Sportacus

Sportacus 10, also known as Alex Busybody and Sportacus, is one of the main characters from the LazyTown series.
== Charactah Account ==
Sportacus is the Number 10 superhero of LazyTown, and always appears to save the day when someone's in trouble. Full of energy and always active, Sportacus never does things halfway and encourages the townspeople to be active—but always remembers to make it fun. In the original plays he had much the same role, albeit more mischievous and stern, and his reach extended beyond LazyTown.
Sportacus modestly calls himself only a "slightly-above-average" hero. He, presumably, comes from an island in the North Sea like his predecessor, who has been only identified as "Number 9" in the series. He is highly athletic, as shown by his name, and does flips and jumps to do simple things such as brushing his teeth or preparing himself a sandwich. His only weaknesses are: not knowing how or when to relax and sugar, with the second causing him to suffer an exaggerated sugar crash, which he calls a Sugar Meltdown.
Sportacus is a very understanding and modest person. He knows what he is capable of and is always worried for everyone. He's always trying to help people when he feels it's needed. He doesn't hate anyone (including Robbie Rotten) and he wants to be friends with everyone (even Robbie!). He always sticks with the kids when they are playing or doing sports and he knows what they are capable of. He trusts them a lot, enough to give them responsibilities, knowing they are going to do them. He's not perfect, and has been saved by the kids on several occasions, but he never gives up and he always does his job.

== Trivia ==
* Sportacus's Icelandic name is Íþróttaálfurinn, which translates to "the Athletic Elf".
* In the original plays and the Icelandic dub, Sportacus is an elf rather than a human. This is referenced in several episodes when Robbie uses "blue elf" as an insult to Sportacus.
* When the original pilot episode was produced, Bessie was written as Sportacus's mother. Although this plot point was changed for the show, it was still included on her original character description from 2003.
* Sportacus' real name was Alex Busybody in the pilot.
* According to LazyTown's Greatest Hits, Sportacus' favorite song is Twenty Times Time.
* In Welcome to LazyTown, a previous superhero called Number 9 was mentioned. This may be another Sportacus.
* Sportacus moves so much that sometimes he accidentally bumps into things, such as his airship's door. He also did so once in the first Icelandic play, Áfram Latibær.
* Sportacus has a logo of himself on the side of the Skutla.
* Before the show was produced, Sportacus's bedtime was actually 8:06. Referring to the Sportacus origin story in this post, that was the time that Mr. Kicker sent everyone to bed in the mines. The time was eventually switched to 8:08 because one of Mani Svavarsson's most beloved instruments is the TR-808.
