When the heroes aren’t fighting off the villain of the week, they spend most of their time arguing among themselves. The characters frequently use their special moves from the games, except for Stryker, who doesn’t get to use his gun because it’s a kid’s show. Almost all the fighting is done against non-humans like Tarkatans or cyborgs, which means it’s OK for the good guys to smack around people without soccer moms getting upset. Oh, and that green-clad ninja who turns out to be an acid-spitting lizard? That’s Komodai, not Reptile. Oh, sorry, that’s not Baraka, that’s ‘Kabrak’, who is an entirely different character that just happens to be a general of blade-armed mutants. The show does a pretty good job of representing the different characters that had shown up in the series to that point, even more obscure bad guys like Rain and Baraka. Most of the episodes involve some kind of bad guy showing up with a bunch of mooks to take over Earthrealm.
