The Mighty Heroes, which first aired on CBS during the 1966-67 season, was the first cartoon series I ever remember watching. The hero team featured Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man and - my favorite at the time, since I was about 3 years old - Diaper Man.
The series originally aired as part of the Mighty Mouse Playhouse and was created by Ralph Bakshi, who would later helm Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures (and do a lot of other stuff, too). The guy who did the voices of Strong Man, Diaper Man and Tornado Man apparently was also the voice of the Jolly Green Giant and Charlie the Tuna.
If this just whets your appetite, you also should check out the 1993 song "The Mighty Heroes" by Indianapolis punk band Sloppy Seconds.
