First Appearance: Defenders Of The Earth, Episode #1 "Escape From Mongo" (Marvel Productions in association with King Features Entertainment, syndicated cartoon, September 1986)
History: It is 2015. When Ming the Merciless threatens the safety of the world, a team of heroes and their teenage offspring band together to stop him, becoming the Defenders of the Earth.
Comments: The show was designed to bring several of the King Features heroes together in one showcase title. It only ran to one season of 66 episodes, but also spawned a short-lived Marvel comic (four issues), a short lived line of toys from Galoob, and a computer game.
