Stinkoman
From Homestar Runner Wiki
- This article is about the character. For the game, see Stinkoman 20X6.
Stinkoman (also spelled Stinko Man) is Strong Bad's 20X6 counterpart. He is an amalgam of anime clichés, including blue hair, big eyes, a blocky sort of body and an obsession with challenging and fighting. His birthday is on the sixth of January, one week before Trogdor's. His greatest fight was against Sticklyman from Under Construction, who wasn't much of a challenge. However, he seemed to be afraid of Trogador and for the first time backed down from a "birthday challenge". He seems more than willing to eat dirt, since he has done so on more than one occasion. Stinkoman apparently has a cell phone, as he claims to when he invites Marzipan to a challenge in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0. He has the ability to call his ship, the Stinkowing, when he whistles. He was introduced in japanese cartoon, but his name was first mentioned in island, where Homestar Runner called Strong Bad "Stinkoman". Compared to how Strong Bad treats Homestar in the present era, Stinkoman treats 1-Up well, but is still somewhat intolerant of him. Stinkoman is also referred to as "The Guy".
His only Halloween costume (or "cosplay") was Speed Racer, featured in 3 Times Halloween Funjob.
Stinkoman is very similar in build to the classic Mega Man, who also had blue hair at one point. Several of Stinkoman's more famous lines, such as "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a challeeeeeeeeenge?!" or "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older", are surprisingly similar to those said by Tengu Man, a boss enemy from Mega Man 8, such as "It's just a kid, don't make me laugh!" and "Are you worthy of my challenge?", both in content and voice intonation.
The line "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older!" is also used several times in the anime movie Akira (or some variation, depending on the translation). The 20X6 and Akira connection is seen again later in the Easter egg for 3 Times Halloween Funjob.
When Stinkoman grits his teeth, plus signs (+) make up the cracks between them. The character Donkey Kong in the original Donkey Kong arcade game is known for using the "+" character in a similar fashion to indicate the separate teeth in his mouth.
Stinkoman also stars in the game Stinkoman 20X6, which The Brothers Chaps introduced in the NYU Talk and later released on the website. Stinkoman's sprite in the game Stinkoman 20X6 is in fact an edit from the original Mega Man sprite for the NES.
According to alternate universe, he is friends with Vector Strong Bad, who functions as his "training simulator".
