TurboDymoMan

TurboDymoMan shames YOU!!!

“TurboDymoMan!”

~ The shout from TurboDymoMan's TV commercial

“TurboDymoMan has gone out!”

~ Another shout from another commercial. Yes, he literally went out.

TurboDymoMan (the English translation is TurboBangMan) is a superhero of the 21st century, who worked in forgotten Poland from August 2009. He was actually the only Polish superhero at the time, but due to Poland's low crime rate—as most of its criminals had emigrated to the United Kingdom—he got bored and became a star of TV commercials for the 36and6 cellular network. Those commercials became a hit, but started a public debate over the embarrassing level of commercialization in Poland. The controversy was short-lived because teenagers were enthused that there was a superhero in a fantastic costume who possessed unbelievable ability.

Abilities

TurboDymoMan had only one super power: He could do everything 50% better (or do 50% more of it). He could swim 50% faster than a dolphin, fly 50% faster than Superman, kick 50% harder than Cristiano Ronaldo, and so on. This super power was the basis of the above-mentioned commercials. However, some of these feats resulted in things of which no one wants to have half again as much.

Commercials

On the commercials shown below, TurboDymoMan shames: hen, Betty, brush, and beaver, in that order. Unfortunately there are no English subtitles, but the message transcends language. In fact, you may wish to dial down the sound, as hearing the Polish language is sometimes fatal.

TurboDymoMan devises a new ability

“TurboDymoMan...breaks the barriers...breaks the rules...”

~ Some guy from a commercial featuring TurboDymoMan

One day, TurboDymoMan got tired of using the same ability over and over, and invented a new ability: the ability not to care. This new ability avoided fatigue and still let him achieve new feats. He often expressed his lack of concern with the typical middle-finger gesture. However, since TurboDymoMan didn't care, he merely gestured with his pinkie.

TurboDymoMan's achievements using the power of insouciance

4. A dragon needs to eat virgins. TurboDymoMan doesn't need to eat them.
5. A sandwich needs to fall upside down. TurboDymoMan doesn't need to.
6. You need to breathe. TurboDymoMan doesn't need to.
7. A corpse doesn't need to do anything. TurboDymoMan gives up.

Retirement

TurboDymoMan eventually got so popular that commercial interests decided he had to be killed off. They recruited SuperEs--a super-adversary also working for the 36and6 cellular network. After slamming a door in TurboDymoMan's face and claiming victory over him, SuperEs became the only active Polish superhero. TurboDymoMan retired and disappeared.

The following commercial illustrates the "death" of TurboDymoMan. But we all know that he survived, just like Elvis:
