The Crimson Cougar

History

It's a low budget show with average ratings. The main character is played by actor Mitch Goodman. This former stunt-man was forced into the role of a real hero when, along with two of his co-workers, Mitch thwarted a robbery in progress at a neighborhood AstroMart store. Thanks to the help of his telekinetic SFX partner, Martha Sullivan, and the distraction provided by Eric, his actor colleague, the Crimson Cougar dispatched the crooks and made headlines.

After a few additional (low by the standards of typical super-hero) adventures, the Crimson Cougar was defeated by a new, unproven villain called the Dark Centurion. His fame quickly faded, and the career of the Crimson Cougar ended in disgrace. Licking his wounds, Mitch moved to Los Angeles to restart his career, not as a superhero or a stunt-man, but as an actor.

Powers

On TV, his gauntlet-mounted claws could be fired. But in reality, he's just some guy.
