Not officially- not even on video! I have seen some stills (one SGI
developer's kit had a shot of the Human Torch using a fireblast to deflect some
sort of beam, and there was at least one other) but that's all. I have talked
to a lot of people that have seen it, though. As a fan of both comics and
Roger Corman, I *really* want to see it. Apparently, bootleg copies aren't too
hard to find.

True, but I think the main problem most of those had is that they inserted a
new character into an established series formula- and an established budget!
When you only have $X per episode, and that money is usually used to cover a
few guest star actors and maybe some cars for the Hulk to flip, trying to work
out Thor's costume, Mjolnir, lightning and flight SFX, *and* the extra royalty
money is going to be a problem. A big-budget screen production that starts out
with another hero in the plans might be better off, though.
