Production notes

The Mighty Mightor, took place in prehistoric times. Tor, a teenaged caveman, acquired a magic club from an old hermit whom he and Tog, his pet, had rescued from a dinosaur. When Tor raised the club in the air and shouted, "Mightor!," he was transformed into The Mighty Mightor, a Jurassic superhero, while Tog became a fire-breathing dragon. Mightor had super-strength as well as the ability to fly, and his club wielded powerful force rays and was impervious to fire.

While the idea of a caveman superhero may seem far-fetched, there were plenty of dangers that threatened Mightor's village, such as Korg and The Serpent Queen, not to mention the occasional angry T-Rex or volatile volcano.

Chief Pondo, Tor's father, ruled the village, while Tor's sister Sheera added to the excitement by getting herself kidnapped on a regular basis. Tor's brother Li'l Rock, who enjoyed dressing up like Mightor, often fell into enemy hands as well.

Over a decade later, Hanna-Barbera revived the prehistoric superhero concept in the form of Captain Caveman. This time, the idea played strictly for laughs.
