PantsMan

“Defender of the truth justice and um.. pants.” 
- Leo, I Like Bunnies
PantsMan is a supposedly wealthy webcomic writer by day and an incompetent vigilante by night, he protects the city from evildoers and the somewhat equally incompetent Dr. van Kruglor. PantsMan is an author insert character meant to represent VG Cats creator, Scott Ramsoomair.
==Appearance==
PantsMan conceals his identity by wearing boxers and sometimes underwear on his head, and a pair of jeans around his neck providing a two pronged cape. Like other characters, PantsMan's appearance changed over time, his first costume had a green shirt and a pair of heart patterned boxers for his mask, his latest costume features a red shirt with short red sleeves, long blue sleeves underneath, a long belt from his shoulder to his waist, and a blue trousers for his mask. In a strip featuring him protesting against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), his cape is slightly more torn up than usual. He is also slightly fat, as seen in strips Humiliation Tube and Dress Rehearsal.
==Personality==
PantsMan is a lazy and incompetent superhero, with somewhat low self-esteem but at the same time possesses a smug sense of superiority. He enjoys video games and other forms of nerdy media. He also seems to be a bit of a prankster and has on occasion, played his practical jokes on the Justice Squad, most especially Batman and at one time egged the Batmobile. He tricked Leo Leonardo III into becoming his sidekick as 'Brief Boy', but Leo had only made him popcorn and had to join in on playing pranks against the Justice Squad with him instead of being an actual sidekick.
When people started bashing Aeris for aborting Leo from time in The Comedian, PantsMan responded by aborting 5 more fetuses, dressing them up and putting them up on display in a theater, possibly hinting insanity, or he just likes or supports Aeris that much. He has pulled several other deranged acts, such as hiring Major Payne when a fan asked to cameo in a comic, a former military official who was kicked for being a masochist, to perform certain acts on said fan, walking off saying "Now you two have fun in rehearsal!"
== Relationships ==
It is implied throughout VG Cats that the two main characters, Leo and Aeris, are aware they are in a webcomic, with PantsMan being the one who directs the comics. He is introduced in the comic I Like Bunnies by Leo, explaining that the reason Ramsoomair doesn't update the comic on time is because he is busy defending the city from evil as PantsMan. Leo also calls him a "lazy bastard" in the same comic. In the comic Dress Rehearsal, PantsMan is seen with Aeris and Leo in a set, giving them costumes to wear.
==Trivia==
*His favorite console is the PlayStation 2.http://web.archive.org/web/20030617142235/vgcats.com/misc/cast.php
*PantsMan may possess superpowers like shooting electricity from his hands and converting his pants-like cape into an over-sized fist, however these may just be powers he gave himself in the game City of Heroes in the strip Super Friends.
