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 Dis Continuity|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]]
The closest [[Marvel Comics]] equivalent would likely be [[Deadpool]], with a dash of [[Squirrel Girl]] thrown in, though Ambush appeared before either of them.
