Splendid

Splendid (Originally listed as Splendid The Flying Squirrel) is one of the main characters of Happy Tree Friends, and its spin-off series, Ka-Pow! He is also a premium character in Deadeye Derby.
==Character Bio==
Splendid is a aqua blue superhero flying squirrel with light-blue patagium (gliding wings), a light-blue/white oval marking on his torso, and a red mask around his head. He is largely based off Superman; his powers include flight, the ability to shoot laser beams from his eyes, super strength, super speed, supersonic hearing, super durability, the ability to turn back time, and can breathe ice. He even works for the newspaper (The Daily Acorn) in See What Develops. He is most commonly seen doing simple housework until he hears the screams of a character that needs to be rescued, whom he'll go to rescue, often reluctantly. His appearance is somewhat based on Rocky J. Squirrel from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Unlike Flippy who is rarely featured, Splendid has never featured in an episode due to the repetitive trend of him killing the characters he rescues. Whenever he appears, he is usually the starring character the episode revolves around, with the exception of Class Act.
The irony of Splendid being a superhero is that he often unintentionally kills the characters he rescues (Giggles in particular). This is usually because of his ignorance and/or his own power. Most of the time, he is oblivious to the other characters' deaths he causes. He often flies away without checking to see if the other characters are actually safe, with the exception of the episodes Helping Helps and Wrath of Con. However, in Gems the Breaks, he purposely killed three characters (The Mole, Lifty, and Shifty, the former with no provocation). In most episodes he appears in he kills all characters present, though in some episodes (ex., See What Develops) other characters cause each others' deaths.
Splendid rarely dies due to his high-invulnerability and durability. However, Splendid was apparently killed in the schoolhouse explosion in Class Act (You can see Splendid fly in when everyone is hurt outside). His only on-screen death was in the TV episode Gems the Breaks, where he was overexposed to his one and only superhero weakness: Kryptonut, a name-parodied reference of Superman's Kryptonite weakness. It looks like a green glowing acorn, except it's made out of rock. Not only will the Kryptonut make him lose his powers, he'll become extremely nauseated and catch stomach flu. While it would make sense that Kryptonut is Splendid's only weakness, Warren Graff has stated that "He's not as immune as he seems to be," meaning he may die more often in future episodes. It could be safe to say that his deaths involve some sort of explosion.
He has his own action show called Splendid's SSSSSuper Squad, part of the Happy Tree Friends Action Series: Ka-Pow! show. In his first Ka-Pow! episode, Mirror Mirror, he met his evil red counterpart named Splendont. He was about to get acquainted with him, but Splendont snubbed him, and they began to fight each other to determine who is the better superhero. After Splendont shoved the moon towards Splendid and ran him into the ground his doppelganger flew away, making this the first time Splendid has ever been defeated. He pressed his acorn-shaped watch to contact a team of other animal superheroes called the Supremely Sensational Stupendously Spectacular Super Squad for assistance. They were last seen trying to pry Splendid out of the pavement, but failed when the giant crowbar they were using broke.
Due to his low number of deaths, he survives most of the episodes he appears in. He survives Helping Helps, It's a Snap, Better Off Bread, From Hero to Eternity, See What Develops, Wrath of Con, Breaking Wind, and Just Be Claus while he dies in Class Act and Gems the Breaks.
==References to Superman==
It should not be too difficult to recognize that Splendid is heavily based on Superman. From his super heroic personality, to the color scheme. Here are all the known similarities to Superman.
*All of Splendid's powers, like flying, super strength, laser vision and ice breath are references to Superman.
*Kryptonut, Splendid's weakness, is a obvious spoof and reference of Superman's weakness, Kryptonite.
*Splendid has a secret identity that works as journalist/reporter for a newspaper, The Daily Acorn (a parody of The Daily Planet). This is a reference to Clark Kent, Superman's secret identity. In his mild-mannered alter-ego, he wears a pair of eyeglasses, a necktie, and a fedora, even though he still wears his red mask behind his glasses.
*In See What Develops Splendid was trying to use a phonebooth to take his clothes off like classic Superman usually does.
*In the episode Better Off Bread, Splendid reverses time by making the Earth rotate backwards like in the first Superman film.
*Splendid's evil counterpart, Splendont, could be a reference to Superman's doppelganger Bizarro.
*In Splendid's SSSSSuper Squad, he is a part of a league of superheroes, which would be spoofing Super Friends or The Justice League.
*Splendid's blue color-scheme is similar to the blue superhero outfit Superman wears.
