Adventures of Captain Marvel, Space Patrol, X-Men: The Last Stand, Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People, Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere.

Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere is released in 1951. The serial included several science fiction gadgets of the era. The Opticon Scillometer was used for looking through walls. Objects were made to disappear with the Isotropic Radiation Curtain. The Mu-ray Camera could photograph lingering images after the event. Temporary madness could be caused with the Psychosomatic Weapon. A variation on Radar was entitled the Radionic Directional Beam and the Radionic Guide. Pretty cool gadgets for the time.


Enjoy !!!
