It was created to satisfy a WB mandate for a “kids show like Buffy,” and despite not having any teen drama, it certainly had that dark edge to it that drew younger viewers to Buffy.

The episode Disappearing Inque has one of the most grotesque moments in any kids show I’ve ever seen. A man wants the powers of the supervillain Inque, who’s basically a slime woman. Well, she gives him half a vial of whatever gave her the powers. It turns him into a puddle of melted flesh, unable to hold his head an inch off the ground.
