In episode 139 of the Man of Screen Podcast, Mike Zummo marches into a new era of Superfriends coverage as he leaves behind the seven-minute short episodes and heads into Season 8, best known as “The Legendary Super Powers Show”.

The first weeks episode is a two-parter covered as one episode. Were going to meet a new ally, Firestorm, and were going to meet three new key villains hailing from Jack Kirbys Fourth World.

Next time: Four more Legendary Super Powers episodes: “No Honor Among Thieves/Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Magic Lamp and The Case of the Shrinking Superfriends/Mask of Mystery.
