Mighty Mouse
Caped cartoon rodent
Mighty Mouse is a cartoon superhero character—a mouse in a cape who rescues other mice from danger.
The name is used figuratively for someone small who displays unexpected strength or courage, or ironically for someone who overestimates their own power: He thinks he's Mighty Mouse, but he can barely lift a bag of groceries.
