Super-Stretch and Micro-Woman from the 1970s.

Although Tarzan and the Super Seven lasted one season, Superstretch and Microwoman were a first in many ways. First, they were among the first animated African American characters to be portrayed as the main heroes rather than sidekicks. Secondly, it was one of the first married couples presented on Saturday morning cartoons, and third, Superstretch and Microwoman represented a series of new heroes generated outside of the comic medium.

While only having about ten episodes, Superstretch and Microwoman none the less were a unique part of the Saturday morning landscape in the 1970s, albeit only briefly.
