Ok, I know, there’s lots of those, but I have clues! Just nothing I can use Google on, so instead I come here. I know you guys will help.
Here’s what I remember: typical superhero team setup. I know most of them got their powers in the same manner–I can’t remember how. I know one of them was dead, he looked rather like the cryptkeeper. And one was a kid, but only his father and one of the other teammembers knew about it. He got his powers differently–he was in an experiment or something that gave him the ability to change himself physically for a certain period of time, after which the shell would become a pile of green goop and he’d climb out of it back to normal. He was a big muscle man named Prime (only name I remember).
It used to come on USA Network early in the morning. I wish I can remember the name but I’m pretty sure it was based off of a Malibu Comics series and their “Ultraverse.” It’s been a number of years since I’ve seen the show and I never read the comics.
Ultraforce, actually. And it was based off Malibu Comics’ Ultraverse characters: Prime, Ghoul (the Cryptkeeper-looking guy), Hardcase, Night Man, Topaz, and I’m not sure who else was in the show because I didn’t watch it. But there was an action figure line and everything. Marvel Comics later bought all of Malibu’s Ultraverse characters and essentially shelved them forever, cutting down on the competition.
That sounds like a Tick line, which I discovered comes on one of the cable networks on a weekend morning. Unfortunately I can’t remember what network and what time.
