Earthworm Jim (animation): Difference between revisions

A Saturday Morning cartoon adapted from [[Earthworm Jim (video game)|the side-scrolling action game]] for the Super Nintendo and Genesis, ''Earthworm Jim'' is the saga of Jim, once an ordinary earthworm until a super-suit fell from space, and he crawled inside it and was mutated into a slightly-goofy superhero. With the assistance of his sidekick Peter Puppy (who has a tendency to turn into a hulking purple monster when provoked) and the beautiful Princess What's-Her-Name (who was changed from her typical [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] role in the games, with [[All There in the Manual|backstory]] portraying her as a ditzy stereotypical beauty type, into an [[Action Girl]]), Jim battles an assortment of oddball villains, including The Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed Slug-For-A-Butt (Princess What's-Her-Name's evil sister); the bird-headed mercenary Psy-Crow; the aptly-named [[Mad Scientist]] Professor Monkey-For-A-Head (and his sidekick, Monkey Professor-For-A-Head); Evil The Cat, the diabolical feline ruler of Planet Heck; and Bob the Killer Goldfish.
