Gligarman with his Gligar

Mr. Parker (Japanese: ナガイ Nagai) AKA Gligarman (Japanese: グライガーマン Gligerman) is a character 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 in the Japanese.

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.

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

Trivia

• Unlike regular Gligar in the anime, Gligarman's costume is colored as Gligar are in the games.
• 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.
