Mighty Man and Yukk

Summary

Mighty Man & Yukk is an animated series created by Ruby-Spears Productions. It aired as part of the 1980–1981 show The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show.[1]

Synopsis edit

Millionaire Brandon Brewster (voiced by Peter Cullen) uses a machine to reduce himself to only a few inches in height and give himself superpowers, including super-strength and flight; in this form, he is the costumed crime fighter Mighty Man. His partner is Yukk (voiced by Frank Welker), the "world's ugliest dog"; this anthropomorphic dog conceals his face by wearing a miniature doghouse on his head. The sight of his face destroys anything Yukk looks at. Mighty Man and Yukk are called in by the unnamed Mayor (voiced by John Stephenson) of the unnamed city to fight different supervillains.

The series has strong resemblance to other Ruby-Spears creations at Hanna-Barbera Productions, such as Dynomutt, Dog Wonder.
