Challenge of The Super Friends!
62
Oh Yeah....that's the stuff. aaaaaaaaaahhhhh
The Fab 5 are always there no matter who tags along.
I Love The Superfriends!
Now that statement can mean a lot of things because there were so many different lineups on the Hall of Justice hero roster. No matter what series the following 5 Super Heroes were always there.
Superman
Batman
Robin
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Superman a/k/a mild mannered reporter Clark Kent is the all-purpose Super Hero who has great strength, can fly and impervious to everything but Red Kryptonite.
Batman & Robin a/k/a Millionaire Bruce Wayne and his ward the boy wonder Dick Grayson who defend Gotham City with Alfred's help.
Wonder Woman a/k/a Princess Diana of the Amazons is sometimes seen flying her invisible jet but is always packing her magic lasso.
Aquaman who's claim to fame is that he communicates with the fishes and is generally perceived as useless unless you're writing an episode of Entourage of course.
As a Kid I Wanted to Be Green Lantern soooo bad.
After "The Fab 5" there are several cool members of the Hall of Justice from the Challenge of the Superfriends series (pictured above) in which they would all face off against the awesome villains from The Legion of Doom. Those were..
The Flash
Green Lantern
Hawkman
Apache Chief

These were multi-cultural heroes for a whole new generation.

- Who's Your Favorite FICTIONAL Band?
mroconnell asked for this Hub so I'm giving it to 'em! He wants to know what my favorite FICTIONAL rock band was. Josie and the Pussycats? The Silver Platters from The Brady Bunch? - Top 40 Kids TV Shows from my Childhood
WACKY RACES (featuring Dick Dastardley & Muttley in the Mean Machine, Penelope Pitstop in her Compact Pussycat, Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific - Star Wars vs. Star Trek ~ (Rounds 1 & 2)
This comparison has been debated before on the internet I'm sure, as it has in coffeehouses, libraries and homes for decades now. Which one is better and is it even possible to compare them?

Love it DJ, thanks! (Oh, and don't forget the 'i before e' rule for "chief")...!
Thanks for that spelling correction WC, I've been spelling that wrong since....The Superfriends.
I see you're bringing back the old school with the superfriends. Batman has always been my favorite since he was just human except he had a lot of money and knew how to kick butt. I'm also surprised Aquaman didn't get beat up more in the show.
Again and again and again.
Wow. I never got into American cartoons, with one or two exceptions. I watched manga, now called anime, through my youth. So it was Speed Racer, Astroboy (atom), Kimba, Gigantor, and stuff like that. It wasn't until I was much older that I developed an appreciation for these characters. I guess I'd want to be Swampthing.....
My nine year son love the super friends in fact he has a game on the ps2 about super friends it quite a good game .
Wow...The Superfriends. I love it. DJ ,another great hub! More Please!
