Ralph Hinkley was minding his own business, when his car
mysteriously drove itself out into the desert. Ralph was visited
by aliens, who had decided to endow him with superhuman powers to fight
the battle for truth justice and the American way. To this end, they
gave him a special suit and an instruction manual. Unfortunately, Ralph
managed to lose the instruction manual before getting the hang of using
the suit. He then reluctantly teamed up with FBI agent, Bill Maxwell, played by
Robert Culp, who wanted Ralph to use the suit for large missions like
ending the Cold War.

Trivia
-
After the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, William Katt's
character's name was changed from Ralph Hinkley to Ralph Hanley to
avoid association with would-be assassin John Hinkley Jr.
-
The producers faced a lawsuit from DC Comics accusing them of
plagerizing Superman with this series. However, the suit was
rejected as the judge ruled the lead character was sufficiently
different, especially since the basic concept of the character who
is given an alien uniform and weapon to fight evil is far closer to
another DC Comics character, Green Lantern.
