==Plot==
The League of Freedom is a [[superhero]] group that is led by the aging superhero Titanium Rex. From their base called SuperMansion in the fictional city of Storm City, Titanium Rex and his fellow superheroes Black Saturn, American Ranger, Jewbot/Robobot, Cooch, and Brad struggle to keep the team relevant when occasionally visited by the government accountant Sgt. Agony even if it involves fighting an assortment of supervillains like Dr. Devizo as well as Titanium Rex's daughter Lex Lightning.

In season two, Dr. Devizo and Lex Lightning form the Injustice Club in order to combat the League of Freedom. In addition, the League of Freedom deals with a Subtopian invasion led by Titanium Rex's older brother Titanium Dax.

In season three, the League of Freedom has to share the SuperMansion with the Injustice Club in light of Dr. Devizo helping to stop the Subtopian invasion.


==Cast==
==Cast==
* [[Bryan Cranston]] as Titanium Rex
*[[Bryan Cranston]] as '''Titanium Rex''', the aged leader of the League of Freedom and main character. Mirroring ''[[Superman]]'', he is a superpowered man who wears a cape, and happens to be the last of his kind. (although his kind were simply humans who lived underground). Active since the late 30s, His leadership stems from his super strength, flight, adaptability, and great wisdom. However, his old age hinders him in many ways (''i.e,'' back pain, bladder issues, [[erectile dysfunction]]) to which he is pressured by many to retire. He has affairs with multiple women, to which lead to plot-affecting consequences. His left hand is naturally composed of titanium, and it can fire devastating plasma beams.
* [[Keegan-Michael Key]] as American Ranger, Sgt. Agony
*Tucker Gilmore as '''Black Saturn''', a brooding black and purple clad [[vigilante]] highly reminiscent of ''[[Batman]]'' (with a slight resemblance to ''[[Bass (Mega Man)|Bass]]''). He has a wide array of gadgets, with large ring-shaped boomerangs being his usual weapon of choice. Unlike Batman, his wealthy parents are still alive and despise him for his immaturity, overdependence, and refusal to get a job. He easily gets jealous and throws tantrums akin to an adolescent.
* [[Heidi Gardner]] as Cooch
*[[Keegan-Michael Key]] as '''American Ranger''', an exceedingly [[Patriotism|patriotic]] megahero who served in the original League along with Rex and Omega Ted. Ranger was placed in a time tunnel after serving in [[World War II]] who serves as a parody of [[Captain America]]. 70 years later, he rejoins the League after being defrosted by a garbageman. Unlike his wife and Titanium Rex, Ranger hasn't aged due to his preservation. A running gag is that Ranger believes things during his era are still relevant, such as [[Nazi Germany]] being intact, the Japanese attacking America, and being unable to grasp the concept of a black president.
* Tucker Gilmore as Black Saturn
*[[Zeb Wells]] as '''Jewbot''', an introspective and soft-spoken robot man. Initially called '''Robobot''', he renames himself Jewbot after discovering his creator was Jewish and after befriending a rabbi who granted him a hat. He is seen as the brains of the group.

* [[Jillian Bell]] as Titanium Lex/Lex Lightning
*Heidi Gardner as '''Cooch''', an anthropomorphic female cat with a southern accent. Crude, filthy, promiscuous, and very distractable, she however proves useful when the need arises. She has an ongoing on/off relationship with Brad.

*[[Jillian Bell]] as '''Lex Lightning''', a beautiful young woman who is Titanium Rex's illegitimate daughter.

*[[Clark Duke]] as '''Groaner''', a clown with an Afro and a skull for a head. After being held captive by the League for dangerous pranks, he often assist the heroes with dirty work and has a hostile-to-friendly rivalry with Black Saturn. (spoofing the ''[[Joker (comics)|Joker]]'')

From their base called SuperMansion in the fictional city of Storm City, Titanium Rex and his fellow superheroes Black Saturn, American Ranger, Jewbot/Robobot, Cooch, and Brad struggle to keep the team relevant when occasionally visited by the government accountant Sgt. Agony even if it involves fighting an assortment of supervillains like Dr. Devizo as well as Titanium Rex's daughter Lex Lightning.

In season two, Dr. Devizo and Lex Lightning form the Injustice Club in order to combat the League of Freedom. In addition, the League of Freedom deals with a Subtopian invasion led by Titanium Rex's older brother Titanium Dax.

In season three, the League of Freedom has to share the SuperMansion with the Injustice Club in light of Dr. Devizo helping to stop the Subtopian invasion.

Production

[edit]

SuperMansion began life as a 12-minute pilot for Adult Swim, under the original name Übermansion[2][failed verification] where, along with several other pilots (including King Star King and Mr. Pickles, both of which were eventually greenlit), it competed for which pilot would be turned into Adult Swim's next series.[3] The pilot won and aired (along with the pilots to King Star King and Mr. Pickles) on August 25, 2013.[4] For unknown reasons, the series moved to Crackle instead with the name change from Übermansion to SuperMansion.[5]

On April 14, 2015, Sony announced that the stop-motion animated series was being developed by Crackle, which Bryan Cranston would voice and executive produce with his Moon Shot Entertainment.[6] Thirteen episodes were being produced, and also starring Seth Green, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jillian Bell.[6] Matthew Senreich and Zeb Wells wrote and would executive produce the series, while other executive producers would be Green, John Harvatine IV, Eric Towner, and James Degus, while Stoopid Buddy Stoodios would produce.[6] The first trailer was released on July 9, 2015, and the other cast included Senreich, Wells, Heidi Gardner, Tom Root, Tucker Gilmore and some other guest stars.[7]

For the show's second season, Arby's signed a product placement deal with the series as part of a broader deal with Crackle. In addition, Arby's was shown to be next door to the abandoned pizza restaurant which the Injustice Club uses as their hideout.[8]
