Mr. Parker: Difference between revisions

Gligarman (Japanese: グライガーマン Gliger Man) AKA Mr. Parker (Japanese: ナガイ Nagai) is one of the characters of the day in The Superhero Secret. Although once extremely in shape, Gligarman's age has caught up with him and he's become noticeably more tubby. He is voiced by Eric Stuart in English and 屋良有作 Yūsaku Yara.

He rides a "Gligar Cycle" of sorts and uses his Gligar to help him fight crime. He has a "Gligarcave" underneath his mansion.

Gligarman is, in reality, a toystore owner who invented Gligarman as a character to drum up business, then proceeded to dress up as his own character and put on stunts to promote his action figure line.

Gligarman was obviously intended to be a parody of Batman. His real name, Mr. Parker, may reference Spider-Man, whose real name is Peter Parker.

Although he asked Ash to become his sidekick, his daughter Latoya eventually took the role.
