Spinach: Vegetable Made Famous by Popeye // Missouri Environment and Garden  News Article // Integrated Pest Management, University of Missouri


Who is Popeye?
Popeye the Sailor is a character introduced in the comic strip Thimble Theatre in 1929. The comic strips contained adventure/humor stories that eventually focused more on Popeye and his adventures. He became one of the newspaper's most popular characters and eventually got his own cartoons. Several of the cartoons are now owned by Warner Bros and have consistently been aired for close to a century now. Known for his wacky toonforce powers and being the mascot of spinach, Popeye has become a staple in pop culture. This sailor is strong and with the power of spinach he defends his girlfriend and the honor of his favorite vegetable.


Moveset Potential
Popeye is a brawler. He's strong enough to send enemies into space by rotating his arms like a propellor and delivering a powerful punch. He's also a user of the toonforce. He can lift heavy objects with ease, defy gravity, be in multiple places at the same time, and summon spinach from thin air to rejuvenate his strength. No doubt he would have a bunch of tricks and shenanigans up his sleeve. His playstyle would have him be a heavy hitter with some tools to surprise his enemies.


Why should Popeye be in MultiVersus?
Popeye is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time. He has inspired generations of kids to eat their spinach, as well as make them laugh with his cartoon antics. Popeye would also be a rep for Warner Bros. comic strips and is a prevalent name in that category. Plus we need him to fight Bug Bunny to decide who is the stronger toonforce rep.

Popeye would be great, and I can only assume the rights wouldn't be expensive, for better or worse. Plus Bugs and Popeye in the same game also sounds good.

I've seen Popeye at a concert in between songs. I'd imagine it would be easy to get too based on that.

Don’t build up my hope here.

If he gets in, I hope he’s not portrayed as a pushover who relies on spinach to actually get KOs like in his white outfit shorts and more like he can clearly hold his own with the spinach being a last resort/trump card like his original version. Basically less like Joker and more like Terry/Kazuya.

1 | attack / tilt / down / ( a ) | double leg sweep

2 | attack / run | akin to "footballer character" run from "mario" games | has a somewhat strong attack power | if attack is overpowered popeye will do a clunk sound effect backward with a "AUoohh!". sounds like "ow". "ahh. uoh." and fly backward onto his head with a clunk sound effect as his head hits ground | so as to resemble when he gets beahten up in a moment in the cartoon| his body becomes a projectile

down smash a | brick build | brick can be smashed into projectiles that fly very far

side smash a | talks mess while whirling | whirlwind waist level to chest level punch

up smash | whirlwind legs

up b | propeller

running animation


trivia | if popey lands a blow onto brick wall with his side smash. his side smash has almost no sound. probably just a dramatized bassy fist air punch. and when the hit connects. his attack stops midway. and so does the brncks as they are bending outward already from punch. as if the sound of dominoes kind of squarely being put onto each other flat but this way and that way. and sounds as if just 2. or 2 giant checkers? brick like sound. or just as if bricks do same. and the bricks go flying.

will be editing. lol.
