From wikipedia, forgotten Saturday Morning cartoonage -- Hero High is a cartoon and live action series created by Filmation that aired as part of NBC's The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam! It was about a high school where young superheroes were taught how to use their powers and fight crime. Originally intended to be a new entry in Filmation's long-running line of Archie cartoon series, the 1981 series was altered at the last minute because the company's rights to the Archie characters had expired and new characters had to be created.
Archie!
Veronica!
Jughead!
Betty!
Reggie!
Miss Grundy! Mr. Weatherbee! And... clearly a reworked Archie cartoon script, all very painful to watch.
But here's Betty riding Veronica:

2020
Solar Opposites (TBS):
Solar Opposites follows a family of aliens who leave their planet and settle in suburban America.
And that about covers it! Let me know if I missed any of the big ones!
Two of the first panels exist for real, but I wanted Mrs Marvel to keep her most modern costume; my favorite by far (even it's usually the contrary). And kept the kids she saved disguised even if I don't know the context. Fires or cars accidents are now of their business, but I couldn't help making Superman saving the cat up a tree, showing him caring even for littelest creatures.
Deux des cases du haut existent en vrai sauf que Mrs Marvel porte son costume le plus récent, mon préféré (contrairement à d'habitude). Et j'ai gardé les enfants déguisés même si je ne sais pas le contexte. Les feux et accidents de voiture sont maintenant de leur ressort, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de montrer Superman sauvant le chat de l'arbre, le montrant se préoccupant même des plus petites créatures.
Thanks to real life, I've realized a president is supposed to sell his business, after being elected...I don't think Lex sold Lexcorp to Mercy Graves (like in DCAU) or to Thalia Al ghul (like in the original arc). Seriously, why? (except "Thalia is actually nice" ? I don't buy it). It was sold to bisness woman Veronica Cale instead. Well "sold"...Lex still have an eye on it (and it counted for his impeachement). After, it was bought by Wayne tech.
Lex destroyed all Superman's statues during dark age, so, after his demise, of course a new one was built in front of the former Lex tower...
Art shift once again to evoke modernity (it sure changed a lot since very first pages).
Grâce à la vraie vie, je sais qu'un président est censé vendre ses affaires, après son élection...Je ne pense pas que Lex aie vendu Lexcorp à Mercy Graves (comme dans le DCAU) ou à Thalia Al ghul (comme dans l'arc original ). Sérieusement, pourquoi? (excepté "Thalia est en fait gentille" ? Je ne crois pas). Ça a été vendu à la bisness woman Veronica Cale à la place. Enfin, "vendu"...Lex avait toujours ses mains dedans (et ça a compté pour la destitution). Après, ça a été racheté par Wayne tech.
Lex avait détruit toutes les statues de Superman durant l'âge sombre, donc, après sa défaite, bien sûr qu'une nouvelle a été construite devant l'ancienne Lex tower...
Changement graphique encore une fois pour évoquer la modernité (ça a beaucoup changé pour sûr depuis les premières pages).
