"Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!" So goes the battle cry and theme song for Hanna-Barbera's tiny titan of justice, who first appeared on TV screens in 1965 in a show alongside another animated crime-fighting animal, Secret Squirrel. Blessed with amazing strength, super speed and the power of flight, Atom Ant would spring into action and lend a hand in cases that were just too tough for regular law enforcement to handle. Recurring villains pestering the atomic-powered insect included Ferocious Flea and Dr. Von Gimmick.
