> *"A world renowned kaiju hunter from down under. A life-long hero with a larger than life personality. He fights to protect Australia from giant monster attacks, while also doing his best to educate people about these largely unstudied creatures. Irwin's love for giant monsters is only rivalled by his love for his giant wife."* — from the Megaton Girl website

## Appearance

Irwin is a 6'0"[1] African-Australian[2] man with green eyes and dark brown hair worn in shoulder-length dreadlocks. He appears to be well-muscled and wears a high-collared, khaki shirt with jagged, torn off sleeves at the shoulder. He wears the shirt unbuttoned at the chest and also wears a matching khaki eye-mask to conceal his identity. His hands are covered with black gloves and his full-length trousers are a slightly darker shade of khaki than his shirt, held up by a belt, and he also wears black boots.

## Personality

Irwin is extremely friendly and sociable with an optimistic outlook. He seems compassionate on account of his role in defending and helping the citizens of Australia; as well as fighting kaiju, he and Queen-Sized avoid bringing fights into densely-populated areas when they can.[3] He is also depicted as being friendly and sociable on account of his asking after Kirby's wellbeing over the phone.

## History

### Episode 1: Every Two Lifetimes

Irwin appears at the end of episode 1, answering a phone call from Kirby. Without hesitation, he agrees to help Megaton Girl with some superhero lessons, and even volunteers Queen-Sized to be Megaton Girl's sparring partner.

## Relationships

### Queen-Sized

Gloria and Irwin have known each other since at least the late 1990s when Gloria was 20 years of age[4] and are now married, madly in love[5] and professionally work as a kaiju hunter tag-team. Austin says that they are obsessed with each other and that, despite their size differences, they are a match made in heaven.[3]

### William Kirby

Kirby and Irwin seem to be on pleasant terms as Irwin is depicted as more than happy to receive a call from Kirby and asks after his wellbeing. He also expresses enthusiasm at helping Kirby train Megaton Girl and gratitude at "having Kirby in his corner", which seems to imply that Kirby trained or at least assisted him for a while. His friendliness transfers over to his meeting with Kirby and Megaton Girl on the beach.

### Megaton Girl

The Wrangler is one of Megaton Girl's two current superhero teachers. He also seems to express enthusiasm and excitement at the prospect of teaching her.

## Abilities

The Wrangler has enhanced strength and is also in the possession of a monster-pacifying lasso (the exact nature of this lasso is yet to be further expanded upon).[5]

## Trivia

* Austin approves of Gloria scooping Irwin up in her hand and giving him a gigantic smooch content...[6]
* Irwin is "okay" with pineapple on pizza but wouldn't order it.[7]
