He and his henchmen are stopped again and again by Dr. Sharp and his Bionic Six, a multi-cultural family of bionic people. Some fantasy technology, but excellent plots. A very good sci-fi show. Featured many voices that went on to other shows, such as Frank Welker and Brain Tochi.

The Bionic Six was a cartoon shown on US TV from 1987-88. The show only lasted for one season of 65 episodes. It was set in the "near" future, and consisted of a politically correct family. The father was a test pilot and gourmet cook, the mother a marine biologist, with four children. The blonde-haired daughter (Meg) was a Valley Girl, the brown-haired son (Eric) was on the high school baseball team, the African-American son (J.D.) was top of his class, and the Oriental son (Bunji) was learning karate. They and Dr. Sharp had to constantly stop Dr. Scarab, Dr. Sharp's evil brother, from taking over the world. Dr. Scarab had five terrorists he created to help him in his evil deeds. The Bionic Six were given their powers by Dr. Sharp's bionizing machine, and were clearly superior to Dr. Scarab's technology. So Dr. Scarab often used tricky plots to try to capture or kill the Bionic Six while searching for the technological fountain of youth and immortality.
