Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Galaxy Trio vs. The Duplitrons (1967)

It's been far too long since we checked in with the Galaxy Trio.

An alien war monger captures Meteor Man (Ted Cassidy) and builds an android duplicate, having previously done the same to the Chief (Don Messick). Spektor, not to be confused with the Gold Key comics hero, intends to have three Earth countries declare war on each other. Mike Road (The Herculoids) is also heard in "The Duplitrons":



For some reason, much of the background music from the Birdman lead feature was used here more than usual.

Rating: B.

I've always thought that the Galaxy Trio were kind of cool. It's too bad that Vapor Man, Meteor Man and Gravity Girl weren't revived for Hanna Barbera's Space Stars in 1981.

It's a shame, yes, that the producers decided not to bring them back. However, they did make their DC Comics debut in a 1-shot in Future Quest Presents #4. Beyond that, it's probably back to obscurity.
