Well they've been telling us about OP Mockingbird quite a while ago(1965). Meet the first TV Hero picking up the matter. Roger Ramjet is a patriotic and highly moral — if not very bright — hero, who is typically out to save the world, with help from his Proton Energy Pills ("PEP"), which give him "the strength of twenty atom bombs for a period of twenty seconds". The world is invariably saved by defeating the various recurring criminals who populated the series.
On government missions assigned by General G.I. Brassbottom, Ramjet encounters various nemeses during his missions. Typically he is caught, and must be rescued by his crew of sidekicks, the American Eagles: Yank, Doodle, Dan and Dee (a play on "Yankee Doodle dandy"). Although his Eagles appear to be children, each of them, except for Dee, flies his own individual ramjet aircraft expertly, and they are obviously much more savvy than their leader.
The various recurring criminals include:
The Solenoid Robots, evildoers from outer space who talk in barely understandable electronic voices.
Gangster Noodles Romanoff and his evil organization N.A.S.T.Y. (National Association of Spies, Traitors and Yahoos). Noodles wears dark glasses, a fedora, and a trench coat. His hands are always jammed into his jacket pockets. His band of No Goods consist of several lookalike henchmen clad in hats and coats, who simultaneously utter incomprehensible phrases.
Red Dog the Pirate, a short, squat scourge of the seven seas with a wiseacre parrot for a sidekick.
Foreign spy femme fatale Jacqueline Hyde (a play on Jekyll and Hyde).
Tequila Mockingbird (a play on To Kill a Mockingbird), her boyfriend Beef Enchilada and his brother Chicken.
