Challenge of the Super Friends is the ultimate animated
all-star contest of good versus evil. The original Super Friends (running
from 1973 to 1977--Wonder Twins and Gleek anyone??) was made up of the greatest
DC Comics superheroes fighting together to uphold justice for all mankind.
Overall, it was a pretty good show, but getting stale very fast. In 1978, the
superhero animation bar was raised high when the first (and only) season of Challenge of the Super Friends hit the Saturday morning circuit.
Immediately these 16 episodes made up the best that Super Friends had to
offer for one reason alone: the creation of the Legion of Doom, banding together
the 13 most sinister villains of all-time from remote galaxies. Led by the
sinister genius of Lex Luthor, the Legion of Doom was dedicated to take over the
universe, and only the Super Friends, led by Superman, Wonder Woman and the
Dynamic Duo, dared to challenge this intergalactic threat and bring them to
justice. |
