**Splendid** is The Town's superhero.

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.

## Character 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*. 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. He believes that being a superhero is a pain in the neck.

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 uncontrollably vomit and give him a 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.

Splendid rarely appears within the series. In fact, not counting Lammy and Mr. Pickles, as they were introduced very late in the series' run, he has the lowest appearance rate out of all the main characters. He does, however, make a starring role in almost all episodes he appeared in.

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*.
