Earthworm Jim

Earthworm Jim is the titular character and main protagonist of the Earthworm Jim series created by Shiny Entertainment. Originally an typical earthworm that lived in New Junk City, he is now a earthworm that lives in Terlawk in the cartoon or is seen going on many adventures in the first two games, who was given a super suit by accident and now his nemesis Psycrow vows to defeat Jim to bring the suit back to Queen Slug-For-A-Butt to destroy and/or cause mayhem in the galaxy.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the funniest video game characters next to Crash and was one that was a satirical take on platforming heroes.
 * 2) And just like Crash Bandicoot, His design is crazy yet funny and creative at the same time (which gives him a iconic look), and he always finds his own way to defeat bosses, no matter how ridiculous or powerful.
 * 3) He can whiplash his enemies from his super suit using Jim himself as the whip funnily enough and shoot any enemy and obstacle without fail.
 * 4) He has saved many worlds, multiple times from numerous crazy villains like Psycrow, his archenemy and who was responsible for giving Jim his super suit by complete accident.
 * 5) While he has a gullible, headstrong (and sometimes clever) way of being determined to save the day with rescuing Princess What's-Her-Name that'd usually result in silly endings, he enjoys going on adventures regardless.
 * 6) His cartoony elements based on Warner Bros's slapstick gags in Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 were enjoyable and flat out hilarious.
 * 7) * Speaking of cartoony, his cartoon interpretation showed how he was one of the funniest, expressive worms in 90s cartoons and was given so much personality, such to the point that it'd seem fascinating.
 * 8) ** Not only was he a satirical take on platforming characters, he was also one of the most unforgettable idiot-heroes that is on-par with Freakazoid and The Tick.
 * 9) His catchphrases such as "Eat Dirt!", "Whoa Nelly!", and "Groovy!" are awesome and endearing to hear.
 * 10) He genuinely cares about his friends such as Peter Puppy and Princess What's-Her-Name, and will stop at nothing if the bad guys do pose a credible threat to Jim himself.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He was flanderized in Earthworm Jim 3D, in which he became an loud yet forgettable, mostly unfunny, somewhat sadistic and a hugely accident-prone Butt-Monkey with a gun..
 * 2) He can be weaker than some enemies in the first game and rather the punching-bag towards them like the muscular cats for example.
 * 3) In the cartoon, he can be a bit self-obsessed and/or too simple-minded.

Trivia

 * Earthworm Jim 1's idle animations were based off of Daffy Duck.
 * In the cartoon, he is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, and is noted to be an hyper-evolved, four-brained earthworm.
 * He was once revealed to be making a comeback in 2021 (or some time in the future) called Earthworm Jim 4 after his previous 2 poorly done games had utterly killed the franchise and were now attempting to recreate the series.
 * He has made an appearance as a secret character in the first Battle Arena Toshinden game for the PC.
