Fatman

Appearance

Fatman is a tall, comically overweight man (even before attaining his powers), with reddened skin. Before getting his powers, he had a more realistic-looking body, whereas after getting his powers, his body was changed to a simple circle, with arms and legs protruding out. In his superhero outfit (aka what Fatman is seen in for the entire original story), Fatman wears some sort of orange head covering that leaves room for his eyes. His circular body is covered by a burger suit, and his arms and legs are put in sleeve and glove/sock combinations that are the same color as the burger patty on his suit. Fatman has noticeable blackheads on his nose.

In In Your Imagination! (Remake), after having all his fat vaporized by a laser, Fatman becomes Fitman, who has all the same powers and abilities as Fatman; but just appears more muscular, and has long, flowing hair.

Personality

Fatman is a stubborn, gluttonous, dim-witted, and selfish man. He acts this way due to being a caricature of a real person.

History

In the opening to The Adventures of Fatman, it's revealed that while Fatman was always overweight, his situation was made worse by the series' villain, The Bloater, who is an otherwise normal-looking man, save for his face being a trollface, a popular internet icon.

As is the case with most other Generation 1 stories, the comic was lost to time (more specifically, lost by Gaboza's father, which he claims was unintentional). The story mostly contained Fatman visiting Burger Kings, flying around, and letting a woman get her purse snatched due to misinterpreting the situation. Near the end of the story, Fatman encounters The Bloater again, and the two fight somewhat anticlimactically, exchanging blows as fighting game-esque health bars appear. Fatman defeats The Bloater, but this accomplishes nothing, as Fatman remains fat.
