Splendid

Splendid is one if the canon characters of Happy Tree Friends. He is town's superhero.

## Bio

Splendid is a pale-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; he can fly, shoot laser beams from his eyes, has super strength, super speed, supersonic hearing, super durability, can turn back time, and can breathe ice. He even works for the newspaper (The Daily Acorn) in *See What Develops*.

There is no knowing where or when Splendid was born. Rumors say that he was born on a hillside, where he mysteriously gained his super powers. He now spends his days saving people from the town but rarely, if ever, succeeds, as he unintentionally kills the people he rescues. Sometimes he succeeds in rescuing them without killing them.

## Trivia

* Even though Splendid has the ability to fly, he has acrophobia (fear of heights), which is revealed in the "Collect Them All" section. This is may have been a joke as Splendid can be seen flying in the sky in several episodes and he doesn't seem to have any signs of fear while flying.
* Splendid is the only character whose name is an adjective and doesn't end with a "y".
* While Cuddles is the most advertised character in reality, Splendid is the most advertised character in the HTF universe. He appears as a toy in *A Sight for Sore Eyes*, there is a Splendid costume, which Toothy wears in *Remains to be Seen* for Halloween, he appears on comic books in *Suck It Up* and *Wrath of Con*, and in the latter episode he also appears as toys and on a poster. The S for his name is also seen on T-shirts in the same episode. He is also branded on punching bags in *Just Be Claus*.
* Every time he hears trouble or after he saves someone, Splendid usually hums his own superhero fanfare. The only episodes were he didn't hum are *Helping Helps* and *See What Develops*.
* His heat vision usually looks like a red laser, but in *Just Be Claus*, his heat vision resembles fire.
* All of the TV episodes that star Splendid features all four blue characters (including him).
* In *Better Off Bread*, *It's a Snap*, and *Breaking Wind* Splendid shows signs of disliking his job and getting tired of having to save everyone.
	+ Besides the fact that saving people stops Splendid from doing his own hobbies, he might also get tired of saving people because he's aware that the characters could save themselves. In *Better Off Bread*, if Giggles watched where she was going she wouldn't have fallen off the cliff, in *It's a Snap*, Lumpy could have easily avoided getting trapped in the giant bear trap, and in *Breaking Wind*, Splendid sighs and rolls his eyes when he sees Lumpy followed by a few other characters standing right in the open during a tornado storm.
* Toothy and Sniffles may be Splendid's biggest fans as the former is often seen admiring Splendid and has a Splendid costume which he wears in *Remains to be Seen* for Halloween. The latter is seen to have Splendid comic books in *Suck It Up* and *Wrath of Con* and owns a Splendid action figure as seen in *A Sight for Sore Eyes*.
* He seems to be the first and only character to be designed to look like he has pectoral muscles - his chest is slightly bigger than his lower torso.
* He is also the only character to be drawn with a belly button, as seen in Wrath of Con.
