All five of the Mighty Heroes had the power to fly. Individually, they were: •
Strong Man has super strength. He speaks with a friendly farm-boy type of accent and holds a civilian job as a
mechanic. His favorite fighting move is his "jet-propelled blow", by which he will fly into a villain fist-first. According to the 1998 comic book, his real name is Gomer Steed. •
Rope Man is a
sailor who works at the docks. Erudite with a British accent, he can transform into a seemingly unending length of
rope. He can use his hands like
lassos, and can even weave himself into a
net. The drawbacks to his powers are that he frequently gets tangled up or knotted, more often than not, around his own teammates. According to the 1998 comic book, his real name is Chap Goodlee. •
Tornado Man is a television weather forecaster who can spin himself into a
tornado. He often sucks the villains into his
vortex, then shoots them out toward the nearest wall. He speaks in a wheezy voice. According to the 1998 comic book, his real name is Dusty Storm. •
Cuckoo Man is a bird shop owner whose powers are the most limited of the group. Unlike the other Mighty Heroes, all four of whom can fly with no effort, Cuckoo Man has to flap his arms almost constantly in order to keep aloft. The conclusion of every episode always shows him lagging behind the others as they fly off into the distance. Cuckoo Man changes into his costume by jumping up through the bottom of his store's
cuckoo clock and popping out through the little door. While the other Mighty Heroes's flying is accompanied by a "jet" sound effect similar to
Mighty Mouse's, Cuckoo Man's is represented by a chugging jalopy-engine sound. According to the 1998 comic book, his real name is Mortimer Moore. •
Diaper Man is a red-headed,
diapered, yet fully articulate baby, as well as the leader of the group, who sounds a lot like Popeye the Sailor Man. His main weapon is his
bottle, which, by holding on to the
rubber nipple, he can swing around (or shoot like a
slingshot) forcefully. The bottle can also shoot high pressure streams of baby formula. In emergencies, Diaper Man (and often Strong Man) will drink some formula from the bottle whenever extra strength is needed. None of the real names of the Mighty Heroes were ever revealed, nor were origin stories told for any of them, in any of the animated cartoons. In the 1998 comic book, they got their powers and costumes when a meteor-like being crashed down on Earth; his duty was to grant mighty powers to the most deserving people on the planet, but in this case he made a mistake. Nevertheless, the empowered quintet were determined to prove that they were indeed worthy to be called the Mighty Heroes. ==Episodes==
