Super Friends: Wonder Woman and The Atom

The All-New Super Friends Hour introduced The Atom as a guest star in 1977. 'The Cable Car Rescue' is a team up with Wonder Woman in this animated short by Hanna Barbera. Here Wonder Woman uses her super-strength to deflect falling boulders and rip a clean slate from a rock-mountain to save civillians while Atom uses his atomic power. The Atom's first TV appearance was in the 1967 animated series Aquaman.

aren't there more superfriends episodes with wonder woman and the atom? i once saw one named "elevator to nowhere" and it was about they travel in time. don't you have it?

[AdzFlickz]

Yes there are. In 1980 the Super Friends expanded their membership and the story you mentioned first appeared that year among others. Eventually that will be on here.

I've always had to laugh at the way these adventure toons from the 70s and 80s had the characters wasting time talking about how they had no time to waste.

ice cream sticks? who calls it that

I remember in the comics he could do most of those things already. Speed when he'd go through phone lines, flight by gliding on wind currents, super strength through his size & weight controls.

i am particularly fond of the SF episode "The Man in the Moon", which featured the Atom AND Apache Chief against a monster that burst the moon and tried to eat Earth.

I love all the new powers they gave to the Atom. Atomic speed, atomic vibrations, flight, and super-strength. And I thought he'd be no help rescuing a cable car.
