Atom Ant
Atom Ant © Hanna-Barbera

The first of Hanna Barbera's later 60's super-hero's (albeit an insectoid one), Atom Ant was a sort of parodic cross between Batman and Superman. He operated from his secret anthill in the countryside, where he had various gadgets including a supercomputer and weightlifting equipment. Like Batman he was often called upon by the (horribly underfunded) police dept, but he basically had Superman's powers, minus the sensory ones (sight, hearing related powers). His catchphrase was "Up and at 'em - Atom Ant!"
