This teen-oriented fantasy adventure centered around a strange group of young people with bizarre physical abilities. They were being studied by Los Angeles' Humanidyne Institute. Not content to live like laboratory rats, they formed a team to fight crime led by scientist Billy Hayes of the Institute. Others included: his coworker El Lincoln, a 7 foot 4 inch black man who could shrink to just 6 inches in height by touching the back of his neck; Johnny B., a rock musician who was once zapped with 20,000 volts of electricity and could now shoot electricity from his fingertips; and reformed delinquent Gloria (played by none other than Courtney Cox--post-"Family Ties", pre-"Friends"), whose telekinetic powers could levitate objects.
A cute concept but very formulaic and repetitive. Kids may have liked it at first, but eventually even they got bored.
