The Impossibles (Boomerang)

THE IMPOSSIBLES are a Monkees-like pop group that transforms into an unlikely team of superheroes, including Coil-Man (Hal Smith), who becomes powerful, stretchy coils; Fluid-Man (Paul Frees), who can turn to liquid; and Multi-Man (Don Messick), who creates multiples of himself. When these "secret fighters for justice" get a call from their boss, Big D., through a TV screen on Coil Man's guitar, they give the tunes a rest and set off to catch the bad guys, zooming around in their Impossicar, which morphs into a flying craft, and shouting "Rally-Ho!" as their battle cry. Their comical enemies are Fero the Fiendish Fiddler, who can crash an ocean liner with some mean music, and the Diabolical Dauber, who can turn pictures of weapons to life with a trick paintbrush. In one episode, the Perilous Paper Doll folds himself up and slips into the Pentagon to steal top-secret plans. He threatens Fluid-Man with "I'll staple you to the wall with my sonic speed stapler," but Fluid-Man simply turns to liquid to save himself.
