hot to Handle". The heat causes wax statues of the main heroes to melt, so Wendy and Marvin remove the uniforms from the statues. In "The Mind Maidens" Wonder Woman and Jayna decide to sneak into Medulla's lair, and Jayna smugly comments "It'll be a cinch!" Cue both of them being turned into Medulla's mind-controlled slaves. Batman, of all people, does this when facing an "obvious" Trap Door set up by The Riddler.

All There in the Manual
 Superfriends / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The TV show never explained why Marvin and Wendy were there. The comics do, however: Wendy's uncle was a policeman who trained and helped young Bruce Wayne, and Marvin's mother was the woman whose name Wonder Woman took her civilian name from (Diana Prince). Likewise, the Wonder Twins never got a full biography in the animation, but they did in the comics. Unlimited shapeshifting used to be common among the people of Exxor, but it was carried on a recessive gene, so in modern times the majority of the population lacked the power, and the few that do still have it have limits to what they could turn into. Zan and Jayna were further limited by needing to touch hands to activate their powers. After their parents died in a plague, nobody was willing to adopt the two shapeshifters, so they were eventually bought by the owner of a space circus, to use their shapeshifting powers as sideshow attractions. Only the circus' 'laugh-maker' (clown) cared for them, and gave them Gleek as a pet. In their teenage years, they escaped the circus, only to stumble upon the hideout of the villainous Grax and conveniently overhear his plan to destroy the Earth. Racing to Earth, they warn the Superfriends, and replace the retiring Wendy and Marvin. Or "All There In The Modelsheet": The reason that Black Vulcan's outfit had a lot of animation errors is that it was never right to begin with. According to Alex Toth's model sheet◊, the costume is supposed to be mostly dark blue, with white lightning trim, gloves, and boots, and light blue trunks and mask. Furthermore, his legs are not supposed to be bare, and neither is his neck area, which is supposed to be light blue as well and connect to his mask as a full Batman-like cowl. The third Super Powers miniseries served to explain the origins of Samurai, establishing that his real name is Toshio Eto and that he was given his powers by the New Gods in hopes that he'd be a useful ally against Darkseid.

Artistic License – Biology: 1973-74 series episodes "The Shamon U". A miniaturized sperm whale returns to normal size on a city street. It should be crushed by its own weight and be unable to breathe, but it's just fine. "The Watermen''. When the title aliens extract silicon from sea water, it causes the sea water to immediately turn into red tide. Just one problem: red tide is caused by microorganisms, not a lack of silicon. This is lampshaded when Professor Matey notes that it should be impossible.

"Superfriends: Rest In Peace" had two. Robot doubles were used to play the Superfriends when the Noxium was used, and they played dead. Once the Legion thought the Superfriends were all dead, a protectively-suited Apache Chief found the Noxium and sent it into deep space. The real Superfriends then disguised themselves as normal folks to ambush the Legion on their base, and deliver a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.

Captain Ersatz
 Superfriends / int_25b5600
comment
Captain Ersatz: They created Black Vulcan, an electrically powered black man, instead of using DC's existing electrically-powered black man, Black Lightning. Rumor has it that this stems from a creative rights dispute with Lightning's creator, Tony Isabella; decades later, DC refused to let Black Lightning appear as a Guest Star on Static Shock. They couldn't use Black Vulcan either, so a new character, Soul Power, was created. How often do you get a Captain Ersatz of a Captain Ersatz? The dispute has apparently been resolved, as Black Lightning, as part of the Outsiders, has appeared on Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Young Justice (2010). And in a very non-heroic example, Lex Luthor's dimwitted henchman Otis from the era's live-action Superman movies appeared in the episode "Lex Luthor Strikes Back", under the name "Orville Gump". Cheetah was something of one for Catwoman - particularly the Eartha Kitt incarnation from the '66 show (the rasp is a dead giveaway).note Though there might be a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation going on here - the comics' version of Cheetah was also very similar to Catwoman in modus operandi, save for being a lot less squeamish about cold-blooded murder.

Mythology Gag

comment
Mythology Gag: In Alex Ross' Justice, The Joker is furious that the other supervillains have left him out of their Legion of Doom. The original plan was to have the Joker be part of the Legion of Doom, but with Filmation using him as part of The New Adventures of Batman, he and a few other Batman villains, including Catwoman and The Penguin, were off-limits. In "Superfriends: Rest in Peace", Batman's "death" takes place outside of a movie theater, which itself is a nod to how his parents died on the way home from a night at the movies.

Rogues' Gallery Transplant

comment
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Gentleman Ghost, albeit only addressed as Gentleman Jim Craddock, is the feature villain in The All-New Super Friends Hour episode "Ghosts", but has his vendetta directed towards Superman and Wonder Woman instead of Hawkman and Hawkwoman. In the Challenge of the Superfriends episode "History of Doom", Giganta is revealed to be a normal human who became a sizeshifter the same way Apache Chief did, making her one of his enemies instead of one of Wonder Woman's. In the Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show episode "Reflections in Crime", the villain is Flash foe the Mirror Master, but he is only shown fighting Superman, Batman, Robin, Firestorm and Samurai with the Flash nowhere in sight. The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Case of the Stolen Powers" focuses on a Villain Team-Up between Felix Faust and Batman villain The Penguin, but neither Batman nor Robin appear in the episode and the only heroes Penguin is shown fighting are Superman, Firestorm, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Samurai and Aquaman.

I Am Not Shazam: A weird case. Though the team name was technically the Justice League of America, it was rarely used in the show (the intro of Challenge perhaps being the most notable example), though "JLA" logos did appear on their communicators and satellite; the Super Friends name was used in-universe much more. The issue was rendered moot in the final season when both names were dropped and they rebranded as "The Super Powers Team".

Adapted Out
 Superfriends / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: The Martian Manhunter is the only one of the core seven that didn't appear on any interation of the show. The character had been written out of the comics shortly before the show debuted and only appeared sporadically until the mid 80's, over 15 years in Comic-Book Limbo. Despite Darkseid and his forces appearing during the Super Powers era, New Genesis, Orion, Highfather, and their associates were never shown or referenced, for some reason. For that matter, the only lackeys of Darkseid's that appeared were Kalibak and Desaad. (Strange, considering how the last two seasons were Merchandise-Driven and Orion, Mr. Miracle, Steppenwolf, and Mantis were part of the Super Powers Collection toyline.) Hal Jordan remained the only Green Lantern in existence at the time to be acknowledged, with no mention made whatsoever of Alan Scott, Guy Gardner or John Stewart. In addition, the only extraterrestrial members of the Green Lantern Corps to ever appear are Hal Jordan's predecessor Abin Sur and Sinestro (whose backstory of being a former Green Lantern gone renegade is never brought up).

Gender Flip

Analogues for Apache Chief/Long Shadow, El Dorado and Samurai (gender-swapped in the latter's case) were also part of Young Justice (2010), but with altered powers. Tye Longshadow couldn't actually grow, but he could project an astral form in the shape of a giant that he "piloted" from within. Asami "Sam" Koizumi had chi manipulation that gave her multiple abilities (but not Samurai's wind, fire, or invisibility). Eduardo Dorado Jr. had El Dorado's teleportation but none of his illusion-making powers, though he stopped in an analogue in the revival and outright took up the codename "El Dorado". Static fills in for Black Vulcan.

The New Super Friends episode "Terror from the Phantom Zone" has the Phantom Zone prisoners Logar, Rom-Lok and Hul escape from the transdimensional prison for Kryptonian criminals and attempt to get even with Superman by exposing him to red kryptonite and subjecting him to Rapid Aging, ultimately being defeated when Superman recovers by exposing himself to blue kryptonite and using red kryptonite on the trio before sending them back to the Phantom Zone (causing Logar to shrink, Rom-Lok to become hairy and Hul to turn into metal). The three would resurface in the lost season episode "Return of the Phantoms", where they would escape the Phantom Zone again and try to stop Superman by going back in time and defeating him when he was Superboy.

Batman Gambit
 Superfriends / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: The master of the Trope himself did it twice in the same episode, against the same villain. Said villain was using an amulet that could cause Rapid Aging or reverse aging. After using it to turn Superman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman into kids, he threatened to turn Batman and Robin into "feeble old men". Batman's response was "Do your worst!" and he did, only to have Batman and Robin dodge the blast as planned and it hitting the three de-aged heroes behind him returning them to adulthood. In response, the villain turned the amulet on a guy he had previously aged, turning the poor guy to dust in order to cover his escape. Batman put the dust in a canister, then put that inside a mannequin wearing a Batman costume. When the villain tried to the de-aging thing again, he zapped the victim's remains, restoring his body and true age. (And was easily disarmed of the amulet by said former victim.)

But What About the Astronauts?: Changing Earth's history to regress culture and society back to the Stone Age somehow doesn't affect Skylab in space, and the scientists there help the Super Friends save the day. It also didn't affect Batman and Robin (who were working on Skylab when the change took effect) or any of the other superheroes (so it presumably didn't have any effect on Atlantis or Paradise Island, either).

Trainstopping

Trainstopping: In 1973-74 episode "The Power Pirate", Superman saves a train rolling backwards down a mountain by using his strength to bring it to a stop. In the opening title for the 1973-74 season, Superman is shown stopping a runaway train by grabbing the train's back end and pulling until the train stops. This may be a unique case, but it's a lot safer than the other method. In one episode Wonder Woman stops two trains on a collision course with each other, by standing between them and pushing hard in both directions. (How this is materially different from an actual collision, only the scriptwriters can tell you.)

Badass in Distress

Badass in Distress: Wonder Woman tended to be kidnapped, brainwashed, etc., more frequently than the rest of the Super Friends. In the 1973/74 season episodes "The Baffles Puzzle" and "The Menace of the White Dwarf", she was neutralized by the villains and Superman had to rescue her. In later seasons she was subject to the Legion of Doom's machinations; still later she was frequently kidnapped by Darkseid. When it wasn't Wonder Woman, it was often Superman being subjected to this, so he couldn't just easily solve the problem of the day. In these cases, Wonder Woman often stepped up in his place, such as in the episodes "Dr. Fright" or "Will The Worlds Collide?"

Exact Eavesdropping
 Superfriends / int_4712bc4f
comment
Likewise, the Wonder Twins never got a full biography in the animation, but they did in the comics. Unlimited shapeshifting used to be common among the people of Exxor, but it was carried on a recessive gene, so in modern times the majority of the population lacked the power, and the few that do still have it have limits to what they could turn into. Zan and Jayna were further limited by needing to touch hands to activate their powers. After their parents died in a plague, nobody was willing to adopt the two shapeshifters, so they were eventually bought by the owner of a space circus, to use their shapeshifting powers as sideshow attractions. Only the circus' 'laugh-maker' (clown) cared for them, and gave them Gleek as a pet. In their teenage years, they escaped the circus, only to stumble upon the hideout of the villainous Grax and conveniently overhear his plan to destroy the Earth. Racing to Earth, they warn the Superfriends, and replace the retiring Wendy and Marvin.

Sealed Evil in a Can: The All-New Super Friends Hour segment "The Ghost" establishes that Gentleman Ghost (addressed here only as Gentleman Jim Craddock) was sealed in a crypt by Superman and Wonder Woman and has him enable his freedom by having a mortal henchman read an incantation. The New Super Friends episode "Terror from the Phantom Zone" has the Phantom Zone prisoners Logar, Rom-Lok and Hul escape from the transdimensional prison for Kryptonian criminals and attempt to get even with Superman by exposing him to red kryptonite and subjecting him to Rapid Aging, ultimately being defeated when Superman recovers by exposing himself to blue kryptonite and using red kryptonite on the trio before sending them back to the Phantom Zone (causing Logar to shrink, Rom-Lok to become hairy and Hul to turn into metal). The three would resurface in the lost season episode "Return of the Phantoms", where they would escape the Phantom Zone again and try to stop Superman by going back in time and defeating him when he was Superboy. The 1980 series had a segment called "Yuna the Terrible", where the titular villain was a barbarian woman who was set free when her tomb was uncovered by archeaologists. In the lost season segment "Prisoners of Sleep", the antagonist is an evil spirit called Sleep, who was sealed inside a metal sphere for a billion years until Superman and Batman accidentally break it open. This leads to Sleep making the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader fall asleep so he can torment them in their nightmares before the intervention of Wonder Woman enables the other two heroes to wake up and seal Sleep back into his prison.

Gory Discretion Shot: Yes, believe it or not, in the episode "One Small Step For Superman", where a boy's beloved dog dies while protecting him from a bear just off-screen. (The boy's father claims that the dog "ran away", but his expression says otherwise)

The evil Superman from the 1979 episode "Universe of Evil" has red eyes as well, and for bonus points, they're ringed in black, with freakin' huge demonic points◊. Evil!Batman and Evil!Robin also have red eyes in place of their good counterparts' plain white eyes.

Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog in the 1973/74 season, with one exception. In the first episode "The Power Pirate" Marvin is able to levitate, which indicates he has burgeoning metahuman powers. This is never followed up in subsequent episodes (making it Early-Installment Weirdness), and at the end of the season they are all Put on a Bus.

Temporal Paradox
 Superfriends / int_501de366
comment
Temporal Paradox: A Grandfather Paradox in the Challenge of the Super Friends episode "Secret Origins Of The Super Friends". The Legion of Doom's efforts to erase Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern from history somehow does not affect the existences of Lex Luthor, Toyman, Bizarro, Giganta, Cheetah and Sinestro (which is especially jarring in regards to Luthor, Bizarro and Sinestro, as Luthor's villainy is mainly driven by the desire to defeat Superman, Bizarro is a flawed clone of Superman and Sinestro became evil because Hal Jordan got him kicked out of the Green Lantern Corps by reporting his abusing his power ring to take over his own planet). Giganta not being affected is explained in "History of Doom", where it's revealed that, unlike in the comics, her origin has nothing to do with Wonder Woman.

Crazy-Prepared: Naturally, Batman, who could pull out any gadget to deal with a situation. He even had a communicator in his tooth if he was otherwise immobilized. In "Wanted: The Super Friends", Lex Luthor designed his mind control device so that it couldn't be used against him. In "No Honor Among Thieves", Darkseid rigged his throne to spray kryptonite dust on anybody who sits in it, anticipating that Lex Luthor, who had stolen Superman's powers, would betray him.

All Your Powers Combined
 Superfriends / int_5288f02
comment
All Your Powers Combined: "The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein" had them face Dr. Frankenstein, who transferred the powers of Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman into his Monster. To fight it, the remnants of their super powers were augmented and transferred to Robin. When he confronts the Monster a second time, a lead-suited Robin exposes it to kryptonite, which weakens it enough to bring it back to Frankenstein's lab. Robin is able to reverse the transfer, though at the cost of his own newly-gained super powers, too. The tie-in comic book had the World-Beater in #3, who had the combined powers of over a hundred supervillains (who were killed in the process!) Unfortunately for WB, it also had the combined weaknesses of the villains, so was tricked into emitting X-rays that triggered paralysis in itself.

Significant Anagram: A complicated version in the 1973/74 episode "The Fantastic FRERPS". When King Plasto tricks the G.R.E.P.S. delivery people into giving him their shipments of plastic, he signs the receipts he gives them "Roy La Post". Marvin accidentally comes up with the term "King Plasto", and Batman puts the pieces together. The "Roy" in "Roy La Post" is based on the French word "Roi", which means "king". Thus "Roy La Post" -> "Roi La Post" -> "King La Post" -> "King Plasto"!

No Honor Among Thieves: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show had one episode titled "No Honor Among Thieves". In that episode, Lex Luthor created a device to steal powers from the heroes and asked for Darkseid's help. Luthor tried to doublecross Darkseid but Darkseid was Crazy-Prepared enough to cover Luthor in kryptonite dust since, with Superman's powers, comes his weakness. Luthor still managed to use El Dorado's powers to send the powerless heroes the means to escape death. He then got a Title Drop.

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Done oddly in the 1981 episode "The Aircraft Terror", where a jet plane was transformed into what was clearly a white dragon (four legs, bat-like wings, long neck and reptilian tail, could breathe fire), but everyone kept calling it a "bird monster". They used the same term for the other aircraft that were transformed in turn, even though most of the others were giant insects, and none of them had anything resembling feathers or beaks.

We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill: In the episode, "Volcano," an alien ship crashes lands into an active volcano. Superman and Samurai come to render assistance, but the captain of the ship is so suicidally paranoid that he is more determined to keep the superheroes away even while their ship is sinking into the magma. Meanwhile, the heroes rack their brains for a way to save the aliens before it's too latenote Which apparently doesn't involve simply contacting Green Lantern, part of the Space Police force, the Green Lantern Corps, to send a message vouching for them.

Batman Can Breathe in Space: It's pretty much a coin toss whether the characters will require any kind of protection when going into space. Sometimes they can get by with just a fishbowl helmet, sometimes they need Green Lantern or someone similar to use their powers to protect them, and sometimes they can just flat-out survive hard vacuum.

Impersonation Gambit
 Superfriends / int_5f3c9391
comment
Impersonation Gambit: Done a few times. "The Darkseid Deception" had Darkseid impersonate Steve Trevor. His Glowing Eyes of Doom, though, give him away. One was in "The Wild Cards." Batman managed to use Jack's own energy sword to counter Jack's cards and send them back to entrap Jack. Thinking quickly, Batman switched their costumes to impersonate Jack and make the others think "Batman" was beaten. Batman-As-Jack managed to free his trapped colleagues, and get Firestorm to swap the costumes once more, with Batman himself, and Jack trapped in a straight-jacket style binding. "Superfriends: Rest In Peace" had two. Robot doubles were used to play the Superfriends when the Noxium was used, and they played dead. Once the Legion thought the Superfriends were all dead, a protectively-suited Apache Chief found the Noxium and sent it into deep space. The real Superfriends then disguised themselves as normal folks to ambush the Legion on their base, and deliver a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.

Heel–Face Turn: This happened at the end of almost all of the 1973/74 episodes after the Super Friends explained to the villains the errors of their ways. It usually involved the villain(s) sincerely apologizing and promising to change their behavior. Even some later episodes featured this (like the 1980 episode "Big Foot", which was resolved peacefully once Batman pulled out a translator).

Forgot About His Powers
 Superfriends / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: Happens all the time. One particularly extreme example: in "Fairy Tale of Doom", Toyman climbs up Jack's beanstalk and Hawkman — forgetting his one and only power — climbs after him. (Then again, it's unclear whether any of the heroes transported into the stories still have their powers. Superman-as-Gulliver doesn't fly, either) In a few episodes, Aquaman and Wonder Woman show off that they do have some level of Super-Strength. Despite this, there are plenty of episodes where they get captured or ensnared by things that shouldn't pose any threat to them. Aquaman has a very strong habit of forgetting that he can control aquatic life until he's about halfway into a sea monster's mouth. Quite frequently, his solution to this is not "tell the monster to go away", but "summon other sea creatures to fight it." Particularly irritating when one realizes that the only reason the sea monster exists in the plot is so Aquaman can fight it. (Though justified by him talking to aquatic creatures and asking them for help rather than outright controlling them; if a sea creature is hostile, talking won't work)

Hostile Terraforming: 1973-74 episode "Too Hot to Handle". The inhabitants of the planet Solar Terrarium are moving the Earth closer to the Sun so it will become hotter and more comfortable for them. They are unconcerned that the increased heat and resulting climate change will kill most of the humans living here. Also the Fearians in the Challenge season, who offer to make the Legion of Doom rulers of the world in exchange for making Earth's climate more like Venus. (Naturally, they trick the Superfriends into doing it rather than doing it themselves) The "Seeds of Doom" from the Super Powers Team would've wrecked the planet and turned it into an Apokliptian-style world.

Darkseid never physically fights, and he becomes exhausted whenever he uses his Omega Beam. Despite it keeping its Homing Lasers aspect, the Omega Beam misses several times, and it gets toned down to an Agony Beam instead of a Disintegrator Ray when it is used on a living being. The first time Superman is hit by it, he is able to resist it with some struggle. The second time, he straight up No Sells it.

Meaningful Name: Many examples in the 1973-74 season. "The Balloon People". The villain Dr. Noah Tall (Know-It-All) desires knowledge in order to gain power, so he wants to "know it all". His not-too-bright assistant Twisty regularly uses Spoonerisms, indicating his "twisty" mind. The chief of the U.S. Government's Environment Protection Bureau is named Simon Pure. The villain Dr. Shamon. He has a giant magnet in the shape of the letter U, and the episode is titled "The Shamon U" ("shame on you"). "The Androids". Dr. Rebos' assistant is named "Loco", and he acts in a stupid and (borderline) crazy manner. "The Fantastic Frerps". The villain King Plasto is obsessed with using plastic. He has two assistants named Styro ("styrofoam") and Polly Ethyl Lene ("polyethylene"). "The Mysterious Moles". The villains have a Giant Underground Drill that they use to dig down to the bottom of a cave. Their names? Minnie and Maximus Mole. "Gulliver's Gigantic Goof". A scientist named Gulliver is determined to shrink the entire world population down to a tiny size (for their own good, of course). "Too Hot To Handle". Professor von Knowalot (know a lot). Kobar's home planet is normally quite hot (140 degrees Fahrenheit), and is called Solar Terrarium. "The Water People". An undersea researcher with his own submarine is named "Professor Matey" (as in "Ahoy, matey!"). Medulla from "The Mind Maidens": The medulla oblongata is a section of the human brain. Plus a riff on "Medusa".

"Everybody Laughs" Ending
 Superfriends / int_6eb04f1
comment
"Everybody Laughs" Ending: 1973-74 series episodes "The Balloon People". Wonder Dog accidentally presses the balloon dog's air release button and everybody laughs at him. "The Fantastic Frerps". After Wendy tricks Marvin into getting a raw egg dropped on his head, everyone (including Marvin) laughs. "The Mysterious Moles". Marvin tells Superman "We dig!" Superman replies "Please Marvin, don't mention that word. I did more digging today than I've ever done in my whole life!" The rest of the Super Friends laugh politely. "The Power Pirate". After Wonder Dog blows out a light bulb (?), the others laugh at him. "Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C.". A cart starts moving by itself, and when Superman removes it and finds Wonder Dog underneath pushing it. Wendy and Marvin make funny comments and they all start laughing. "The Shamon U". Wonder Dog plays a prank on Marvin and all of the Superfriends have a good laugh. "The Watermen". While Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog are playing a game of water polo with the aliens, Wonder Dog blows himself into the goal while carrying the ball. Wendy, Marvin and the aliens cheer and laugh. "The Weather Maker". After Wendy plays a prank on Marvin, they have a good laugh. In later seasons, often occurred at the end of any episode featuring the Wonder Twins and Gleek the monkey or, more rarely, Robin.

Calling Your Attacks: Samurai's power was basically "Anything he could say in Japanese", though in practice he only used it to turn himself into a tornado ("Kaze no yo ni hayaku!", or "Swift as the wind") or flame ("Igo Moen!", or "Great Flame Go!"), to turn invisible ("Tomei Ningen!", or "Transparent man"), and, once, to create illusions ("Higa Moe!", or "Unreal... something").

From Bad to Worse: Samurai and the Wonder Twins think it's bad enough for a dose of red Kryptonite to turn Superman into a toddler. But then the imp Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up to "play" with the young Supes. In "The Bizarro Super Powers Team," Bizarro uses a device to create Bizarro versions of Wonder Woman, Firestorm and Cyborg. At which point, once more, Mxy pops in to have fun "training" these new "heroes." Wonder Woman openly groans "oh, it gets worse..."

Just Hit Him

comment
Just Hit Him: A near-permanent fixture of the show's fight scenes. The number of times characters actually took a punch can be counted on one hand. It's particularly evident with characters like Solomon Grundy, whose primary power is supposed to be his super strength, which meant that a lot of fights involving him consisted of him clumsily grabbing the opponent until they shook him off.

Frankenstein's Monster

comment
Frankenstein's Monster: Batman and Robin fight a manifestation of the Frankenstein monster summoned by Mr. Mxyzptlk in the New Super Friends episode "The Rise and Fall of the Superfriends''. The World's Greatest SuperFriends episode "The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein" has a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein combat the Super Friends with his own monster and create another monster resembling an amalgam of Batman and Superman armed with Wonder Woman's magic lasso by transferring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman's energies into a featureless target body. "The Monster of Dr. Droid" has an android in place of Frankenstin's monster, but the resemblance is obvious and deliberate. (Dr. Droid talks like Boris Karloff, his assistant is outright named Boris, he brings the android to life with electrodes, and the android terrorizes a nearby town but refuses to hurt a little girl)

Origins Episode

Origins Episode: Superman's origin of coming to Earth as an infant after the destruction of his home planet Krypton is revealed in the 1973 episode "The Planet-Splitter", the Challenge of the Superfriends episode "Secret Origins of the Superfriends" and the lost season episode "The Krypton Syndrome". In addition to Superman's origin, "Secret Origins of the Superfriends" also reveals Wonder Woman's history of being born from her mother Hippolyta creating a clay sculpture of a young girl and wishing for the gods to bring it to life as well as becoming Paradise Island's ambassador to the outside world by winning a tournament in addition to Green Lantern's origin of being a test pilot who was given his power ring by Abin Sur on the alien's deathbed. As indicated by the title, "History of Doom" tells the origins of the Legion of Doom’s members (mainly explaining Lex Luthor and Giganta's backstories and how the Legion was founded). The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Fear" revealed Batman's origin of going down the path of becoming a crimefighter after being orphaned by a thug shooting his parents. The episode was also notably the first time Batman's origin was told outside of the comics.

In one Comic-Book Adaptation, four of the Wonder Twins' Earth friends were possessed. He mentioned that the next time this happened, and they couldn't get an exorcist, "—Try an Exor Sister!" he goes, putting a hand on a stunned Jayna. Batman winces with an "Ouch!" saying that was one of Robin's worst puns.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Challenge episode "The History Of Doom" is set after the apocalypse and we learn the Legion of Doom launched a solar flare at the Hall of Justice to burn them up. The heroes turned on the Earth protective force field which unintentionally caused the flare to heat up the entire planet and kill everything on Earth, including the Legion of Doom. Some human-like aliens visit the ruins and decide to reverse time and put the moon in position to absorb the flare instead, saying "Everybody deserves a second chance".

Didn't Think This Through: While Firestorm thought having Cyborg on the Super Powers Team would be cool in "The Seeds of Doom" and that Cyborg might not be hesitant if someone his own age helped him, Cyborg argues Firestorm has one thing Cyborg doesn't: a secret identity which lets people accept him as normal. It was hard enough to be accepted as he was, Cyborg argues, but as a member of the Super Powers Team...? Once he helps foil Darkseid's "Seeds of Doom" plot with his sonic blaster, though, it's a moot argument: Batman claims it's time Cyborg joined — "You can see how much we need you." Cyborg accepts, and Firestorm shows him around, while Cyborg knows some kids who'd love to meet Firestorm.

Evil Genius
 Superfriends / int_90769dd0
comment
On the villain's side, Scarecrow, Riddler, and Black Manta are the most oft-criticized. Black Manta's only claim to fame is his Sea-Saucer, a spaceship-submarine in a series where both sides have much more impressive gear at their disposal; in most episodes, he seems to have no role except to menace Aquaman or use generic capture-the-Superfriends devices. Scarecrow can conjure crows, which does little more than mildly annoy his enemies, and his fear gas is heavily weakened from "make people afraid of everything" to "make people afraid of one specific thing, which I need to have on me to make it do anything." — and even those abilities only showed up on The Super Powers Team season; during Challenge he had no abilities or theme whatsoever. And Riddler is supposedly an Evil Genius playing Criminal Mind Games, but he's on a team with a good half-dozen other genius-types who don't feel the compulsion to send their enemies clues, making him come across as The Millstone.

The boy manages to get to his feet to throw it away so Superman defeats the robot. He and his parents thank Superman for helping him get over his mental block. As soon as they're gone, Superman absently tosses the "Kryptonite" about in his hand.

Ret-Gone: The Challenge of the Superfriends episode "Secret Origins of the Superfriends" had the Legion of Doom attempt to alter history to prevent Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern from existing by preventing Kal-El's rocket ship from making it to Earth, Cheetah beating Diana in the tournament she was supposed to win and Lex Luthor taking Hal Jordan's place when he is summoned by Abin Sur. The rest of the Super Friends end up finding out what happened and go back in time to fix history and restore the three heroes to the timeline.

Took a Level in Badass: Before, Apache Chief could only grow to fifty feet tall. In the episode "The Man in the Moon", The Atom managed to upgrade his powers so he could grow to unlimited sizes. He kept this upgrade in later episodes. In early appearances Brainiac is just a green humanoid without a decent pair of pants. Later seasons have him upgrade to a stylized metallic skeleton, and occasionally threatening the entire league on his own, without the Legion of Doom supporting him.

Not Now, Kiddo: This happened on a regular basis in the 1973/74 season. About every other episode Wendy or Marvin would try to get the attention of one of the superheroes, usually when they were talking to someone else, and the hero would tell them to wait. They would sometimes give Wendy or Marvin a chance to speak once they were done discussing the more important matter, but not always. "The Baffles Puzzle". When Wendy and Marvin try to tell Robin about Wonder Dog sneezing at the museum, he brushes them off. "The Fantastic Frerps". When Marvin tries to tell the Super Friends about his strange adventure with the disappearing shack, Superman tells him to wait till later, as they have an emergency. "The Menace of the White Dwarf". Wendy and Marvin's bicycle disappears while they're at a gas station. When they try to tell Superman about it, he tells them to hold it a minute. "To Hot To Handle". When Wendy tries to tell Superman that she and Martin have discovered a man who is turning up at the site of heat wave disasters, he tells her to wait because Professor von Knowalot is talking.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: The Legion of Doom invents teleportation, invisibility, Time Travel, and casually constructs an entire planet inside a black hole... and they usually use these marvels to rob banks and attempt to foil one or two of their enemies. (And while they often had taking over the world as their main goal, money was usually a secondary one)

Merchandise-Driven: A slight example with the final two seasons, which were designed to tie in with Kenner's Super Powers Collection toyline, which necessitated the introduction of Darkseid and crew. Still, not many other toy-based concepts appeared, as broadcast regulations would've likely gotten ABC in trouble if they'd gone the route of The Transformers.

Red Eyes, Take Warning: 1973/74 episode "Menace of the White Dwarf". The evil Mad Scientist Raven (who acts more like a Comic Book supervillain than any other opponent the Superfriends faced during this season), has red eyes. The evil Superman from the 1979 episode "Universe of Evil" has red eyes as well, and for bonus points, they're ringed in black, with freakin' huge demonic points◊. Evil!Batman and Evil!Robin also have red eyes in place of their good counterparts' plain white eyes.

Adults Are Useless
 Superfriends / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: Many times in the original series it was Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog that got in contact with the Villain of the Week and manage to figure out their plans and sometimes even talk them down, leaving the actual superheroes with mop-up duty. The comic series had a bunch of new classical element-based villains appear, and they took down the core 4 easily. Then Robin and the Wonder Twins step in and they curb-stomp the villains. It's kind of justified both times, as the villains were specifically set against a hero that their powers would be most effective against (such as the "Earth" villain transmuting stone into Kryptonite against Superman), and the help that arrives for them has seen the villains in action, now knows what they can do, and they are now the ones going for an opponent they can counter (for example, sending Zan, who can turn into a giant wave of water, to take out the fire-based one).

Totally Radical: In the first episode of the 1973/74 season, "The Power Pirate," Wendy and Marvin speak like 60's hippies, regularly using terms like "groovy," "cool," "right on" and "far out." Apparently the writers figured out how silly this sounded and Wendy and Marvin don't speak like that in any subsequent episode.

Defector from Paradise: Remarked upon in the 1973-74 series episode "Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C.", wherein Professor Goodfellow creates a master computer that can regulate thousands of robots around the world, automating almost every human activity. He theorizes that this will spark a new Renaissance of human research and creativity. Instead, the professor is told that many citizens had resorted to vandalism, fighting and anarchy because they had nothing else to do. This is an inverted case of this trope, because of the occurrence of unrest and subsequent rebellion within a Utopian setting due to its idyllic nature instead of defection.

Grodd calls Luthor out for destroying the Superfriends and the Legion of Doom. Subverted when the time-traveling aliens decide to restore the earth with a Deus ex Machina by going back in time and putting the moon in front of the solar flare, sparing the Earth from Luthor's ill-conceived plan.

Notably Quick Deliberation: In the 1973-74 episode "The Menace of the White Dwarf", the supervillain Raven puts Superman on trial. At the end of the trial the jurors find Superman guilty without even leaving the jury box or deliberating. Justified because the jury is made up of Raven's robots, who are programmed to find Superman guilty.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 Superfriends / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The villains on this show love death traps and other needlessly complex schemes. Averted in the episode "Super Friends: Rest in Peace" where the Legion of Doom uncover the Noxium crystal (an element created by unseen former Legion of Doom member Dr. Natas said to be composed of all the Super Friends' weaknesses) and they seemingly take out all the Super Friends with this incredible weapon — which they throw away when they're finished. But then it turns out to have all been a ruse by the heroes, to ambush the Legion and arrest them. Giganta and Grodd once created an android version of Gleek that shot disintegrating laser from its eyes to destroy the Super Friends in the lost season episode "Two Gleeks Are Deadlier Than One". It had practically the same results of the "Super Friends: Rest in Peace" plot. Lex Luthor actually had a good answer for this in World's Greatest Super Friends episode "Lex Luthor Strikes Back". Had Luthor just shot the heroes he caught in his traps, they wouldn't be able to save him from the villains that double-crossed him in that episode. In fact, it was Luthor who saved them from his own death traps. Luthor would need help again in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show episode "No Honor Among Thieves", when Darkseid double-crossed him (after Luthor tried to double-cross Darkseid, mind you)

By the Lights of Their Eyes: Three 1973-74 episodes. "The Power Pirate". When Wendy and Marvin are trapped in a dark room, initially all the audience can see is their eyes. "The Planet Splitter". When Doctor LeBon's assistant closes the observatory's door and shuts off the outside light, we see Wendy's eyes floating in the darkness. "The Shamon U". While Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog are hiking up Mystery Mountain in the dark, they see two pairs of glowing eyes approaching them. The eyes turn out to belong to Batman and Robin, who were following them.

The Team Normal: Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog in the 1973/74 season, with one exception. In the first episode "The Power Pirate" Marvin is able to levitate, which indicates he has burgeoning metahuman powers. This is never followed up in subsequent episodes (making it Early-Installment Weirdness), and at the end of the season they are all Put on a Bus. Batman and Robin have no superpowers at all, just their gadgets and skills.

 Superfriends / int_cce399
comment
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Aquaman, naturally. Somewhat surprisingly, some episodes threw this out the porthole when he had to face off with a giant octopus or squid that was either under someone else's control or just plain wouldn't respond to his telepathy. ... and then there was the one where he got caught by an invisible killer whale. You'd think, given that he is always able to communicate with whales, especially in this series, he'd convince it to let him go and maybe turn it against the villain that let it loose in the first place. But no, he ends up needing Superman to help free him and send the poor thing flying into the undersea horizon instead.

Anti-Villain: Almost every villain in the original 1973 series had a good cause, but was just going about it the wrong way. Most of the villains in the first segment of each All-New Superfriends Hour episode were this way, too. For example, Dr. Fright wanted to end war and crime; The Collector wanted to ensure that monuments were preserved for future generations; the Secret Four wanted to end pollution and conserve natural resources; the Shark wanted to end exploitation of sea life; Dr. Cranum wanted everyone to enjoy enhanced intelligence and mental powers; Dr. Amy Zahn wanted to make women physically equal to men in hopes it would make women socially equal to men; Dr. Droid wanted to make a race of androids so that humans would never have to work again; etc.

Adaptational Wimp
 Superfriends / int_d500b978
comment
Adaptational Wimp: Multiple characters on both sides in Challenge, in part because of the "no-punching" rule at the time. This especially hit melee characters like Hawkman and Solomon Grundy. The Scarecrow, who is usually written as considerably more of a threat in the comics in part due to his use of fear-inducing chemical weaponry, is one of the weaker Legion members, though he was corrected to a degree in The Super Powers Team. Super Friends also bears much of the responsibility for Aquaman's perception as useless, since it downplayed his non-aquatic powers in an attempt at Cast Speciation. Darkseid never physically fights, and he becomes exhausted whenever he uses his Omega Beam. Despite it keeping its Homing Lasers aspect, the Omega Beam misses several times, and it gets toned down to an Agony Beam instead of a Disintegrator Ray when it is used on a living being. The first time Superman is hit by it, he is able to resist it with some struggle. The second time, he straight up No Sells it.

Joker Jury: The 1973-74 episode "The Menace of the White Dwarf" and the Challenge episode "Trial of the Super Friends", although due to character-holding rights, neither episode featured the Joker. An All New Superfriends Hour episode has DC phantom villain Gentleman Jim Craddock subject Superman and Wonder Woman to a trial for subduing him years earlier, with him as the judge and prosecutor and the jury made up of the world leaders that he kidnapped and turned into ghosts up to that point. Needless to say, the Amazing Amazon and the Man of Steel are found guilty and sentenced to haunt an old swamp mansion as ghosts for all eternity.

Legion of Doom: The Trope Namer made their debut in Challenge of the Superfriends, where Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor teamed up with 12 other villains (fellow Superman villains Bizarro, Brainiac and Toyman, Wonder Woman villains Giganta and Cheetah, Batman villains Scarecrow, Riddler and Solomon Grundy, Aquaman villain Black Manta, Flash villains Gorilla Grodd and Captain Cold and Green Lantern villain Sinestro) to hatch schemes to defeat the Super Friends in every episode.

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?
 Superfriends / int_dd3272bb
comment
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? Aquaman became this to viewers. His primary abilities (swim fast, breathe water, talk to fish) are so specialized as to essentially require an episode to be written to accommodate him. The fact that he tends to fumble even in those obligatory aquatic setpieces is a major reason he became so mockable. As well as Hawkman, whose only power (flight) wasn't even provided by his own wings. Half the team has either flight or Not Quite Flight, making him incredibly redundant, and his record in combat is nothing short of sad. On the villain's side, Scarecrow, Riddler, and Black Manta are the most oft-criticized. Black Manta's only claim to fame is his Sea-Saucer, a spaceship-submarine in a series where both sides have much more impressive gear at their disposal; in most episodes, he seems to have no role except to menace Aquaman or use generic capture-the-Superfriends devices. Scarecrow can conjure crows, which does little more than mildly annoy his enemies, and his fear gas is heavily weakened from "make people afraid of everything" to "make people afraid of one specific thing, which I need to have on me to make it do anything." — and even those abilities only showed up on The Super Powers Team season; during Challenge he had no abilities or theme whatsoever. And Riddler is supposedly an Evil Genius playing Criminal Mind Games, but he's on a team with a good half-dozen other genius-types who don't feel the compulsion to send their enemies clues, making him come across as The Millstone. Zan of the Wonder Twins. Jayna's power is kind of cool: she can turn into any sort of animal from any planet (including mythical creatures — she's become a mermaid, a centaur, and a sphinx in the comic, and a winged serpent in the cartoon). Zan turns into water. And ice. And unlikely ice constructions. That's it. Congratulations, Zan, you just made Aquaman look cool by comparison. Some old Cartoon Network ads lampooned this without mercy. "I could be defeated by a sponge! And it wouldn't even have to be an evil sponge!" And he's another underutilization case. Just ask Marvel's Hydro-Man what you can do with that power. In fact, he could apparently do ANYTHING he could describe with water or ice. He even transformed into an ice jetpack which Jayna then wore in her eagle form to fly at supersonic speeds! How does Jayna get to an emergency? She turns into an eagle. How does Zan get there? He turns into water. Then he has to flow into a pail so Gleek can carry him while Jayna carries Gleek with her talons. To the point where they super-buffed him when he appeared in Justice League. He still turns into water, but he can turn into any form and volume of water. He could become a complete ocean or a mist that covered a continent. For the Wonder Twins, it was more that they were written to be inexperienced (and borderline-useless comic relief) rather than any flaws in their actual powers. When faced with an army of cavemen in "Planet of the Neanderthals", they quickly and easily took out the whole group by turning into a brontosaurus and a gigantic hand made of water, and in "Mxyzptlk's Flick", they easily defeated a T. Rex by turning into an enormous spider and an ice catapult (Jayna webbed it up, and then Zan catapulted it into the distance). But normally they turn into small, weak, and/or overly-specialized-to-the-point-of-ridiculousness shapes, which leads to their defeat and capture.

Team Member in the Adaptation

comment
Team Member in the Adaptation: Robin is presented as a core member of the League. While Dick would be a member on two occasions, both were after he became Nightwing, the first was part of an emergency team and the second was during his second tenure as Batman during Batman (Grant Morrison). Cyborg, originally a member of the Teen Titans, becomes a member of the Justice League in the final season, way before Smallville, James Robinson, and the New 52 came up with the same idea. DC's version of Jungle Princess Rima from the novel Green Mansions was also a member during The All-New Super Friends Hour. The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Wild Cards" reveals Royal Flush Gang member Ace to be a disguised Joker, when in the comics the Clown Prince of Crime was never a full-fledged member and merely worked with the Royal Flush Gang on occasion.

Aside Glance: Marvin, Wonder Dog and other characters in the 1973-74 series. Wonder Dog does it on a regular basis, usually when Marvin says something stupid. He did it several times in "The Power Pirate" when Marvin made stupid puns and at the end of "The Weather Maker" when Wendy and Marvin did an "Everybody Laughs" Ending. In "The Power Pirate", Marvin tries to impress Wendy and Wonder Dog with his fake British accent. When he fails, he turns to the camera and shrugs. At the end of "The Planet Splitter", Wendy and Marvin take away Wonder Dog's steak bone (he's on a diet) and leave. Wonder Dog pulls out another steak bone, takes a bite out of it and winks at the audience. In "Too Hot To Handle", the alien agent Kobar does this after Wonder Woman delivers an iceberg to Dairyland (a farm area in the heart of America). He's a little smug because he's responsible for the heat wave that required Wonder Woman to obtain the iceberg in the first place.

Artistic License – Physics 1973/74 episode "The Shamon U" A "The Wedge Principle" example when Superman picks up a full size sperm whale and carries it back to the ocean. The whale could never have survived that much force being applied to such a small point on its body. Superman uses the vanes (sails) from a windmill to blow a space cloud away from Earth, despite the fact that there's no air in space for the vanes to work on. 1973/74 episode "The Weather Maker". A Weather-Control Machine freezes the water of a pool solid without the necessary weather conditions (such as a blizzard). Also, the water in the pool completely thaws out a few minutes later, which should have taken hours. An iceberg splits off a glacier, sinks completely under the water and continues descending. This is impossible, about 10% of the iceberg should stay above the surface. Made worse by the fact that when an iceberg appears later, the narrator specifically says that icebergs can have up to 90% of their bulk below the water.

Canon Immigrant: The Wonder Twins immigrated into the mainstream DC Universe as members of the Justice League International spin-off, Extreme Justice. They also appeared in Smallville. Wendy and Marvin also appeared in a 2006 issue of Teen Titans, one year after Infinite Crisis. And then, Wonder Dog kills Marvin by mauling him to death and injures Wendy so seriously that she's left paraplegic. There are two attempts at Samurai, one during Justice League of America 80-Page Giant #1 in 2009 and another during James Robinson's Justice League of America run, and DC Rebirth saw the appearance of El Dorado. Additionally, during Joe Kelly's JLA run, Manitou Raven, an expy of Apache Chief, appeared. Apache Chief and most of the Super Friends-exclusive heroes also appear in Captain Ersatz form in the DCAU as the Ultimen, although with a Darker and Edgier backstory. The Samurai analogue (Wind Dragon) didn't have the original's Combo Platter Powers, just his wind-related powers. Shifter and Downpour (Jayna and Zan) didn't have to touch hands to transform and were more obviously alien-looking. Juice and Long Shadow's powers were more or less unchanged. (There is no El Dorado analogue) The Wendy & Marvin in Teen Titans bore little resemblance to the Super Friends characters. They were fraternal twins, whereas the pair in the animated series were not related to one another. Wendy and Marvin later appeared in Young Justice (2010), appearing much closer to their original designs than they did in the comics. Analogues for Apache Chief/Long Shadow, El Dorado and Samurai (gender-swapped in the latter's case) were also part of Young Justice (2010), but with altered powers. Tye Longshadow couldn't actually grow, but he could project an astral form in the shape of a giant that he "piloted" from within. Asami "Sam" Koizumi had chi manipulation that gave her multiple abilities (but not Samurai's wind, fire, or invisibility). Eduardo Dorado Jr. had El Dorado's teleportation but none of his illusion-making powers, though he stopped in an analogue in the revival and outright took up the codename "El Dorado". Static fills in for Black Vulcan. The Wonder Twins are featured in Young Justice (2019), as Justice League interns who help the titular team out.

When Things Spin, Science Happens: As Seanbaby noted, it seemed like every problem Superman dealt with was solved by him spinning very very fast.

Depending on the Writer: The series has had some discrepancies between iterations on how red kryptonite works, with the only thing consistent for all appearances being that the way exposure affected Superman would always be different (though this was accurate to the comics of the time). The first instance it came up was in the New Super Friends episode "Terror from the Phantom Zone", where red kryptonite subjected Superman to Rapid Aging and he could only return to normal by exposing himself to blue kryptonite. This was contradicted by the 1980 series episode "Revenge of Bizarro" (where exposure gave Superman extra arms and legs) and the Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show episode "Uncle Mxzytplk" (where Superman was de-aged into a Bratty Half-Pint), both of which established that the effects of red kryptonite were temporary and would wear off after a few hours. The only other episode featuring red kryptonite to go with its effects being undone by exposure to blue kryptonite is the 1981 short "Bazarowurld", where the way Superman was affected by red kryptonite was being turned into a frail geek with no powers.
