A character from [[The DCU]], created by comic book writer/artist Keith Giffen, '''Ambush Bug''' is the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] secret identity of Irwin Schwab, a man raised solely on TV who one day discovered a green teleportation suit that was sent within a capsule from a doomed planet ([[Unreliable Narrator|or so he claims]].) He has starred in several critically acclaimed mini-series, though he is pretty much [[Canon Discontinuity|on the fringe of the comic universe he inhabits]].
Ambush Bug first appeared in ''"DC Comics Presents''" #52 (December, 1982). Originally he appeared as a minor foe of [[Superman]], before deciding to become a superhero himself, though Ambush Bug proves himself utterly incompetent at the job. As time went on, his appearances became increasingly in-jokey, [[Fourth Wall]]-breaking, satirical and surreal. As a generally [[Fun Personified]] character, he wasn't seen much during the pits of the [[Dark Age]], and though he is rarely used by other writers, he still exists in the DC Universe.
The closest [[Marvel Comics]] equivalent would likely be [[Deadpool]], with a dash of [[Squirrel Girl]] thrown in, though Ambush appeared before either of them.
He has appeared in the animated TV series ''[[Batman: The Brave

* [[Gag Series]]
* [[Gender Bender]]: When he appeared in an issue of [[Supergirl]]'s comic, he mistook her for a Gender Bent [[Superman]].
** During his latest{{when}} miniseries, he also found his own gender-bent [[Yandere|alternate]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: He started off as a supervillain and decided to become a superhero.
Line 65:
* [[Un Installment]]: ''Ambush Bug: Year None'' has an issue number 7, but no number 6. The joke being that there was a huge delay with the release of the next issue after issue 5... so it was numbered 7 to mock the delay ("Issue 6 is ''never'' coming out!")
* [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]: In ''Ambush Bug: Year None'', he wakes up and finds he got married to Dumb Bunny of the Inferior Five.
** And then he tries to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|have his marriage]] [[One More Day|
