Nightmask Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 SK ROCKS! Originally posted by farik 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. 1) Was titled "Golden Years" until it was released on video and DVD then retitled "Stephen King's Golden Years". He wrote the screenplay for tv, never released in print. 2) Been there Done that 3) Has been added (1/7/04) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I can't believe we got this far without mentioning Twin Peaks. Many characters, including Agent Cooper demonstrated some superhuman abilities. I would also like to add Special Unit 2. This short lived show was about Nick O'Malley and Kate Benson who were cops with access to super high tech gadgets. Another regular on the show was Carl, the invincible Gnome. Definately super human, hardly a hero, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomGM2602 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Wrong answer! Originally posted by McCoy No, Isis was a Golden Age heroine published by Fawcett. Not really, the show premered in '76 as part of the SHAZAM/ISIS HOUR on CBS on Saturday mornings. She later debut in aeight issue DC series and later returned [in animated form] as one of the FREEDOM FORCE on Tarzan and the SUPER 7.

Nightmask Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: Re: Acceptable...? Originally posted by bcholmes The Human Target was a DC Comic before it was a TV show, I believe. Also, some others that jumped into my head: - The Phoenix with Judson Scott - The Powers of Matthew Starr Both of those were pretty bad shows. Judson Scott was also a uncredited extra in Star Trek II as one of Khan's sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Cross Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 So that's why the other supermen were much younger than Khan.Obviously The Nitpicker's Guide To Star Trek needs an update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmask Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Clairification Originally posted by McCoy How far removed from the source material does a character have to be to qualify as a new character? If the TV Highlander is different from the movie Highlander, would The Charmings' Lillian White be different from all other evil step-mothers? If the character was not in the source material and has Super Powers, they are original TV characters (ie Ducan from Highlander). I am thinking about degrees of Space Ghost, kinda like Bacon. Space Ghost is one degree of Bacon. Kevin Bacon appreared on SGC2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmask Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: Re: Da Master List (any editing would be nice) Originally posted by McCoy Human Target was originally a comic book as was (I believe) Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.

Nightmask Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Originally posted by Ghost who Walks 1) You are correct, they usually refrained due to that entire "Lose soul to the Devil disadvantage". While the people they fought qualified as supervillains, I don't think Micki or Ryan were. Jack however, occasionally did cast a few minor spells... 2) Source: http://www.legacyweb.com/ ~Derek Rayne: Psychic: Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, and precognition. (usually in dreams or vision form) ~Nick Boyle: Ex-Navy Seal, carried a pistol. Used it against an animated doll in one episode (Chuckie clone) . Also drives a 64' red mustang convertible. I think the car qualifies him here, the trunk has a fax, phone, and laptop in it. ~Alexandra Moreau: Limited Psychic powers (less than Derek) ~Father Philip Callaghan: Catholic Priest. Is once asked if he is a secret agent for the Pope...does not deny it. ~Dr. Rachel Corrigan: Daughter of a witch, that Derek's father murdered. Aunt was a necromancer, grandfather a satanist. ~Kat Corrigan: Daughter of rachel. More ESP powers, in the last season she starts dabbling in the occult. Possesses the physical strength of a normal 8 year old girl who engages in moderate physical exercise. I stand corrected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven Walkur Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Does anyone remember "Sapphire and Steel"? I watched "Sapphire and Steel" in England in 1980, and in New Zealand the following year. I don't know if it appeared in the U.S. The show began with a list of icons representing the various team-members, and two are highlighted, while a voice-over announces that "Sapphire and Steel have been assigned." I think the characters were supposed to be modern-day humans fulfilling some kind of office, and I theeeenk David McCullum played Steel. I don't remember who the woman playing Sapphire was. The characters had psychic abilities and enhanced attributes...and some futuristic tech, I believe. Would they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmarock Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 How about some of the characters from "Dark Shadows" the original and the remake? (Ben Cross played Barnabas Collins, a vampire, in the remake) This supernatural soap opera had it all- vampires, werewolves, ghosts, witches, etc. Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Say, Nightmask, I noticed a few pages back that you had listed "Streethawk" as the name of the main character in Street Hawk. To be somewhat nit-picky, however, that was the code name for the super-cycle itself; the name of the main character was Jesse Mach (as far as I know, Rex Smith's only other TV role aside from his soap-opera work).

Space Cadet well, Steethawk can work without a cyclist... the cyclist is a skilled normal... Streethawk is the hero really more than the pilot.

loraxxx Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 i believe electra woman and dyna-girl were created for Kroft Tv by sam strangis (dyna-girl's real life dad)--he was also a writer for the 'batman' tv show.... speaking of the kroft's, anyone else remember 'bigfoot and wildboy? '--these two would spend entire episode just running and jumping (in $6 million dollar man-esque slow-mo!!) the kroft's also brought us 'wonder bug' (talking, flying gizmo-laden car) anad the 'bugaloos!' (flying pixie-fairy-brit-pop-rock-kids) other names i have seen mentioned here: QED--american dr. who rip off; and HYMIE--secret robot agent for CONTROL and pal of maxwell smart, secret agent 86 and his evil KAOS opposite, the fearsome GROPO....

Quentin Ernst (or Earnest?) Devereaux or some thing like that, or "Quite Easily Done". Now I have to find that tape - I think I have all the shows they made, assuming it was less than 6. That was an interesting show. Since we mentioned bigfoot, did you get the one in the Six Million Dollar Man? The android/bionic apeman/whatever who was in multiple shows?

Jack Random Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I just thought of a show not mentioned yet. There was a short lived War of the Worlds tv series, but I don't know if many of the characters would be considered supers, other than the wheelchair bound martial artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherSkip Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Unfortunately non of the War of the Worlds characters truly apply IMNSHO. most of the tech that could have made them superheroic was one shots at best. basically it was A-Team with aliens as the enemy hunters.....
