zornwil Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Artie from Pete and Pete - I'm surprised Chromatic didn't say that, he "threatened" to play it in one of our games. Good Mysteryman candidate. Also, there was a Nickelodeon show where this girl could go virtually invisible (turned into a sort of semi-solid substance IIRC) and "fought" against this evil corporation locally that her father worked at. I thought Melanie Chartoff was on it but that doesn't show on her IMDB page and I can't remember the title - maybe someone else can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmarock Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 MASH?! Yes! Radar was a precog. He could tell when something was going to happen and what it was, sometimes several minutes before the fact. I think the mental power of Precognition counts as a superpower, even if it wasn't used for superheroic reasons.. Mags "Da Master List" which names only the shows, leaves much to be desired. Better to list them by character and team names. And: the Trickster was in comics books? Hmm. Didn't know that... I thought the character was created for Mark Hammill. Shows what I know.

One more show to add... Ultaviolet: Brits vs. Vampires with a hidden agenda. Correct me if it started as a comic/movie/bathroom grafitti/book.

farik Posted January 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Golden Years was based on a Stephen King Story in fact I think it was originally titled "Stephen King's Golden Years" As far as the Trickster being based in comics yes he was. He was the Flash's cheap version of the Joker the character has even been revived in the last year (of the comic) when a punk kid stole his gadgets from the Flash museum and adopted his crime legacy. In reference to Time Trax his superhuman ability was due to "evolution" physical and social. He repeatedly explained it by comparing how much "healthier" 20th century people were than 19th century people. By the way I think he would still belong on this list since I mentioned the contempoary setting is one of the criteria I use regardless of origin setting.

I will do what I can, far as characters, although the character(s) are named in the title or were the main characters. About Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly, yes he is, but does not fit the restriction of a exclusive TV origin, which M*A*S*H was based on a film of the same name, btw Gary Burghoff was the only actor from the film to play in the series. The Trickster appeared in Flash, The (Vol 1) #113 July 1960 which is way before the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Let's see, what other TV characters can I think of here... For starters, there's the father-and-son team from Blacke's Magic (Hal Linden and Harry Morgan; a magician and retired con-artist, respectively); Christopher George's character from The Immortal (IIRC, the character's name was Ben Richards); David Rappaport's character from The Wizard and, finally, the android police- man HAVEN from Future Cop.

bcholmes Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Another Thought Does anyone remember the Holmes and Yo-Yo TV show (I know that I was doomed never to forget it). Holmes was a cop whose new partner, Gregory Yoyonovitch (aka Yo-Yo) was a robot. Had such great powers as the ability to take polaroid photos by pressing his nose.

I was going to post that, but wasn't sure if that was the name. John Schuck played Yoyo (I think that's the spelling). He also had an opening/panel in his chest. Used to like that show.

Cool, thanks, neither my wife nor I could remember, and couldn't figure out a good enough clue to make the web search worthwhile. Much appreciated.
