Synopsis

The evil Drifter moves in to take over the town of Good Haven with his helper (who looks like Frankenstein's monster). Overlooking the town, the Drifter unveils a sinister new weapon: an anti-gravity gun so powerful that it lifts the entire town 6,000 feet in the air. He agrees to let the town back down again for $10 million. A call goes out for the Mighty Heroes...

Production notes

Five awkward, inept superheroes fight crime in the town of Good Haven.

This series was a parody of the superhero genre. The Mighty Heroes used their weird superpowers to battle menaces like The Enlarger, The Shrinker, The Ghost Monster, The Frog, The Shocker, The Raven, The Monsterizer and The Scarecrow.
