スッパマン
Hero-wannabe from a far away planet, who unfortunately has no super powers or sense of justice; rolls around with his belly on a skateboard, throws grenades, and changes his clothes in a phone booth, eating an umeboshi to transform. Suppaman works as a reporter when in disguise as Kenta Kuraaku (暗悪健太, Kuraaku Kenta?), which literally translates to "Dark-and-Evil" generic man's name; note that to Japanese ears "Kuraaku Kenta" sounds like Clark Kent).
