Flaming Carrot

The Flaming Carrot is a superhero vigilante who fights crime with a variety of gadgets. Once a normal law-abiding citizen, he read 5,000 comic books in a row for a bet and came out with irreparable brain damage. It was then that he decided to wear a giant carrot mask and shoot criminals to death with a handgun. He guards Palookaville from a variety of villains, such as flying dead dogs, a couple of alien invasions, and an army of clones of Hitler’s left foot. He’s incredibly childlike and stupid, but through sheer grit and murderous rage, he earns his place as a true American hero.
