Anybody remember UltraMan?

Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 09:36 PM by nu_duer

He was an otherworldy metallic super hero that was "channeled" by a member of the Science Patrol. Every week, as the Science Patrol spung into action, UltraMan, with his various super powers, fought monsters/aliens that threatened earth. UltraMan had his weakness, tho - the little flashing light on his chest indicated his power level, and when it began to blink rapidly, his time was getting very short.

Anbody remember this stuff:

Ultraman:

The Science Patrol:

The Monsters:

1. I loved that show

still do. I have several tapes worth of the old shows and the 7 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army movie (no subtitles). It's the trippiest thing I've ever seen.

He held up the "beta capsule" and said something...

edit: actually, according to that website, he doesn't say anything. Could have sworn he did.

Same station showed Kimba and Speed Racer.

9. where's that creepy Zebra-looking monster?

Didn't it have some crazy hair or something? And could disappear?? Anyhow, I watched these guys all the time on the best channel of the '70s in DC, Channel 20. They showed Everything, so it was a rush to get home from school.

11. this guy?

I don't remember exactly what it was he did. The one monster that stands out is the one with the giant lobster claws and the one that looked like a siamese, uh, monster.

This dude has all the monsters at this link, with a lot of other UltraMan stuff:

10. Using the beta capsule, Hyawata (?) becomes...

ULTRA MAN! I loved that show when I was a kid. About the only thing I can remember is that when the light on his chest started blinking, he had to head back into space or he'd die.

When I was in high school, some friends and I did an "Ultra-Man" spoof. Some highlights (or lowlights, as the case may be):

The theme song:

Ultra Man! Ultra Man!
Here he comes from the sky...SPLAT!

Using the beta capsule, Hyawata becomes...ULTRA MAN!

(Huge crashing sounds)

"Whoops, guess I should have gone outside before doing that..."
