Interestingly enough, in an era replete with superhero [[SatireParodyPastiche satires and parodies]] and efforts to imitate the {{Camp}} appeal of the Creator/AdamWest Series/Batman1966 craze, ''The Super 6'' was more of a WorkCom that happened to involve [[PunchClockHero freelance superheroes for hire]]. Though the characters exhibited the standard SaturdayMorningCartoon simplicity of characterization, the focus of most episodes involved how they responded to the episode's task, not their powers and not their opponents, with little if any commentary one way or the other on Main/SuperheroTropes.

How To Create A Works Page explicitly says "No bolding is used for work titles." Short works get double-quotes


* '''Super Bwoing''' - A rather scrawny sort with laser vision who rides his guitar into action. He tends to be a bungler.
* '''Super Scuba''' - Much like ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} or ComicBook/SubMariner, he deals with underwater cases, aided by Bubbles the Mermaid.
* '''Elevator Man''' - He wears a belt which enables him to grow or shrink when necessary.
* '''Magneto Man''' - His gloves give him [[HollywoodMagnetism magnetic powers.]] His sidekick is Cal, a boy with a brilliant computer-like brain.
* '''Granite Man''' - He is [[LivingStatue a stone statue that comes to life to fight evil]]. His sidekick is a pigeon named Percival.
* '''Captain Zammo''' - He travels to past eras. Often he has his assistant, Private Hammo, do the dirty work for him.

Also part of the show is an unrelated short called '''The Brothers Matzoriley''' [[MultipleHeadCase who are basically three heads in one body]]. Weft, the left head, is a [[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe Howardesque]] tough guy. Wight, the right head, is a wimpy coward. Wong, the middle head, is a Chinese stereotype.
