The Super Globetrotters

Article

The Super Globetrotters was an American Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC. It premiered on September 22, 1979 and ran for 13 episodes.

It was a spin-off series from Hanna-Barbera's Harlem Globetrotters; this show featured the basketball team Harlem Globetrotters as undercover superheroes, who would transform from their regular forms by entering magic portable lockers carried in Globetrotter. Each member of the group had individual super powers and overall, all members of the group could fly.

The Globetrotters received their missions from a basketball-styled talking satellite called the Crimeglobe (Frank Welker). Most episodes culminated in the Super Globetrotters challenging the villain and his henchmen to a basketball game for whatever treasure or device they sought; the civilian Globetrotters were always trounced by the villains' super-powers in the first half, then used their own super-powers (often at the admonition of the Crimeglobe) to save the day in the second half.
