The Impossibles was a series produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1966 broadcast by CBS. The series of shorts (six minutes each) appeared as part of Frankenstein Jr. and The Impossibles.

Setup
Posing as a trio of young rock n’ roll musicians, the Impossibles were actually crime-fighting superheroes dedicated to fighting supervillains of all shapes and sizes. When performing for their adoring fans (usually starstruck, screaming teenyboppers) the lads would play their mod, futuristic-looking guitars (somehow with no drums) atop an equally futuristic bandstand (emblazoned with their “Impossibles” logo on the side, ala Ringo Starr’s drumkit) that can convert into a car (called the Impossimobile) or a jet (called the Impossijet) a speedboat, or even a submarine. Their standard catch cry when called into action was “Rally Ho”. Their humorous dialogue was typically peppered with puns. As with many Hanna-Barbera characters, the Impossibles were topical and inspired by the times, in this case, resembling the rock n’ roll musicians of the mid-sixties. Each episode usually began with the villain pulling off an improbable caper while the Impossibles were busy performing across town. The team was called into action by their chief “Big D” (voiced by Paul Frees). After a series of funny super-powered forays, the Impossibles capture the villain and continue to finish their concert.

Trivia
The eponymous superheroes have no known real names or backstories, so I’m giving them some.

It never occurred to the groupies that the rock group and the superheroes are the same since they have the same group name.
