Loved it as a kid.

It really comes as a surprise the limited number of episodes for this series (just 18 episodes).

I didn't care much for Frankenstein Jr., but boy!, "The Impossibles", they were something else!

A Quartet of musicians (like the Fab Four) that were also superheroes, real fun concept, silly superpowers and the drawings were slightly stylized, great, healthy, harmless fun.

If you can see these, I highly recommend it!
