The Ultra Beam is the eleventh episode of the first season of the Super Friends television series. The episodes' villains, weren't really evil, as was the case with most episodes from season 1, although the previous two episodes did have evil villains. Hank and Ben were really just trying to make the world a better place by getting rid of gold, which they viewed as evil, because of the world's greed. That is the overall theme of the episode, how greed is one of mankind's worst problems.
