Bringing Back the 80s: Super Powers 25th – SpeedForce.org
In 1984, Kenner launched a line of DC super-hero action figures under the name Super Powers. The toys were tied to the Super Friends cartoon, and each had an action: If you squeezed Superman’s legs, he would throw a punch. If you squeezed the Flash’s arms, he would run. Each figure also came with a 16-page minicomic starring the character and others
from the toy line.
Today, Crisis on Earth-Blog unites fourteen sites in celebrating this
landmark toy line.
