Super Six plus four?

 

The Super 6 is an animated cartoon series which was produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises and Mirisch-Rich Television Productions in 1966, and shown on NBC from 1966 to 1969. This was DePatie–Freleng's first vehicle for Saturday morning.[1] Only one season of the show was produced, but NBC ran the series for three years in the same timeslot.[2] The show was a superhero spoof which featured six diverse characters working for Super Services Inc., offering "heroes for hire" under the supervision of the cranky Super Chief. Each episode consisted of three five- to six-minute segments, with the introductory segment featuring Super Bwoing and the last featuring one of the other five heroes.  The Super 6 theme song was performed by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.[4]  Back to me:

I really enjoy this series, though I could have lived without The Brothers Matzoriley, though I kinda like them.  However, they had several more heroes that made cameos, and even one got to be in an episode.
