i do not know if this is the right news group, but i figured i give it
a try anyway. here goes..
about 10 or so years ago, there was a cartoon that spoofed the super-
hero cartoons of that time. there were 5 'super-heros' that had
'normal' occupations, but quite bizzare super hero qualities. i can only
remember 4 of the 5 characters. they are :
1 - diaperman (a baby)
2 - coocooman (worked in a clock shop)
3 - ropeman (a sailor)
4 - tornadoman (don't know his occupation)
my questions are : what was the fifth persons name (i remember he was
a large guy, i think he worked in a body shop), and what was the name
of the show?
thanx for any help you can give me!

The occupation of tornadoman was weatherman. Be watching you in the comics. LEG Lynn Gurske.

Wasn't Tornadoman a weatherman in real life? Bob Cromwell

I don't remember the name of the fifth character, but I believe that the name of the show was _Amazing Heros_ and that it was directed by Ralph Bakshi (_Heavy Traffic_, _Fritz the Cat_, _Wizards_, _The Lord of the Rings_).

They show him reading a ticker tape in a high rise office. It is Kookooman, not coocooman. The fifth member was Strongman, who was an auto mechanic (though he tossed a car aside at the start of every program, ouch!). The group was called: The Super Heroes!!!!!

I seem to remember a guy with magnetic gloves and another guy who rode around on a guitar (remeber this is sat. moring cartoons). Another superhero show of that era was "The Impossibles" which consisted of three guys who were duisguised as a rock band but when trouble arose turned into 1) a guy who could turn into water 2) a guy who was made out of springs 3) I can't remember what the third guy was. ANYBODY REMEMBER ? tozz@nmt-vax

ANYBODY REMEMBER ? > > tozz@nmt-vax The Impossibles were a rock group who, when called by their boss, changed into invincible crime fighters. The third guy could duplicate himself infinitely (like spreading an infinite deck of cards out on an infinite table). This allowed him to get over high walls, get on top of tall buildings, etc. Their names were something like Fluid Man, Spring Man, and Multiple Man. They were usually in the middle of a gig when called. Ken Olsen {ihnp4,ucbvax,cbosgd,decwrl,amd70,fortune,zehntel}!dual!ptsfa!kmo

(As long as the original was all right, everything was groovy. They pretended to be a rock band, but at the sound of trouble, they turned into who they *REALLY* are. Coily played the drums, Fluey played the electric guitar, and Multi played the bass. Rally Ho!! Alan ..tektronix!reed!schmidt
