I believe that the Mr. Terrific show has about an average guy (in sitcoms
this means one who is a klutz) who, with the help from a government
created SUPER FORMULA, became Mr. Terrific. The drawback was that this
formula only worked on Mr. Terrific (thus eliminating a whole army of
supermen) and the formula only worked for 24 hours. The star who played
Mr. Terrific used to be in Cracker-Jacks commercials (Jack somebody).

At about this time, NBC had a superhero show called 'Captain Nice' which
I believe was produced by Mel Brooks. Its' hero developed his super formula
in a police crime lab.
