Preferring to just make him a generic super hero. This episode was full of that sort of thing so they skipped it saying "If anyone asks, we'll say Disney threatened to sue."
Now that I do think about it, this seems to be more likely. They found the episode unnecessary for their purposes, so they omitted it entirely. It's a common practice with anime localization, so I shouldn't be so surprised...[/QUOTE]
Then why add that stupid made up episode from clips of other ones. They could have just released the DVD with one missing. They did that with the '80 series.

Though, I try to be more open-minded about it and accept it as an "interesting stage of my life".
