This was a two episode 1960s
Batman-style superhero comedy series that aired in 1979. The entire second episode was a roast hosted
by Ed McMahon where villains who tried to destroy the Earth in the first
episode were allowed to come and go freely.
All appeared in both episodes unless noted by (1) or (2). Since only a
few civilians appear, the entire cast is noted. Ironically, only one actor to
play a villain in the first episode (Weather Wizard) is still alive, a second
villain from the second episode, Giganta (reformed on the show) is also alive.
