Action Man: The Good Guys
The Good Guys in the Action Man Series
The Action Man series have brought many heroes to the lives of young boys, but for much of that time the exact character of the Action Man was left to young imaginations. During the sixties the most that was known about his identity was his military background and the there would also be some information about his battalion. Some Action Men did come with little pamphlets which gave a bit more information, but generally there was little to go on. It wasn’t until the arrival of 1990s TV series Action Man that his fans really got to know a bit about him.
In the Action Man TV series we find that his real name is Matthew Exler and that he is the adopted son of a famous rocket scientist who also has contacts with a government agency called the ISD. Dr. Exler raises his step son and blood son Dorian to be very well educated. Unfortunately for Dr. Exler his real son Dorian is actually a psychopath who eventually kills his parent’s and makes it look as if Matthew was the cause. Matthew has inherited a lot of money from his step-parent’s death but he is sent away to live in Europe.
Matthew goes through a period of self-loathing and he copes with this by becoming a bit of a playboy. He is not happy though so turns to a meditation master to help him cope with all his internal demons. During one meditation session he remembers his parent’s death more fully and he realizes that it was actually Dorian who caused the fire. Matthew returns to America from a sojourn in the Himalayan Mountains to find his brother and bring him to justice.
While Matthew is trying to infiltrate his brother’s organization he crosses the path of Action Force. He later joins forces with Action Force; together they do battle against Dr. X who was once known as Dorian Exler.
