Mermaid Man

Undersea costumed crimefighter

Mermaid Man is a fictional superhero from the animated television series *SpongeBob SquarePants*, an elderly former crime-fighter who lives in a retirement home with his sidekick Barnacle Boy.

The character parodies aging superheroes, speaking in a raspy voice and shouting catchphrases like Evil! while struggling with memory and mobility: He went full Mermaid Man and forgot what he was doing mid-sentence.
