Splendid

Splendid is a robin egg blue flying squirrel. He is largely based on Superman, being able to fly at speeds over 900,000 miles per hour, shoot laser beams from his eyes, has x-ray eye vision, has super strength, supersonic hearing, can turn back time and can breathe ice. His appearance is somewhat based on Rocky from Rocky & Bullwinkle. He is usually seen doing housework until he hears trouble.

The irony of Splendid being a superhero is that he often unintentionally kills the characters he rescues (i.e.- Splendid saving Lumpy from bear traps, only for one of them to close around Cub's head). This is usually either because of his ignorance or his own powers. Because of this he is commonly referred to as the worst Superhero ever. Most of the time, he is oblivious to the other characters' deaths. He often flies away without checking to see if they are actually safe. He believes that being a superhero is a pain in the neck.

His only confirmed death was in the TV episode "Gems the Breaks" where he was overexposed to his one and only superhero weakness: "kryptonut", which looks like a green glowing acorn, except it is made out of rock; a reference to kryptonite, the weakness of Superman. Not only will the kryptonut make him lose his powers, but it will also make him vomit continuously and give him stomach flu.

Splendid was voiced by Rhode Montijo for the first two seasons and is currently voiced by David Winn.
