Some of these were seen in the mid-80s on the USA Network's Cartoon Express. It would air in the mornings and evenings Mon-Fri, for an hour. Sat evenings had an hour block as well. Sun mornings, it would run for 5 hours. They ran mostly H/B shows and occasionally some Ruby-Spears shows for good measure. That was how I discovered some of these shows.

I ran into the same thing. In high school, I'd mention one of those shows and it seemed like often I was the only one who remembered them.
Since they re-ran these a lot of these cartoons of this era on Saturday mornings as well as early weekday mornings on less popular over the air channels up until the mid 80's, many of us do remember most of these.
If no one can't see the eerie similarity of a young man raising a club and saying "Mightor" to change into a super hero character and one who raises a magic sword and says "By the power of Grayskull" to change into a super hero character with basically the same special effects, then someone is missing the Alex Toth effect on later cartoons. I have always thought the three best Saturday cartoons that could make the jump to the modern cinema screen were, The Heculoids, Mightor, and Jonny Quest.
Mightor/Samson & Goliath....so now we know where the idea of Prince Adam & his sidekick tiger (He Man & Battlecat) originally came from.

Of course I knew those wonderful HB cartoons. I was rather fond of Little Rok from Mightor. He was a brave little boy (no sense of self preservation, however). I wonder how he would turn out when he became an adult. I thought he might inherited the Mightor club. (Remembered Tor got the club from an old man) HB was good doing kids heroes. Considering Samson; I had to endured The Space Kiddets to watched Sansom. Ted Cassidy did the voice for several HB animated characters. (He was also the voice of Indjin Joe in the animation/live action Adventures Of Tom Sawyer series from The Banana Splits show.) That was the reason Joe 90 was one of the few Andersons shows I DIDN'T see. Too busy watching the HB cartoons on the networks channels. 😄

The only one of these that I can remember seeing was Samson and Goliath. Got to admit, though...hadn't even thought about that show in probably 55 years...
Mightor and Sampson = He Man. Frankenstein Jr = Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot
The show that put the kibosh on Saturday Morning Action cartoons was the HB-Marvel collaboration FANTASTIC FOUR (1967). That cartoon version was very close to the comic book and included the Human Torch (Johnny Storm) throwing fireballs. Supposedly, kids were emulating him by setting stuff on fire.
Dude, you forgot Frankenstein Jr's other show: The Impossibles!
I never noticed before how similar He-Man was to Mightor and Samson (especially Mightor).

Mightor was literally the Hanna Barbera version of the Mighty Thor, hence the similarity in names. Marvel was pulling out of cartoons after the high quality but expensive Fantastic Four (which put basically everything to shame until the 1990s Batman Adventures), ending the Mighty Thor project. The most popular magic word superhero was Captain Marvel, with his sidekicks and family also having their own magic words.
