10 Criminally Underappreciated Classic Cartoons

9. Mighty Mightor

Let's go back in time now, back from the eighties all the way to the prehistoric eras where Hanna-Barbera gave us all a second helping of "Space Ghost" that never got the same recognition or absurdist talk show spinoff that the galactic superhero received.

"Mighty Mightor" debuted as part of a programming block in Fall of 1967, right as "Space Ghost" was coming to an end. Similar to Space Ghost, Mightor revolved around a flying superhero saving the day from various monsters and villains with energy blasts and all-around coolness.

There's a couple of key differences here though, perhaps most important being that instead of having two kids and a space-suited monkey as sidekicks, Mightor had a dragon! Oh yeah, and he had magical powers granted to him by a big freaking club instead of some super-powered wrist gauntlets and a utility belt.

Now that's not to say that Space Ghost isn't cool. He's got his perks for sure. It's just that Mightor had a lot going for him too, and he never got an extended run talk show in the nineties, just saying.
