Top 10 Best Superhero Shows That Aren’t Marvel or DC

yeah you know I'm more like a big picture superhero saving the planet stuff like that why don't you give uh fight force a call Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 superhero shows that aren't Marvel or DC hold it no offense kid you can make some decisions what are you doing [Music] for this list we're looking at the best animated and live action shows in the genre that weren't made by one of those two big studios did we miss one of your favorites let us know in the comments number 10. Heroes they carry inside them the genetic code that will take their species to the next evolutionary rung it's Destiny this show made everyone keep saying if you save the cheerleader you'll save the world the program followed ordinary individuals who had suddenly been given superpowers whether they went invisible could heal others or fly each character was compelling many of them ultimately had to come together to save the world from an upcoming Calamity isn't this and you know it I can't let you die and I can't let everyone else the unique storytelling format allowed seemingly self-contained stories to become building blocks of a bigger story and judging by the high rating the series initially enjoyed viewers had to know what was next the show ran for Four Seasons before the story continued on Heroes Reborn while the series didn't quite maintain a consistently high level of quality it still had an impressive run as an original concept the dream becomes and the answer to this Quest this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself number nine girls [Music] who said Superheroes had to be adults a lab experiment that didn't go quite as planned led to the birth of the super powerful Trio of Blossom Bubbles and Buttercup the three kids all use their abilities to thwart big enemies in between dealing with the difficulties of being a young child no but you are don't you know you can never beat us it's definitely a different spin on the hero's tale when the protagonists punch monsters while worrying about losing their teeth they're trying to wean off a security blanket the show also had tons of meta humor and fourth wall breaks to enjoy for six seasons this adorable funny and Powerful Trio made up one of the most unique superhero teams out there so once again the day is saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls oh I just love these stories where you laugh and learn number eight raising Dion I picked them up how it's okay Mom they're playing with a name like raising Dion the series could be easily mistaken for a standard drama about the struggles of a parent raising their son however there is nothing typical about Dion at all based on the comic book of the same name the show explores how a young seven-year-old boy tries to cope with and learn how to control his unique abilities time to clean up the neighborhoods Dion's telepathy invisibility and his ability to exude rays of energy from his body all become important to his journey the series feels like a hybrid of a superhero origin series and the X-Files and with just two seasons to watch raising Dion is easy to get through and 100 worth checking out what are you doing Dion take a break let me talk to Tevin number seven The Tick the mysterious blue Avenger who has become Legend to the simple folk of this bus station but Glory will not distract him from his vigil ever since the tick started getting his own stories he's parodied superhero cliches and story lines while all his shows are worth watching the 2001 live action series with Patrick Warburton might be the best iteration of the character yet the actor perfectly captures the manic energy the character is known for and while warburton's naive nature could be annoying he makes sure the tick is always endearing throughout the show we saved a president yet the evening's greatest Victory is the Friendship Forge between this heroic Duo Inseparable the program's ridiculous plots and sharp humor were unfortunately overlooked due to lackluster advertising but if the tick were to appear with the same cast today we've been audiences would love it as much as we do and with the Newlywed friendship of his fellow Warrior he stands tall against the inevitable Horrors to come on Mothman to the rooftops number six Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [Music] [Music] if you would have told someone that four anthropomorphic crime-fighting reptiles named after Renaissance painters would be popular in 1986. they probably would have called you nuts but Against All Odds these Turtles became pop culture icons their debut showed that watching reptilian Brothers protecting New York City from ninjas and creatures could be ridiculously fun do you realize what this is the crucial piece of evidence we were looking for The Clue which will lead us to the heart of the evil ninja Empire not even better it's a place where we can get some pizza and since Raphael Leonardo Donatello and Michelangelo were so distinct from one another every viewer has someone they felt connected to the heroes in a half shell could occasionally get as cheesy as the pizza they craved but the fight scenes were so cool that we did not care decades after its debut this far out superhero concept still makes us say cowabunga done well by students well we're not done yet where's the shredder gone to number five Misfits it's your chance to do something positive give something back you can help people when watching any typical superhero depiction the focus tends to be more on their supernatural abilities than who the characters are as people Misfits sets itself apart from other shows by making their superpowers secondary in their storytelling the characters themselves are immature youth serving out a community service sentence when they acquire their unnatural abilities we don't tell anyone about this year about the storm and what it did to us or anything we're about to bury our probation worker we don't need to be drawn any attention to ourselves it is a delight to see how each character's gift is a unique reflection of their personality although they definitely don't want to be heroes they keep finding themselves protecting the public and each other full of quirky characters that don't take their powers too seriously Misfits is a character-driven superhero show that doesn't need lots of CGI super battles to excel It's You Falling in Love With You teach him to come back number four Mighty Morphin Power Rangers it's Rita she's escaped and she's attacking the plant teleport to us five overbearing and over emotional humans not majors in 1993 American audiences stepped into the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Command Center For the First Time created by combining original footage shot in the states with scenes from a Japanese program called Super Sentai the show followed teens that were chosen to fight monsters these young Heroes harnessed their own knowledge of martial arts with personalized machines known as Zords to fight off everyone who came their way viewers were blown away by both the action and how relatable the team protagonists were the show's success led to feature films comics and over 29 seasons of shows and Counting okay I gotta admit you did well rookie while fans might each have their favorite Ranger teams they can all agree that the Mighty Morphin team kick-started a phenomenon stop Rita and all her menacing monsters and ruining the universe with evil look over to win a crocodiles number three the Umbrella Academy gifted with abilities far beyond the ordinary I have adopted six such children I give you the inaugural class of the Umbrella Academy a man named sir Reginald Hargreaves managed to adopt seven of the 43 powered individuals who were all mysteriously born at noon on the same day although he dreamed that his kids would Thrive as a team called the Umbrella Academy this group eventually falls apart but after Hargreaves dies the seven have to reunite and fight together again what the hell did we do now viewers fell in love with the complex and extremely flawed characters as they tried to move past their trauma and thanks to their unique abilities the action scenes are unlike anything you can find in the genre while this family of superheroes may not want to work together regions of fans are very happy they did there's no time to explain those are new soul-timer [Music] my family you can't save them if you're dead number two Invincible good but try it a little more like this like what Mark Grayson starts the series as a seemingly ordinary teenager who has an all-powerful superhero dad but once the young man's powers come in he tries to make his Mark as a costumed man named Invincible invincible's right I'm out of my league except I've got money while that setup would be compelling on its own an early series twist hints that Mark's superhero Journey will get dark and speaking of Darkness Invincible has stood out with its brutal and extremely fluid superhero fight scenes fortunately the animation is still stunning when the characters aren't beating the stuffing out of each other the cherry on top of the Invincible sundae is a voice cast that includes heavyweights like Steven Yeun in the title role and the legendary JK Simmons their voices ensure this complex shows sores you might as well give up I'm before we unveil our top pick here are some honorable mentions the max the edgier stories and shifting animation Styles made this cult classic stand out I wish it was time for cheers [Music] it's time for vengeance I am not okay with this a 15 year old girl deals with her family trauma and Newfound telekinetic powers who the hell was it Todd McFarland spawn its commitment to very mature superhero stories was groundbreaking in the 90s job you got a deal for your soul Alphas an engrossing combination of a superhero show and crime procedural I can help you find them I can help you find them gargoyles a beloved cartoon focused on gargoyles protecting people at night it's a monster trash it [Music] before

the people given great power took zero responsibility for their actions after Hugh Campbell loses his girlfriend due to a superhero's carelessness he joins a team that seeks to expose the bad soups while his missions can get incredibly Bleak the show also Revels in blending drama and dark humor every episode of the boys goes out of its way to parody an aspect of superhero media not even you
