CHARACTERS

The world of Howard Stern’s Fartman is populated by a large cast of freaks, weirdos, nutjobs and wackadoodles. In other words,  it’s very much like the world in which we live.

Here are some of the characters and some interesting tidbits about them:

FARTMAN

REAL NAME:
Howard Hindblatt

BASE OF OPERATIONS:
His parents’ garage

KNOWN ALLIES:
Robin, Fred, Baba Booey

KNOWN ENEMIES:
Pretty much everyone else.

Work hard to become a respected hero who is loved by all.

Everyone thinks he’s a disgusting freak, including himself.

ROBIN

Robin

REAL NAME:
Robin Quivers

BASE OF OPS:
New York, NY

KNOWN ALLIES:
Fartman, Fred, Baba Booey

KNOWN IRRITANTS:
Fartman, Fred, Baba Booey

POWERS:
Super strong, durable and impervious to most forms of poison and radiation (she can actually draw energy from them!), Robin also has several undefinable abilities. They may be a kind of telepathy or an unknown type of energy projection. Or maybe they’re just pure attitude. Some of Robin’s attacks include Dagger Glare, Shut-Down, Bitch Slap and HA!

FACTOID:
Robin is one of Fartman’s closes allies. Her cool, calm head often helps Fartman get a new perspective on problems. But when she loses her temper, run for your life.


FRED

REAL NAME:
Fred

OCCUPATION:
Inventor / technician, developer of  fart-powered equipment, vehicles and parafartnalia. 

POWERS:
Fred is a mad genius. If he wanted to, Fred could build himself a high-tech suit and become a crime-fighter on his own. But Fred comes to realize that Fartman’s gas is an incredible power source and the only thing limiting his ability to harness it in new ways is their pitifully low budget for parts and equipment

FACTOID:
In addition to designing and constructing Fartman’s equipment (Fartmobile, Fartcycle, Fartsubmarine, etc.), Fred has also created most of Fartman’s costumes (at least some of which are suspected to be intentionally humiliating)


BABA BOOEY

Baba Booey

ALIASES:
MaMa Monkey, TaTa Toothy, Fafa Fo-hi and many other variations

TYPE:
Talking Monkey or Human Who Looks Like A Monkey (the debate rages on)

LANGUAGES:
English, Long Islander

OCCUPATION:
Coordinator of Fartman’s entire crime-fighting operation, scapegoat for anything and everything

BIGGEST PET PEEVE:
Being mistaken for the team mascot despite his advanced intelligence. This problem could be due to his being a monkey or due to his Long Island accent

GOALS:
To be part of the greatest team ever and to be treated like a human

Baba Booey has a secret identity in which he “disguises” himself as a human named Gary.

No one will take the blame for this thing

Artificial “Intelligence”

OCCUPATION:

JIMBLE KIMBLE

REAL NAME:
Jimble Kimble

TYPE:
Human (unconfirmed)

OCCUPATION:
TV Personality, Media Mogul, Serial Nepotist, Fartman’s Pal

BROMANCE THEME:
“Can You Read My Behind?”
Though their relationship begins as a clandestine mission, a true bromance develops between Jimble and Fartman. Fartman’s ability to “read” others through their farts (known as speaking Fartsi) quickly creates a bond. It culminates in a flight in which Fartman and Jimble connect like Superman and Lois in 1978, complete with spoken word song, of course.

FACTOID:
Jimble’s relationship with Fartman is complicated and could be described as “love/hate”, “dysfunctional” or “just plain messed up.”
