Fatman (The Weird Al Show)

Fatman, otherwise known as Al Yankovic, is the titular main protagonist of the cartoon within a show series called The Adventures of Fatman, which was a segment seen in The Weird Al Show. He is a ordinary skinny human until he eats a donut, he gets fat and changes into the enormous alter-ego, called Fatman. Like many comedic idiot heroes in fiction, he is the town's crimefighter, albeit an incompetent one without the help of his snarky hamster sidekick, Harvey the Wonder Hamster; Fatman fights the forces of evil for the greater good, such as his crazy evil uncle Frank.
He was voiced by Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic, best known for voicing Milo Murphy.
==Personality==
As a regular skinny human, he is viewed as having average intelligence, happy-go-lucky and fairly competent as his job with being a employee at a donut shop called Donut World.
This contrasts his super-powered alter-ego, Fatman; who is incredibly exuberant, absent-minded, gullible, dim-witted, immature, clumsy and a goofball who'd spout out a bunch of heroic mumbo-jumbo when he sees crime of any sort while doing obliviously stupid things in practice (for the most part), but he tends to be very incompetent as a superhero unless his sidekick points out the obvious. However, Fatman's heart is in the right place, as he is still a firm believer in truth and justice, albeit he delivers it in a somewhat unorthodox manner.
Despite having the intent to stop crime, he tends to be a bit full of himself when Fatman suspects crime. Which causes him to be either distracted, blissfully ignores what actually happened when he thinks he has solved a problem, acts sadistic towards those he considers "antagonists", has shown to be misguided by tactics unless his sidekick creates the path for the villains' downfall, and has subpar problem-solving skills when it comes to stopping crime as a result.
==Powers and Skills==
Many of his superpowers come from licking the shoe, anyone licking the shoe can allow them to:
*Flight: Can fly wherever he wants to, albeit slowly.
*Super Strength: Being strong enough to carry any heavy object at will. As well as being strong enough to carry signs, giant piles of ice, and giant piles of cole.

==Trivia==
*He is a stand-in for the show's lightheartedly goofy and cartoonish version of Superman, especially since Fatman is a incompetent goofball version of said superhero to fit the weird and quirky nature of The Weird Al Show.
*In fact, his characterization and overall personality is very remenisceint in the likes of Earthworm Jim and Hong Kong Phooey.
*His incompetence and low intelligence also rivals many idiot heroes like Hong Kong Phooey (even more than Power Pooch), especially since they're both depicted as omnipotent superheroes who often do stupid things to save the day and solve a problem, as they generally rely on dumb luck to win or succeed at anything, and they both have intelligent sidekicks who do a better job at saving the day despite considering them to be "sidekicks".
