Sportacus

Sportacus is a fictional character and the protagonist of the animated television series of the same name, created by Genndy Tartakovsky. The series is a parody of superhero and action films, blending elements of martial arts, comedy, and fantasy. Sportacus is a young man who discovers he has the ability to transform into a powerful, muscular superhero after being struck by lightning while playing basketball.

The series follows Sportacus as he navigates his newfound powers and the challenges that come with being a superhero.

The show has since gained a cult following and is often cited as one of the best animated series of the 1990s.
