| The Super 6 | comment |
The Super 6 was a 1966 animated comedy by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.Interestingly enough, in an era replete with superhero satires and parodies and efforts to imitate the Camp appeal of the Adam West Batman craze, The Super 6 was more of a Work Com that happened to involve freelance superheroes for hire. Though the characters exhibited the standard Saturday-Morning Cartoon simplicity of characterization, the focus of most episodes involved how they responded to the episode's task, not their powers and not their opponents, with little if any commentary one way or the other on Superhero Tropes.The title characters are super heroes who work at Super Service, Inc., where people can call in to request help from a superhero.The lineup includes: Super Bwoing - A rather scrawny sort with laser vision who rides his guitar into action. He tends to be a bungler. Super Scuba - Much like Aquaman or Sub-Mariner, he deals with underwater cases, aided by Bubbles the Mermaid. Elevator Man - He wears a belt which enables him to grow or shrink when necessary. Magneto Man - His gloves give him magnetic powers. His sidekick is Cal, a boy with a brilliant computer-like brain. Granite Man - He is a stone statue that comes to life to fight evil. His sidekick is a pigeon named Percival. Captain Zammo - He travels to past eras. Often he has his assistant, Private Hammo, do the dirty work for him.Also part of the show is an unrelated short called "The Brothers Matzoriley" who are basically three heads in one body. Weft, the left head, is a Moe Howardesque tough guy. Wight, the right head, is a wimpy coward. Wong, the middle head, is a Chinese stereotype.Has been released on DVD.Not to be confused with Big Hero 6. | |

Miles Gloriosus: Captain Zammo, who acts like he's the greatest thing ever but makes his sidekick do all the work (and then berates him for getting messy doing it). Subverted with Super Scuba, who also acts like he's the bee's knees but is shown to be a competent crimefighter in his own right. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Super Bwoing's voice is an imitation of Jimmy Stewart. The episode "The Mummy Caper" has a villain named Mr. X who's an Expy of Sydney Greenstreet, along with a Lorre Lookalike henchman. | |

| The Super 6 / int_65bd0e27 | comment |
Treated Worse than the Pet: In one episode, the Brothers Matzoriley must solve the disappearing of a rich lady's dog. Said lady wasn't that fond of her Henpecked Husband, going as far as telling him to get up from his armchair, so her precious dog would sit there. Unsurprisingly, he is the kidnapper. | |

Depending on the Writer: In his own segments Captain Zammo's usually more concerned with looking good than fighting evil, making Private Hammo do all the dirty work. He guest stars in one of the Super Bwoing segments and flies right into battle with a giant robot, something a lot nastier than anything he runs into in any of his solo adventures, without once saying something about his outfit getting messed up or calling for help. | |
