Shame that one never happened.

As I recall, they were going to use Hydra in place of Nazis, just as the film eventually did. But I think by that point Fox Kids had gotten squimish about using any kind of guns, so it kind of made the whole thing pointless.

I remember seeing the design for Cap in Wizard magazine and thinking he looked king of Mike Wieringo-like...which was weird as Ringo never worked on Cap, to my knowledge. I was excited for it, but I can't say I was much of a fan of the Marvel/Saban style, relying on heavy black shadows. They always seemed to be moving independently of the characters, and I thought them very distracting on X-Men.

Did the Thor footage ever get released online? I have it somewhere on a VHS tape...

What Thor footage??

[Blue Meanie]

I have a couple of slides from the promo of the series. I'll have to search my other drives I have. Looked like it would have been really cool to see the show. Don't think it would have passed the PC test these days.

What Thor footage??

Saban produced a Thor demo with Fabio. It was one of the last shows there were attempting. I have the sizzle reel somewhere.

Thanks for this but now I know why it slipped my mind, it was not Marvel Comics's Thor.

I would have loved to watch. This also explains the tiny spark light up shield on the 90's action figure.

Well, I mean, it is. It's not a generic red-beard Thor. Fabio worked with Marvel and Saban. It's closer than the Thor from the Hulk movie.
