Summaries

An accident-prone superhero seems to cause more problems than the villains he faces.

The Red Grasshopper (El Chapulín Colorado) is a clumsy and inept superhero, who wields a hammer as his primary weapon. While able to shrink to the size of 8 inches and having super-speed, his powers are often not enough for him to save the day. He frequently struggles with his own fears, and has to overcome them in order to act heroically. The Grasshopper frequently has to deal with rival superhero Super Sam (dressed like Uncle Sam), an arrogant American who likes to show-off his wealth.—Dimos I
