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.
