HEROES & ALLIES

Generic City's defender, and sworn protector of children and puppies. Naive and not exactly bright, Popsicleman nevertheless makes up for it with a strong and unflagging dedication to the cause of good, bringing justice and joy to the world through frozen snack treats. His origin story tends to change every time he tells it.

Popsicleman's friend, driver and one-man tech support team. Formerly an electrician specializing in Doomsday Device repair and maintenance, Max joined Popsicleman and now does all the maintenance work for the Freezer and the Ice Creamer (Popsicleman's headquarters and vehicle, respectively). Max is pretty smart (as his name implies) and often gives helpful advice, even if Popsicleman ignores it.

Popsicleman's ice cream cone girlfriend. She is level-headed and generally easy-going, often taking the middle ground in an argument, but she has a strong sense of justice and aesthetics. By day she is a mild-mannered art student, but when evil strikes, she becomes the fearsome ninja Jubei Lee.

Cherry Jubilee's ninja alter-ego. Jubei Lee ruthlessly strikes down the enemies of good with her two katanas, and strives to leave strong messages of aesthetically dramatic justice in her wake.

A mysterious resident of Popsicleman's closet. Professor Quoz appears to spend most of his time drinking tea and spouting cryptic messages, but if his claims are true, it's all part of his ongoing battle to protect this world from extradimensional demons.

A troop of penguins who reside in the Freezer and assist Popsicleman in his hockey games against Team Evil.

A strange-looking rabbit. Rescued from an experimental genetic engineering lab where something had gone horribly, horribly wrong. Believes the solution to everything is to "give hugs." Or maybe that's just all it's capable of saying through its misshapen mouth. The less said about it, the better.

The original popsicle man, Buddy was created in the 1920s as a shameless marketing ploy for the Wonderpops^tm Happy Fun TV Hour. He brings the power of happy times! He likes making friends, playing on his magical ukelele, having picnics with his friends, making pies, and making friends. Max Intel once brought him temporarily forward in time through a temporal portal.

Popsicleman's edgy 1990s counterpart, Freeze has the power of no moral restraints. He hails from a blood-stained, dystopic, near-future urban deathscape, where he began his life of grim-faced crime-fighting after his parents were killed in front of him. He has never been seen not grimacing. He secretly enjoys knitting, but only Max knows this.

Popsicleman's brief and ill-conceived attempt at a super pet. Designed to "pop up" wherever there was evil. However, the overly excitable puppy was, um, incompatible with Popsicleman's icy exterior.

VILLAINS

An infamous supervillain who once held Generic City in the throes of terror for months. He was eventually defeated and captured by Popsicleman, and is now held in Lockjaw Prison. Supposedly he had a hand in Popsicleman's creation, but this hasn't been verified.

A villainess who cannot admit that someone as absurd as Popsicleman can exist. She has dedicated her criminal career to destroying him in an effort to prove he is logically impossible.

A would-be villain whose power comes from the homemade flamethrower strapped to his arm. He is desperate to prove himself a fearsome opponent for the ice-based Popsicleman, but doesn't seem to know how to go about it.

A shape-changing villain who once replaced Popsicleman in an attempt to destroy the frozen superhero's reputation. Notable for his goggle-eyed costume and incredibly long tongue (don't ask). His evil goatee appears on every form he takes.

Hailing from Castle Doomenstein, located in the quaint and beautiful Bonebreaker Mountains, the Baron and his cronies will do anything to see Popsicleman done in. No reason. He's a villain, that's what he does. He's been known to team up with Ms. Lead.

An evil mastermind and literature buff whose tendrils have spread throughout Generic City and across the table where he sits all day. He has tried to defeat Popsicleman and his friends through many sinister schemes, but so far he has not succeeded. Perhaps it is because of the power of friendship. Perhaps it is because he is a potted plant. Currently he resides at The Freezer, mainly because he lacks the power to move himself anywhere else.

Popsicleman's childhood hero and 1950's predecessor, Golden Age Popsicleman is not quite as heroic as history might suggest. He believes that everyone is a potential commie spy, and that Americans invented knees. Popsicleman got a chance to meet him after winning a Placeb-O's^tm-sponsored contest. The former superhero fragmented the Freezer's household and caused a lot of trouble before Popsicleman was able to face him down.

This mysterious, strange-headed foe showed up one day in Generic City and enacted a hostile takeover over the populace. He is a very polite villain, motivated primarily by the job market. He prides himself on his progressive tactics.

Once a mild-mannered librarian working a circulation desk, The Literati was pushed to the edge by Popsicleman's constantly overdue books. Unfortunately, on the other side of that edge was a barrel of toxic waste, sitting right behind him. When he emerged, the irradiated librarian had become The Literati, bent on defeating Popsicleman and spreading literacy throughout the city.

A mysterious figure who appears in Popsicleman's dreams. The dream realm is his domain, which he may manipulate at will. He seems to have plans in store for Popsicleman, but his ultimate motives still remain unclear.

A popsicle bear (yes, that's right) that Popsicleman brought home one day. A cape temporarily gave it super powers, causing it to rampage throughout the city.

A villain whose form, powers and motives change depending on the situation he's placed in. He is vulnerable to modernism.

Really? You want to know about Magnetic Dude? Seriously? He's a guy who taped magnets to his home-made costume. That's it. Seriously. What kind of supervillain uses magnets?
