These four heroes would periodically guest appear in the Wonder Twins episodes to give their Exxorian protégés a hand when the going got tough. In addition, Justice Leaguers like Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and the Atom appeared frequently. Occasionally, villains like Bizarro and Mr. Mxyztplk would show up to menace our heroes while non comic book threats like the Incredible Crude Oil Monster, the Voodoo Vampire, the Outlaws of Orion, and Diamond Jack all provided our heroes with some great challenges.
