These always made for fun and memorable episodes. Futurama, Jhonny Test, Jimmy Neutron, not Phineas and Ferb, tho, that Marvel crossover fricking sucked
The Phineas and Ferb Marvel crossover was not a "Characters gets superpowers and they lose them by the end of the episode" episode though. The only kid who gets powers is Baljeet, who gets Hulk's transformation by accident as a joke and was never the focus of the episode. Other than that, Buford just hits people with a fish and Phineas and Ferb used the Beak suit they made in the previous episode dedicated to them being the Beak hero persona. So maybe that'd be a better "superpowers for an episode" example from that show? Even though it was only Phineas and Ferb as a hero and they clearly didn't lose the beak suit by the end of it as they use it again.
Another possible option is pic related, the episode where they make a cartoon about themselves being superheroes, and give their fictional selves unique powers, but that wasn't actually them getting powers, just cartoon versions of themselves that they imagined up.
Blew my mind as a kid they switched up the powers. Normally you'd give the girl the flexible bendy stretchy powers and the boy the moron dumbo strength.
Sounds autistic putting it like that but frick it, I was a simple kid who grew up on cartoons and video games back then

>the male characters are named "guy" or "man"
>female characters are not named by gender
What was meant by this
maybe because adding woman would make their hero name sound a little too serious? I dunno man
>Ability to command the loyalty of sea creatures?
>Hey Zoidberg, get in here!
>Screw you!
Always cracks me up

>a sexy heroine is now considering porn
Frick outta here moron.
Yeah, piss off
These are the best kind of episodes. Can't get enough of them
It's even better when they get different superpowers, even more if they subvert the expectations of what each character is gonna get
nah screw that. I prefer when the superpower reflect the character. Makes it more fun for me
A mix of both can be fun, too. Just look at

>that one Simpsons treehouse of horror episode
eh, I'll give you that one. It was pretty kewl
This Men in Black episode where they become the Fantastic... Three.
And the one where an alien starts moonlighting as a superhero and J is given powers to stop him.
Is that the one where J gets Human Torch powers?
>captain yesterday is really fast
>captain yesterday is from the past
>he's from the past and really fast he's captain yesterday
>captain yesterday is fast
>also he is from the past
>not just fast but from the past
>captain yesterday
Man, that IS fast.
One of my favorite non-scary Treehouse of Horror segments
Yeah, Simpson Sheena was cute too
Likewise. Loved the comics, too.

Stretching does make sense for a mischief-maker like Bart, but super strength was certainly an unexpected choice for Lisa. Not that I'm complaining.
