While a pilot episode was made, the series was passed on and later picked up by [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], which chose to broadcast it as a Saturday morning special, on September 28, 1991, rather than ordering an entire series. The 27-minute pilot has subsequently been aired on [[Fox Kids]] during the off-season.<ref>{{cite news|first=Tim|last=Webber|url=https://www.cbr.com/16-forgotten-comic-book-tv-specials/|title=16 Forgotten Comic Book TV Specials|work=Comic Book Resources|date=December 19, 2016|access-date=July 24, 2018}}</ref> Minor alterations to the concept were made for the pilot, ranging from the children's parents being aware of their superhuman abilities, Julie's acceleration power being altered to her being able to move at superhuman speed and lacking the ability to fly, and the "cloud" aspect of Jack's density power being eliminated in favor of him being able to shrink in size. Additionally, the children did not wear costumes.
