Just like many other superheroes, his color scheme contains red, white, and blue. His initial costume consists of primarily red and white, but whenever he is seen posing in any of his heroic poses a blue background is always present. These colors represent the justice he strives to achieve in each book/episode. As for his primary colors, the red of his cape represents his power, passion, and strength he has. His other color, white, found on his underwear represents his innocence due to the fact that he is unaware of what he is doing while he fights crime and evil.
Lighting: Blinding
For his lighting, I felt “blinding” was the only choice of adjectives that could work. As he runs around fighting evil, all he wears to protect his body is a cape and a pair of underpants, leaving his pasty white skin on display for the world around him. This represents multiple things. For one, it shows anybody can go above and beyond to save the world or in essence help make the world a better place. It also represents how regardless of how dark the situation may be, light/good will always prevail to make the best out of the situation.
Shape: Russian Nesting Doll
In order to describe my superheroes shape, I chose the shape of Russian Nesting Dolls. His head is on the smaller side and as you work your way down his body it hits it's peak around the hip area, just as the dolls do. Once the dolls have hit their largest point they slim done once more, my hero does this as well for his legs. While it may not be the most muscular of statures, this shape still grants him a big and intimidating size. This shows opponents how he's going to be difficult to take down and most importantly difficult to get around.
Who is it? Captain Underpants
All of these traits and motifs explain the one, the only, Captain Underpants. Principal Krupp by day, unknowingly Captain Underpants by night, he protects the world from all sorts of danger he, his students, and his school may face in just his brilliant red cape and freshly white underwear. Even though a lot of these dangerous encounters are caused by the same two that are responsible for his super powers, George and Harold, he manages to defeat them one-by-one without even breaking a sweat. Captain Underpants is also easily the most noble of all superheroes due to the fact that he is completely unaware of any of his heroic journeys and endeavors.
The Antagonist
Color: Purple and Blue
The main colors of Captain Underpants's antagonist are purple and blue. The purple represents the mystery about her origins and motives. Purple also is known to be very popular among children, which acts in her benefit because they are the targets she hopes to attack and her color helps to lure them in to make this easier. Her other color, blue, represents her evil wisdom in which she uses to come up with evil plots in which to overthrow the world. It also represents a sense of calm, another factor that helps deceive her enemies and make them easier targets.
Lighting: In Shadow
Like most villains, this antagonist consistently has a lighting that casts her into a shadow. This shows how she is evil and how she tends lurks in the shadows before making her attack. The shadow also represents how she separates herself from normal civilization just as shadow separates light from dark. Just as her color purple shows off a sense of mystery, the shadow shows a sense of the unknown and the lack of knowledge people have about her. By lurking shadows, it also increases he ability of getting away with her wrongdoings and making it easier for her to escape from the situation quickly if she needs to.
Shape: Medusa
The shape of the antagonist, is that of Medusa. Just like Medusa's hair consisted of snakes back in mythological times, she has serpent like hair to give the same appearance. The sight of Medusa was known to be such a sight everybody towered in fear of her and avoided her/looking at her at all costs. This was also due to the fact that looking into her face was known to turn you instantly into stone. What could be more evil than that? By giving this antagonist the same hairstyle instantly gives her the same vibe Medusa gave off, creating fear in anyone who may be at risk of running into her. It is also said that looking into her eyes would cause her to give you one mighty big and painful wedgie.
Who is it? Wedgie Woman
The name of Captain Underpants's antagonist is the evil Wedgie Woman. The perfect enemy of a hero that wears nothing but his skivvies due to the fact of how easy it would be to give him an atomic wedgie. On top of her diabolical self, she also has a minion of robots that help her out as well. These, along with the serpents in his hair, combine forces with her hands allowing her to gives numerous wedgies all at once. All of these aspects on the offensive make it hard for Captain Underpants to keep track of them all at once without allowing at least one to sneak past his defenses and reach his waistband.
