My Hero (British TV series)

Common card · No. 207006

My Hero is a British television superhero sitcom, created by Paul Mendelson, and produced for the BBC between 2000 and 2006.

Although incredibly intelligent amongst his kind, Thermoman is unfamiliar with human life, which not only leads others to consider him dim-witted and idiotic, but also causes problems due to his many misunderstandings.
