I hadn't thought about this show in years until I was reading an issue of D.P.7 tonight, where their attention to the real world logistics of superpowers suddenly triggered a memory of this show.
I remember very little about it. Even the theme song wasn't familiar when I played the clip above. All I recall are his controlling his momentum while flying by using aerosol cans, his no longer needing them by the time of season two (?), and an episode in which the professor who gave him powers and assists him provides him with a machine he ends up using to cheat at pool.

Looking at the first episode, there seems to be a partnership with Marvel going on, as we see TONS of Marvel books and posters, but nothing from DC.
And I desperately want to know if that's a REAL nm Journey into Mystery #83 O'Connell's got his greasy little hands on.

I remember that show vividly and I did not think very highly of it. It's Tanked.

I remember this one. I was at the right age to enjoy it when it first aired. You have to figure that Marvel was planning a tie-in book considering how many of their books pop up in the background of the show. I wonder why we never saw one?

I remember this show. Didn't care for it cause it was so cheap and cheesy. I was just outside of its age-range too I think? So starved as I was for super hero entertainment, I only remember watching it in pieces here and there. I remember it specifically because there were a couple people l simply could not convince that the star was in fact "the fat kid from Stand by Me".
