What Was It?

<div class="IPBDescription">This one cartoon I remember..</div> When I was about 6 or 8 years old, I remember I watched this one cartoon where there was this skinny wimpy-looking idiot in a skin-tight hero suit and it was in space or something. Anyways, this princess lady always gets captured and the wimpy kid has to go save him, except he's a wimp and a coward. But whenever he gets in a fix, these brainwave things would come out of his forehead (think Aquaman), and he'd turn into this ridiculously biff hero that kicked tons of ****, and then after a while he would transform back.
I cannot, for the love of my soul, think of this cartoon's name.
Anyone remember it?

    Sounds like Mighty Max, but I'm not sure. I only have vague memories.

    I'm pretty sure that's not Mighty Max.

    Mighty Max had Virgil the bird, Norman the big beefy guy, and that skeleton-dude guy enemy thing...

    The ending of Mighty Max was such a cop-out... stupid circular stories.

    That sounds liek Mighty Max all right. Those brain waves you speak of were his magic hat, I believe.

    There's a Princess in Mighty Max? Man I miss that show.

    I pulled out the action figures, and now I doubt that it's that. He wasn't in space for one, and no princess. Cool show though. What kind of bird was Virgil again? An owl right? And what did the hat do?

    No, it wasnt Mighty Max. I know for sure it was future-like, and the main villain was this ugly alien dude who commanded an eeevil army.
    When the wimp transformed, he would beef up, and get this seriously Jay Leno-looking hero chin and he'd blow up a lot robots with his blaster. This hero-ness had a tendency to suddenly stop in the middle of battle, so it would show the ugly alien doing his evil laugh as the wimpy kid got surrounded by laser guns and then it goes to a commercial break.

    There was also a very hard game made for it, I think for the playstation. You basically watched this cartoon episode, and AS THE CARTOON IS STILL RUNNING, you control the wimp by making dodge near-impossible shots. I dont think even told you what button to press down or anything, you just have to hit down or left and watch to see if the wimp dodges it or not. Worst part: One mistake and you start AAALLLL over again. But it was still cool, cuz as his Aquaman waves came out you had to hit this button rapidly and then he'd transform, and then you went all rambo....Of, it was only satisfying to watch. Playing was like....It was like Mario running straight towards a bottomless pit and you have no control over him except for the jump button. And then when you clear that pit you find 50 other ones, each right after the other, so you have mash that jump button. Same thing with this game, except you don't know which button does what, and that's a big problem when youve got as much buttons as the Playstation controller.

    Anyways, if someone could give a pic of which tv show they think it is, Im pretty confident I could pick it out. Thanks to everyone who's guessed. Im just really friggin curious about this show and its been buggin me all week.

    Space Ace?

    That's the only game I can think of that matches what you're saying.

    [edit] re-read everything you said, definately Space Ace. I didn't know that was a TV show though. I knew it was one of those annoying games where you had to do just the right thing at just the right moment, like that Castle Game with the same kinda lantern-jawed guy

    Wait how are Western Cartoons stupid? Oh wait... I forgot it's all about Anime and Punk Rawk. That's cool, right guys?

    I've never seen Space Ace, but looks alot worse than Mighty Max.

    I think he's referring to space ace being a stupid cartoon, in addition to being a western one...

    Correct. From everything I've seen about Space Ace it has stinkburger written all over it. I love many western cartoons though, I was not making a blanket statement.

    Oh, and BTW, this thread got me thinking of Darkstalkers again........does anyone remember that show? I havn't heard anyone say anything about it in years......

    Well, that makes it better than Space Ace...

    hmm...Space Ace....I somehow seem to recall that name somehow......nah they couldn't have aired that in Hong Kong....nah must be just me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    BUT, it is still a kiddie cartoon, so its mainly targeted for them. I guess its natural for us to go 'Space Ace r teh ugleh!' when we're older because well.....it's just us and evolution....:/

    That's Borf all right. In the game I know he has some sort of baby ray (I think it's called the infantaray) and to win you have to get him to zap himself.
