:
Comic Book Guy is an obese, nerdy and snobby man best known for
: his sarcastic quips. Although he is 45 years old, he is
: obsessed with collecting comic books and is an avid
: science fiction buff. He holds a master's degree in folklore and
: mythology (he translated The Lord of the Rings into Klingon as
: part of his thesis), has an IQ of 170 and is a member
: of the Springfield branch of Mensa. He has long hair which he
: always keeps tied in a ponytail. His catch phrase is the
: declaration "Worst [subject] ever",
: sometimes to the point of breaking the fourth wall. For example,
: in the episode "Saddlesore Galactica", he wears a
: T-shirt saying "Worst Episode Ever" while criticizing
: the idea of the Simpson family keeping a horse since it had
: already been done. Despite his solitary life, in The Simpsons
: Movie, minutes before his likely death, Comic Book Guy says that
: his obsessive comic book collecting is a "life well
: spent". However, in "Treehouse of Horror
: VIII", when a nuclear missile homes in on him, he says to
: himself "Ohh, I've wasted my life." In the
: 19th season finale, "All About Lisa", it is revealed
: that he has long, beautiful, overflowing hair. Comic Book Guy
: not only has a heart attack in Season 12 but encounters death
: twice; once in a French Missile Strike on Springfield, and also
: in "Treehouse of Horror XVI", where Comic Book guy is
: killed by Mr. Burns for refusing to run for five whole
: minutes.
But on a serous note, "Who would win a fight between Batman and Spiderman?"
"No...I don't think so..."
