What's it about? First appearing in 1963s My Greatest Adventure, this hit series has proven both timeless and underground. Despite its lack of mainstream fame this series has all the conjoinables of a classic. The series story-line is so varied and creative the whole affair is like one giant acid trip. Regularity can be found in the team consisting of a Robotman with the brain of ex-NASCAR driver Cliffe Steele, psychitzo Crazy Jane, part-corporeal part-ethereal man-woman Rebis and team leader Doctor Niles Caulder. They recruit a living street while battling enemies like reality cutting crazies The Scissormen. Any further explanation would require a psychotic break.
Why is it good? This IS originality. The story manages to be dark and complex while still maintaining a light-heatred appeal. In all the madness Robotman acts as a sane character the audience are viewing the event through, making you feel bonded and deeply embedded in the adventures. It features a character called The Quiz who has literally every power you haven't thought of. Turning people into toilets filled with flowers? - Got that one too.
Why it should be a movie: Team based movies mean more super powers for your ticket price. This crazy trip of a comic allows free reign over the eyes and minds of the audience. Think Fear And Loathing with super-powers.
