Baman in digital animation

Baman is one of the main characters in the show Baman Piderman. He is Piderman's best friend, and is based off of the DC Comics superhero Batman.

Character Bio[]

Baman is one the main protagonists of the show, being the first character to have a speaking line in the first episode, Find Da Sandwich. He is a friendly fellow and quickly makes friends with Piderman, effectively his closest neighbor. He lives in a moving house operated by a ship-style steering wheel with his girlfriend Tuba.

Abilities and Movement[]

Doorless Behavior[]

One of the running gags in the show is that Baman almost never enters Piderman's house through the door. Instead, he chooses to crash through the ceiling or wall, or enter through the window. Luckily, Piderman does not seem bothered by this.

Formlessness[]

Baman performs seemingly impossible movements, as he can be stretched, squished, pulled through himself and detach parts of his body. Sometimes parts of his body appear to detach permanently, but regrow or reappear. He appears to have powers akin to teleportation as he is often shown suddenly in a new location with no possible way to have moved there normally, although this seems limited to optical illusions or pulling himself together. He can create new limbs at will and morph them into different limbs[1] Finally, the Baman logo on his costume is a storage compartment that pulls out of his torso, as seen in Happy Winter Friends (Part 2).

The Bwaa[]

"It's better if you don't know." —Baman

Finally, he seems to command a form of destructive telekinesis which only seems to work when he places a pair of black objects, (coal from a snowman, for example) in his eyes, akin to pupils and utters a loud droning noise; "BWAAAAAAAA!" The range, scope and power of this ability is not yet fully understood, and when asked about it by Piderman, he simply said "It's better if you don't know."

Occupation[]

Baman used to work for a massive yellow dog-like creature, Baman's Boss,[2] although the precise job is unknown, other that it involved shipments. He tried a few odd jobs working for the tiny, stern-faced Bug, like doing tax accounting or being a music critic, before eventually trying his dream[3] of becoming a noir-style detective.[4] Whether he's the, ahem, World's Greatest Detective is yet to be seen.

Assets[]

For some unknown reason, Baman had the Winter Friends Wish with him. When Squib took his job Baman was really depressed, eventually being offered a false job by Those Guys just to be kidnapped by Tuba's Dad. Even though Baman was saved by Piderman, Pumkin and Squib, Tuba's Dad managed to take one of Baman's detachable fingers, but the reasons for his actions are still unknown.

Appearance[]

Baman's appearance has remained the same throughout the series. He always has a lavender shirt and tights, a dark purple mask (his "hat"), cape, shoes, and gloves, and a gray belt. In the episodes Make Da Cards and Frow the Party, he takes off his hat to give it to Pumkin. Furthermore, his face is shown to be blank white, and in the exact shape of his hat.

In episode 25, We Hab Da Problem, he lost his boots to Red Squib. Loathe to walk on bare feet, he switches his hands and feet, walking on his gloved hands until Wanda gifts him a new pair in episode 26, Ghost Night 2. These new boots have a gray mark on the front.

Maturity[]

While it appears that both Baman and Piderman are about the same age, Baman has sometimes shown qualities that make him appear to be an older figure. One of these qualities is that Baman is more professional than Piderman because he had a job until it was taken by Squib; in addition, Baman acts as Piderman's older brother, protecting and comforting him when he's scared. Conversely, Baman appears to be more of a sore loser than Piderman, becoming visibly depressed if he loses a game. He also gets very excited if he wins.
