Super Friends Superman
Super Friends was an animated television series which ran from 1973 to 1986 on ABC as part of its Saturday morning cartoon lineup. In the Super Friends continuity, Superman was Earth’s premiere hero.
Voiced by the late legendary voice artist Danny Dark, this version was probably the silliest and least serious version of the character to have ever existed – aside from parody versions in shows like Family Guy, that is – but he was still just as powerful as other versions, all things considered.
He had catchphrases like “Great Scott!” and, while he was very intelligent, he was also extremely campy and liable to get into sticky situations. He was very different to any modern depictions of the character and it’s well worth watching him for some entertainment!
