Strongman, Cuckooman, Ropeman, Tornadoman, and Diaperman: together they form the Mighty Heroes, an animation highlight from the waning days of Terrytoons, best known for earlier characters such as Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle. The most amusing aspect of their adventures is their persistent politeness when trying to defeat a foe. For example, Ropeman might accidentally tie up Strongman in his efforts, prompting a “Sorry Strongman” from Rope. Animation legend Ralph Bakshi was in charge of these efforts that still hold up to this day.
