From The Lost Media Wiki
Status: Partially found
Captain Sturdy is a cartoon pilot produced at Renegade Animation and created by Bill Waldner, Darrel Van Citters, and Ashley Postlewaite, that aired on Cartoon Network in 2001 as part of their second Big Pick Weekend, where it competed against nine other pilots to get picked up for a series, but lost.
The pilot episode shown was titled Back in Action, in which the ageing and retired Captain Sturdy reunites with his middle-aged sidekick Ultra Boy to save the world once again when the Union of Super Heroes turns out to be a greedy organisation that does not understand superheroes as much as it used to.
This episode has resurfaced online, but in low quality and not in its complete form. Footage of the episode can be found in this segment of the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Big Pick Weekend. A sequel was produced in 2003, The Originals, for Adult Swim. This episode is still fully available online.
