Referring to Bill Hanna's bio A Cast of Friends (1996), I come up with:

Sinbad Jr.
Space Ghost
Herculoids
Samson and Goliath
Mighty Mightor
Birdman
Fantastic Four
Shazzan
Galaxy Trio
Super Friends
Dynomutt (and Blue Falcon)
Teen Force
Challenge of the Gobots
Pirates of Dark Water
Captain Planet

(And that isn't counting Jonny Quest, who had no super-powers but did
pave the way for all the adventure-type cartoons that followed.)

I ask this question because I thought of an episode of "Bertstown" called "Stupid Men" and here are the Stupid Men...

I created a Group of Superheroes, like Justice League and The Marvel Superheroes. And here's the Superheroes...they're are 12 in Stupid Men!

The Stupid Men are a group of Stupidheroes who have no clue on saving the world, so they hang-out at the Professor's Basement where he shows them how to save the world and such. The Professor is in a wheelchair, like Professor X. His real name is Maximilian.

Stupid Man-The Leader of the Stupid Men and he has Greasy Jet-Black Hair and has a ? on his chest, he's very similar to Superman and he's actually a man named Dustin Warner who works at Save-a-Bunch.

Black Cardinal-He knows how to fight crime more than his other leaders. Originally, he got the powers under the angel Maroni and said that the last thing he saw was a Black Cardinal, whose colors are reversed. The Black Cardinal that he saw would land on his grave and it gave Maroni the powers that he couldn't tell Joseph Smith, so he gave it to this guy who has a crappy life named James Paul Warner. He's very similar to Puma Man and Batman.

Masked Musketeer-He's the 2nd smartest Stupidhero of the Stupid Men. He's from Quebec and used to work in Hanna-Barbera's 1st Theatrical Cartoon since "Tom and Jerry" from 1959 to 1965 and in 1986, as Loopy de Loop (Yep...I'm hoping to get a Hanna-Barbera Character on "Bertstown") saw that Ted Turner was selling a lot of props from M-G-M Films, one was a Three Musketeers Clothing and the other was a mask used in a few films, but when that mask and musketeer uniform was clashed...he became The Masked Musketeer. He's similar to The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Three Musketeers.

Quadriclops-A well-known white-and-nerdy boy, he has glasses that can shoot laser-beams. He's very similar to Cyclops. His real name is Martin Frederick.

Girl Woman-This blonde bimbo bitch acts like a girl when she wants and is very similar to Supergirl and is the 2nd dumbest Stupidhero. Her real name is Lisa Gusseppi.

Fu Bu-A Martial Arts Man who's highly into Godzilla and Japanamation. He looks like The Karate Kid and his real name is Martin Wu.

Flame-This guy can burp fire and fart fire. He looks like The Flash and his real name is Joshua Heimlich...and yes, he's gay!

Clear Man-This Guy is mostly invisible, his real name is Lionel Crinkelson, he's the black guy of the group.

Gambler-A man who was in Las Vegas wishes he would've stayed in Vegas. But he is very similar to Gambit and his real name is Luke Keenan Nelson.

Freezer-He has the power to freeze people and sleeps in a freezer. He's very similar to Ice Man and is named Ezekiel Jethro Nelson.

U.S.A.-She was born on the 4th of July and is a very patriotic woman. Her real name is Holly Holliday and is very similar to the X-Men woman Jubilee and Jean Grey.

Chili Chocolate Cheesecake-He's from Brazil and he says he got his powers from a cream cheese filled chili which accidentally fell into melted chocolate with a hint of coffee. He tried it and he loved it, but this chili made him into a stupidhero and is the 3rd dumbest stupidhero in the group. He's very similar to Mint-Berry Crunch and is named Paulo Ronaldo.

The plot of this episode is The Stupid Men try to fight crime because of the high lay-offs of the police force in Bertstown. They become very successful, but Stupid Man gets TOO powerful and very cocky that he leaves The Stupid Men and forms his own Stupid Men with his father Tony as the Italian Stallion, Margaret as the Pretty In Pink Lady, John Peanut Jr. (A Police Officer) as The Buckeye Cop, Bob Crinkelson as The Black Panther, and Ron Holliday as The Disgruntled Postal Worker.

The New Stupid Men make a bet with The Other Stupid Men that they (New Stupid Men) can save Bertstown better than the Other Stupid Men (With the Black Cardinal as the new leader). But something comes awry...A Bad Scenario (I haven't made my mind of what it should be) comes and Both Stupid Men Leagues try to fight it...but can't! So The Black Cardinal gets The Professor to find out if he has a group of Superheroes that can help The Stupid Men out. So The Professor talks about a League that he once formed in 1970 with...you guessed it...The Hanna-Barbera Characters that are Superheroes, and they help-out Black Cardinal's Stupid Men. It ends with the two Stupid Men Leagues uniting and fighting crime...but then most of the Stupid Men get bored with fighting crime so they go back to their regular jobs, since the Police Force of Bertstown got most of their jobs back.
