The Challenge

ORIGINAL AIR DATES: February 10, 1977

EPISODE NUMBER: 2

PLOT SUMMARY:

That's right, it's a superhero roast! And what's a roast without a proper MC? And that MC is Ed McMahon. What's special about this roast, is that it's a bunch of people in the hot seat, not just one guy. All of the heroes from the previous episode get their turn to be ripped on. And so the roast proceeds like any other. Weatherman shows up to berate the heroes as does Hawkman's mother to take apart her own son, but it's not until Ed introduces a not-so-well-known superhero in the minority that the train derails. Ed calls out...Ghetto Man. A black guy in '70s attire comes out to bash the heroes before flying away with the cry of -- KAREEM!

The derailment continues as the show starts to become more sketch-based rather than just having unfunny comics come on to rip the superheroes. One such sketch has Robin bummed because he totaled the Batmobile. Captain Marvel assures him that everything's cool...that is until right at that moment, Batman gets a distress signal and calls on Robin to follow him to the Batmobile. Robin does his best to avert Batman's attention from his car but being the detective that he is, Batman determines that the Batmobile is in fact totaled. And then the train finally goes off the cliff as the roast continues with appearances by Solomon Grundy, Sinestro and a musical finale by Mordru.
