Anyone else remember the classic Gilligan's Island episode when the castaways eat suped up veggies and each get super powers: Mrs. Howell has heightened speed, Mary Anne has heightened vision, Gilligan gets heightened strength...?

What TV show past or present do you think would work as a superhero team? I mean, if the characters on the show all suddenly got superpowers, which cast of characters would be interesting to see as a superhero team?

If you want to say which powers you'd like each character to have, that's great. Or you can simply pick the show and explain why you think the characters would make a great group of superheroes.

My first choice would be super-thirtysomething. Ellyn can't hold down a relationship because she has too much angst as super-amazon. Gary doesn't get tenure because he misses too many faculty meeting fighting crimes with his aqua-powers. Michael and Hope squawk at each other like a competitve Hawk-couple. I picture Elliot like Atom, with a sense of humor that masks low self esteem. The possibilities are endless.

I just watched the first two episodes of Lost.  I think Evangeline Lilly should have the same powers as the Peekaboo Girl, from Megaton Man's Megatropolis Quartet.
