Although this was one of the first exposures of Super Sentai to the United States, it is not viewed as an official installment of the franchise to come.ĭuring a trip to Japan in the 1980s, Haim Saban had watched Choudenshi Bioman in his hotel room and became fascinated in the idea of multi-colored spandex superheroes defeating rubber monsters, later adopting an idea similar to Lee's. The six-episode series, simply titled Dynaman aired on Adult Swim. In 1987, a group of Canadian comedians called the 'The Kids In The Hall” had dubbed over footage of Kagaku Sentai Dynaman to hilarious affect. However, she and many other networks in which Lee pitched the idea to, turned him down as they found the idea 'hilarious.' Stan Lee, the late creator of many beloved characters at Marvel, became interested in adapting Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan and showcased it to Margaret Loesch, head of Marvel's TV division. In 1978, Marvel Comics and Toei created an highly successful adaptation of Spider-Man, which some of its elements were then implemented into three Sentai series that were later rebranded into Super Sentai.
