Three of the more notable heroes not present were the Wonder Twins and Gleek. Challenge of the Superfriends in 1978 had the largest cast of the various series: 11 heroes and 13 villains (see Heroes Unlimited).The All-New Super Friends Hour was divided into two parts: one half-hour episode, and another half hour of Three Shorts, which typically followed a pattern: first, two of the original four heroes then, a short spotlighting the new Wonder Twins then, the main story with the entire team and finally, an episode spotlighting one established hero and introducing another hero, many (but not all) of whom would later appear on the next series: This and subsequent seasons included short segments on health, safety, crafts, stage magic and a simple word puzzle related to the show's main story. Episodes typically contained more action with the heroes having to get tough with their enemies and less unnecessarily forced point-making and plodding stories. Most notably, the "Junior Super Friends" were replaced with the shape-shifting Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, and their monkey, Gleek, who, unlike their predecessors, had actual useful superpowers (even if they were sometimes bad at using them). The series was revived in 1977 as The All-New Super Friends Hour, with some reworking of the concept.Subsequent seasons could conceivably be considered separate series, not unlike Super Sentai a.k.a.
