My Secret Identity was a Canadian television series originally broadcast in the 1980s starring Jerry O'Connell as 14-year-old comic book fan, Andrew Clements, who while looking one day for his friend, Dr. Benjamin Jeffcoate (Derek McGrath), trips and is hit by a radiation beam, causing him to develop superpowers. He uses these abilities to fight crime, to solve personal problems and to help others. He hides his powers from his mother, sister and friends with the exception of Jeffcoate. Andrew initially called himself Ultraman, but this was later dropped, most likely due to legal issues involving the Japanese superhero of the same name.

[edit] Powers

Initially, Clements powers include superhuman speed, invulnerability, and levitation (note that this is not flying β€” he can make himself weightless but lacks physical means to propel himself. Clements regularly carries small aerosol spray containers in his pocket to achieve this). Later in the series, after once again inadvertently being struck by another ray created by Dr. Jeffcoate, the photon beam, Andrew develops superhuman strength.[1] Andrew's powers would continue to grow and develop to the point where he would be able to propel himself in flight without the use of spray cans.
