In New Defenders #128 (Feb. 1984), Beast lamented that his VHS tapes of the 79 episodes of Star Trek were ruined. I wonder if Beast was also a fan of The Defenders television series that ran 1961-1965 on CBS. Before William Shatner became Captain Kirk, the actor appeared five times on the courtroom drama. Far from being typecast, Shatner played a different role in each of those Defenders episodes:
"Killer Instinct"
"The Invisible Badge"
"The Cruel Hook"
"The Uncivil War"
"Whipping Boy"
Shatner previously starred as a young defense attorney in a television play titled The Defender, which aired in two parts on CBS in 1957.
