Kinnikuman
Kinnikuman, Muscleman, 筋肉人
Kinnikuman (キン肉マン Kinnikuman, lit. Muscleman) was a manga created by Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada, under the pen name Yudetamago (which literally means "boiled egg" in Japanese).
Originally created as a parody of Ultraman, Kinnikuman was a clumsy goof of a superhero whose services were only called upon to battle monsters if no other superheroes were around. Kinnikuman's powers came from eating garlic, which would gradually fill the "garlic meter" on his forehead until he could grow into a giant to fight the monsters. His main attack was the "Kinniku Flash" beam.
