Don't know whether it was ever animated, but the character sounds an awful lot like Prime from Malibu Comics' Ultraverse line.

That's it! Thanks. Ultra Force was a short lived TV series (13 eps) back in '95.

Aw, damn. Why am I never here for the only ones I know?
Recently remembered this one, and trying to pull out details from my memory is like catching trout barehanded.
Animated series from late 80's or early 90's, featuring a preteen/early-teen kid who could become a big manly superhero by covering himself in some sort of goo. I remember the goo because one of the villains, a ghost or vampire, I think, once got to sample some of it and drew power from it.
The superhero was a variant on the Flying Brick, but I don't remember too much on that; I do remember that he was keeping his identity as a kid from his teammates; there was a funny scene where he was gorging himself on junk food and disguising his voice over the communicator, and barely managed to get his... ecto-suit up and going before they teleported him in.
Any ideas?
