This, is great!
Takes a while to load, but great!
oooh…
I just spent ten minutes naming then all to my daughter the geekling.
Some of those characters are not heroes, much less super heroes.
Does the jpg have an answer key somewhere?
Am I giving away my age by saying I recognized every single one of those shows?
Though I couldn’t name all the Doctor Who robots, I do recognise 95% of the characters and ships in that amazing pic.
What a ripoff! Where’s Salvage 1?
Ok, in no particular order there are ships/characters from the TV shows:
Battlestar Galactica
UFO
Battle of the Planets
The Man from Atlantis
Quark
The Six Million Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman (with her bionic dog, Max)
Spiderman
the Hulk
Captain America
Wonder Woman (the pilot version, with Cathy Lee Crosby)
The Invisible Man (a short lived series that starred David McCallum)
Dr. Who
Buck Rogers
Land of the Giants
Planet of the Apes
Space 1999
the Greatest American Hero
Mork and Mindy
Logan’s Run
The only one I’m not certain about is the guy with the duffel bag over his shoulder. I’m assuming that’s Bill Bixby/David Banner from the Incredible Hulk
Absolutely - That’s one of the most important ones!
I wasn’t completely sure about yellow swim trunks guy, but figured it was Man from Atlantis. Also not sure about duffel bag guy. He seems familiar.
Damn, I definitely grew up bored in the 70s. Watching all of this dubbed into Spanish , to boot, yet I still remembered all (…waitaminnit, where’s Ark II?).
Well, all except for Duffelbag Dude, if that’s supposed to be Banner it’s not a great rendition.
Where was he? I didn’t see him!
Oh, never mind.
What the hell is with Spider-Man’s belt and weird shaped eyes?
Edit: Having now seen Hulk and Cap, it must be an adaptation of the character.
Could duffle bag guy be Lucan, the raised-by-wolves dude?
In the TV version starring Nicholas Hammond, Spidey had a utility belt and a very awkward web-shooter on his wrist.
Did that series even run a full season?
Actually, he’s the guy to the left of the Tardis, peeling his glove off. In that show the invisible man had rubber gloves and a mask that somehow looked good enough that they were his real face and hands.
The following year there was a similar show called the Gemini Man that also lasted only half a season. In it a secret agent made invisible in some sort of accident wore a watch that allowed him to remain visible. He could turn it off, but only for fifteen minutes a day or he’d die (or maybe he’d stay invisible forever. I don’t remember which).
Yeah, these are the TV versions.
Hm, you could be right. It was a guy who’d been raised by wolves traveling around the country trying to find his real parents or something.
And about the lamest wall-crawling special effects you could ever hope to see.
I have to give the artist credit…I’d never heard of that series, and when I saw him my first though was ‘why is Illya Kuryakin’s arm invisible?’ so that’s a pretty good likeness.
Missing in action: Bill Bixby’s The Magician and Kwai-Chang Kaine. Not exactly super, but they and the Six Million Dollar Man were rather important shows to me in junior high.
I also wouldn’t have minded seeing the Mystery Movie crowd, but I guess that’s a little far afield of the mission.
Duffel Bag Guy is definitely David Banner, no worse-drawn than Lee Majors.
The one to the right of the TARDIS is the Giant Robot from Tom Baker’s first story in 1974.
The one just to the right / above Lee Majors is SV7 from another Tom Baker story The Robots of Death in 1977. SV = “Super Voc” as they could talk, other robots in the story couldn’t.
Some people (myself included!) think the model work in Robots of Death was just about the best ever in classic Who.
