Space Stars

Space Stars is an hour-long Saturday morning anthology series produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC in the 1981-82 season. It combined new adventures of Space Ghost and the Herculoids with two new segments: Teen Force and Astro and the Space Mutts. Keene Curtis was the narrator in all segments. Each episode ended with a "Space Star Finale" crossover segment.

Space Stars: The Complete Series was released 8 October 2013 on DVD by Warner Archive.

Teen Force

Overview

The Teen Force consisted of three young heroes who came from Black Hole X, described by Curtis as "the gateway into our dimension".

• Elektra (B. J. Ward), a tall pink-haired woman in a silver suit, had mental powers including telekinesis and telepathy.
• Kid Comet (Darryl Hickman), a fair-skinned man in an orange suit, was the leader of the trio. His super speed caused his body to take on the appearance of an actual comet.
• Moleculad (David Hubbard), a black man in a green suit, had the power to change the molecular structure of any object, even his own body.

Accompanying the Teen Force were the Astro-Mites, Glax and Plutem (both voiced by Michael Winslow). Their main enemy was Uglor (Allan Lurie), a winged monster who sought to conquer the cosmos.

Elektra appeared in the third season of Jellystone!.
