Footnote
The Supercar biographical research was conducted
by Martin Hutchinson and published in Century 21 No.
10, Autumn 1992.
Chris Bentley, 1996 Fanderson chairman and editor of FAB magazine
commented in FAB 26 (Vol. 5 No. 2 Page 38) that, while the
biographies were entertaining, well written and inventive, some of the
facts stated did conflict with on-screen information within the
Supercar series.
The conflicts noted were:
- Prof. Popkiss's first name is Rudolph (not Felix)
- Prof. Popkiss arrived in the U.S. in 1929 (not 1937)
- Mike Mercury was born on November 22nd (not April 3rd)
- Other inaccuracies are also present
The corrected information has been used in the biographies on the
Supercar web site, and is shown in red where a change has been made to
Martin Hutchinson's biographical details as published in century 21
No. 10.
